2008

Along with "2 bottles of fine Italian red wine," Pearl Jam's 2008 tour rider specifies that the band only be served Ethos water (Starbucks owns the brand and contributes a portion of each purchase price to humanitarian water programs worldwide). Eddie Vedder & Co. also enjoy creamy Jif peanut butter, miniature Dove chocolates, Peet's coffee, and a nice magazine assortment. The group also requires "4 cartons Epsom salt," but does not further describe the "medical purposes" for which it is needed. (3 pages)

2003

We don't know what's more troubling: The prospect that Eddie Vedder is blending smoothies in Pearl Jam's dressing room, or that his concert rage might actually be powered by sugary Snickers and Mars bars. Though it is nice to see that the guys offset the effect of those carrots and beets with some Marlboros. (6 pages)

    I'd ask for new underwear and a pair of socks every night.

    Get off stage, throw off the old one and put on the new one and you are good to go.

    "No 35mm still cameras with detachable lenses will be allowed in the venue"

    yeah...I think that rider is quite old. :lol:

    I do like Foo Fighters' rider:

    I always liked the story of the classic Van Halen tour rider, which is the granddaddy of rider stories. They specifically asked, at the end of the rider, for a bowl of M&Ms--with all the brown ones removed--to be on the coffee table in the dressing room at every tour stop. It's often cited as the height of rock star excess and egomania (making some poor assistant hand-pick candy for them), but it served a practical purpose.

    The band was playing so many arena and stadium venues that had little concert experience that they ran the risk of poor stage construction, safety and security measures. The M&Ms were a quick way for them to make sure the venue had gone through all of their siginificant, serious requests--if the brown M&Ms were gone, you knew they'd read all the rider and could count on them to have done everything you asked. If the M&Ms weren't right, you knew it was time for the tour manager to start asking serious questions and get people moving on all the safety issues.

    No beer on stage right side please. Must be for Mikes sobriety. Also noted that they dont want any alcohol in the artists dressing rooms.

    Pretty standard really. Nothing like that hack J Lo and her ridiculous rider.

    I didn't know there were still selling Polaroid film in 2008.
    I also didn't know rock stars (both PJ AND Foo!) loved SOLO cups so much. What am I missing in my life???

    It sounds silly but I am sure they had some idiot get them crappy paper cups in the past. I didnt see anything that was ridiculous. Did notice their taste in wine went up though. 15-20 dollars to 20-40 dollars per bottle.

    Lol, socks for sure. Just bought some new socks. Nothing quite like wearing a fresh pair of socks. :D

    The Rage Against the Machine Rider required socks and underwear.
