Re: Help me understand 'Riders'Riders are a list of snobby FOH guy's requests. They pick a pile of the most expensive gear possible, and demand it at every gig, regardless of what they actually need, and then bitch when they don't get it, but do the job anyway on what's provided because the band wants to get paid.On my level, the rider only really comes in to play when we are doing fly dates and production is hired in. They get my rider and meet it as best as they can given whatever budget they have. For club gigs, you deal with what the house has or bring in your own shit.Evan
