Projected Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 So GnR are playing in my country in like a month, and the list of Axl's demands for the production crew has been leaked.So I'll just write it out:A personal masseuse and a chiropractor, both having their own rooms in the backstage.9 seperate dressing rooms, each with a personal bath and soaps. Each room also must have a vase with 6 red and 6 white roses.270 towels for the whole band and crew.A gym with all the necessary equipment, including a Power Plate.On the menu:Three options for hot first course and one vegetarian option. The course should come with either rice, potato or risotto.Freshly baked high quality bread, high quality butter, large salad bar with at least 10 types of salads and at least one low fat sauce.Soup, salt, pepper, a bottle of olive oil, balsami sauce, soy sauce, Helmann's mayo, Heinz ketchup, mustard, low fat caramel milk and desert.Thought this might interest someone.

TiedHands Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 High quality butter? Didn't know there was such a thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) High quality butter? Didn't know there was such a thing...Yes there is! I really understand that one. Overall not that worse, so every member of the band has his own dressingroom. Don't know if the bath thing is realizable, but he can try. Lots of food, for lots of people.You know, I really have seen worse demands, even by him in the past. Not that strange IMO.

axlsalinger Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I can't believe that with a food spread backstage, they would have the nerve to demand salt, pepper, ketchup AND mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projected Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well yeah it's not that weird, pretty standard actually. Apart maybe for the roses. Like, does that really matter that much?Metallica were here last year and had much more demands.Madonna was here last weekend and she had a bunch of ridicilous demands like for everything in her room to be white, nobody to look her in the eyes, shit like that.This list is not that greedy. Maybe except for the personal masseuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe except for the personal masseuse.I know they listed Axl Rose and Elton John as the most difficult artists to please and deal with by the Rock in Rio production last year. Didn't see anything weird about that. Billy Joel said Elton's backstage is really elaborate and his is really caveman. I saw the Stones and Madonna setup on past tours - it's like a freaking small city back there - no wonder why the tix are so pricey. Some bands eventually come to the realization that if they cut back on the backstage goodies, it's more money in their pocket. And some of the pics we've seen, they try to dress up the backstage a bit. Personal masseuse - prob. needed it more in the old days, but Brian Wilson had one at an outdoor show and it was kind of public. He also walked around before the show and chatted up the guests. And he's pretty high on the weirdo/reclusive list. I'm sure their backstage setup's pretty elaborate with the reunion and playing bigger venues than normal...

Projected Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 He prob just doesn't want some local cheap shit we have here, but something he knows. I was in Egypt once and drank some local brand mineral water instead of something international, and god help me the diarrhea I had because of that.

Val22 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 So GnR are playing in my country in like a month, and the list of Axl's demands for the production crew has been leaked.So I'll just write it out:A personal masseuse and a chiropractor, both having their own rooms in the backstage.9 seperate dressing rooms, each with a personal bath and soaps.

After the shows these guys do, I"m sure it's great to get your muscles stretched out and massaged. A gym is a great idea too. I don't think these demands are too crazy.
