ROADIE RAP, with Malcom Hine on guitar, produced by Keef Trouble.

The road crew (or roadies) are the technicians who travel with a band on tour, usually in sleeper buses, and handle every part of the concert productions except actually performing the music with the musicians.

This catch-all term covers tour managers, production managers, stage managers, front of house and monitor engineers, guitar techs, bass techs, drum techs, keyboard techs, lighting techs, pyrotechnic techs, and security/bodyguards, among others. The road crew are generally uncredited, though many bands take care to thank their crew in album sleeve notes.

There are exceptions: Lochy is considered to be the eighth Thunderbolt working exclusively with Brett Marvin And The Thunderbolts for over 36 years. He has also worked with Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs as road manager and with The Amazing Blimps. The I Am The Roadie vocal track was sampled off of a B.B.C.radio 4 profile Brett Marvin and grafted on to a backing track constructed especially for Lochy by band member Keef Trouble and is featured on Troubles album called OASIS. http://cdbaby.com/cd/keef

Pantera and Motörhead even go so far as to feature their crew in their tour videos, and Motörhead wrote the song "(We Are) The Road Crew" about their crew.
Pink Floyd showed theirs on the rear sleeve of Ummagumma and recorded them speaking on The Dark Side of the Moon.

When Gene Simmons of the band KISS attempted to blow fire for the first time in 1973, New Years Eve, New York City, he accidentally set his hair-sprayed hair into fierce flames, but was extinguished by a roadie with a wet towel.
Exceptionally, in the former Manu Chao band Mano Negra, the roadies were included as a part of the band when they signed for Virgin.

A number of roadies have gone on to join bands and write music:
Kliph Scurlock of The Flaming Lips was originally a roadie for the band before being asked to join the band as a drummer on tours.
Rick Biddulph was a roadie for Hatfield and the North and National Health and then went on to play in several bands with members of those bands
Noel Gallagher was a roadie for Inspiral Carpets before he joined Oasis.
A southern rock band named Grinderswitch were composed of Allman Brothers roadies. They would often open for them during the early Allman days and would usually borrow their instruments.
Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix before joining Hawkwind, and later forming Motörhead.

Jan Michael Alejandro, roadie for Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Jackson Browne, Blondie, James Taylor, Todd Rundgren and Linda Ronstadt, performed and wrote songs with singer, Arnold McCuller. Jan is currently a playwright and musical theater composer and book writer. Jan Alejandro's play "Common Bonds," produced by Kaz Matamura, featured music by Jackson Browne. Jan founded Jan-Al Cases with his wife and partner, Muffie Alejandro, in 1983.
Muffie Alejandro, Toured with Graham Nash and Leah Kunkel, is president of Jan-Al Cases, a Road_case company, and of Rackmountcity.com .
Bob Bryar, of the New Jersey rock band My Chemical Romance, was a sound tech before the band asked him to play drums for them, following the departure of their original drummer.
Billy Howerdel worked as guitar tech and Pro Tools engineer for the band Tool before he started A Perfect Circle which featured Maynard James Keenan as band member.
