The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia. Frigg is the Norse goddess whom Friday is named after and triskaidekaphobia means the fear of 13. It's also known as paraskevidekatriaphobia, which is based on the Greek word for Friday. Here’s some weird superstitions of some Rock n Rollers Rocker Meat Loaf is a big and beefy kind of guy, who just happens to have a collection of teddy bears. Teddy bears? Anyway, he will not, just will not, travel unless his beloved teddies Mani and Marietta are there with him. OK, reportedly he also believes his teddies can come alive. The Bat Out of Hell star insists the bears get backstage passes, and also maintains that their facial expressions change. The Gun N' Roses front man (and only original band member) has had a turbulent, controversial kind of life. Periodically, he has disappeared from sight, and was recently the subject of a death hoax. No, Axl Rose is alive, if not well. His superstition is fittingly weird: He believes the letter "M" is evil, or cursed, or whatever, and he refuses to perform in a city that begins with "M". Additionally, he reportedly travels with a psychic and believes that he and former girlfriend Stephanie, were lovers in previous lives. To top it all off, his ex-wife has gotten up in court and said he believes he is possessed by Led Zeppelin's John Bonham. Okay, that's probably enough. Keith Richards was named by Rolling Stone, as the 4th best guitarist of all time. But great or not, he has a food thing. Well, maybe a control thing. In spite of the Rolling Stones song "I Ain't Superstitious", Richards is just that. He insists on Shepherds Pie being served to him on tour. And what's more, he has to be the one to break the crust in his private "tuning" room backstage. If anyone else touches it, it's reportedly back to square one and a new pie must be produced. In fact, on one occasion, when someone else got to the pie first, Richards went into a flaming, booze-fueled fit and fired the group's head of security. Security for a Shepherds Pie? Other rituals? Keith has to have a snooker table set up backstage so he can play before each show. Robert Plant irons his shirts before performing, saying "I find ironing helps get me in the mood before I perform. I always have an ironing board in my room before I go on stage." Feel free to post some of your own superstitions.
