Backstage Rider? - Gangrel - 09-21-2005
I was browsing The Smoking Gun and looking at various groups backstage riders for their concerts. Some seem ridicoulous (did you know Carrot Top wants a female masseuse at every show?) and others funny (The Foo Fighters will only share their dressing room with Oasis or Led Zepplin)
Does anyone know of a Hip rider floating around anywhere? It would be fun to see and compare to the other acts.
I remember reading an interview with Eddie Van Halen as their rider had some strange stuff in it. He says the reason they put the weird stuff in is to make sure if the rider is actually read, as there is "important safety stuff in there too". So, I can see his point..... though most people I think just do it because they are stars....

The shop keeper and his son are another story, we beat them to death with their own shoes.

A friend of mine was apart of the technical staff at a university, and a part of Big Sugar's "gratis" was 4 Heineken, and 5 Coors Lite, wonder where the other 3 beers went?

LOL!!! I love those movies. Part 2 is still my favorite. A couple of my favorite quotes:
Del Preston : Woodstock? That was quite a show, man.
Garth : You were at Woodstock?
Wayne : Excellent! What was it like?
Del Preston : It rained all morning, and then it cleared up in the afternoon. And that's it. I almost remembered something else, but it's gone.
Garth : How can you sleep like that?
Del Preston : Listen, sonny Jim. Sleeping like this will add ten years to your life. I learned it from Keith Richards when I toured with the Stones. This may be the reason why Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
