they did many things at the hotel that we ended up paying for...charged extra rooms, food, trashed rooms, etc, etc. all stuff that wasn't in the rider or contract.
but the worst thing was that one of them took a **** on the floor between the rooms and then they proceeded to walk through it and track it all over the rooms...carpets, bedding, etc.
knowing what went on backstage, i can only imagine the stuff that went on in those rooms. i've tour managed for bands and been at plenty of after parties at hotels with nationally touring acts. I've seen a lot, and the crap they did was ridiculous. Its one thing to be booked and do your "jackass" stuff on stage when you are being paid for it, and its a completely different thing to be doing that stuff under the other circumstances. In the end, their management ended up reimbursing for all the costs incurred that weren't in the contract or rider.
i personally would have never even booked that show, but it wasn't my decision.
