The Smoking Gun got their hands on a copy of Van Halen's tour rider, and while it's not the most ridiculous list we've seen from rock and roll prima donnas, there are still a few noteworthy requests.
Some highlights:
David Lee Roth's room must be as far away from the others as possible. His room is to have NO floor covering, as he practices martial arts. Oh yeah, Diamond Dave also loves Motts applesauce.
No booze other than a four pack of Gallo Twin Valley Cabernet Sauvignon -- $5 retail! -- for Eddie's stage cooler. (Isn't Eddie trying to get off the sauce?)
For the first time ever in rock history, a "study room" was requested, for young Wolfgang, who apparently loves guacamole.
Alex Van Halen is totally low-maintenance -- he simply needs a box of toothpicks and two seedless watermelons.
