Outrageous Concert Riders: No. 2

"All items in dressing room must be covered by clear plastic wrap until uncovered by main artist. This is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY." --Prince

The Purple One, referred to as the "Main Artist" throughout this rider, takes 'Let's Go Crazy' to another level with this germophobic request.

SAW HIS CONCERT, WOW HE SANG ONLY PLAYING THE GUITAR FOR 30 MINUTES, THE WHOLE CONCERT WAS SO GREAT. LET ME SEE YOU DO WHAT HE DOES AT 50 AND KEEPS ON GOING. AND
I DONT BLAME HIM FOR WRAPPING EVERYTHING, OTHER WISE YOU
DONT KNOW WHATS BEEN IN OR ON IT. GET A LIFE AND QUIT BEING JEALOUS. LEAVE PRINCE ALONE.

here's another opportunist. the record company that signed him, and gave him over 100 million up front, and wanted him to write a few hit songs, and he didn't do anything. he has no talent. he just has a weird persona, and how did he make it so big. he hasn't had onee hit since the 1980's

#9 is that comment necessary? He is still Prince, loved by many and you are just #9 on some forum.

A crack oil machine atomizes mineral oil to produce a haze. Used so you can see all the beams of concert light.

i can see this, as i am a germ phobe, too (it's called verminophobia) so many nasty, hacking, snotty, unhealthy, unwashed hands, gross people out there- i totally don't blame him. plus- been to several concerts, been a 'fam' for 24 years... when he performs, he goes all night (concert and then the after parties which can go until dawn). he HAS to be healthy.

stop hating. what would YOU ask for in your rider???

I'm surprised he didn't ask for an extra pair of high heels. The capital letters in his rider are almost as tall as him.
