What famous musicians have you met?
« on: May 27, 2010, 09:27:17 PM »
Famous is entirely subjective I suppose, but you all know what I mean.

I've met:

Serj Tankian, John Petrucci, John Myung, all of the members of Fair to Midland, Vocalist and Guitarist of Warbringer, one of the members of Overkill (Can't remember which) that's all that really comes to mind that's worth mentioning. How about you guys? Who was it best to meet, and if so- worst to meet?

Just amazing.  DT should count their lucky stars that some of their fans are at this level of unconditional cult worship.

I walked past the keyboardist of Within Temptation and slapped his hand. Does that count?

I'm asking.

Also, I've only met Scale the Summit and Bigelf (when they came out to the merch booths on PN09), though I saw Damon Fox without the rest of Bigelf after a Porcupine Tree show last month.

I met Davey Havoc of AFI at the 1998 Warped Tour when I was 13.  I still very much love AFI and his singing, but he is really feminin.  I asked if I could get a picture of him and he did this really gay pose and I asked him to do something different so my two friends got in the picture with him.  I still have this picture on my bulletin board in my basement.

Uh. I've met all of the bands members of Hurt and Futures End on multiple occasions, but they're hardly famous. Oh, and guitarist Gary Hoey.
