Israfel	Date: January 21, 2008 @ 10:07 PM Celebrities, I mean.
Mojosnake	Date: January 21, 2008 @ 10:10 PM met alice cooper once backstage after the show and would you belive he was wearing a pink tshirt and using the cane he was thrashing the monitors with to support himself :ekk: he was really cool though
Opossum	Date: January 22, 2008 @ 9:54 AM Well, my whole family got to meet and talk with Charlie Pride (the country singer) a couple of times a few years ago, the Harlem Globetrotters, Olivia Newton John, and believe it or not, Chubby Checker, and, for some reason I can't quite fathom, he had only done his Twist songs and the Mickey Mouse Club Theme at a park in Brisbane. There are quite a few others, but my memory isn't the best.
Tattoomom	Date: January 22, 2008 @ 10:29 AM Let's see... Lars, James, Kirk and Jason from Metallica (had to sneak into the after party for that one) .... Scott Rockenfield, Mike Wilton and Eddie Jackson from Queensryche(won some kind of contest to this day i think my friend Jeff rigged it) ... Elvira (sat in on a radio spot she did thanks again Jeff) ... Kerry King from Slayer (not the nicest guitar player i've ever met) ... Dave Wayne of Metal Church (i was his first boob signing) ... Stephen Pearcy of Ratt (now THAT'S a funny story) ... Agnostic Front (got to see them in the studio) ... Randy Piper of W.A.S.P. (some kind of kissing i can't quite remember) ... That's all I can remember...though I will be the first to admit there are times when I don't remember everything I did...
Tattoomom	Date: January 22, 2008 @ 10:17 PM Oh my god! I totally forgot about Layne because I don't think of him as a "celebrity". Layne Staley of Alice in Chains! I had a boyfriend who rehearsed in the Music Bank just down from Alice and often we would go and jam or party with them....
evansorchid	Date: January 22, 2008 @ 10:34 PM I met George Takei and Nichelle Nichols at a Star Trek convention that a friend of mine had invited me to. That was a very strange evening. For some reason that I can't explain, folks were excited that Donny Most was there as well.

Distilled1	Date: January 23, 2008 @ 4:01 PM yes we do
Mojosnake	Date: January 23, 2008 @ 4:07 PM see...
Tattoomom	Date: January 23, 2008 @ 4:32 PM I saw Slayer with Anthrax and Overkill in 1986 at the Moore Theatre in Seattle for the Headbanger's Halloween Ball. During the Anthrax set (that's before they got John Bush and turned into a good metal band) I went into the lobby to go to the bathroom. Kerry King was there surrounded by a bunch of people. He says, "show us your tits." Now I have never been the tit-showing kind of fan even though at 19 I had pretty spectacular boobs, but I was one of a select few girls in the 80's who actually went to concerts to hear the music so I responded by saying something like, "fuck you show me yours". Mr. King casually reached up and ripped my shirt down the front...leaving me to watch the rest of the show in my bra and leather jacket. My boyfriend at the time (not Bill) thought it was wonderful but I never did buy a Slayer album after that....

aflunky	Date: January 23, 2008 @ 7:06 PM Nope, I've never met any celebrities before in my life...
GTOriginal	Date: January 23, 2008 @ 7:24 PM A few, but none that I'm proud of.
rhthesinner	Date: January 23, 2008 @ 7:26 PM Chas & Dave!!! They gave me a pickled !
WildasRapids	Date: January 23, 2008 @ 11:39 PM Vince Gill and his band and Elvis Stojko (figure Skater)

