Oh, the truth about that backstage candy…

22 February 2012 | By troy-wafx in Uncategorized | No Comments Yet

Urban legends have it that during the 80′s Van Halen demanded that all brown M&Ms be removed from there dressing room catering needs. Stories have been told of David Lee Roth ripping up dressing rooms if he saw any brown M&M’s….turns out both rumors are true.

Roth says the detail was placed in their “Chinese phone book sized contract rider” so promoters would also pay close attention to the safety and electrical needs of their “gigantor” set.

Others strange concert rider request…

-Ted Nugent’s  rider called for no styrofoam cups and one box of man sized Kleenex.

-David Bowie’s loves cheap coffee and wanted a 12-cup Mr. Coffee machine.

-Metallica listed bacon be available at every meal and throughout the day.

-Rush demanded “absolutely no Heineken,” maybe some Molson would be better for the Canadians.

-Foo Fighters seem to have fun with their riders,  asking for a variety of ‘stinky cheeses” and “Gatorade in wacky colors.”

I bet the man who was nearly killed by Keith Richards guitar when he rushed on stage probably thought it was the night of his life. It was the Hampton Coliseum in 1981 as the Stones wrapped up their Tattoo You tour, Keith Richards was celebrating his birthday and some poor soul rushed the stage and watch what happens….

You can buy a bootleg of this night here.

Another note…what does this say about Kiss drummer Peter Criss if a five year old can do his job?
