Update: 2025-03-25
Description
What do chocolate milk, Schlitz Malt Liquor, and bars of Ivory soap have in common? They were all on Van Halen’s 1982 tour rider.
In this episode of They Asked For What?, we tear backstage with the band that defined excess — and find a rider that’s part party starter, part playground, and part pure chaos.
From soapy demands to malt liquor mayhem, we unpack the wild world behind one of rock’s most legendary backstage reputations.
