Rock stars you've met

[DKMode]

so I went to the Chili Peppers concert in vancouver last night, and i happened to run into Flea outside the 4 seasons. much to my surprise he completely ignored me and my 2 friends. i thought maybe the band were more arrogant than i though, but a bunch of my friends met Chad Smith in Pacific Centre shopping mall before the show and said he was the nicest guy ever. they talked to him for like 10 minutes and got pictures with him. makes me kinda mad that i ran into flea who didnt seem to give a **** that we were fans instead of Chad who seems to embrace his fans. anyways, anyone got any stories of meeting a rock star, and if so, how did they act?

[Anglachel]

Flea had a video game character named after him.

[Cocaine]

I know (acquaintances) the guys in Protest the Hero, but they're hardly rockstars. Weird guys, but the coolest, nicest guys on earth.

I met Weird Al. Also a really nice guy, though once again, not a "rockstar".

[Apocalypticon]

I met 3 of the guys from 3 Inches of Blood and hung out with them after a show for like 15 minutes.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

None :(

I hung around after Megadeth, but it was late and we had to drive back home for a couple of hours so we left :(

[Quiksilver26]

i've met alexisonfire, also sam totman of dragonforce. he was wasted when i was talking to him :lol. he was a really cool dude though, we talked about metal for a few minutes before i had to leave.

[Cocaine]

Oh I guess I should say who I've met.

I've met the guys from Alexisonfire also, a few times, mostly a few years back. I met Skye Sweetnam, a really bad Avril Lavigne knock off. K-Os, though not "rock", is a dude I've talked to a bunch of times downtown. I dont really bother "rock stars", because honestly, I dont have much to say to them.

[Quiksilver26]

Haha it was complete luck that I met AOF actually.. my buddy and I were just chillen out by the side of one of the stages at warped, and out of nowhere George came over to a bunch of us there and started talking, it was cool.. Later after the set I was reaching for a drumstick, but couldnt grab it.. then when i look up, Dallas is right there and hands me his pick.

[MRDuCran]

Well I haven't met any one famous yet but my best friend from college is having drum lessons with the drummer from Sikth. I thought that was pretty ****ing cool since they're his favourite band. It'd be like me popping over to Alexi Laiho's house for a jam.

[Det_Nosnip]

Well, let's see...I've met the Gathering, Unexpect, and Green Carnation, as well as a slue of other bands that I helped set up for SXSW. I met Opeth and SYL at a meet+greet for SOTU. Chatted with Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity as well as Anders Jivarp for quite a while after their awesome show here in Chicago...very cool guys! Met and had a drum lesson with Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree, who is a really awesome guy and an amazing musician. I've also attended drum clinics and, while there, met:

Steve Gadd
Kenny Aronoff
Greg Bissonnette
Stanton Moore
Virgil Donati.

As far as internet corespondences go, I've spoken with Sander and Joost from After Forever on several ocassions via e-mail and the group's messageboard (revealing my fanboyism here, but the band members actually post fairly frequently there and engage in alot of the discussions). I also sent Javier Garagarza(drums) from Elfonia a message to which he replied at length as well as e-mailed Davy Mickers from Stream of Passion. Oh, I also sent Arjen Lucassen an e-mail, to which he replied in a surprising amount of detail! Very awesome guy...would love to meet him in person, if it weren't for the whole "living in another country" thing. :upset:

[Permanent Solution]

I've met Gavin from Dredg, The Early November, Thrice, Waking Ashland, A couple guys from Zebrahead, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. I go to small shows so none of these are really rockstars per se, but I meet a lot of the bands I like because it's smaller and more intimate.

[Junooni]

I've met Salman Ahmad of Junoon quite a few times. I'll be visiting his house soon. This is a man that's sold 25 million albums, and did a gig at the UN general assembly.

I've also met (briefly) Kirk Hammet.

[Bazarov]

I've met:
Dave Mustaine
Dave Ellefson
All of Agent Steel
All of Helstar
All of Behemoth
Flo Mounier, Alex Auburn, Lord Worm (Cryptopsy)
Neil Turbin
Beefcake and Flattus Maximus (GWAR)
Landphil (Municipal Waste)

All of these guys were really damn cool, except Lord Worm.

