Tour Riders are full of notoriously wacky requests from bands. Remember the "No Brown M&Ms" in Van Halen's? We found Metallica's 2004, 24-page rider and there are some, let's say, interesting things on there. But we added one that is a fake. Can you figure it out?
METALLICA TOUR RIDER:
- 2 Gallons of Orange Juice
- 24 bottles of non-carbonated mineral water
- 16 20-lb bags of ice
- Bacon must be served at every meal
- A washing machine hookup must be provided
- Coleman's hot English mustard
- 1 bottle of Absinthe with glasses and sugar cubes
- A fresh vegetable tray, heavy on carrots and celery
- Toaster
- Pancake mix

Metallica are at MetLife on Sunday and then at Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday.

Ok. Here it is:
- 1 bottle of Absinthe with glasses and sugar cubes

The washing machine is totally real, BTW. It's the most metal washing machine ever:
