About Van Halen & Those Brown M&M's

David Lee Roth explains in a video that yes, Van Halen had the clause in their rider that they wanted no brown M&M's. He says they did it for safety. You know, because in a dark room it is way tougher to spot brown M&M's then a bunch of green and blue ones rolling around. Actually he said it was because they wanted to make sure that promoters were reading every line of the rider because it has very important safety information. Naah. It is because they were big selfish pricks and they wanted to find a way to show they were big selfish pricks. Does not mean I didn't like their music, but they were being divas, and Dave does not exactly deny he trashed a dressing room when he found brown M&M's. So much for safety.
