'snoops dressing room must have one complete sony playstation with miscellaneous 1999 sport cartridges(madden 99, NBA love 99, NCAA college 99 and 4 controls)..this should be rented....it will not be considered a show cost if purchased.
PLEASE TRUST THAT THIS WILL BE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MONEY YOU WILL SPEND.

I like the Melvins asking for a tank of Nitrous Oxide and masks, as well as a wide variety of adult magazines, 'the filthier the better'....

The Divas section is great. J-Low wants white walls, white curtains, white furniture, etc, and theres a detailed description of the flowers that should be provided. She also has a list of bands whose CDs should be available in the dressing room.

The Pixies want '1 New Deck of Poker Size Red Bicycle Playing Cards'. Eh, sorry Frank, we could only find the Blue Bicycle ones.

Don Henley will get very 'upset' if theres anyone backstage thats not meant to be there.


More to the point, what would you have as your rider. Me, I reckon I'd go for the following.

- dressing room must have a door (in case you want to stop people seeing you get jiggie with a groupie afterwards)
- must be a jacks in the same building (preferably with some bog roll, but not essential)
- a copy of the Irish Times no older than 1st December 1993
- any sick on the carpet should be relatively de-odorised
- 6 pack of tayto crisps and a can of coke

a jacks with a lock on the door so people aren't bursting in on you while yr trying to have a whaz.
a mirror not covered in dust so i can put my make up on
a 10 pack of hunky dorys

Tom Petty likes Harp Lager and Guinness. Fair play to him.

^ haha i know who wanted that shit. i had to sort out a rider full of crap once and it was a nightmare (no car). then the fucks left most of it lying around the dressing room. woulda been pissed off had we not made a couple of quid out of them.

Yeah, same shit happened. First they ask for all the shit and then they leave half it behind but take any unfinished drink with them.

 

[lympog]

haven't had to deal with a rider yet... thank christ

unnamed romanian gypsy band asked for a "meat dinner (NO RABBIT)"

 

[ogy]

i like the idea of asking for useful stuff like clean pants and socks and the 9 volt batteries would be handy for guitar pedals. maybe strings and plecs too
