Backstreet Booze -- Band Requires Beer at Shows

1. Gulp, gulp.

2. They asked for beer? I wonder who the lesser gay than the rest is? Or do you think perhaps they just put that on the list to appear "butch" and they all split the two bottles of "high quality" wine equally? Yeah, that's probably it.

3. Can't speak for AJ's situation, but Nick was diagnosed with his heart condtion in June 2008. This rider was last revised in early June, probably before he was diagnosed and gave up alcohol.

... I didn't see wheatgrass listed in the tour rider, though
;^)

4. They can have the booze - I want the chocolate bars.

5. ... look at the meal requirements, as well as all the non-alcoholic beverages - this rider is for a crew of 52 people, not just the Backstreet Boys themselves. I don't think the group could polish off the fruit, vegetable and cheese trays all by themselves, let along the beer, wine and the 60 + bottles and cans of (non-alcoholic) water and soda

6. Wow.As a Backstreet Boys fan back in the day,I seriously hope that AJ and Nick get their act together! (literally)
They need to wake up and remember that they are somebody's son,nephew,friend and above all...their still in the public eye!!! (little peeps are watching them).

10. This is from a long time ago, don't know why you guys would post this now. This is the same list that they had when they were on the apprentice, anyways, Nick was diagnosed with a heart condition since then and they have probably changed that by now, there is no way that those 4 guys could eat and drink all that themselves. This is for their band and crew, not just BSB themselves.

11. Most venues have a standard list that they submit for the artists approval and changes. It's not like the artists take the time to sit down and write a list. Who knows what was added or subtracted.

14. That rider is includes things for the MEMBERS OF THE BAND-the instrumentalists! Remember that second room that Trace Adkins bitched about in Celebrity Apprentices? That second room is for the band members, technicians, etc. Also--remember the rider was written at the beginning of the last tour BEFORE THEY KNEW ABOUT NICK's heart condition. At the time it was written--Howie, Brian and Nick had "no problem" with alcohol and AJ was on the wagon and had no problem with others drinking. I would be surprised if the next rider is written the same way......

15. First of all, Campy, your homophobia is showing. (And ignorance). Secondly, this serves as a reminder that alcohol is a drug--a legal drug. It has messed up lives just as heroin or meth has. Some one close to these guys needs to do a serious intervention with them before it's too late.