Israfel	Date: January 24, 2008 @ 12:27 AM I've met Tom Cruise - shorter than he even looks on tv and just as much of a prick. And I've met Robert Deniro...supremely cool guy...I was speechless.
Tattoomom	Date: January 24, 2008 @ 8:54 AM Nah...it's cool Mojo It's actually a very good story...I wasn't a huge Slayer fan before that so it wasn't really a big let down...and at least my boobs WERE good enough that a famous dude wanted to see them! I can't believe more people didn't want to hear the Stephen Pearcy story....that's a REALLY good one!
Tattoomom	Date: January 24, 2008 @ 8:55 AM ooooh!!! DeNiro!!!!
aflunky	Date: January 24, 2008 @ 10:22 AM OK I LIED!!! ...I met one... ...Or Two... ...I can be modest, can't I?
baiko	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 2:26 AM Max Calavera... one beerwith him, and played basketball 1 on 1... he won...
leedsquietman	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 2:50 AM No-one is a celebrity in my eyes, no-one should get special treatment, getting their asses kissed by sorry loser hangers-on and nobody should rip the shirt off a female without getting arrested, even if the sad f*** can play 10 zillion notes a second. I've met bands who have been totally fine with my attitude, they get tired of stalkers and crazies and people blubbing 'Oh my Gosh, I've got all your records'. I even said to Emma from the Delgados," so are you going to buy me a drink, I paid for this bloody gig and I think I was the only one who enjoyed it, everyone else only came for The Wedding Present" and she just laughed and acquired me a beer ! At the end of the day, they're just people, no matter how much we like their music or acting or whatever.
Opossum	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 3:07 AM That reminds me...Martin Sheen...how could I forget him...He always acts like he's two seconds away from needing to catch a fast train. That's probably relative to the stalker effect, I guess.
imemine	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 3:28 AM I met Kingo from Halaka once!.....and Fanch too.
Tattoomom	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 8:28 AM On 25th Jan 2008, baiko said: Max Calavera... one beerwith him, and played basketball 1 on 1... he won... Interstingly...one time Bill told me that he hated his vocals...said (and I quote)... In my head I sound like Max Cavalera but then when I open my mouth I sound like Barry Manilow.
ShadowMom	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 10:00 AM It is kind of a shock to hear what you sound like to others. I still think there's a little gremlin in the machine that changes my voice and then laughs hysterically... and just to stay on-topic-- If I did, I certainly don't remember it. That might just be blocking, though.
Opossum	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 11:44 AM You weren't supposed to feed them after midnight.
ShadowMom	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 11:48 AM That's the only time my house is quiet enough... and that's always presupposing that the emergency/police helicopters don't need to make a landing one street away... that sort of wubba-wubba noise is devastating, especially when it goes on sometimes for close to an hour. ON-TOPIC!! I got a pre-recorded telephone message from a famous football player... that's as close as I can remember.
rhthesinner	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 11:57 AM I've met a few, other than Chas & Dave. The Boomtown Rats, Ian McNabb (The Icicle Works), Mike Scott (The Waterboys), Scritti Politti, Alex from Hot Chip (didn't know it was him at the time!), Claire Martin, the lovely Harry Hill, one of his badgers who was also the "gay" Teletubbie, Wilko Johnson, Jill Gascoine, Lorraine Mackintosh (Deacon Blue) and the very nice Lee Mead
rhthesinner	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 12:05 PM How could I forget Limahl?! I tripped over him in a nightclub. He was sitting on a step. He's such a short arse that I didn't see him...
aflunky	Date: January 25, 2008 @ 10:54 PM I once meet The guy who owns Dev-Art, the same guy started DM before moving to DA. But if we want to talk about Celebrities, I once met the greatest one of all, Bob Sagget!
Veracohr	Date: January 26, 2008 @ 8:55 PM Not really. The only one I can really say I 'met', as in exchanged words with, isn't even much of a celebrity. Tim Skold, who at the time was in KMFDM (actually under the name MDMFK in that time period), and I think went on to work with Marilyn Manson. He was a really nice guy, we talked music for a little bit. I was an intern at a studio in Seattle when they came in to record some stuff. The frontman, Sascha (I won't even try to spell his last name) was there too, and a girl named Lucia who I think became a regular member of KMFDM right after that, but I didn't talk to either of them. The only exchange I had with Sascha was when he asked me "where's the food book?" (I had no clue what he meant--turns out it was a notebook of menus from nearby restaurants.) And this doesn't count, but it's the next closest thing I can claim. I was working at a movie theatre when Eric Idle (of Monty Python fame) came in to see a movie. I only saw him as he left.
perkie1973	Date: January 27, 2008 @ 5:40 PM 2007 Annie Lennox Macy Gray George Clinton MoNique KEM Tyler Perry 2008 Attended a meet & greet dinner with Angie Stone and Boys II Men on Friday....
Rodrica	Date: January 28, 2008 @ 6:07 AM Status Quo, Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), some members of The Boomtown Rats, Leo Sayer, Chris Rea, briefly Robert Plant (Led Zep), Benny Gallagher (Gallagher & Lyle) and quite a few other actors, session musicians and songwriters. I've always found them to be very gracious, especially when they are approached whilst "off duty" so to speak. I have great respect not only for their achievements, but the way they handle all the intrusions and publicity.
Distilled1	Date: January 28, 2008 @ 12:30 PM OH I forgot one Willie Nelson! now thats one cool down to earth man!
rhthesinner	Date: January 28, 2008 @ 12:31 PM @ Willie!
aflunky	Date: January 30, 2008 @ 6:49 AM C'mon Guys.... BOB SAGGET!!!
billrhynes	Date: January 30, 2008 @ 7:38 AM Bob Sagget rocks
billrhynes	Date: January 30, 2008 @ 7:40 AM I got an email from Beefcake (from GWAR) once...turning down my solicitation to write songs for the band...
rhthesinner	Date: January 30, 2008 @ 7:42 AM Martin Carthy! Last night!
Tattoomom	Date: January 30, 2008 @ 11:47 AM I totally forgot about Stephen Baldwin!!! He was hosting some kind of religious skateboarding tour that came through town a couple of summers ago. My daughter won a custom made skateboard which we found out about last minute and I had to go pick it up from Stephen Baldwin covered in grass from the weedeater. He said, "wow you have grass all over you." I felt better though when he offered to autograph the skateboard for my daughter and she said, "Uh--NO! It's brand new!!!"

