Whenever a band agrees to play a concert, there’s a part of the contract that’s known as the “rider.”  This is the list of things the promoter is required to provide in the dressing room for the artist before, during and after the show.  Most performers are quite reasonable about these things–but others are, well, a little weird.

Marilyn Manson’s rider begins normal enough–ten packs of Tic-Tacs, five packs of spearmint gum–but then it ends with “one pair of queen-size pantyhose.”  But that’s nothing.  Check out what the guys in Monster Magnet demand: several pairs of edible panties and two blow-up sex dolls, one male and one female.
