amps/drums aren't bad if pre-arranged. hell, we don't even mind lending our shit if asked on the night. guitars and snare/cymbals on the other hand... who doesn't bring that shit to a show?? (seriously I have been asked to lend a guitar minutes before the band played).
we played a show at a place recently with a house kit that didn't have a stool. we asked another band if we could use theirs and they said no! I couldn't believe it, it's a fucking drum stool for god's sake!!

agreed.
or a big box in the middle of the stage with all kinds of rack mount gear, a bassplayer with a billion stompboxes. in fact that's one itself generally.
bassplayer has a billion stompboxes AND has a cabinet with a tweeter and/or more than 4 strings.
more than 2 drummers.
you can tell they "dressed up" for the occassion, and one of them didn't.

when you ask your friend's band to play a show and they refer you on to their booker.

this only applies to non-english-speaking bands, but you'll understand:
when the band decides to communicate with the audience in english. example: the band is norwegian. the show is in norway. everyone in the audience is norwegian. and still the band goes "aaayyyyyhhh are you guys ready for a goddamn show!!!".
