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.

Correction... Van Halen put "No brown M&M's in contract to prove that the promoters didn't read the contract and were in violation if the browns were in it. It was rebelion for promoters charging them for "damageing" things or other B.S,.

I lived in SoCal during the early 80's & hung out with Tracy Guns, Axl Rose & Duff "Rose" Kagan (The original main lineup of "Guns & Roses")I was working as session guitarist for Asylum records at the time. I was asked if I'd be interested in joining, Tracy has a fairly decent voice, but the first time I heard Axl break into one of his screeching solos I made the ill timed remark that his singing voice sounded like a cross between to Siamese in heat & a cat being castrated without any anesthesia. Needless to say I was ordered to leave Tracy's place, not by Tracy, but by the little pissant Axl, who almost got his scrawny screeching ass stomped by me. I have no regrets that I was never a part of the band as I probably would have been rendered insane by having to listen to that hideous sound on a constant basis. Besides, Heroin was never my thing & you notice that Tracy left in order to pursue his own group "L.A. Guns" which was to me, a far tighter group. I don't really dislike Axl personally, but my opinion on the lack of any redeeming features with his supposed singing voice still remains.

I actually took the time to read all of these pitiful comments. The funny thing is, mostly all of these so-called "stars" have miserable lives, have been shot, married a jillion times. How dare any of these pions compare themselves to Jesus Christ. He pulls out the rug from under us all at the right time... it's just a matter of time for the arrogance...

You are reading way too into this "article". Who is comparing themselves to Jesus? Stop shoving your religion down people's throats, its not Christ-like to do so. Turn the other cheek.

If America was not at war we would be debating the issue of legalizing public nudity.

Carlos is full of himself, the closest he has gotten to a rock star is looking at a magazine! And Chuck needs to learn how to spell! I guess it shows you don;t have to be educated to be in the "business"

THE MORE I THINK ABOUT THE OUTRAGEOUS DEMANDS, THE MORE I AM SURE THAT I WILL NEVER BUY THEIR CD'S OR SEE THEIR MOVIES.
IT PROVES YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT OF THE TRAILER PARK BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE TRAILER TRASH OUT OF THEM.

By golly, Cher should have had a room for her wigs.
One with a hopper and a dirty wash basin.
As a matter of fact, that should have been her entire dressing room!!
