The spread of Tri Suaka's rider suddenly made netizens wonder. Some netizens questioned how an artist whose work mostly covers other people's songs could ask for various things and also high payment.

From there, a netizen compared Tri Suaka's rider with the legendary band Sheila On 7. Coincidentally, the creator of this thread had accompanied the band from Yogyakarta to perform in Jember, precisely in 2017.

"Let me tell you about my experience with the band of millions, Sheila On 7. It started from Sheila's concert in Jember in 2017. At that time, the concert was in Baratan. The ticket price was IDR 50,000. Let's talk about the Raiders first. I will skip the accommodation point because the EO has provided Aston. At Aston, the SO7 entourage arrived around Maghrib. Believe me, SO7 from Yogya only used 2 cars. Without airport protocol, airport pickup, and others like this (Tri Suaka). And when they arrived, they came without escort. They just came like a group of uncles going on a picnic to Bali. Mas Duta only wore a green t-shirt, flip-flops. Mas Adam immediately lit Samsu (cigarette), as if he wasn't an artist," wrote the @Jembercoret account in Javanese.

Furthermore, the account also tells how Duta CS was so relaxed, not fussy, and not demanding during backstage and performance. Occasionally, the thread maker also criticized Tri Suaka, whom he considered too excessive in asking for a rider.

"Moving on to the concert. This is backstage, where everything in the tent has been provided by the EO. Snacks, water, energy drinks, and others. Unfortunately, Sheila's uncles wanted to eat rice before going on stage, but it wasn't provided. In the end, they ate Cheetos. Mas Duta said, 'Isn't there any rice? The last time we ate was in Kediri, we stopped by Aunt's house'. Imagine, SO7 stopped by Mas Duta's aunt's house to eat. What singer suddenly asks for a reflexology massage, wkwkwk," the thread continued.

 

 

3. Eating at Warung Sederhana with Other Visitors

The story doesn't stop there. The thread maker then continued the story of his togetherness with the Sheila On 7 personnel after the performance. Even when eating, Duta CS was said to be not fussy at all and very down-to-earth. The total cost of their meal at the warung was only IDR 180,000!

"After the concert. Because they hadn't eaten before playing, these cool uncles asked for a ride to find food. They didn't ask for anything fancy, just RAWON. Finally, we took them to the 4 Mata Panjaitan warung. But it was closed. The closest one was Lalapan Pangestu Gunung Batu. When we arrived at Pangestu, I asked for a special room on the second floor, so they wouldn't be disturbed while eating. But Mas Duta didn't want to, 'It's okay, let's just eat downstairs. Relax'. How inhumane is that? In the end, they ate with other visitors. That's in the photo, even wearing the same clothes they wore during the performance. Maybe they were just too hungry. When eating, they weren't fussy, just took the buffet and drank ginger. That's it. When I paid, it only cost IDR 180,000, including the crackers. I swear!" the thread continued.

 

 

4. Message for Tri Suaka

And at the end of the thread, the writer gave a little message to Tri Suaka to prioritize simplicity if he wants to become a great musician like Sheila on 7, whose work never dies and whose name is always praised by everyone.

I have to curse, seriously ????????
Let me tell you, this is my experience when I was with the band sejuta umat, Sheila On 7.

"That's why I'm a bit like, seeing new artists covering other people's songs. Making money from other people's songs, but their style is unbearable. Be down to earth, bro. This simplicity is the key to the success of bands like Sheila on 7, who are still loved by their fans. Without haters. That's all. Long live Indonesian music!" the thread concluded.
