Smoke Break #926: David Lee Roth Explains The Myth Of Van Halen’s Brown M&M Clause
February 17, 2012
Back in the 1980′s when Van Halen was the absolute shit, they toured the world’s arenas with one infamous clause in their “Chinese phonebook-sized” contract: on no account were there to be any brown M&M’s backstage. If any were discovered amidst the arranged bowls of brightly coloured candies, the band would exit the building (or more likely trash the dressing room) and still be legally entitled to their full pay. Pop culture chalked such weirditude up to the typical excesses of a glam band (tight vinyl slacks and tassels can do weird things to a man’s brain), but the truth is actually way more interesting…
it was interesting when eric alper tweeted a link to an article about it a few months ago. david lee roth is an incoherent drug addled mess, and not much more.
Poor Darcy!
incredibly not that interesting
