Posted by WarriorPoet415, Thu Mar-12-15 10:20 AM
We've all heard the stories of artists demanding a brown Playstation 1 and a bowl of nothing but green M&M's right?

So let's say you're the hottest sensation. List 10-20 things the venue/promoter MUST have in your dressing room or you'll walk off in a diva-like huff...

Me, ain't no show if I ain't got:

1. A VHS copy of the first Muppet movie
2. 2.5 lbs of Twizzlers
3. A microwave and Stouffers mac and cheese (LORD HELP YOU IF IT'S NOT STOUFFER'S)
4. One plum floating in perfume in a tophat.
5. Three bottles of Pappy Van Winkle
6. Two flat screen 4K TV's
7. 7 bags of spinach
8. A book of matches
9. one case of Fiji water
10. Tattoo artist on call. (not for me though, I have none)

12749230, About the VanHalen M&M thing: It wasn't diva shit
Posted by John Forte, Thu Mar-12-15 10:23 AM
VanHalen had one of the most elaborate productions touring at the time. Crazy lights, pyrotechnics, wire harnesses and shit. They tossed the bowl of m&ms with the brown (or green, I can't remember) ones removed so they could easily check how well the venue adhered to the details. Walk in, and the M&Ms are wrong, you know you have to double-check EVERYTHING.
