Lady Ga-Ga's tour rider is, well, GA GA!

Posted: 2/5/13 at 3:23pm

Her dressing room need to have white leather couches, fresh roses and black satin drapes “[With] silver statins draped over the walls, old rock posters from her favorite artists [like] David Bowie, Queen, Elton John and Billy [sic] Holiday,” and “fan art that was kept on the road” also be hung around the room.

Other dressing room accoutrements include all the luxuries of home, plus one that has relaxing properties for the on-the-go superstar: 2 large fluffy lavendar [sic] towels; 2 lavendar [sic] hand towels; 2 lavendar [sic] wash cloths, which must be available to the pop star “at all times”; lavendar [sic] handsoap, body wash; face soap; 2 new seafoam luffas; small candle in the bathroom, fresh yellow, lavendar [sic] or white roses; and a steamer."

She also needed "whole wheat bread, Bran Flakes or Special K (with no berries or raisins), organic teas and milk, Hiro strawberry jam and peanut butter with flax seed that contained no more than 4 grams of sugar, Ezekial [sic] sprouted grain tortillas and homemade guacamole be made readily available backstage during all her performances."


She's certainly a REGULAR girl

She also went crazy during testimony against a former assistant who is suing her for overtime.
“She’s just — she thinks she’s just like the queen of the universe,” Gaga ranted, court records obtained by The Post show.
“And, you know what, she didn’t want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I’m the queen of the universe every day.”

The tour specs seem pretty normal to me.

You're on the road. You want your dressing room to be the way you want it to be.

If someone asks "what kind of milk do you like?" And I say that I prefer organic, 2% milk, and my preference is NOT to drink "Horizon Organic" because I prefer to send my dollars to smaller, farmer-owned co-ops, am I a crazy diva? I'm just making sure I will get what I want.

Her rider doesn't seem too crazy to me but the whole thing with the assistant was the last straw and completely turned me against her.

Songanddanceman would be proud of me!

Meh.

Lie down with the devil, wake up in Hell.

The whole P.A. gig is a bizarro parallel universe. There are good plutocrats and bad plutocrats, and you figure out pretty fast which kind you're working for.

This assistant got more than 7,000 hours of over-time into her situation before she felt like she had to do something about it?

I'm not buying her as a victim.

I guess I've been around too many rock stars who see their rider as a test to see just how well the venue or promoter is paying attention. They are there to work- they spend a few minutes backstage. All that flax oil, milk, organic peanut butter, fresh churned goat butter, green M&Ms or whatever gets checked off and thrown away.

(with no berries or raisins)

Now I'm an even bigger fan!

I guess the beds on her plane are a test, too?

Rider aside, the woman seems truly insufferable.

Hey! Truly Insufferable is MY drag name!

I read she emerges from a zippered vagina on the Bored this Way tour.

[Addison D.]

Posted: 2/5/13 at 4:19pm

They have zippers???

Is THAT what they meant when they told me to watch out for teeth???

She certainly sounds like a tool. She lost me two years ago at the Grammy's when she was carried into the ceremony on the red carpet while supposedly inside that egg. I thought, "Get over yourself!" As a gay man, I felt like "Born This Way" was being shoved down my throat at that point. It seemed like cheap pandering to me.

Jordan i am truly proud, and Namo i don't think i have loved you more than i do right now.....it's almost illegal

I never liked her, but i thought by now she was over. I guess not.

[songanddanceman2]

Posted: 2/5/13 at 5:01pm

Well the fact none of her venues are sold out, they are giving tickets away for free and her South American tour died a death.....i would say she is close to it.....YES, i just bashed Gaga

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/5/13 at 5:10pm

Her 15 minutes were bound to run out

[ghostlight2]

"YES, i just bashed Gaga"

Imagine anyone's surprise.

Are these people even human?

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 2/5/13 at 8:12pm

There have been a lot of crazy tour demands, hers are not the first. Remember when Babs made Oprah paint her microphone? You can imagine what she demands in her dressing room.

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/5/13 at 8:20pm

and I used to think brown m&ms was going too far.

I understand Madonna demands an hermetically sealed toilet and I'm not even making that up.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 2/5/13 at 8:32pm

Before she uses it or after?

[songanddanceman2]

Madonna also demanded that a team go in after each concert and scrub away her DNA if the Brit tabloids are to believed
