God of Thunder Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 That is so ridiculous if true. Unbeliavable!Well considering other bands requests that seems to be quite modest...the bear shaped honey is funny though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVesper Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 This is far from extravagant, it's just food people. Of course he'll ask for his favourite stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I've never understood all these ridiculous band requests. Sure ask for a helluva lot of alcohol + food. A few comfy softas and that'll about do.Don't really see the need for most of the other stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few comfy softas and that'll about do.Don't really see the need for most of the other stuff It's no different than catering for a party or an event. I have to get that set up on a regular basis and you do provide a list of what you want.And I suspect the bear honey is because someone uses it for sweetener instead of sugar. And that's the best honey for that. Edited September 6, 2010 by Orsys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If It was me I'd ask for my favourite drinks and food but it's the minute things like the roses especially the specifity in the number.Just gimme something comfortable to sit on with a few of my favourite snacks and drinks all laid out and that'll do.

highvoltage Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It fails to mention that backstage guests are all allowed to drink the booze and eat the food. - and there's a lot of people allowed back there....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunsNRevolvers2 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Iggy Pop's food and dressing room rider alone is like 5 pages! And here we are saying Axl is extravagent haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrie Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Iggy Pop's food and dressing room rider alone is like 5 pages! And here we are saying Axl is extravagent haha!Grolsh and Budvar (Czechvar) are actually pretty decent beers. And yeah, overall that's not too crazy of a list. Considering it's not just Axl but the entire band which is basically 8 people, plus whoever else they let snack, and when you really think about, that's 6 of each beer, a few bottles of booze, some snacks, condiments, drapes, flowers, and some food... given what these shows bring in? No big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakestar Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) u guys never seen bear shaped honeys before?AFTER i drink enough beer.....they ALL look like honey's. (just a play on words people i know it says 'bear')seriously....who cares. once when I was at the "back" some venue lacky was bitchin' cuz Axl wanted green seedless grapes.......seriously who cares.....go to the store and get them....not exactly an exotic request. most of that request list (IF true) sounds to be:1) healthy options2) typical things you'd have on hand for guests (booze, snacks, etc)......whenever people meet him in public or otherwise he seems gracious. no reason to think he would not be good host.

rockerman Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I've never understood all these ridiculous band requests. Sure ask for a helluva lot of alcohol + food. A few comfy softas and that'll about do.Don't really see the need for most of the other stuff Van Halen..specifically David Lee Roth said it was to make sure they kept on thier toes and respected the contract. I think it was somethinglike green m&m's that had to be picked out of the bowl or the band would not be obligated to play. some goofy shit like that.

tkarmy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Aside from the roses and steak its not that crazy for the whole band... if that was just axl... that might be a bit much.My buddy was house system tech for GWAR a few years ago and there rider was WAY more crazy.. 8 jars of crutchy peanut butter, 8 jars of smuckers jam, 20 local meals of a 'high quality' etc etc.... and they are a 500 seat club band... it was over the top!! GNR's is pretty light comparatively.The think I never understood though is.... if you make all these ridiculous requests the promoter will only deduct it from your total bill.... wouldn't it just be easier to eat before you come and if your hungry after the show take off and order a pizza?? I mean I get wanting a couch, some tequila, some beer... to chill out with afterwards but sometimes I think it gets a bit ridiculous.. I'd just get ask for more cash and eat where I wanted and head back to the hotel after the show rather than demand 'this tapestry" or roeses... but hey axl can do what he wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
