Thank God Dr May dont have any m&m-related request! Also, one of the things that I found interesting is that both Roger and Adam have a very, very basic (almost minimal) rider... |
BelfastQueenFan 17.08.2014 20:52 |
Wow...they really don't like Desani. Or Pepsi for that matter. Adam lambert with energy bars and drinks. Yet he barely has any energy on stage. Go figure. |
GERRYISADICK 17.08.2014 20:54 |
Roger seems to like his vodka |
GERRYISADICK 17.08.2014 20:56 |
And pretty much booze in general |

Surprised not to see several saved badgers in Brian's rider... |
Martin Packer 18.08.2014 02:20 |
There might be something up with Pepsico. But then there was that WWRY thing a while back... :-) |

Diva? You guys clearly haven't seen David Copperfield's rider. What you see here is pretty standard. As a professional musician myself, I'm very sad to see that this has been made public. This absolutely should not have been posted wherever it was originally posted. |

i agree with The Real Wizard. Some of the riders belonging to the real Diva's of this world, and a lot of rappers too, make Queen's look like a small shopping list. A few things you need to remember are. When youre touring and spending long priods away from home the dressing room, or chill out area back stage is the one place where you can have some of the comforts of home, and things you are used too. I know for a fact that during their time at a venue, both RT and, BM will have a steady stream of visitors, family, friends or associates from within the business. So much of what is listed will be consumed by people other than the artist. Tradition also plays a part in this, in that what ever is left usually ends up on the crew bus. The other thing to remember, as pointed out by Mr Wizard, a dressing room rider is meant to be private, and at the end of the day the cost of it comes out of the tour expence budget so is still paid for by the artist in the long run. Maybe the people on here who are quick to accuse BM of being a Diva should post their weekly shopping list! |

Stories about Madonna's forniture, or Barbra Streisand requesting a police team to find any possible explosive devices are public and even artists talk about it. I agree that this rider is very basic, as I already posted, but still Im surprised by the difference between Brian and Roger's/Adam's rider. |

What I find most interesting about these lists is that the rest of the band only get water, fruit and peanuts. Is that actually their wish, do they hang around in the other dressing rooms, or is that extra $100 saved just so they can pay a bit more to Brian and Roger? :P |
winterspelt 18.08.2014 10:38 |
If they keep their "tradition" sharing a common place for the whole band, just like they did in the old days, perhaps they share some stuff. |

Very decent riders if you ask me. Nothing diva like. Look at Axl's rider, there you see a Diva... Brians rider contains lots of healthy items. Funny to see there are some non-vegan items on it as well. Might be for family/friends/guests. Although I liked reading the riders, not being a professional musician myself, I think it's a shame these ended up on the internet... ;) |

It wouldn't surprise me if they even have to pay for the items on their rider. |

I see that Brian has to have Coke not Pepsi...well I guess i'll just have to live with it... |
brunogorski 18.08.2014 14:03 |
So basically, don't even offer them Pepsi. LoL |

I agree that these things should not be made public; however having said that, there is nothing controversial in any of that, and it's all pretty straight forward and nothing embarrassing - might have been a different stories if there was anything 'Spinal Tap' esque there. As others have said, their visitors, the rest of the band (Spike, Neil, Rufus), plus the road crew would most likely be consuming a lot of that (unless Roger has started to drink from 8 different glasses, cups etc!!) |

Well it wasn't too long ago that we were shown Brian's toilet. So I guess nothing is sacred anymore. |

Oh yes "Hello toilet" |

But if something is on the rider, the hired gun definitely does not pay for it. Unless you're in Bon Jovi. Pretty boy signs the cheques and runs the business even though it appears to be a collective. It isn't. Never mind the hired guns - Tico and Dave have been in the band for 30 years and their flights are deducted from their cheque. Seriously. I wish I was making it up. |

The promoters pay for the Riders....... venue rental, advertising, backline rentals, accommodation for the band, the rider, and the payment for the band....are all traditionally paid by the promoter. ---------------------------------- member since 10/20/2007 |

After AL i became a fan of Paul Rogers, comparing to AL, PR is a genius singer. |
