Members Highway_61 Posted October 26, 2007 Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 the time i met beyonce i was working for fun with my uncle who owns a sound company. they were hauling things that i couldn't have lifted (13 at the time) and he told me i could play my music through the soundboard. so i hooked my mp3 up and put on heartbreaker by zeppelin. then about 2 minutes later my uncle comes in because he wants to act like he gives a {censored} about beyonce, and he introduces me to her and i act all nice and tell her i'm a fan so i skip a song forward to living loving maid and then she says "ugggggggghhhh, will you stop playing your music" and at that point i got mad and said "only if you'll stop making yours" true story. I give you my heartfelt gratitude for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shoremac Posted October 26, 2007 Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 I've met a number of bands in the past, but the one that sticks in my mind is meeting Dream Theater. The whole band was really nice, and it was really cool chatting with Mike Portnoy, and Derek Sherinian.I've also exchanged e-mails with Steve Jobs before.Edit: How can I forget, when I was a kid I met Sargent Slaughter, and Lou Pinella! I have an autographed baseball and glove from Lou, and a cool picture with Sarge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeffrey Posted October 26, 2007 Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 We met the guys from Machinehead last summer in London. They were staying in our hotel (Royal Lancaster). We caught the show at Wembley w/ Metallica earlier in the day. They gave us T-shirts, guitar picks and backstage passes to the Denver show (a couple of weeks ago). I met Joni Mitchell in Denver, one of my heroes, and Jackson Browne in Los Angeles a few years ago. During my last sabbatic leave, I worked in the post production department at Warner Brothers in Burbank and met dozens of famous non-musicians including Martin Sheen, Drew Carey, and Jennifer Aniston.

Members DaveAronow Posted October 26, 2007 Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 In 1995, I was hired By Brian Johnson to play in a band that he put together as a project away from AC/DC. He didnt sing, but he wrote all the lyrics and melody lines and co produced the songs. We would do all original live shows around florida, and as an encore, Brian would come out and We would do AC/DC covers. It was a preety huge thrill to actually be playing with one of my childhood heros. If he read this he would laugh because of the word hero. He is about the nicest ,most downt to earth, most approachable "star" Ive ever met. His attitude is so cool. So what if Ive sold 100,000,000 records? Im just a regular guy like you or me. I had never seen him get even the slightest bit annoyed when people hounded him for a pic or an interview even in moments when he would have prefered his privacy. Other than that, I have met and jammed with so many famous people that the name dropping gets a little embarassing. I have played in Bands, all over the country for many years and have met, opened for, or jammed with alot of "famous" people. Around 1988-9? Marylin Manson opened up for My band. He wasnt called that at the time. There was no one in the bar at the early time they started playing exept about 5-6 really wierd goth type vampire wannabes sitting at a table in the corner. We all just thought he has a little wierd. Im sure he thought the same thing about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leftwing73 Posted October 26, 2007 Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 James, Kirk and Jason twice. Never met lars and not sad about it. John Marshall (metal Church) Gary Cherone Gregg Bissionette Rich Robinson Steve Gorham The guys in Tesla Robin Zander The fat dudes in the Screaming Trees Some of the guys in Ok Go Tom Keifer Jeff LaBar Literally walked right into Vivian Campbell in front of a hotel Sat next to Eddie Money on his tour bus while he smoked weed and gave me life advice. I used to work for AC/DC's management company, which got me in touch with Brian Johnson and Angus Young. Didn't meet them in person, but talked to them on the phone. Also met and hung out with Jaosn Bonham through that job. I would have jammed with him at an open-jam night at a Philly bar, but i was underage and the guy at the door didn't care who I was with. I still get pissed thining about that one. Got into Alice In Chains dressing room. The guy I was with at the show got hurt by their security so we had to go talk to their manager about insurance. Was eating the catering food with Jerry Cantrell. I mockingly asked "...and you are" to the drummer. I still can't remember his name. Should be meeting the guys in The Cult in a few weeks.