[metalguy]

only one i got is i hung out with behemoth for like 2 hours after a show.


a chick we went with knew them some how and we hung out for like 2 hours after the show discussing metal and other random crap.

[Sleepy]

I've met:
Dave Mustaine
Dave Ellefson
All of Agent Steel
All of Helstar
All of Behemoth
Flo Mounier, Alex Auburn, Lord Worm (Cryptopsy)
Neil Turbin
Beefcake and Flattus Maximus (GWAR)
Landphil (Municipal Waste)

All of these guys were really damn cool, except Lord Worm.

Hah, why am I not surprised by that?

I met Alice Cooper. :cool:

[Quiksilver26]

ehh what's wrong with worm? :mad:

[Sleepy]

ehh what's wrong with worm? :mad:

Can't name it, really. Let me put it this way:

The way I see Lord Worm...if he was an MX poster he would be a ridiculously biased elitist fage.

Crazy voice, though.

[Quiksilver26]

Ah, that sucks... considering how awesome Cryptopsy is. I still have yet to see them live or anything, so I didn't know that :(

[Bazarov]

It wasn't really he was being a douche or anything, but I asked if I could get a picture with him, and he rolled his eyes and let a out like an exaggerated sigh. Like it was some big ****ing deal. I got my picture with him though. Flo and Alex seemed more than happy when I asked if I could get a picture with them.

Regaurdless.. Cryptopsy is awesome.

[actionfan32]

I met 3 of the guys from 3 Inches of Blood and hung out with them after a show for like 15 minutes.
Yeah that was really cool how they actually went and talked to people. That was probably cause of how few people there were.

As for me, I met 4 of the 5 Opeth members and got my Blackwater Park cd booklet signed, and I met 3 of the 4 Strapping Young Lad members and got my ticket signed (both at SOTU 2005).

I would've liked to meet Chuck Schuldiner and especially Dimebag Darrell. Actually, Vinnie Paul's doing a bunch of signings in some Canadian cities next month, but he's not doing any here, although I really hope he will. Pantera's been such a huge part of my life for the last third (5 and a half years) of it and have had so much impact and influence on it (inspired to me to start playing music, first band I ever saw live, etc.) and I'd really like to meet Vinnie.

[Quiksilver26]

Regaurdless.. Cryptopsy is awesome.
Agreed. And to keep the cooler image of him I have in my head, I'll just chalk that up to him having a shitty day or something :lol:

And before we end up actually hijacking this thread.. i'm going to stop posting in it for a while :wave:

[Jude]

I met John Wesley after a Porcupine Tree concert and got his autograph. That was pretty sweet.

[silicon71]

My friends dad is max weinberg, so I bump into him a lot.

[Det_Nosnip]

Holy crap...that's awesome. :eek:

Anyways, I forgot that I also met a few members of Therion. Mats Levin is totally cool. Didn't get to meet Chris unfortunately, which sucks because he's one of my biggest influences as a musician. :(

[Po0sH]

Arch Enemy


My friends dad is max weinberg, so I bump into him a lot.

Dude that is seriously really really awesome. I love Max.

[repcak]

Tito and Tarantula
Michael Angelo Batio
Alexi Laiho
Roope Latvala
Janne Warmen

[Duman]

I've met the members of Trivium, who are really nice (especially Corey), the members of Epica, the members of Stream of Passion, the members of NovAct and some other obscure bands. All really nice people.

[shad3]

i met 2 members of the all american rejects and thats about it.......

my friend's sister met kurt cobain, and made out with slash

[jazzfromhell]

My friends dad is max weinberg, so I bump into him a lot.

It's already been said...but that is so great. You should try and get yourself invited over to dinner the same night as the Boss himself. :thumb:


I met Phil Lesh, at a book signing for Searching for the Sound. That was cool, really nice guy.

[BuddyBigsby]

It wasn't really he was being a douche or anything, but I asked if I could get a picture with him, and he rolled his eyes and let a out like an exaggerated sigh. Like it was some big ****ing deal. I got my picture with him though. Flo and Alex seemed more than happy when I asked if I could get a picture with them.

