>>127375535
Natural sugars from fruit are different

>>127375554
True, but it says ANY kind

Fun fact: cum has sugar in it

>>127375554
they're really not. it's the fiber that makes fruit okay to eat.

>>127374796 (OP)
This whole thing started because of Van Halen's infamous m&M's, but the thing no one gets is that the band only included that as a test, to see if all of the technical stuff on their rider would be done correctly. If a venue couldn't manage to separate the m&ms correctly, the band would assume that the much more complicated and dangerous stuff, like pyrotechnics, weren't assembled correctly, either. The media simply took the candy part and ran with it, to make van Halen seem like a bunch of dickheads for trying to make sure their concerts were safe, a lesson Great White could have learned.

>>127375636
>the thing no one gets is
everyone knows about the m&ms and the reasoning behind it stupid zoomer

Does Taylor Swift subsist on anything but Turkey Hill ice tea and tofu sandwiches?

>Call yourself Meatloaf

>>127375371
Alcohol is rad you faggot

Why do artists need so much food backstage? No fucking way they eat all that shit.

>>127375849
this all seems like stuff Gene would eat. where's the candy? i know Ace probably loves candy.

>>127377186

It's just pose. Capitalism won and they know it.

>>127376520
They jerk off and cum in the socks

I bet an Elvis list would have been good.

>The Carpenters backstage list
>one shred of lettuce and some ice water
Wait, that's not actually funny.

>>127377267
>lettuce
That many calories?

>>127377077
It's probably from the 60s or later, some of those items don't seem like they would have been available in the 50s.

You sure you don't have that confused with Paramore's?

I could see Jack White slapping a roadie who didn't make his guacamole correctly

lemmy needs his milk and cookies before bed

>>127377267
>Bathroom scale MUST be present in dressing room
>NO MIRRORS of any kind in path from dressing room to stage

Do they actually get all this stuff? Do you have a picture of it all laid out on a table?

>>127377523
Basically looks like charcuteries
>>127377434
Make me some guac and a trisket and take your sweet little time about it.

>>127377147
more or less what i expected

>>127376503
bad taste in beer

>>127377731
this is such a total woman food list

This is also 100% totally predictable.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/313743474/Eagles-1994-Tour-Rider
I'll just link it here because scribd is a PITA to use.

Is it true that PsychicTV would request a bunch of insane shit like severed limbs and roadkill as a "joke"?

>>127375445
It was known that Lemmy ate barely any food at all, most of his nutrition was from drink.

>>127377850
I think that also led to Dio's early demise, fucker hardly ate anything.

>>127374796 (OP)
>No arrowhead
Even druggies know arrowhead tastes like ass.
>cereal
Cereal on tour? That's what confuses me the most

damn, 1999 and he was already a living corpse and needed emergency medical support on tour. how did he live 26 more years? no one knows.

>alcohol and Tex-Mex food
What else could it have possibly been?

Who tf is Juice Wrld?

>>127377923
Just some dead junkie. Pay it no mind.

>>127377893
he was diagnosed with parkinson's in 2003 (second season of the osbournes). he really was superhuman in weird ways

The pool table makes sense but I didn't think literal boomers even played vidya.

>>127377938
That's predictable except for not mentioning the drinks being flavored with 14 year old girls' pussy juices.

there doesn't seem to be any for Paramore online

I kind of half expected him to die of cancer at 63 with that diet.

>>127377523
Wigga out here eating lunchables

>>127377523
>>127378045
Pleb doesn't even get the pizza lunchables but the ritz cracker ones. Weak sauce.

>>127374796 (OP)
What the fuck is up with nigger rapper's obsession and pride surrounding their preferred breakfast cereals? It's so fucking funny. They're all just little boys pretending to be men singing about fucking "chicken headed hoes." Nigger, you're eating lucky charms backstage trying to act hard. HAHAHAHA

>>127377938
>no actual chili peppers on order
I am disappointed

>>127378097
Not any worse than living on Lunchables I suppose.

>>127378097
Juice Wrld's audience was fat 15 year old girls who self-harm so it fit.

>>127378123
Lunchables are the bomb. Try one of those pizza ones with the sauce. Real sauce, no fakes. Just sauce. It is crackhead food but it is good

>>127378097
Niggers don't progress mentally past about the age of 8. A 58 year old coon still drinks kool-aid and eats ho-hos like he's a kid. Why do you think they clog up our hospitals with obesity, heart disease, and diabetes? TAX funded EBT

everyone knew how Fats Domino would never eat anything but Cajun food to the point where he had a special cooking set taken with him on tour so he could eat the stuff anywhere he went

>>127378097
like lol Pantera and Lemmy's diets at least matched the music

>>127378256
Based and jambalaya pilled

Seems like she likes stuff spicy.

>>127375554
Not really. Fructose is fructose. My diabetic grandfather thought he could he 10 mandarin oranges a day lol.

>>127375636
>the thing no one gets

this is very common knowledge lol

>>127375558
Then why does it taste salty?

>>127376045
>makes their career in california
>uhh FRENCH wine please

what cocksuckers

>>127376503
Love how all of these faggots request high quality organic food and then wash it down with a liter of booze and soda. Typical alcoholic thinking.

hummus is such a faggot snack

>>127378333
>There cannot be any competitors products anywhere she or her entourage may be photographed
At first this sounds odd but it makes sense, I'm sure MJ had this stipulation too when he was doing the Pepsi Generation shit

they were old and probably cleaned up of their excesses by then if this was from the 80s it would probably be nothing but liquor and cigs

>>127378371
Because it has salt in it too

>>127379407
yeah, but 1 can of soda is cringe

>>127377731
1 box of kotex tampons, extra large

>>127377731
this was in 2008, a lot has changed since then

ok

Probably the biggest legend ITT and basically he just wanted fruit and cheese, tea and coffee and a couple of soft drinks
classy

>>127383174

well, once he was old. if that was from 1984...ha ha oh boy.

