Inconsistent use of apostrophes coupled with accent over "entrée": hardcore.

I want to be part of their ENTEROURAGE

"...or we could just go down the street for some chow, whatevs."

The best part about this rider is that it hasn't been banned by Saks for shoplifting.

I think I just became a foo fighters fan, and am going to start sending out similar riders every time I travel.

Specificity is so fucking hot.

Did they mean "genius" of the tater tot? Because the tater tot is genius.

I wish I was rich famous and in a position to demand riders.

They sound pretty low-maintenance really. I wonder what someone like Marlon Brano has for riders.

@SnarkTwain: Hilarious.

All I want is a little respect. And some pimento loaf.

@HamptonShmampton: Being resurrected is probably number one on his list.

Food Fighters

@lawyergay: I think they are refering to genus as in the type of cafeteria cooking that includes tator tots regularly as menu items.

@Sarcastro: Which stuio could afford that?!

And who is Claire Van Herck and why does she like prime rib so much? She sounds like my kind of girl. Incidentally, I had prime rib for lunch today for only seven bucks! mmmm!

*studio

We'd also like a velveteen rabbit, with BOTH button eyes sewn FIRMLY on the bunny head or else else we will cause an APOCALYPTIC temper tantrum with WATERWORKS only previously seen at NIAGRA FALLS.

I'd like to vote for one of these fellas instead of the Stipsters posted earlier.
And I am currently getting my Enterourage together for my next tour and prepping my rider.

No, no, no, no this....look, look, look, there's a little problem with the...look this, this miniature bread. It's like...I've been working with this now for about half an hour.

Take no shit and shit shall not be piled upon you. I like these guys.

I love that it's so tongue-in-cheek that it's completely serious. Or something.

I want a big-ass kielbasa and I want it now!

This is like the time Dave Grohl stabbed me with a spork.

@Mike_Jahn: It sounds more like they are talking from experience.

@HamptonShmampton: You're right. It still reads well, though.

Any sort of tubed meats.

They're touring with 78 people? Concert tickets should be even more expensive.

(On the other hand, that seems kind of excessive when all I want to hear is the acoustic version of "Everlong.")

Wow, and I thought David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were demanding.

Iggy Pop has a great list of concert demands on Smoking Gun, too.

"Island after island of chicken boobs..." conveys the tedium of touring better than anything I've ever heard.

"Bacon in any form"? How about raw?

I wouldn't want Ronny James Dio's cereal leftovers either

Aw, this isn't that specific. For example, they didn't specify "NO Nitrates" in the big-ass sausages.

And they didn't demand only grass-fed beef in the meat loaf. I'd say these guys are pretty laid back.

My rider would be much, MUCH stricter.

Someone in Tom Petty's enterourage is lactose intolerant.

They're certainly right about bacon.

I'd sit through one of their shows just to get backstage and neck deep in some fucking tubed meat.

Hmmm . . . casings.

@thatsrealbutter: i mean RonnIE

I feel the same way about bacon, Dave.
Butter up that bacon!
bacon up that sausage!

they seem to feel rather strongly about solo cups. i would LOVE to hear about a venue that offered dixie cups instead.

Goddamn, I love Dave Grohl. I'd take a bite of his tubed meat.

This is why I only gig at one restaurant. They know how I like things.

@Clare: Grohl is the best. But like most guys, he probably has a no teeth policy.

Oh! Em! Gee!
They so had me at "tubed meats"!!
I, too, love the tubed meats!

@lawyergay: Agreed on the genius. But I think "genus" actually does work there, too, no?

That was great. Truly, all bands should be this cool about their "demands."

@lawyergay: p.s. Normally, I do read ahead... Sigh.

Totally love the tounge-in-cheek, yet serious wording also.

Also, this made me hungry.

I'm going to lunch in 26 minutes ;-)

These are the most beautiful song lyrics ever.

Well, I know that I will be throwing on stage when they are here in July. My panties, some Solo cups, and tubed meat. Reminds me of the time I went to see Earth, Wind and Fire ...

I want to marry all of them. I think youtube has their interview on The Hour, which was hilarious.

These guys are awesome. I love that this isn't really douchy at all, but completely justifiable requests (demands?) in a hilariously phrased memo.

Get them their tubed meats!

I love how rich/famous people who have other people cater to them are just shocked, shocked! when those who do the catering, and get paid a whole 8$ an hour for doing so, aren't invested mind, body, and soul in the procurment of a specific kind of plastic cup.

"Oh, sorry, Dave Grohl, I couldn't get red Solo cups, because I had to leave early to go sit in the ER with my ear infected to kid because I don't have health insurance."

I now hate the Foo Fighters. This isn't hard because they suck. Actually, they have always sucked.

Also, Gawker Commenters, WTF? This is not funny, or cute, or clever, or any of that. This is a bunch of bitchy primadonnas demanding to be pampered. We should be skewering these bastards, not giggling at their quirkiness. :(

@In Other News...: is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best ice cubes?

@PickleTitsTurner: There goes my hero.

@PickleTitsTurner: Yes, but it's not the band's fault that the caterers aren't paid well (if indeed that's even the case). These guys are shuttled in and out of different-but-interchangeably awful, musty, underground concrete stadium-bunkers every night for months or even years on end, and all they want is decent food and their favorite, widely-available brand of plastic cup?

Doesn't seem like much to ask.
