The Pagemeister Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 MAY 13--We're not sure who authored the Foo Fighters 2008 tour rider--frontman Dave Grohl, the production manager, a witty roadie--but whoever is responsible for the document deserves much praise. The rider, an excerpt from which you'll find below, is filled with jokes about flatulence, fat roadies, leftovers from "last night's Dio show," and the provision of "big ass kielbasas that make men self conscious." While we've used red arrows to point out some of our favorite lines, a close read of the rider is suggested, since we've surely missed a few jokes.

King of the Hill People Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 That's some pretty funny stuff. Wish I could go on tour, oh well, back to the band room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hehe, I love that site for looking at what some bands request...Metallica's is absolutely absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJD Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The reason bands put stupid things in their riders like the famous "jar of 1,000 brown M&M's" is so the tour manager knows that somebody from the promoters office is actually reading the contract and paying attention to the details. If they get the little absurd details right chances are pretty good that the promoter has filed for all the proper permits, insurance, etc. It's a cheap, quick and easy way to give the promoter a pop quiz.
