No One Will Ever Top The Audacity And Ratchetness Of Diplo’s Rider

Page Six, the vaunted gossip section of the New York Post, got a hand on producer Diplo’s rider and boy, is it a doozy. Right up there with the great tour riders of yore from the likes of Mötley Crüe and Van Halen.

For those not in the know, the rider is a document that will outline requests and requirements that a band will need for their tour. This can be light arrangements and stage design schematics or, more infamously, alcohol, drugs, and if you’re Limp Bizkit, light fixtures with dimmer switches.

So what would a …

Tommy Lee’s Summer kit

Motley Crue have always been known for putting on a simply electric live show. Part of this may be due to the fact they rose to fame at the height of “hair metal” (a genre plagued by theatrics), but we think they just like to have a good time.

Recently, the band kicked off their 2011 Summer tour and videos of their performances have already begun circulating online. Click below to watch a fan-shot video of a Tommy Lee’s new (and insanely badass) drum kit and, especially if you love 80′s metal, go to this tour!

I’ve been trying for a few years to see the Crue live in concert. I don’t know if it was nostalgia for an era of music I never got to experience or the desire to see a dirty and gritty rock band play to 20,000 people, but it was always a dream and it finally came true this past weekend in Grand Rapids.

Thanks to our press access, we were given side stage seat four rows from the stage. Perfect for seeing and hearing the entire evening at top quality without worrying …

Title: Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life of a Shattered Rock Star
Publisher: Pocket Books
-Now Available in Paperback!-

It seems that every month UTG exists, we change and are better because of it. Having only done one previous book review, I never really thought we’d get the opportunity again as we obviously focus on music for the majority of our time, but low and behold, here we are again. This time, instead of dealing with one musician’s redemption, we dive into the dark beast of addiction and it’s effect on one’s life with the real …
