hahninator Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Linkin Park is playing their first ever show in Israel in a little over two weeks at Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv. A local website in Israel has posted an article on the "demands" of the band...as in what the band wants for their performance at the show. These type of articles don't really surface very often, especially for Linkin Park, so I thought I'd some of it here for you to enjoy. It's actually in Hebrew (I believe) so the translation is really rough, but this here are some of the things that Linkin Park wants for their Tel Aviv show. If you've watched LP's Frat Party At The Pancake Festival DVD, you'll see that they get to submit a list of things they want at each show, whether it's a hundred bottles of water, turkey and cheese sandwiches, soda, etc. Some artists have crazy requests, but here's some of what LP wants in Tel Aviv! First of all, they state that ALL backstage rooms at the show, including those of the Iraeli production company, will have NO smoking and NO alcohol at all. Some of the other requests: - 100 towels, 24 black and yellow, hung on special racks made of metal and gold - Personal rooms for each band member, built behind a gym on the facility - Food for EIGHT days, including sausages, Belgian waffles, with maple syrup oatmeal porridge - Recommendations on three local restaurants in Tel Aviv in case that want to go out to eat after the show A total list of the food the band is requesting: coffee and tea, a blender, a toaster, Tabasco, Heinz ketchup, mustard (American), mayonnaise, 48 bottles of water at room temperature, fizzy drinks like Coca Cola, Dr Pepper, Fanta. Four cans of Red Bull, a variety of fresh bagels, cream cheese, granola bars, package of cookies, Oreos, two packets of oatmeal bars, a jar of roasted peanuts, chips and salsa, pretzels, cereal packages of Cheerios, a variety of fresh fruits, various vegetables, white bread, seven grain bread, tuna in water, and a jar of Nutella! Interesting what goes into a Linkin Park performance! The original article can be read here. The English translation can be read here.

Tomer Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) indeed hebrew on side note mark... support for LP in tel aviv has been anounced Some Israeli rapper named 'Quami' will open up for LP Worth mentioning... he was chosen personally by the band English source: Quami to open for Linkin Park Local hard rocking, hip hop outfit Quami and the Halvot have been hand-picked by Linkin Park to open up their show on November 15 at Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv. Promoter Shuki Weiss sent the American metal band dozens of submissions by Israeli artists vying for the honor, and the members chose the eclectic MC Quami, the host of the popular Galgalatz radio show Haketze, and his band for the coveted warm up spot. “The Halvot and I are in the middle of very active time, and we’re really happy to have been picked,” said Quami adding that the group has recruited the vocalist of local metal band Betzefer, Avital Tamir, to put in a guest appearance with them. Quami and the Halvot have just released a new single recorded with Rami Fortis, “Squeeze Me,” which is garnering a lot of local airplay. Their second album, following their 2007 debut, is slated to be released soon. Source: jpost.com Edited November 2, 2010 by Tomer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Del Porto Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Just a jar of Nutella? That's it? Very, very bad Linkin Park =) Hmm... many elements, mainly for food for EIGHT days. It's a waste not it? Edited November 2, 2010 by Victor Del Porto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maik_gianino Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 hung on special racks made of metal and gold Whot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narc85 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 haha wow... they eat surprisingly healthy for a rock band! i was thinking though - surely these kinds of 'demands' now come from management rather than the band themselves? i thought those requests sounded pretty reasonable. surprised by the fact that there was 'no smoking/no alcohol' - i'm a drinker, but good on em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INK 1 2Many Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm pretty sure this request of food is for the band but the Eight days amounts of food goes towards them and the whole crew who goes along with the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridARG Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I only have a sandwich in my stomach and they have all that crazy food .. Man ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JozM Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Whats with the black and yellow towels? But its good to see they are not allowing any alcohol and smoking backstage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ree Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Male Divas! Lol kidding. Edit: I wonder why they are staying there for 8 days. Maybe they could find some more Middle Eastern influences for new songs/demos I love Chester's Eastern sounding chanting on WTCFM.

McArt Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) this is actually really cool, and i'm honestly surprised by it. that's such a mild request list given how big an act they are. I work a tiny performing arts venue, and you'd be surprised what people/groups request, whether they be a band, a stand up comedian, a group of dancers, etc etc, from varying locations around the world and various levels of fame. neat-o Edited November 2, 2010 by McArt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATHYxx Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) I get the amount of food : it's not just the band it's all their roadies too. But they lost me at black and yellow towels. What in the world..? Mike and Joe gonna do some art? Edited November 2, 2010 by KATHYxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLP03 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) This Tour Rider is nouthing compared to the suck ass bands who have pages and pages of crazy stuff maybe if they take it down a notch there shows would compare to LP? mmm maybe not lol Edited November 2, 2010 by ChrisLP03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayan Lenox Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I didn't really understood what is the deal with that metal and gold thing, but I wanna know who wants to eat a jar of Nutella in 8 days. And what is tuna in water. Is is eatable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFreak64 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sweet Lists. I love seeing things like this. I love how some people/bands request only a certain color of M&Ms or certain type of entertainment (movies still in theaters, strippers, etc...). While the yellow and black towel is kinda weird, LP looks relatively normal compared to other rock stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
