Title: Who'm in the band requested Marlboro Lights Post by: ReggieDunbar on April 03, 2011, 03:26:17 AM According to old riders, BB requested marlboro lights and bic lighters (NOT GREEN) backstage...
Makes me curious... Hinsche was/is a frequent smoker... could it be him not having time to buy his own cigg? //RD (http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/release/sites/default/files/imagecache/750x970/documents/beachboys3.gif) Title: Re: Who'm in the band requested Marlboro Lights Post by: The Heartical Don on April 03, 2011, 04:13:48 AM I myself find the 50ft roll Saran Wrap much more interesting.

When you request those amounts of fruit. You might wanna save some for the busride after the show.
But the green BIC lighters.... //RD Title: Re: Who'm in the band requested Marlboro Lights Post by: The Shift on April 03, 2011, 08:27:44 AM Saran wrap is understandable.

(i.e. liquid requirements)
Just for balance (completely off topic I know, if this carries on, may have to start a new one), here's a link to a great rider for a recent Iggy & The Stooges tour : http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/lust-laughs?page=0 Title: Re: Who'm in the band requested Marlboro Lights Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on April 03, 2011, 11:19:20 AM I think this about sums it up...

Title: Re: Who'm in the band requested Marlboro Lights Post by: Pretty Funky on April 03, 2011, 01:44:04 PM I think it has been mentioned here that bands often put in requests, like the lighters, to test that the promoters read the list properly. I think the example used is the band that asked for M n M's, but not red ones or the such.

I think the example used is the band that asked for M n M's, but not red ones or the such. Van Halen wanted absolutely no brown M&M's. And yeah, supposedly the whole point was that they would know if the promoters read the entire thing, because that would show their attention to detail, such as lighting, sound, etc. Title: Re: Who'm in the band requested Marlboro Lights Post by: sherryluvsbrian on April 03, 2011, 03:22:07 PM Saran wrap is understandable.

"That's it. First it was the stars, man. Then that painting about me with all the flowers arranged in that weird pattern, signifyin' somethin'. Then my astrologer told me to watch out for the color green, that it would mean the arrival of a fire in my soul that would consume me! Oh no, man. No! Somebody call Derek Taylor. I'm canning Smile!" "But Brian, you just finished mixing all the vocals for all the tracks?" "I don't care. Y'know, I'm gonna wipe some of them so nobody can hear how Smile was supposed to be!!!" |
