I like Mr. Scruff has pointed out that the talking cat should not be a girl called Kat/Cat. Some cheeky bastard had figured that one out earlier in the tour and they had to amend shit

Bloody hell, Mr Scruff's a bit demanding. How many people paid in, Jizzy? MTS' most heinous demand was that they be allowed to play.

bout 500 payin in. All in all even tho it made a profit it wasnt massive and nowhere near worth the amount of work that went into it. Those months were my foray into 'big names' and it just didnt cut the mustard! | |

Yeah, sounds like an awful lot of effort.

Kenny didn't supply our rider demands, I have no problem stealing from the headlining band. Survival is the rule of the road. If the beer and food is getting left behind, I'm hardly gonna run up to them and give it back. | |

Al | I'm sure it's either Popbitch or Holy Moly that said as soon as 'Fruit and Flowers' appears on the list, it's less than legal. | |

One of the best ones I saw was a downloadable pdf. of Metallica's requirements for a tour a couple of years back, you've no idea how many ridiculous requests were contained in it.
Managed to find it here in all it's glory though: Check it from about page 6 onwards. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/backsta...etallica1.html | |

Things like "BACON MUST BE AVAILABLE AT EVERY MEAL THROUGHOUT THE DAY!" The sheer ammount of food that they require is amazing, they must be travelling with a small country of an entourage.
But yeah, not so much ridiculous I suppose given the size of the band, true, I suppose I never realised just how much a band that big requires, makes you feel great when you travel for a show half way accross the country to be greeted by half a case of warm Carling, haha  | |
