Performance riders discussion thread

I gotta see the one for Diana Ross - show me, please

Wooden hangers and no Coke sure sounds like Joan...

Look at that hag Steve Nicks, and tell me that Dionne Warwick is a CUNTPIG??

Wasn't J-Lo's posted on here years ago?

As I recall, it had lots of demands.

Honey, we all know what Stevie really wanted whenever she performed.

R5, Her demands are FAR MORE than Dee-Dee's!

Dee Dee's?

Oh shit! Dionne's!

Dee Dee is a DEMON.

Stevie wants Remy Martin AND lighting operators that speak English, thank you.

R5 I remember Joni Mitchell saying that she (Joni) and the band were paid in cocaine back in the '70s.

[Quote] Dee Dee is a DEMON.

Not according to Robyn Crawford.

R9- THANK YOU, BITCH-

I READ those riders night and day!

Stevie is a bitch. Dionne is SMALL potatoes!

Boy George wants his lager, bitches.

[Quote] I READ those riders night and day!

Give us some good examples, please.

Only SIX ashtrays?

Has Dionne cut back?

Joni ain't cheap.

Here is an index:

Adele demands that everyone cough up $20 in cash to her charity if they want to pick up their tickets.

How is that even legal?

Steve Allen required "Grecian Formula (creme not dry)" as well as a mix of "Fanciful Rinse by Roux" and "Black Rage by Roux."

Remember to use a "1-stroke motion" when massaging the hairpiece, please.

Steve Allen is telling you NOW so he doesn't have to tell you THEN!

For his wig?

Bwahaha

Thank you MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!

Dionne's rider screams BASIC BITCH.

"Black Rage by Roux." Steve Allen was gangsta...

Let’s leave Stevie out of this.

R23- You can't HIDE the TRUTH of Stephanie.

Its all DERE in BLACK AND WHITE, CHILE.

Ms. Warwitch ALREADY looks like an ANGEL, thanks to old GOAT VOICE, STEVIE!!!

AKA, STINKY NIBS.

Stevie Nicks required "four vagina bones of various sizes" for kicking.

She kicked a girl in the cunt bone, you know.

R25, Would you EVEN believe me if I told you that I am the Vagina Bone Kicking Witness and victim 10 years later?

Would you?

Despite many Macbook's dying and many moves from house to house, could I even prove to you, that I CREATED and EXPERIENCED my dear daughter's vagina bone COLLAPSING when Stevie kicked and shattered it???

When my daughter and I only wanted to tell Stevie how much she meant to us- She and her music???

And those platform boots SHATTERING my daughters V-BONE??

My daughter is ONE FOOT lower in height due to her pelvic collapse!!!

[quote] Hi Stevie: My daughter and I have been fans of your for years. Your music soothes our souls. During your last tour you were coming out to your limo after the show and my daughter told you that she loved you and politely asked you for your autograph. You then said "Go fuck yourself" and kicked my little girl right in the cunt and broke her vagina bone. All she wanted was your autograph! It took me years to write you about this. We still love you and forgive you.

Fuck r17, now I will waste time reading these bitches riders

Most of the divas requires pretty much the same things.

Rihanna seems to be the most particular about the dressing rooms furnishings.

Please post hightlights here.

R28... That is ME! Was that 2011 or so?

My daughter and I have been through ENOUGH.

The Vagina Bone COLLAPSE destroyed our family AND entire community!!!!!!!!

God I wish trolldar extended back to that time, so you could know that it is us. The original Vagina Bone Collapse Family of 2011, 2012, or SO. I know longer remember, my darlings.

Our therapist told us to BLOCK IT OUT!

R31 Yes, 2011 - wow, almost 10 years ago!

R32, I was a NUBILE young thing just LIVING LIFE in the midst of the aftermath of the recession when my daughter's vagina (she now calls it her hidden shame) was DECIMATED by that chunky platform BOOT!!!

I can still remember it, as clear as day! "Stevie! Your music has HEALED OUR SOULS." Would you sign your autograph!!??

And then the "FUCK YOU!!" And the KICK!! The scream!!! The limo- SCREECHING OFF INTO THE NIGHT!!!!

FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU, LADY!!!

I didn't even know there was a cunt bone before that. I was forced into an adult understanding of the world!

And now Dionne Warwick would be lucky she even got a dressing room. They'd give her a broom closet with a mirror and tell her the toilet is down the hall.

[Quote] And now Dionne Warwick would be lucky she even got a dressing room.

Not true at all.

Various riders

R34- YOU are a BLESSING!!!

Here is a list of links to riders (various celebrities) from The Smoking Gun.

I would watch the shit out of an entire tv series dedicated to setting up celebrity backstage riders. Will the staff be able to fulfill every crazy request? Will the artist be satisfied with the results? Stay tuned!

C'mon, HGTV, make this happen.

Beyonce's rider is pretty standard for a star of her magnitude, with the exception of juicy, heavily seasoned, baked chicken. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when she tastes each venue's chicken to see if it meets her seasoning standards!

True. She'd be lucky to even get a gig.

Christina Aguilera -- Flintstones Chewable Vitamins. When I was an intern for MTV back in 2006, there was a special event with The Dixie Chicks. The Chicks' rider specifically stated they had to have a black SUV to pick them up from the hotel. They also wanted a lot of fresh seasonal fruit, and Peet's coffee.

That rider actually seems pretty normal next to the others I've been reading.

Why black? Would Natalie not get into a white SUV?

I've seen a few riders for big stars that simply asked the venue to provide nothing specific, but to stock the dressing room with things that would add to the comfort of the star and enable them to entertain guests. Those are the stars I admire far more than these power mad fools who so desperately need to demand idiotic things be provided for them.

Frankly, a law should be enacted that would prevent any performer from demanding full payment before they perform. I can see them wanting some sort of guarantee they will be paid, but that could be attained by requiring the venue to place the money in an account managed by a 3rd party who could release it after the performance. I've read of several instances of performers who got paid, never showed up for whatever reason, and refused to return the money.

Like who?

Why don't these picky performers just bring their own damn crackers if they want a particular brand or some particular brand of champagne?

Most of these seem reasonable as they know they almost always have some people come backstage after the performance. Some may be media, station owners, fans or friends.

It's good to know that you have the standard stuff at each stop so you don't have to think about it.

What the hell is this grocery store deli shit?!

[quote] did Joan Crawford write this for her???!!!????)

Well since it doesn't say NO WIRE HANGERS, I would assume, NO.

Assholes can't take a joke.

The "Secret Ride" I use is more re-vealing.

All these posts, and some even mentioning St. Joan, and nobody linked to this? You bitches are slipping.

A 21inch (color) tv, when was this rider written the 1970s?
