JAKARTA - Guitarist and frontman Padi Reborn, Piyu, admitted that he was surprised by Ari Lasso's social media uploads, which revealed that the demand (riders) was excessive from young musicians to concert organizers.
Although he did not know who Ari Lasso was referring to, Piyu did not fully justify the existence of riders who made the work of concert organizers difficult.
Reflecting on the early days of Padi Reborn's journey, the 51-year-old musician said his band had never implemented excessive riders, even making it difficult for the work of other parties.
"In our early days of career, there was a term 'It's easy, it's not complicated for the riders'. It's like 'but don't catch it raw', even if you give it rice wrap, there's no problem. We eat," said Piyu when met in Gambir, Central Jakarta on Thursday, July 10.
The man with the birth name Satriyo Yudi Wibowo said that Padi's habit was because they started their journey as a band that started from below.
"Because we started from the bottom and from the very hard. We take the economic train from Surabaya to Jakarta is normal," he said.

Riders who are not grandiose are also still being applied after Padi Reborn has worked for more than 20 years. With its personnel getting older, the selection of food and drinks backstage becomes quite tight.
"Especially now, before we have been over 20 years (working), we really take care of the food," said the guitarist.
"So we usually shop ourselves. If the riders in the dressing room are just fruit, boiled food, then drink, mineral water, the other is standard," he concluded.