Regaurdless.. Cryptopsy is awesome.

Maybe because he's a human being that doesn't like being treated like a demigod by people who waste their time idolizing "rock stars" instead of people who actually matter in this world.

You people are ****ing pathetic.

[Bazarov]

I don't idolize Lord Worm... he was there, I had a camera.. I said, "Worm, mind if I get a picture with you?"

[Duman]

Oh, I also sent Arjen Lucassen an e-mail, to which he replied in a surprising amount of detail! Very awesome guy...would love to meet him in person, if it weren't for the whole "living in another country" thing. :upset:


He is a very, very nice guy :p

[DKMode]

It wasn't really he was being a douche or anything, but I asked if I could get a picture with him, and he rolled his eyes and let a out like an exaggerated sigh. Like it was some big ****ing deal. I got my picture with him though. Flo and Alex seemed more than happy when I asked if I could get a picture with them.

Regaurdless.. Cryptopsy is awesome.

still better than Flea. i told him he was the raddest bass player out there, he kinda turned his head and that was it, then i asked for a picture, he said no so i went to ask him again as he was getting on the bus and a ****ing car that was driving by hit me in the shoulder with its mirror. even after that he wouldnt give me the time of day. he turned around and said "your nuts dude" or something like that and left. looking back id probably do the same thing though if i had idiots like me doing that type of thing for the past 20 years.

[-The Frank]

I met all of Metal Church, all of them were really friendly cool guys.

Therapy?, of course. :cool:

[Kyle]

I met Mastodon :D

[Wish]

I've spoken to Phil Demmel of Machine Head for the shortest period ever. We exchanged 'Hey'.

I've spoken to Byron Davis from God Forbid. He seemed real modest when people were saying 'Yeah, you guys are great' etc.

I've shook hands of all the members of Whitesnake in 2004.

I met Chimaria at the Download Festival in 2005. They are truely the nicest people ever.

[purplefeet]

Me and my friends chilled with Cephalic Carnage before their set in the back. Really, super guys.

I've met Lacuna Coil, got my poster signed, but no picture. :(

And I've met the singer and the short-haired guitarist from The Red Chord.

All at Ozzfest 06.

[132WalrusesInMexico]

I met John Petrucci at a guitar clinic last year the day before he played at Gigantour. It was pretty cool even though I don't really like his guitar playing or Dream Theater in general. I just went along because a bunch of my friends were going.

[Jacaranda]

I said "Hey" to the lead singer of Awesome Color. Thats as far as I got.

[A_Guy]

I'v met:
Jerry Cantrell
Kim Thayil
Pat Smear
Taylor Hawkins
Nate Mendel

I've also been at concert after parties and seen Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, Duff McKagan, Mike Inez, Sean Kinney, and Chris Shiflett.

thats an awesome list. i would love to meet the guys in alice in chains as well as soundgarden, and im pretty sure meeting taylor hawkins would be amazing cuz he seems like an extremely funny person. Im guessing your from Seattle?

[A_Guy]

thats an awesome list. i would love to meet the guys in alice in chains as well as soundgarden, and im pretty sure meeting taylor hawkins would be amazing cuz he seems like an extremely funny person. Im guessing your from Seattle?
Yup.

Taylor was really modest when I told him I liked the show and his drumming. Jerry Cantrell was also pretty cool, he complimented my AIC shirt. And I told Kim Thayil that I was in a band and he told me to make sure I liked my bandmates (which I do) otherwise tours would suck.

[Jred250]

I have Met Beatallica (Not really Famous though) And My uncle has Met Mick Jagger! He saw him in Buckingham, He even went for a swift pint with my Uncle also. Really nice guy apparantly.

[repcak]

hehe... Beatallica... they played last year and the tickets were very cheap,... but didn't go...

[Darkness]

I've met Opeth. :D

[Dave de Sylvia]

I haven't really met many. I've had the chance to meet a few but I'm not really into waiting outside venues, particularly since the last two times I have I was bitterly disappointed. I met Butch Walker and Gilby Clarke briefly and now, coincidentally, they're working on an album together.

