so this guy is coming to play here at WMUC, i won't reveal his name, but check out his rider:


5 – clean towels

24 – bottles of water
1 – 12 pack of Budweiser Light
1 – 12 pack of Budweiser
1 – bottle Stolichnaya or Skyy
2 – liters of soda water
2 – diet Red Bull

fresh fruit
fresh vegetables
humus
nacho chips
salsa

-----

- NO Coors, Coors Light or Rolling Rock
- NO Absolut
- NO assortment of sodas
- NO potato chips/snack food



and our general manager looks at this and says "rider? Eisley didn't have a rider...they're good people"
Laughing

Eisley has set the standard, they're bigger than this craphole and he wants a 12 pack of Budweiser Light...which doesn't exist...KNOW YOUR BEER NAMES JERKY!

he's also getting paid...this must be a normal concert...still...Eisley is better

It could have been worse. The ole' cliche - 60 pounds of M&Ms, separated by color. But I suppose requesting 2 cases of awful beer is bad enough. Errrrrrr, "my rider." Humus is good though. Still, I hope you screw up the order on purpose. Twisted Evil

I can't stand people like that. You should spit in his salsa.

6 Dirty Magazines
3 Bags of M&Ms - colors separated
12 Subway sandwiches

& lots of stupid crap like that

See the M&M's thing pops up so often b/c, eventually the artist will have to pay for everything. (At least that's how it is according to Incubus.) So the M&Ms cause unnecessary labour. I guess it make them feel more "divine". Rolling Eyes And if they don't separate the M&M's it's breech of contract and they can sue.

You know, riders are necessary (usually), but it's like this guy just wants you to feed him and pamper him. What a punk. Confused

actually, there was a good reason for the m&m thing. i think it was van halen that started it when, during an arena tour, they had a ridiculously long rider with a ton of technical requirements (power, lightning, etc...). they threw the m&m thing in there with all the technical stuff so they would know if the promoter/venue bothered to read the entire thing.

Heh, have you guys seen what Muse require's backstage? I know it's a completely different situation since they're a really big band and all... But holy crap, how can 3 guys go through 20 Red Bull and then there was the alcohol...

but, they probably have less artificial coloring, since chocolate's already brown!

I don't think the shell is made of chocolate.
