Outrageous Concert Riders: No. 25

One of music's greatest inventions is the concert rider, a list of backstage demands that Van Halen's "No Brown M&M's" decree helped promote to high art. Spinner counts down our favorites, spanning everything from bacon to baby oil.

"Assortment of adult magazines (i.e. Penthouse, Playboy, etc.)"
--Guns N' Roses

For the articles, of course. And if you believe that, we've got a 'Chinese Democracy' to sell you, too.

The Van Halen no brown M&Ms got started with me when Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth, and I were talking with him at a Truman Capote party. Stoned out of his mind back at this early 80s gathering, he was agonizing over his difficulties memorizing updated song lyrics onstage before tele-prompters were in vogue, whereby we told him We'd take in exchange a full ounce Glad bag of cocaine for a bag of "smart pills" we'd bring to him the next day.

So, we went to a farmer out in the Miami Everglades who kept rabbits. Here we collected about a half pound of rabbit turds from the bottom of the farmer's bunny hutch taking them to my girlfriend, Maria, who worked in a Cuban candy shop in Coral Gables. She brown sugar-coated the rabbit turds for me before me, Sammy, and Dave gave them to Eddie the next day.

The three of us were splitting a gut laughing our asses off, smirking, and chortleing while Eddie, oblivious as he always is, still didn't get it. He popped a handful of the sugar-coated rabbit turds in his mouth and chewed 'em up swallowing in a forced gulp. Making a screwed up face and sticking out his tongue ("Yalch!") Eddie said, "Man, these goddamn things taste more like rabbit turds than they do smart pills!", whereas, I said, "See Eddie? You're getting smarter already!"

Those magazines were probably as close as any of those losers ever got to a woman.

Give me a break...these guys probably had more women just in the 80's than everyone who commented here, altogether, in their entire lives!

I don't know. Axl dated Stephanie Seymour for a while, and I'm pretty sure she was hot.

Obviously Jim doen't know a thing about being a celebrity. I bet Axl himself banged more girls than all the men in his family tree combined.

These hollywood people don't have a clue that their life on this earth is short and eternity is forever. Their seductive and vain life styles may go the way of Sodom and Gomorrah. For those that don't know what that is - in the bible these two cities were destroyed due to their seductive and amorous ways. Not judging, just commenting

#1 You don't have to scream (all CAPS).

#2 Glad you're a rock & roll stage manager, rather than working in the educational field, or any other career where written communication is important. Had to read your post a couple of times before I could make sense of it - maybe it's the "HONOWEED" - be sure not to over-indulge ;-)

Genius, this is from a tour rider from 1986. And while you were looking at Playboy or Penthouse, they were having sex with the girls in it.
