Foo Fighters rider leaks
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 16 June 2011
Following the publication of Katy Perry’s slightly dubious rider, The Smoking Gun has got its hands on another one, albeit one that’s knowingly funny. Actually, the Foo Fighters’ rider even makes reference to The Smoking Gun in its pages.
By page two, the document has already announced that the provision of the wrong type of water will result in “the worst, most violent display of hatred and dispassionate agony since Rodney King got his Hyundai up to 115 miles an hour” and warns that when it comes to food “rock stars love flavour almost as much as they love talking to themselves”. It also states that fans should not be allowed to bring garden gnomes into the venue.

But it doesn’t end there. The rider’s pièce de résistance is the ‘Catering visual enhancements and activities’ section, which provides information on how the band and their crew like their food to be prepared, in the form of activities such as colouring in and a wordsearch. See it in all its patronising glory here.
