24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: see that show? Now we've always had this year. But

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: remember we talked to Eddie and Alex about their demands

26
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: for their backstage writer. Remember the urban myth that van

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: Halen started and people will hear this, it's part of

28
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: the vernacular. Oh I only want brown M and ms.

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: Well that started with van Halen.

30
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: Look a lot with your musical legacy. There's another interesting

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: legacy about contract riders. Is it true that you guys

32
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: were the first ones to have riders in your contract?

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Well, there's a serious side to it, and you know,

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: there's also a humor side. But the serious side is

35
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: we were on tour eleven twelve months a year, and

36
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: backstage is your home. And is it too much to

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: ask for a couple of six packs, you know, and

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: a towel? And apparently it wasn't too much to ask youse.

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: Half the time you wouldn't get it. So we put

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: something into the rider that was definitive is whether they

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: had read it or not. And then it took on

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: a life of its own. Was it became something of

43
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: a People found out about it and the urban legends

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: you know started and.

45
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Said, the ball of M and m's is what we're

46
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: talking about. So were all the brown ones removed?

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: Correct? Yes, you'd see about twenty twenty old ladies sitting

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: backstage separating them all.

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: They didn't just suckle the colors off the top and

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: put them back.

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Let's hope rest in peace. Sadie van Highlands with the
