Roadie

Un roadie o pipa es un técnico que viaja con un grupo musical en sus giras y que se encarga de todos los aspectos de sus conciertos. Bajo el término roadie se engloban los managers de gira, producción y escena, los encargados de iluminación, los técnicos de guitarra, bajo, batería y teclados, los pirotécnicos y los guardas de seguridad, entre otros. Varios músicos reconocidos tuvieron un pasado de roadie para otras bandas o incluso la misma. Tal es el caso de Kurt Cobain, roadie para The Melvins y luego líder de Nirvana; Lemmy Kilmister, roadie para Jimi Hendrix y luego bajista de Hawkwind y Motorhead; Noel Gallagher, pipa de Inspiral Carpets antes de formar Oasis; Ben Shepherd, pipa de Nirvana y luego bajista de Soundgarden, o Billy Powell, roadie y luego teclista de Lynyrd Skynyrd.
