I'm not exactly sure where the poor runner would have to go in order to procure absinthe, as I'm pretty sure it's completely illegal...

Of course, if he's asking for crack in his butter then who knows...

I'd be hard pressed to find a single rider that used a spellcheck.
Maybe he wanted two of his bottles to be absent.

Why should it be surprising that she rents all her gear? It's not like she's a musician.

She's not a singer either.

You might want to read the Peter Gabriel rider, from that same site:

Peter Gabriel Rider (page 3)

I think the detailed description of Peter's massage requirements is somewhat interesting. Is he asking for what it sounds like he's asking for?

yeah it sounds a little suspect..

"They must be at the venue at 5PM (NO LATER) with their own table and be ready to DO peter at 6:20 for 1 hour."

he even expects them to bring the table for this little 'event'

Probably because he's a f**king WIERDO

Gee, the most extreme things Johnny Cash wanted were an American flag to fly within view of the crowd, and some Coca-Cola Classic--with the strict stipulation of no substitutions for other brands of soda.

Compared to some of these other people, that seems quite reasonable.

Didn't you know? Prince's big hobby now is making life sized statues of people out of dough. He tried to do a statue of Ruben Studdard, but Ruben went through a few too many buckets of KFC and there wasn't enough dough to complete the project.

At the last minute campy-reference-demigod Richard Simmons was called in to get Ruben back down to size for the statue. As a reward for loosing all of that weight in record time, Ruben was made the new Pope:

Ruben quickly lost his title after a shocking weghtloss record being broken by none other than Luciano Pavoratti:

Okay, I've simply run out of ideas for new ways to recycle my old edited photos...

Yeah, I found that website a few months ago. I found the "Bubblicious Bubble Gum" in Victor Wooten's rider to be hilarious. The most I've ever put in a contract is something about the venue providing dinner for all the band members. I also put in stuff about power requirements and a secure storage area, but everyone does that. So all in all I've never put in any crazy/wacky requests.

Might be cool to try putting one of those sort of things in there just for fun, though.

He's realised how much he sucks and has decided to move on, and work on making the world's largest omlette...

All humorous comments aside, I am really wondering about the technical requirements of some artist's riders.
I mean, who the f**k needs 480Ls for a live gig? Every freaking cheap reverb will do. Similar things go for compressors, usually they just f**k up things even more.
I've been to numerous large festivals and the likes - very often the sound was just plain shite, and they all had their 3m high racks hanging around.
And I've been to quite a bunch of semi-professional events too a friend of mine has been mixing with a 24 channel Mackie, using the build-in reverb. Needless to say that the sound very often was WAY better.

I agree with sascha- Live sound is hardly "hi-fi". And at 110 DB your ears are already clipping anyway, they would notice the difference. It sounds like ol JT simpson just had some engineer specify abunch of equipment and hes being a gear snob..
