Metal Sludge — Ever wonder what a rock star wants to eat or drink backstage at their show?

Well, we got a few answers and they might surprise you.

Check it out below and see what Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler requests on his official backstage rider.

There is no alcohol but there is a request for Cock & Bull Ginger Beer along with Smart Water, Perrier, bottled Coca-Cola and Snapple Iced Tea.

There are also requests for various fruits, all of which are noted to be Organic.

The list of fruits includes Bananas, Pink Lady Apples (no green ones) along with both Blueberries and Raspberries (in the packaging) after being washed of course.

The singer also wants Kona Organic Coffee and Organic Almonds in addition to 1.5 pounds of fresh Figs.

There is no sign of the dreaded M&M request (sans the Brown ones, as Van Halen expected) but there is a request for Steven to have his own dressing room and the band in another.

We have shared below what was originally shared on social media courtesy of Sludgeaholic Mister Freeze who writes: “I know a chef who is catering Aerosmith’s shows here in Vegas. He posted these images from the rider on Facebook.”

Mister Freeze also adds: “The chef said he was told “Don’t fuck this up.”
