Many know the story.. Does anyone know of a story from a promoter encountering this? I'd love to hear that conversation, when the alert guy notices this, and asks why. Could be very funny. Or the reaction when there's a forfeiture!
Here's another problem. So many articles that give an intro, and then have a video that no longer exists. So I'll just paste a quote:
Article 126, œThere will be no brown M&M’s in the backstage area, upon pain of forfeiture of the show, with full compensation.
While the underlined rider entry has often been described as an example of rock excess, the outlandish demand of multimillionaires, the group has said the M&M provision was included to make sure that promoters had actually read its lengthy rider. If brown M&M's were in the backstage candy bowl, Van Halen surmised that more important aspects of a performance--lighting, staging, security, ticketing--may have been botched by an inattentive promoter."
