    maybe some or all sorabjites have seen this; but since most or all sorabjites are never here, i'm going to post this anyway because i think it's funny.

    I read that a while ago when it was for some reason being hosted on the smoking gun. I thought that was weird.
    I love reading tour riders and this is probably the best one ever :)

    "Maybe we could get somebody to sit next to the LD with a big stick, then if they looked like they were going to "do lighting" halfway through a number - WHAMMO!!! broken desk, broken fingers."

    "Oh God, I wish I'd been alive in those days, so that Bob Hope could have come and entertained me in some World War 2 hell-hole before I went off and got shot. What joy they must have experienced... "

    That guy sounds like an awesome dude.

    if you hang out with him, that means you could potentially hang out with iggy pop and mike watt....

    now that's a party.

    Hey, I stumbled upon the Stooges' rider somewhere else just a few minutes ago, and came here to post it.

    Hey, and looking closely, the version I found is different from the version linked to above. (No aside about Marshall Bass Gear or about guitar roadie Chris, etcetcetc.) Intriguing.

    Anyway, yes, BEHOLD.

    Whoever this man is, I love him.

    The Foo Fighters' rider is pretty funny, as well, and actually references the Stooges' rider, which evidently is legendary.