[lightningmetal666]

I've met Opeth. :D

You lucky bastard. J/k.

I've gotten to meet the guys from Darkane. I started to **** with them by speaking German when they least expected it. They thought it was awesome.

[Mr. Ron]

I ate luch with Dimebag the other day, oh wait lol

[sonicst0rm]

I've bumped into Bruce springsteen around town and at the beach. He held the door for me once. I've never formally met him, though. bon jovi was my old neighbor but ive never met him either... he had cameras set up around his driveway so u couldn't go near it.

My friends dad is max weinberg, so I bump into him a lot.

hey, u probably go to my school cause jay goes to my school.. funny :amaze: who are u?

[blue3]

I met 3 of the guys from 3 Inches of Blood and hung out with them after a show for like 15 minutes.Same! Except it was before the show and they were the guys selling the shirts. I only got to talk to Cam Pipes and Shane Clark though.

RHCP are in Calgary right now and I know where they're staying and such. Maybe I'll stalk them or something.

[Huber]

I met the guitar player from Gwar, and the bass player (who was a riot). I met Dragonforce. They were awesome dudes. I met Behemoth. It was at a signing and instead of a poster that they give you for free to get signed I brought a copy of Demigod and Nergal looked down at it and said, "This guy bought something!" and they all seemed in awe. I lol'ed. I met In Flames and they were easily the nicest band I've ever met. I met Trivium. Travis and Matt weren't very talkative but at least said thank you, but Corey and Paulo were awesome and said a few kind words.

I think that's it.

[actionfan32]

I met the guitar player from Gwar, and the bass player (who was a riot).
I didn't actually go meet any of the guys from GWAR, but it was pretty sweet when they headed to merch tables at Sounds of the Underground this year. Everybody started chanting "Beefcake, Beefcake, Beefcake!" as he headed to the table and right when he was almost there some girl was all like "Can I touch one of your spikes?!!!" She reached out to touch one of the spikes on his arm and he pulled it back, then she went for one of the ones on his helmet and he pulled his head back and then just went to the table. And he did all of this without saying a word, he just stared at her with no expression on his face :lol: It was actually quite funny, it was one of those "you had to be there" moments.

[heavy metal kid]

Dino Cazares(ex Fear Factory, Brujeria and now Asesino)
The drummer and singer from Malevolent Creation
the drummer from Origin
the singer from Overkill
the drummer from Asesino
kind of met Arch Enemy

Yeah, I don't know their names.

[sr800bkBassist]

Omar Rodriguez

[Moon Flavor]

Well, let's see...I've met the Gathering, Unexpect, and Green Carnation, as well as a slue of other bands that I helped set up for SXSW. I met Opeth and SYL at a meet+greet for SOTU. Chatted with Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity as well as Anders Jivarp for quite a while after their awesome show here in Chicago...very cool guys! Met and had a drum lesson with Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree, who is a really awesome guy and an amazing musician. I've also attended drum clinics and, while there, met:

Steve Gadd
Kenny Aronoff
Greg Bissonnette
Stanton Moore
Virgil Donati.

UNEXPECT?! And to a lesser extent: STEVE GADD?!


*envy*:angry:

The only famousish one I've met is the sax player from Streetlight Manifesto... but past that, bunches of people in bands that are local/national

[rik]

Briefly met Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden.

[gigi666]

I met the bassist from Chimaira and I got my ticket by the bassist from CoB :p. I met the some guy from the kasier chief as well. MAn, a friend of mine went to this sepultura concert in belgium and he missed the last train home so he stayed in this bar the whole night and guess what? The guys from Sepultura and In Flames suddenly just pop up and he got to talk to them etc... Lucky ****

[Det_Nosnip]

I've met Lacuna Coil, got my poster signed, but no picture. :(
Oh yeah, I met them too.

[Det_Nosnip]

UNEXPECT?! And to a lesser extent: STEVE GADD?!


*envy*:angry:


Yep, very cool guys/gal. The violin player was the one who sold me the EP. :)

Gadd was, of course, awesome. Totally laid back, very friendly.

[-Listy-]

Wow you guys have met some amazing people..its not fair :(

Next month Im going to see the Datsuns, Rancid, and Public Enemy so I hope I meet some of them :p.

