If I could think of a great rider to have, if I was doing a nice big gig, it would be 100 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Chocolate Milk. MMMM.

What would/do you guys have?

Iggy Pop has the best rider ever. Definitely good for a laugh...

As for myself, if the electrical outlets on stage are grounded, if the bar gives me a couple of free drinks, and if the manager pays me at the end of the night I'm happy. :D

I liked Van Halen's (I think it was Van Halen's). David Lee Roth would want a bowlful of m&ms and all the brown ones taken out. The reason he did this was because if they followed this stupid rule, they would have done the other things right as well.

Years ago when I was in a short lived band, we had a (free) gig at some bar. The owner finally broke down and said we could eat on the house IF we kept it to one item and NO BEER so DON'T EVEN ASK! We ordered and went on for the first set, supposing our food might be delivered during the break.

Nope ... waitress comes waltzing up on stage right in the middle of a song and yells over all of us (drummer included), "WHICH ONE OF YOU GUYS HAS THE CHEESEBURG?" We stopped, totally stunned and the audience appeared to be equally stunned. And the worst is, it was really some guy in the back of the room who finally sort of half stood up and timidly said "I think it was my girlfriend Miss. She'll be out of the bathroom in a minute if you want to ask her."

Er, yep ... so ever since, I've always been fond of at least the though of a cheeseburger before going on. Though in reality, I'd be more prone these days to just some sparkling water and a tuna sandwich.

The "band" I am in got tired of people we know constantly asking us to play these keggers where people always ask us to play crap we don't even play, then fights break out and the cops show up (if your lucky...lol), so we just started telling people we won't do it unless we get $500 and 4 cases of beer...The offers have since stopped...and we are glad cause the few times we have played, we explain that we don't do covers, then 5 minutes after we start playing, people would start to request stuff, then request stuff that is nowhere near what we play...then a fight breaks out and/or an intoxicated bass player knocks over an amp or something...so we haven't played out in about a year now...
