The Rock Star is but a rock. With the help of the roadie, these rocks will be polished and shot through space and become the stars that they were meant to be. The Roadie is an integral — yet sadly unappreciated — part of the rocking process. Roadies tune guitars, carry amps and speaker cabinets, replace lights, check mikes, bounce fence-hoppers, drive the bus with panache, cater band parties, market merchandise and holds the bass player's hair up as they vomit. The great onstage show does not just happen by accident after all. Because of the various jobs roadies are know to do, they are usually portrayed as the "Hyper-Competent Sidekick" type, managing to fulfill every need no matter how grand. Older roadies are portrayed as sagely, veteran types, having been to every corner of the industry, toured the world, from Badass Biker bars to stadiums, tasted every drug, and known every legend. Rock stars who are facing Performance Anxiety from a big show value veteran roadies' years of experience and calmness under pressure. As well, experienced roadies always have An Aesop to impart. Note that stage managers and roadies/stage crew are two different things and never should be confused. |

Before making it with his own band, Motörhead, Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and The Nice. Keith Emerson credits him as the one who gave him the idea for his trademark stunt of using a knife to hold the keys down while he was playing. | |

Steven from Steven Universe has expressed that one of his dream jobs is to be a roadie (his father having once been The Rock Star) and gets to live out this dream by helping Sour Cream set up a rave in "Drop Beat Dad". It helps he's a talented musician, and extra-strong thanks to being half-alien. | |

In The Bremen Avenue Experience, Tanner's dad Pete appears to be an Amazingly Embarrassing Parent at first, but then he reveals his backstory. Back when Pete traveled with a popular band back in his day, he was their roadie (and a popular one too!), and he's also a pretty good drummer. This makes Tanner respect his father a lot more. | |

Eddie Riggs from Brütal Legend is a roadie literally Born in the Wrong Century, famous in the biz for his roadie skills and love of classic Heavy Metal, forced to work under the disrespectful Second Wave of American Tween Melodic Rap Metalcore band "Kabbage Boy." After dying on stage and accidentally summoning Ormagoden in the process, Eddie ends up in a Heavy Mithril world where his rocking and roadie skills help him lead the human resistance army Ironheade against the Hair Metal Militia, the Drowning Doom and the Tainted Coil. Roadies are later presented as a stealth-based infantry in Ironheade's army, wielding incredibly large amps and invisibility skills that allowed them to free Ophelia's Razorgirls from Lionwhyte's pleasure tower. Watt-R-Boys are the Hair Metal Militia equivalent. | |
