10 Insane Backstage Demands Made By Musicians
9. Slayer - 50,000 Live Bees And 100 White Goats
It appears as though all bands and musicians are competing for the most insane rider possible. Slayer is doing a pretty good job of putting themselves high up on the list with their crazy number of requests.
Their rider includes a request for 50,000 bees and 100 snow-white goats for slaughter. Luckily there is yet to be a stage manager who makes these two requests happen, but it’s still crazy that they think they can ask for it. Other requests in their rider include yoga ball chairs, lots of Gogurt, a Zamboni with a full tank of petrol, and a human skull. Does it get any more metal than that? We hope not.
Whether they were joking or not when they drew up this rider, it definitely adds to their hardcore metal stage presence. You have to be pretty hardcore to request goats so that you can slaughter them. A Halal butcher was also requested with the goats because they obviously aren't hardcore enough to get their hands dirty.
*No goats were harmed in the making of their rider.
