Let's face it — there's a reason the term "diva" originated with musicians (referring to opera singers).
Over the years we've heard about the ridiculous demands of musicians, from Madonna wanting new toilet seats at each venue to Justin Timberlake allegedly getting his clean-freak on by demanding doorknobs be disinfected every two hours.
But for some reason, a lot of touring musician demands seem to focus on candy. And Van Halen was no different. What color of M&M did the band demand was never to be seen at venues when on tour?

Correct Answer: Brown
The answer is: Brown. One of the most successful bands of all time, Van Halen was known for their larger-than-life, energetic live shows. In order to ensure the safety of not only the band, but the audience as well, Van Halen management used their contract-rider to verify a venue's integrity. Specifically, a bowl of M&M candies were to be placed in the dressing room, without any brown candies present. If, upon arrival at a venue, the band saw the candies sans brown, they were satisfied that the more technical aspects of their contract had been fulfilled. If they found brown candies, or no M&M's at all, the management team would then know to have their crew inspect the venue's work, have it redone, or cancel the show altogether. Source
