There was a thread about this before - Foo Fighter's one was pretty funny if I remember rightly.

Mercury Tilt Switch have made the most outrageous demands of any band I've ever put on.

Clarence Clemons (the Bigman) from the E street band demands a half roasted chicken at 9.30 at each show.
All I want is a pint that doesn't taste of piss. | |

Damn, I only opened this thread to post that.
The smell of that chicken is what gives him the strength to get through the rest of the show.

Sadly it isn't on there but I recall reading in the newspaper Robbie William's requests for a gig up here which included a signed and framed picture of Bob Holness, a woman's dress and lingerie suitable for Carol Vorderman and a monkey.
There was more but the idea of making it "suitable for Carol Vorderman" still cracks me up.
He also asks for a copy of Football Manager at every gig INCASE he loses his own copy between shows. That was on the Football Manager website tho'.

Who knew Amy Winehouse was so against Stella & Carling. Good call on the pizzas though.
Yes, I only looked to see if she requested smack. | |

For obvious reasons you can't ask for stuff like that in an official document, but I've seen "please advise on the availability of 'specialist' catering items" or similar a few times..

Know of a band who wanted some sniff and some whores before.
Stealing other bands rider stuff is where it's at.
A real mans rider.
