Let this be a real lesson to an up and coming band. Make your rider hilarious and memorable. Few things are better than a well crafted tour rider, detailing your needs to put on a great show. Few bands can pull off the live show that Iggy Pop and the Stooges do.

I got to page two of this 18 page work of brillance and found this:

2 X Heavy Duty Floor Mounted Fans. So that I can wear a scarf and pretend to be in a Bon Jovi video.

2 X Heavy Duty Straight Cymbal Stands. But we are equal opportunity employers, so gay stands may apply also (They won't get the fucking job, though...)

1 X DW 5000 Bass Drum Pedal. Double Chain type. With a footplate. And a little blue plaque with "William Shakespeare slept here for six months* in 1586. shagging the arse off of Anne Hathaway" (*not the whole six months, obviously. I think they woke him at mealtimes.)

Then there was page three:



Jesus christ that is hilarious. It continues in this stream of consciousness for the rest of the rider. Take a look at it: The Smoking Gun.