[misunderstood]

I've met the guys from Nine Inch Nails. They were all pretty damn awesome..especially Trent and Josh Freese. I also once met their previous drummer, Jerome Dillon. Nice guy!

I've also met the lead singer from the band funeral for a friend...wasn't even sure if it was him or not when I went up to him. Oh, and my most recent addition: Blair from toolband.com..Heh, not that he's a rockstar or anything though. Most people won't even know who that is unless they frequent the site.

[Moon Flavor]

Yep, very cool guys/gal. The violin player was the one who sold me the EP. :)

Gadd was, of course, awesome. Totally laid back, very friendly.

Pshh Evereybody knows that gods don't have gender.:rolleyes:

[Det_Nosnip]

Heh. Well, they did if you were an ancient Greek or Roman...and those religions always seemed so much more fun than the ones we have today! :lol:

I've met the guys from Nine Inch Nails. They were all pretty damn awesome..especially Trent and Josh Freese.
Whoa how long has Freese been playing for NIN?


Oh, and my most recent addition: Blair from toolband.com..Heh, not that he's a rockstar or anything though. Most people won't even know who that is unless they frequent the site.
Did you smack him for being a freaking idiot?

[margin0walker]

The closest I've come to meeting a rock star was when I saw Nick Diamond of The Unicorns walking down the street. I took me a while to realize it was him, so when I finally did realize, he was gone. I got my bike and rode around for like 30 minutes trying to find him, but I couldn't. Kinda made me sad.

[FoStringFlo]

I met Tommy Emmanuel once before he played at the MN state fair. Nice guy and definatley the best fingerpicker i've ever seen.

[MeTaLfAcE]

I've met Dragonforce twice, Linkin Park(don't ask. i went to their concert here like 3 years ago and the people working at the venue had people in line to crazy things to get backstage passes so i did), Atreyu(lame, they are all little and untalented), Avenged Sevenfold in 2001 back before all the fame went to their heads and they were still nice, Sloth, Claudio and Travis from Coheed, Kerry King, the singer from Blindside, the singer from Shinedown, the singer from Seether, and Darkest Hour. My friend hung out with Ted Nugent for a couple hours. That must have been some experience.

[Ve Das]

Whoa how long has Freese been playing for NIN?
He'd been touring with the band since last December, I think it was. It was temporary for a while...then he just became the 'permanent' drummer.

Did you smack him for being a freaking idiot?
No, but I did think of it. I should have.:p

[killerfrop]

The guitarist of Oceansize :)

[Det_Nosnip]

He'd been touring with the band since last December, I think it was. It was temporary for a while...then he just became the 'permanent' drummer.
Nice...yeah, Freese is an incredible player. The poor guy must never sleep, though...I can probably name more famous bands that he HASN'T played for in the last 5 years than he has!! :lol:


No, but I did think of it. I should have.:p
Yeah, that guy annoys the crap out of me. Large part of why I rarely go to toolband.com anymore...

[blowpop]

i was just looking through the thread looking for lacuna coil stuff and i saw that some people have met them. im really excited because i will be going to one of their concerts when they come to the states. it will be my very first concert ever and im proud to say it will be lacuna coil lol. im new on this forum. i used to go to www.angelspunishment.net. its a forum for lacuna coil but i wanted to broaden the music im interested in and find a forum with a little bit of everything. i found this one and 'wow' lots of users and lots of different topics. im really interested in this forum!!

[philly96]

I have met no one.:mad:

[Brew]

I've met...

Jerry Only and Dez from The Misfits, both very cool people.

Chris from Fourwaykill, my Dad used to work with him and they met up when we saw Judas Priest + The Scorpions, he was very high/drunk but really cool.

Dave + Vadim from Dragonforce when I was buying my ticket in the box office, Dave even used to post on here which I asked him about.

Most of the people here probably won't know these bands, but I met all of Seregon at a local gig, and my band opened for Cachexic and Sekhmet back in August, both bands were really friendly and helpful which made the gig more relaxing for us (it was our debut)

[Clunge]

Just Steve Wilson from Porcupine Tree.

