Not sure what to make of this. Judging from the tone used by teh source, it seems like I should be outraged or disappointed at Hagar..but I guess I must have missed something. :confused:

What the hell??? :confused:

Man, I wish I could read DLR's

"A midget with a white wig"....

.........and a partridge in a pear tree. :D

Seems pretty straightforward. The only thing that surprises me is all of the words that are incorrectly spelled in the rider.

Spam on the rider?

Ja, spammen! Was ist das scheisen?

Yup. Lots of misspelled words and bad grammar.

Mr. Hagar is a wine connoisseur. He wants china and candles availabe.

Also Mexican beers and Margaretta mix. Dr. Pepper and 7up!

Do they trash the dressing room if the fruit isn't organic?

How fun would it be to be setting out on tour and have to offer your input on what is required for your presence? lol

"Two busty females..20-30 somethings fit and athletic brunettes. Favoring Cindy Crawford if possible guarding a cooler of iced Heineken light and Jack Daniles" A twister mat, 4 gallons of mazola oil, Strobe lights, a lighten disco ball, an organic fruit platter, free range meat sandwich platter, a mechanical bull, leather AND latex catwoman female outfits for 5 females size 5(or 3 small 2 medium) and access to a private shower".

Yup. Lots of misspelled words and bad grammar.

Indeed...I would fire whatever jackass wrote this thing:

"make sure the physician is experienced with treading children"
"no substitute acceptical"
"instamatic cameras are expectable"

And I really like how the promoter is supposed to provide the Cabo Wabo tequila. You mean Sammy doesnt carry his own supply? Or is this just a way to make the promoter put a few more bucks in Sammy's pocket?

smoking gun tends to take that attitude with all their little bits about tour riders, regardless of the artist. I've yet to see anything on any of the riders I read that makes me think "fucking primma donnas!" It's all pretty straight forward reasonable requests given the circumstances....other than the occasional brown m&m deal. But even that, is more of a joke than anything else.

You obviously didnt see JayZ's rider, where the promoter is supposed to provide a MAYBACH (either the 57 or 62 model) with tinted windows, 2 $300 bottles of champagne, and 2 $200 bottles of wine.
And JayZ also requires "good quality peanut butter and jelly"..guess he wasnes down the PB&J with 200-dollar Italian wine. Livin large! :thumb:

nope...missed that one. hahaha...

Mr. Hagar is a wine connoisseur.

I found that to be quite funny actually.

Back a few years, my band supported an old ska band from the 70's/early 80's, well past it but still playing. The stuff they requested was mainly alcohol. All wanted stuff in the dressing room and drinks set up on stage. The bass player had a whole bottle of brandy, just for stage use.

They were a miserable bunch of alcoholics. I thought my band drank but the amount that some of these touring bands put away is just mental.

I did session for a country and western band as well. The band leader had worked with Albert Lee, Joan Armatrading and others I've forgotten. He was a real road dog and he told me some stories about life on the road in the 70's and 80's. I have no idea how the guy was still alive. He didn't look great though.

I've read a few of these before and I don't think it's all that bad. It looks after Hagar, his band, family and crew.

The grammer looks more like quantities have been altered a few times, but not the actual wording.

That was posted a couple of years ago over at Sam's place. Pretty accurate and rather low-key compared to some tour riders I have seen. There are some real diva's out there, both female and male when it comes to these riders

Even though this was revived by a tool who was spamming, it belongs in the Red Rocker forum.

Interesting to read that, especially since I was THROWN OUT of a 1991 Van Halen concert for throwing a banner on stage, right at the opening drill to Poundcake. I threw the banner on stage, and a security gaurd wrapped his arms around me. Perhaps there was no rider back then, or if there was, perhaps my window to sue the Providence Civic Center is still open? :)

Anyway, the end of the story is, I bought another ticket from a scalper for the WHOPPING (sarcasm) price of $40. The show had just started, so I'm sure I got a deal. I got back to my original seat by the time Poundcake (the first song) ended. The forth song was When It's Love. Sam went over, picked up my banner, which was a bed sheet, and sang the entire song shrouded in my banner. After the song, he unveiled it to the auidence. It read, "Happy Birthday Sammy (with the I Can't Drive 55 symbol). Eat Some Pouncake." I was ecstatic.

That's a great story!
