RiderWatch: The Foo Fighters Want Fresh Ketchup

Posted by Eriq Gardner

The Smoking Gun has posted one of the wackiest contract riders we've seen. Apparently, the Foo Fighters are picky about their dietary habits. Go figure. No lawyer would ever write things like:

• "A bunch of lightly cooked chicken breasts with goo on them are not fun, not exciting and definitely not going to GET YOU A HUG FROM OUR BASS PLAYER, NATE. (He's the real people person, not the guy from Nirvana.)

• "Every lunch should include a "Soup of the day" — Please try to make it a vegetarian selection. Meaty soups make roadies fart."

• "ALSO - NO ONE WANTS THE LAST 4 millimeters of dressing or ketchup. Please make the condiments as fresh as possible (see "last night's Dio show)"
