Gnarls Barkley's Rider Revealed

Condoms and Snickers and Athletic Socks, Oh My!
Gnarls Barkley's Rider Revealed

Ever wonder which member of Gnarls Barkley is packing the goods? According to a tour rider TheSmokingGun.com somehow got its hands on, it's the occupant of Dressing Room #1. Unfortunately, we're unsure if that means Cee-Lo or Danger Mouse, so you'll have to judge for yourselves.

In addition to requesting a bag of Snickers minis, two cases of room temperature bottled water (no Dasani, Aquafina, or Purified Water), a pot of hot water, 750ml bottles of both Grey Goose and Hennessy, 12 (!) cans of Red Bull, a pack of Swisher Sweets, and other items, the half of GB that has access to Dressing Room #1 regularly requests one pack of Magnum Condoms (15% larger than a normal condom) be present upon his arrival at a show.

Dressing Room #2 requires Doritos, one dozen Dunkin or Krispy Kreme Donuts, one package of Twizzlers licorice (red), athletic socks (at least two pairs), and more.

Also, according to segment four of the rider ("Force Majeure"), if Gnarls Barkley's performance is rendered impossible due to Acts of God (amongst other things-- riots, strikes, earthquakes, etc.), the band is not liable to the purchaser. For the sake of venue owners everywhere, we're crossing our fingers that God is a Gnarls fan.
