        What… what… what? Van Halen? Justin Bieber? Like that Best Buy commercial?

          Van Halen (at least in the David Lee Roth days), used to have it in their contract whenever they played a venue there was to be a large bowl of M&Ms in their dressing room with ALL the brown M&Ms removed.

            No kidding! That’s insane. I don’t get how you can be so rich yet so myopic.

    old story. maybe urban legend. But Van Halen,back in the hey-day….the David Lee Roth hey-day, had it in their tour rider that they wanted M&M’s backstage but please remove all the green ones.Not sure the reason,maybe just because they could. And since then every act has did the ol’ one-up-manship thing on the outrageous tour demand. I just wrote “Beeber” ’cause it sounded like the thing to say at the time.hehe. (the Smoking Gun site has a huge section on all these “unique” demands from way back when till now.All genres of acts.A good read.)

      O.S., did you see my link above?

  • Reply oldshoes May 24, 2011 at 6:15 pm

    ooops.meant brown ones.

  • Reply oldshoes May 24, 2011 at 10:52 pm

    cool. that makes one more bio i gotta read. want to read Sammy Hagar’s. But after checking out that link, might as well start with D.L.R. , then Sammy…..keep it in order. ANd have some Cabo Wabo.

      I read a snippet of Sammy’s auto-bio that was published in Rolling Stone… ho brah, he dissed on Eddie BIG TIME!

    Brown goes back to the beginning, OK well before I was born, but they seem to fit so naturally. I am still trying to get used to the blue ones. They’ve ony been around since the mid-90s, and somehow they seem like the “new neighbors” who have lived next door for a decade.

    A group of M&Ms without brown is like a bowling ball without a liquid center.

    I tried the dark chocolate M&Ms a couple of times and was disappointed because they tasted exactly like the mild chocolate M&Ms.

    Van Halen sucks saw them two times once with Sammy and the other with a different joker but both times not so good. Maybe with Roth would have been good in the eighties.
