Iggy Pop's concert rider

Oh, the hilarity! Seriously, go read it. Some examples:

4 X MARSHALL 1960 4X12 CABINETS (2 x slant A's and 2 x straight B's). That's a shame, isn't it? If they were all straight A's, the whole stack would have qualified for a scholarship to go to Oxford University. Still, their loss, our gain/master volume.

8 X HEAVY DUTY SPEAKER CABLES. So we can plug all the speakers in, and still waste half an hour wondering why we've got two speaker cables left over.

1 X 13inch and 1 x 14inch TOM-TOM, WITH MOUNTING. And if you can't bring the mounting to us, we'll have to send a bloke called Mohammed to the mounting. A stand mount would be fine, or a bass drum mount. Herre endeth the sermon on the mount.

About Iggy's vocal - we need lots. The best thing is, make it strong and punchy, a bit like a boxing kangaroo.
Then turn it up.
When you think you have turned it up enough, turn it up some more.
A tsunami of voice.
