Foo Fighters Laugh-Laden Tour Rider Leaks

The Foo Fighters' tour rider has found its way online, and, as expected, Dave Grohl's sense of humor is all over the 26-page document. Sure, Van Halen's legendary stipulation, "No Brown M&Ms" pretty much got the ball rolling three decades ago, and the Stooges' 2007 rider was a total classic, but highlights of the Foo's 2008 backstage tour demands are a pisser as well:

"Selection of cereals -- unopened. Do not recycle from last night's DIO show."

"Every lunch should include a 'Soup of the Day' -- Please try to make it a vegetarian selection. Meaty soups make roadies fart."

"A bunch of lightly cooked chicken breasts with goo on them are not fun, not exciting and definitely not going to get you a hug from our bass player Nate. (He's the real people person, not the guy from Nirvana)."

"Any pre-packaged foodstuffs, such as chips, M&Ms, etc. must remain sealed until opened by a member of the tour entourage. All goods in jars or alike, should be purchased new and unopened at the time of the artist's arrival at the venue. We are just another band trying to make enough money to fuel our private jet. Please help."

"24 large bath towels. If they are new and unwashed, you will receive a wedgie."

The band's demand for beer and cigarette lighters is pretty pedestrian, but what's with the scented candles, fellas?
