Suck it, Katy Perry!

As Ralph recently reported during Showbiz, the Smoking Gun released Perry’s current tour rider, which to sum it up, made her pretty much look like a stuck up, high-maintenance diva.  Some things outlined in her rider: Drivers aren’t allowed to look at her, she wants a stack of  tickets to sell on StubHub, and God help you if you put Carnations in her room.

The Smoking Gun also recently got a hold of the 2011 Foo Fighters tour rider, and it has a couple of things that Katy Perry’s lacks: mainly loads of jokes, but also a freaking coloring book!

In this 52-page masterpiece, the band outlines the daily needs of the band and their crew while traveling on tour.  It may as well be  released as a comedy book; the rider is ridden with one-liners and pop-culture references to lighten the mood for any reader.

When it comes to catering, the Foos opted to create an activity book to make learning fun for promoters, titled “Part Seven: Catering Visual Enhancements and Activites”.  In it, you can color a picture of Dave Grohl rocking out with a knife and fork, complete a word search of catering “don’ts”, guide Chris Shifflett through a maze, and learn about the wonderful world of ice. 

Some other highlights:

-Regarding the Vegetarian members of the the crew: ” Yep, the Crusades didn’t rid the world of them so we have to pretend to care. Seriously, a baked potato is not an acceptable dinner. I will go Jeffrey Dahmer on the staff and anyone in range if I see one more baked potato bar set up in a dank meeting room in the rectum of a basketball gym.”

-Dressing Room Requirement: “Monday Shows- 4 DvDs (used is acceptable). One action. No Carrot Top, Larry the Cable Guy. We do love sharks with lasers.”

-Items you cannot bring to a Foos Show: Lightsabers, garden gnomes, tridents
