How can event organizers deal with difficult bands while still ensuring a successful event?

Touring is an essential part of the music industry. From getting exposure to fans across the globe to earning a substantial amount of money, touring is the lifeline of many bands. However, it is no secret that being on tour can be a grueling and tiresome experience. It requires months of planning, long hours of traveling, and numerous sacrifices. While some bands are known to have a smooth and enjoyable experience on the road, others can be absolute nightmares. In this article, we will be discussing bands who have a reputation for being a nightmare on tour.

The first band on this list is Guns N’ Roses. The band’s controversial frontman, Axl Rose, is infamous for being difficult to work with. From canceling shows minutes before going on stage to showing up hours late for performances, Rose’s erratic behavior has caused the band’s touring plans to be thrown off track on numerous occasions. In fact, former bandmates have been known to quit the band due to Rose’s unpredictable behavior.

Another band notorious for their bad behavior on tour is the English rock band, Oasis. The band’s erratic behavior dates back to the 90s when frontman Liam Gallagher was known to start fights with fans and other band members. In one instance, Gallagher refused to go on stage because he disliked the venue’s lighting. This led to the audience’s disappointment and became a nightmare for the rest of the band members, who had to deal with the fallout.

The third band on the list is Metallica. The band’s preference for high decibels is not the only thing that’s loud about them. Metallica is known for their strict and stringent rules for backstage pass holders. They have been known to terminate tours midway because someone with a backstage pass dared to play their music too close to the band’s backstage room.

The fourth band known for their nightmare behavior on tour is Mötley Crüe. The band was notorious for their drug and alcohol abuse, which caused a significant rift between the band members. Fans and venue staff have spoken about the band’s outrageous demands and all-around bad behavior on tour.

Finally, we have Nine Inch Nails, who are famous for their demands for a quiet backstage. The band’s frontman Trent Reznor is known to have strict rules for what can and cannot be played in the band’s backstage room. In addition, the band’s travel demands are also notoriously high, making their touring a nightmare for event organizers.

In conclusion, touring can be an unpredictable and exhausting experience. While some bands relish the experiences of being on the road, others can be a nightmare for fans and event organizers alike. The bands listed above are just a few examples of bands that have a reputation for being difficult on tour. It is important to highlight that musicians are also human and can have bad days. However, as a professional musician, respecting fans, other band members and venue staff is of critical importance to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience on tour.