hate9wicket	Date: January 30, 2008 @ 10:37 PM Just a brief handshake and a budda-esque bow from Mike Watt after buying a shirt after a show a few years ago... does that count? Which reminds me, The Stooges have a very peculiar rider I'd like to share... http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1004061iggypop1.html

BOWILLIE	Date: February 2, 2008 @ 1:45 PM sure..why not
GeneHilbert	Date: February 2, 2008 @ 5:09 PM I have to relate this story. For those unfamiliar with Atlanta, Buckhead use to be the party strip in town. Much like Duval St. in Key West, the old Combat Zone in Boston or, and River Street in Savannah. However it's all being torn down and refurbished to become what is proposed to be the Rodeo Drive of Hotlanta. (Too Bad) But in its Hay Day it was the shit. So one night while I'm performing in a Buckhead club - who walks in but John Ratzenberger (Cliff from Cheers). So he and a buddy come and sit near to me at the bar... (Go figure) and I'm laying down the licks. So we start talking back and forth throughout the set and he is sending shots of Cuervo to me the on stage (throat tonic – that’s my story). So break time rolls around and we shoot the shit for a while and consume more Cuervo. Now it's time and I get back up for the next set. So John and his buddy get up to leave to check out the sights and sounds of the big city. In leaving he states they'll be back.... So we exchange pleasantries and I continue the show figuring they are gone and this is to become a fond memory and another episode destined for the cutting room floor. Well……… about 20 minutes later the Cheers legend is back. This time for the duration, but now we are seriously throwing the shit down. (Note it’s also the club owner’s birthday….. You see where this is going) So, I'm getting fired up, and laying the music down. The booze is flowing killing the slower brain cell (note the buffalo story). The place is a fucking zoo - I have my wireless on and I'm behind the bar - my fuckin' Les Paul is on fire. So my friends went the night. Finally I quit around 2am and pack up - but the party ain't over. I think….. I say I think we finally parted company close to 4 or 5am - but I really can't be certain.
Gunki	Date: February 5, 2008 @ 5:25 PM Well... Tina Turner - So nice and positive. Donna Summer - A bit magic. Janet Jackson - So shy, She said she liked my crazy outfit. Weather Girls - laughing duo. Jennifer Holliday - And I am telling you... Randy Crawford - so sweet. Max Roach - We drank whiskey at his place. Status Quo, Rossi and Parfitt - gentlemen. Bonnie Tyler - Very personal. Benny Andersson, ABBA - really nice guy. Studs Terkel - Humble and honest in his profession. Dr Don Rose, KFRC - sat in his studio during the morning show in SF.
rhthesinner	Date: February 5, 2008 @ 5:32 PM You forgot at least 1 Gunki!
rhthesinner	Date: February 5, 2008 @ 5:32 PM And Max Roach!
Gunki	Date: February 5, 2008 @ 5:36 PM Sorry RH! I forgot to mention Sara and Amit from The A-Teens, and of course Darin!
