Perhaps the best rider we've seen belongs to Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters. The highlights are hilarious and multitudinous: "Selection of cereals, unopened, do not recycle from last night's Dio show." "Every lunch should include a soup of the day please try to make it a vegetarian selection, meaty soups make roadies fart." "Please have signs visibly posted from crew entrance to catering prior to our arrival. Fat roadies have to eat immediately so they can begin their arduous 70 90 minute workday!!" "Daily meal suggestions: Friday Pasta/Italian food dishes by pasta we do not mean spaghetti soup as your town already has a homeless shelter we live out of our suitcases for goodness sakes." "Any effort to make the dressing room comfy and sexy is much appreciated. We like to lounge about and convalesce in the dressing room, so feel free to shoplift some cool Ikea furniture." We hope you have enjoyed our selections. If we've missed any that you think are more deserving please let us know in the comment section below.
