GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ What Would Your Rider Be ?

Posted by: Ben Higgins Jul 15 2011, 09:26 AM

Gabriel's post about http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=39830 got me thinking about riders. What is a rider ? A rider is the name given to an artist or band's list of demands.. for example, what food or drink they want at the venue, what special requirements they may have etc...

So, what would your rider have on it ? What would you like to have at your disposal before you hit the stage ?

Sacrificial virgins! wink.gif Really I don't know, I think I don't need anything special. Just give me normal food so I won't be hungry, normal sleeping place so I can sleep, and a roof over my head so I won't be ill:)

Somebody had to say it ! laugh.gif

I guess I should also start with my additions to this thread..

Plenty of bottled water, tea/coffee making facilities, fruit juice, beer (for after the show)

Pasties or pies. I guess that's it laugh.gif

Oh, and a games console of some description ! cool.gif

Then he puts a bottle of babypowder on top of it....how rock n roll is that... laugh.gif

But then again it works...

Enough time to warm up properly, peace and quiet included.

I dont gig now. Back in the day, we were'nt so big that we could demand anythin.

But if I had the option, I would ask for an electrolyte based drink & chocolates during the set and some beers & GOOD food afterwards.

If I gig'd now though, and if i try to do the shananigans that I used to do on stage, I'd f@##N need an oxygen tank.

I always carry around with me what I need, but it would be good to get at least some food and drink. I don't mind a burger and a coke/beer, so.. smile.gif

I don't know what I would want. That is a hard question. I guess it's because I've never been in that situation. I guess it would be peace inside from shaking out of nervousness. biggrin.gif
