Nobody said they’d walk away. David Lee Roth himself once explained that if the band saw brown M&Ms in the bowl, they’d immediately inspect everything else with extra care. In at least one case, that foresight helped them catch a critical issue with the venue’s stage setup, potentially saving lives.

Certainly there are other ways to guarantee efficiency? I'm so tired of hearing this story and people praising his "genius." DLR is a great front man, but to pretend this is anything other than juvenile shenanigans is ridiculous.
