Discussing crazy riders this morning with my sister and the band. Noah mentioned this legendary clause in Van Halen’s rider that there be no brown M&Ms. The Smoking Gun actually dug up the original, which was 53 pages long.
Supposedly, the brown M&M issue was a test to see if people actually read the rider. Other bands have gotten much crazier: Madonna needs new toilet seats, Prince needs everything wrapped in plastic, Iggy Pop wanted seven dwarves and a Bob Hope impersonator, etc.