Great guy though :cool:.

[bebubly]

Just Steve Wilson from Porcupine Tree.

Great guy though :cool:.

he is brilliant. brilliant and scared by me :(

[Clunge]

Hehe, I remember reading your SW tale.

[Ephemeral]

I jammed with Eric Clapton once.

[bebubly]

Hehe, I remember reading your SW tale.

the poor, poor guy :( he was so small and scared.

[Ephemeral]

linkz plz

[sr800bkBassist]

the poor, poor guy :( he was so small and scared.

well, tell us.

[Det_Nosnip]

I jammed with Eric Clapton once.

Whoa...no way!

[Kage]

I met Allen Epley and Jarred Warren.

I punched the latter in the face, though.

[AnyColour74]

I jammed with Eric Clapton once.

really? :confused:

[Moses]

I've met Symphony X and dredg.

I've met others too but I can't remember.

[Pg.99]

I have met This Bike is a Pipe Bomb.... It was awesome, then we had a drink.

[Denny]

i'v met all of Between the Buried and Me like 6 times.
I've spoken with Blake on myspace a few times.
I've met Gob.
MxPx - yeah, dark days...
I dont like Bleeding Through, but I've met them. Nice people, I just dont like 1 chord breakdowns.

[Jon]

I've met like, everyone.

God bless London.

The icing on the cake though was last Thursday at the BBC when we met Sylvain Sylvain & David Johansen.

:D

[pulseczar]

Billy Corgan at a book signing omgomgomgomg so hot

I also used to talk to Dallas Green a bit back when I liked his music. I had him on msn for a while lawl.

[Ephemeral]

I talked to Trevor from Pelican last night.

Then I bought a shirt, cd, and double LP from him. Nice guy.

[Kage]

Everyone has talked to Tervor from Pelican.

[SailAway]

I met megadeth twice, the current line up and when James was on bass. I was surprised at how nice Dave was after all the bad things you hear about him.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Blair from toolband.com..Heh, not that he's a rockstar or anything though. Most people won't even know who that is unless they frequent the site.

How'd you do this? :confused:

I've talked to Adam Jones of Tool on the webz0rz. 'Twas less of an encounter than I'd hope for though...Heh

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

Hmm...I've met the guys from Vanilla Fudge. I've also met Gob, they seemed nice. I've met a few emo bands...The Black Maria, Social Code, and some other band that was too crappy to remember but all the emo kids simply adored. I've played shows with them but never stuck around long enough to watch their set. Both Social Code and The Black Maria acted like they were all that, it was quite sad. And I dunno if you've heard of either of these bands, but Tin Foil Pheonix and The Waking Eyes I've met on multiple occasions. There Winnipeg Bands, but they got quite a following in some Canadian cities.

And I saw Burton Cummings of The Guess Who at Long and McQuade (music store) once! That was probably my favorite, but I didn't have the guts to talk to him. He probably wouldn't want that kind of attention anyway.

[Josh]

i met Sam Totman from DragonForce in the street near the venue where i was going to see them, he was wandering round really hung-over looking for an off-license, which was fairly funny. he was pretty cool and down-to-earth.

[misunderstood]

How'd you do this? :confused:

I've talked to Adam Jones of Tool on the webz0rz. 'Twas less of an encounter than I'd hope for though...Heh

He was at the Isis show having a couple of drinks when they stopped by in Austin a few weeks ago.

[Ephemeral]

Everyone has talked to Tervor from Pelican.

I wasn't aware that there was a member named Tervor.

[bebubly]

Good going! Pointing out slight typographical errors rather than addressing what's actually being said, a tried and true argument technique!

I'm not sure I'd want to talk to him...I just wouldn't really know what to ask; "So how's that Nordic weather?" "Your current sideproject going well? Sorry, what's it called again, I can't really keep up." "So you uh, get many groupies?"

:p

I met the drummer from my favourite band, Powderfinger. :smoke:

It was at a Bernard Fanning concert. I tapped him on the shoulder and meekly asked if I could shake his hand. Then after the show I took his empty bottle of Boags (beer) and have it now sitting delighfully on my bedroom shelf :chug:
