Anthrax rules of the road...

[TD]

Here's some tid bits from the 1993 tour itinerary I recently won on Ebay.

Laminated Passes: : will be issued to all personell. These passes are for your own use only and may not be given to anyone for the purpose of gaining entry to the venue or backstage area or in return for sexual favors. Lost laminates will be replaced at a cost of $25 each.

Catering : The evening meal, food, and drink in general are provided for tour personell only. The catering room and band dressing room are not self service bar areas for guests.

Whining : anyone found guilty of such a cardinal sin shall have thier head rapped in with a ratchet by a designated member of the crew.

General : No one is permitted smoking on the stage when the band is present. Anyone found to be under the influence of any intoxicating substance whilst in the work place will be duly dismissed.

Cash : Per Diems will be paid one week in advance from Monday to Sunday at a rate of $35 per day.


Thought you might find some of these interesting. I always thought I'd like to roadie for anthrax, but sorry, not for 35 bucks a day.

That does sound like it sucks, but I like the part about whining. And the smoking part too (I'm a weenie since I quit).

You've got to have rules! Another neat thing is anytime there is "band appearance" (tv show like arsenio, festival like dynamo) the band is listed as "Bello, Benante, Bush, Ian, Spitz" whereas anytime there is a flight or a change of country it is "Bello, Benante, Bush, Rosenfeld, Spitz." Also, Spitz often took different flights back home to New York. Don't know if it was just quicker for him to fly to Newark rather than JFK, or if he just didn't like flying home with Bello, Benante and the entire road crew......
