It is back., crazy tour requests by Van Halen. This time it is even better, but only slightly. Gone are the days of separating multicolored M&M's. But this makes it in:

"Mr. Roth practices martial arts in his dressing room, and in order to do this there can be no rugs or carpeting of any sort." Additionally, Diamond Dave's dwelling "SHOULD BE AS FAR AWAY FROM" dressing rooms occupied by bandmates Wolfgang, Alex and Eddie Van Halen.

How awesome is that? Martial Arts in his dressing room? Diamond Dave is hardcore. I understand now how Diamond Dave and Eddie were able to cope with one another, they only interacted on-stage.

The other stand out item in the tour rider was the content of Eddie Van Halen's mini stage fridge:

4 (Four) mini bottles of Gallo Twin Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (red and white lable, red cap)

The tour was delayed by a few months so Eddie to complete a stint in rehab for alcohol abuse. Check out the the entire document from The Smoking Gun.
