Product Description

David Lister, The Independant, Saturday March 8th

A little gem of a book


Product Description

"The Little Red Riders Book" is a collection of many of the world's favourite musical superstars and icons excessive, strange and fascinating backstage demands. Not a day goes past without hearing about the sometimes ridiculous, sometimes lavish, (sometimes extraordinarily plain) requests of the world's biggest, and most influential, musicians and artists. These demands are known in the Biz as Riders and are a detailed, often humourous, insight into a superstar's, or a rock bands, personality and lifestyle. In this fresh and unique reference guide for music and pop culture vultures alike, the "Little Red Riders Book" zips through the last fifty years of rock and roll to bring the reader the plain, the strange, the weird and sizeable requests that many artists require when performing live around their world on tour. Many new upcoming bands only require booze, fags and sarnies to get them through the gig but in time, and with fame, that rider turns into a monster-size list of diva-ish demands. Learn what some of your favourite bands need on tour to make them give the best show of their life; what special item makes the Artic Monkeys tick? What canine related request does Lily Allen need? And what foodstuff can 50 Cent really not live without? It may only be just rock and roll but many superstars, divas and artists like it a certain way. Their way. It contains a brilliant foreword by legendary BBC Radio One DJ Steve Lamacq.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been so much better, 21 Nov 2007
By Mrs. M. D. Smithers (SE England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Interesting little read, but if ONLY he had included the dates and venues of the concerts the Riders were for. Out of all context, these lists are pretty meaningless!

He could have contrasted Riders for some bands with several years in between to see the differences and that would have been a unique collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars great laugh down the pub, 17 Dec 2007
A wonderful, if slightly, insane glimpse into the world of singers and bands and basically just a fun little gift. A really enjoyable book for down the pub and more insightful than Heat. Really cool idea, i thought - nicely done.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cracking piece of music memorabilia, 6 Dec 2007
By Alec Nelson (Wiltshire) - See all my reviews
If you've ever wondered what rock stars ask for backstage, then this is the book for you. As well as the inevitable requests for booze, this is a bizarre list of requests from socks to subbuteo, love seats to golf reservations. My personal favourite is Jools Holland's request for 12 postcards with first class stamps on. I don't know why, but it just makes me smile.
