Because those British beers are so great...

Look at her food requirements. No wonder she's a big girl.

The singer also requires two bottles of the "very best quality red wine" and 12 bottles of "best quality European lager beer. ie Becks, Stella Artois, Peroni etc." And if promotion staff had any confusion about her brew needs, Adele adds, "North American beer is NOT acceptable."
Those three are only trivially more palatable than [generic mass produced American lager]. Peroni, seriously? Italian beer is like English food.

Yeah, she may as well ask for Heineken.

Expensive piss water. For the price they charge for Peroni, I'm surprised they haven't gone out of business.

Holy shiat, really? I've got no problem with somebody refusing to drink Natty Light or PBR, but to then say that sewage like Becks or Stella Artois is "best quality, much less acceptable"? Wow. Many would argue that Belgian beers are the best in the world, but you gravitate towards Stella? Wow x 2.

I used to like Adele, but I may have to completely rethink my opinion now.

Saying "North American Beer" is like saying "Pacific Ocean Fish". Sure, you're avoiding the weedy scorpionfish, but you're also not eating any of that amazing salmon or tuna either.

Wait, so if Adele gives you tickets to her concert, and you show up, you have to pay $20? Why doesn't she just sell those tickets for $60 and donate it all to charity? Stop treating charity like currency.

I had Peroni for the first time the other day. It's like drinking a batch of botched Hoegaardens.

I used to like Adele, but I may have to completely rethink my opinion now.

Or the very specific items listed are the standard fair riders of touring musicians to ensure the other items are followed such as safety requirements for on stage equipment and effects.

From Snopes (new window):

Van Halen was the first band to take huge productions into tertiary, third-level markets. We'd pull up with nine eighteen-wheeler trucks, full of gear, where the standard was three trucks, max. And there were many, many technical errors - whether it was the girders couldn't support the weight, or the flooring would sink in, or the doors weren't big enough to move the gear through.

The contract rider read like a version of the Chinese Yellow Pages because there was so much equipment, and so many human beings to make it function. So just as a little test, in the technical aspect of the rider, it would say "Article 148: There will be fifteen amperage voltage sockets at twenty-foot spaces, evenly, providing nineteen amperes . . ." This kind of thing. And article number 126, in the middle of nowhere, was: "There will be no brown M&M's in the backstage area, upon pain of forfeiture of the show, with full compensation."

So, when I would walk backstage, if I saw a brown M&M in that bowl . . . well, line-check the entire production. Guaranteed you're going to arrive at a technical error. They didn't read the contract. Guaranteed you'd run into a problem. Sometimes it would threaten to just destroy the whole show. Something like, literally, life-threatening.

She has every right to reject American industrial beer. Good for her.

/What exactly qualifies as "very best quality red wine"? A cabernet sauvignonor or a Rose? Your ryder is confusing.and you deserve to drink wine you don't like.

Britain has no shortage of cheap piss beer and rotgut booze. See, e.g., Carling (technically Canadian, but popular in England).

America has some of the best beers and best variety in the world. You're going to pay more than $2 a bottle for it, but she's loaded.

Actually,
America makes the best beers in the world. Belgium is a close second. There are 6 great breweries in San Diego alone, 40 in CA, and probably 100 in the US. All the crap beer is made by foreign companies now: Molson-Coors, SAB-Miller, In-Bev Bud...

The woman should try Sam Adams. Any variety. That's a North American beer that kicks Stella in the cornhole.

I don't blame her for thinking North American beer stinks if she's only had Bud, PBR, Coors, and their shiatty ilk.

She'll drink her Steel Reserve and like it.

Also, a compulsory payment of 20$=/=complimentary tickets. I mean granted she is a fairly major artist so I'd assume her tickets go for 50+ dollars normally, meaning it is a steep discount, but it seems douchey to me to charge for complimentary tickets.

I am not sure how anything after the word "world" proves your first sentence. You are probably right, but pulling numbers out of your ass about the quantities of breweries does nothing for your argument.

I once worked in a theater where we had to spend several thousand dollars jack hammering out a big set of concrete stairs and replacing them with a rolling stairs. All so that we could load in the main truss for Cats road show. It took days to complete and had to be done off season, but it was a good thing the advance rider for Cats included the information needed so that it wasn't a show killer come day of show.

She may as well have. Aside from being an all around trashy person every time her obnoxious voice comes on it makes me want to ride a bullet train. It's like being raped in the ears by a million tiny razors coated in salt and vinegar.