Damn, he's literally me. I might have to start listening to the Dead.

What would your rider have?

>energy drinks
>tendies
>pidsers
>mcdobald's

>>127383343
Honestly like a lot of these artists say in theirs i would want a catered meal with somewhat healthy items like teriyaki grilled chicken and good sticky rice, meat and veggie stir fry sushi maybe a high quality Neapolitan pizza. I'm surprised by the amount of junk food these rich and famous celebrities have backstage but maybe that's just for everyone else

>>127383343
>Candy canes

>Duck l'orange

>Hawaiian punch and vodka fountain

>Mozz sticks with marinara

>>127383343

>(8) pints of Coors Banquet, canned
>(16) amish pickled eggs
>(3) doz. buffalo wings
>(1) tray tiramisu

>>127383343
I wrote it out in detail but it came across too pretentious and autistic, so I'll summarise without the necessary specifics of a real rider

>Clean, tepid drinking water
>(1) Three-course vege- /or pesce- tarian meal with an appropriate paired wine (more detail would be about this on the rider. it wouldn't need to be always fancy or expensive; but at least healthy, dignified, sustainably sourced, and without processed ingredients)
>(1) Bread loaf (I would specify which type/s)
>(1) Fruit platter and/or charcuterie board for guests/crew (depending on the venue and scope of people)
>Small range of juices to drink (mostly for guests/crew, to socialise with)
>Means of making coffee/tea (mostly for guests/crew, to socialise with)
>Use of internet and smartphones/smart technology is strictly prohibited. No exceptions.
>(1) small television with access to local channels
>Minutiae

>>127383343
>10 cases (of 12) White Monster Energy Drinks (no sugar)
>50 hard boiled eggs, peeled
>4 warm rotisserie chimkens
>10X Bottles Assorted hot sauces (High end, no tabasco, frank's or texas pete's. Huy fong brand sriracha only)
>Inflatable alligator slip n slide backstage ending in a kiddie pool full of sparkling water or seltzer
>Stereo system backstage with working 8 Track tape player and various 8 track cartridges (must be pre tested working and pads and rollers checked)
>Large screen tv with DVD player and a selection of 1970s scifi movies (ex Planet of the Apes, Logan's Run, Zardoz etc)

>>127383343
camel riders

>>127376520
Eh it makes sense, if you're on tour for months it would be annoying to have to go hit up an H&M in every city. Underwear and socks are disposable.

are there also major artists who are low maintenance and whose riders are basically "idk just some decent food and bottles of water i guess" or is having weirdly picky and specific demands the norm

>>127385338
based

>>127383343
>ten gallons Thick Water
>assorted laxatives and anti-diarrheal medications
>pitcher of ice water with artichoke hearts in it
>ken burns civil war docuseries box set
>three cowboy hats, varied sizes
>bathroom door MUST be taken off its hinges and removed from artist dressing room prior to arrival (extremely important)
>”quality flesh of local beast” idk figure it out
>five pairs of XXL cotton briefs

All of these artists deserves to get dragged into the streets and beaten to death with sticks.

I guarantee you all these venues were just washing the towels and coffee pots n shit then just slapping on a price tag and saying "brand new for you!"

>>127386926
Depends on the venue and how famous the artist is but I'm sure it happens

>>127377507
Yes they do

>>127387573
And that's why piracy is good. Never listen to a musivian complaining about not being paid enough.

>>127378104
This is the most reasonable one ITT I feel. Maybe Ozzy comes second. Literally all Springsteen is saying here is "a hot meal served at a real table with real utensils." No dumb specifics about what the meal should be each day, just "the person in charge will make a decision for the chef in the morning".
Based Boss.

>>127375636
People doing pyrotechnics and people doing M&Ms are not the same personnel, Van Halen were retarded

>>127377687
>assortment of cough drops
>bottle of vitamin c
'rakes breath reeks lmao

>>127385291
I feel like it's less artists being picky and mkre people who are actually assembling these lists asking the artists for specifics.
If anything, too broad and vague of a request would be a larger pain in the ass for the workers.

>>127377267
cmon man :(

>>127391193
A lot of these bands/artists are huge famous stadium-filling acts that generate millions of dollars in sales so having all that stuff backstage is probably both the venue and personal staff's job. I was acquaintances with someone who was in a mid-level famous band and they told me on their tours the venue would just provide whatever food and drinks they wanted to backstage and the band had no say

>>127383343
Aquafina water
1 cut up watermelon
Chips & nacho cheese
Fried chicken
5 honeybuns to take home

>>127375068
I'd die from that much alcohol. And he drank that after every show?

>>127375068

also the fact that he cooked a lot of it himself if i remember correctly

There's usually someone responsible for managing both the pyro guys and the M&M guys you know. They're typically called a 'Producer' or 'Manager'. Hope this clears things up for you.

I worked as 'maintenance' at a decent sized venue and we always had to clean out the dressing rooms
there'd be SO MANY beers sometimes, free booze, deli trays with lunch meat/cheese almost every time, veggies and dip
such a great and fun gig

>>127377244
You can also tell by the SEVENTY-TWO liters of Fiji water.
