Scott Smith Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 My brother (who works in theatrical lighting) passed this along to me. It is without a doubt the most hilarious contract language I've ever seen-a must read.

Philip Perkins Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 If only the rock tour managers I worked with had this sort of sense of humor. That Iggy Pop rider is one of my all time faves. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 That's great. Thanks Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for posting that. The beauty of this is that I'll bet they stand a better than typical chance of getting exactly what they specify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Feeley Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Wow Crew; It took Iggy a full 70 seconds to remove his shirt. Probably the longest ever... BTW- even in his dotage, he still has it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Ya. That he does. Thanks. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaAudio Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Van Halen weren't being dicks when they put "no brown M&Ms" into their contract rider. The idea was that if brown M&Ms were in the bowl then the promoter probably hadn't read the whole contract and that there would be other things missing or wrong at the gig. Smart.

daniel Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 r A bottle of vodka decent stuff, please. Not made in bloody England. Some people seem to enjoy that Ketel One vodka from Holland. Our sound man, however, says it's piss. And he could give the saxophonist a run for his money, not to mention alcohol. No accounting for taste, though, so a bottle of Ketel One, or failing that, Grey Goose. (Down in one, so to speak, haha). I don't know - do they make alcohol free vodka? In Denmark they have one called Spunk, which tastes of liquorice!! How we laughed. It's not alcohol free though. Charm free, yes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Pert Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 "When we arrive, if there is either a YAMAHA or DIGITAL CONSOLE of any manufacure located on front of house island, I will chop it into a hundred pieces, and each of those pieces I will chop into a hundred pieces... so that's like, er... tenty hundred? Anyway, then I will douse them in petrol and burn them. In accordance with local and national guidelines on the burning of bits of shit mixer, of course." This made me laugh. Hope none of the Yamaha owners are offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Smith Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yeah, loved that comment about the digital consoles...hilarious. --S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Mills Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 This is far from the silliest rider I have seen.. Also, they are not asking for complex stuff at all.. (at this era, I think Iggy's son had recently started as their tour manager, FWIW).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
