onewhodreams	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 12:44 PM I've seen Yngwie at the NAMM show a few times, but I would have to say the most influential Artist I have met so far has been Tori Amos her
Dexter	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 12:45 PM pic. While presenting a breakfast show on community radio I was given a ticket to a Mike Scott gig in my hometown. To my and surprise Ian McNabb was in the band! I was more about this than the possibility of interviewing Mike as I've been a fan of Ian's since I bought my first Icicle Works record many ago. I passed the interview duties over to a friend so I could sneak out the front of the pub to hang out with Ian. It was only a few minutes I managed to grab with him but I was grateful for it. He's a down to earth guy and I shall always remember he turned down my offer of a cigarette because he felt his singing voice was ropey enough as it was without causing his chords voluntary harm. No pic to share. Just a memory. TTFN.
Dexter	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 12:47 PM P.S. I meet Chas & Dave backstage at a gig. They gave me a pickled
imemine	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 1:25 PM I worked as a stagehand throughout the 80s in a large coliseum, two theaters and a football stadium for large touring shows. During this time I met many touring bands but one of the most memorable was playing Michael Anthony’s Tabasco bass through a huge ass PA system before the bands sound check. I also met Willie Dixon in a small club that I did some work for 100 years ago and back stage Willie’s son was playing Led Zeppelin on the piano before the show. Oh the irony! Cool pix gothian
killoFunk	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 4:10 PM I got the chance to actually talk to Kim Richey in Atlanta back in 1999. She is a fantastic songwriter and has written quite a few hits that other country artists have cut. She is raw and earthy, unlike the standard nashville cookie-cutter crew. Real good stuff.
gothian	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 5:42 PM A lot of cool stuff here !!. I have another one, some 6 or 7 years ago I went with a friend to a YES concert in Mexico City and found (thanks to a bodygard) John Anderson in the Hotel, he even sat with us in the bar for 3 minutes or so. Cool guy, although I'm not into YES music, my friend was hypnotized.
hueseph	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 7:58 PM "Willie’s son was playing Led Zeppelin on the piano before the show. Oh the irony!" You sure he wasn't playing some of his dads tunes that Zeppelin covered? Almost the entire first ablum and at least two songs on Zep II were Dixon covers. I met Eddie Vedder once but didn't know it. I was travelling across Canada and stopped of at Hamilton during the Canada Day fling and Eddie Vedder and the boys were playing a small club as If I remember correctly "August Frost" or something to that effect. I had no Idea who he was and when my buddy who was travelling with said "hey aren't you Eddie Vedder" I still didn't know who he was. I had just finnished telling this guy how I was sick of hearing Pearl Jam sounding bands. Pearljammians I called them. He invited me to jam with them at the show but when I found out who he was I was just too embarrassed and outright scared to show my face.
imemine	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 8:22 PM hueseph---Duh! Thus ----IRONY! Definitely Zeppelin----I n fact I asked, it was right in the middle of the lawsuit. :
chrismacmanus	Date: October 28, 2004 @ 11:55 AM cool and not-so-cool: I served Donna Summer in a shop I worked in in Long Island a few summers ago, but didn't recognise her 'till she signed her credit card receipt. I met the Levellers after a gig in belfast and had a drink with them. Also met the great guitarman Kelly Joe Phelps after a gig - his talent didn't diffuse my way though
Dexter	Date: October 28, 2004 @ 7:12 PM Levellers are Met them after a gig in my hometown. They gave me a signed copy of their Mouth To Mouth
hueseph	Date: October 28, 2004 @ 7:54 PM OOOOOH. Me so sollee. Me not undastan saclasm.

silverwolf121	Date: November 16, 2004 @ 11:50 AM 16th birthday my sister took me to see Cinderella, got back stage and met them all, got autographs and a drumstick too. Real nice guys.
gothian	Date: November 16, 2004 @ 11:57 AM I remember their songs "Heartbreak Station" and "Coming Home"... cool tracks
Nitemair	Date: November 18, 2004 @ 10:48 PM well i didn't actually meet him, but mick(mik) jagger walked into me at a restaurant out here. didn't say excuse me or nuttin, fuckin asshole.
zedsalt	Date: November 19, 2004 @ 5:06 PM I have a couple photos of Justinother1 and Tiny Tim together; I can't BELIEVE he didn't mention that! I went to afterparties where The Rolling Stones and KISS walked through the dayroom, but I didn't really get to meet them. I talked to Jeff Golub after a Billy Squire show; he was really nice. By far, though, the coolest big-name musicians that I've met were from Athens, GA. Apparently, whatever it is in the water down there that makes for such a concentration of talent also promotes good manners. A couple of the guys from Widespread Panic talked at length with me, even though they were obviously tired. And a college bunky of mine once told Michael Stipes, "You look just like a dude in my neighborhood. He's a f**kin' QUEER!" Now, the "dude" he mentioned was about as queer as a three dollar bill and not an ugly guy...it was just the TONE, y'know? My offensive, drunken bunky wasn't even asked to leave; he was just quickly and gently shuffled away from Mr. Stipes, who laughed the whole thing off. Cool.
tossom	Date: November 20, 2004 @ 5:31 PM Met Bruce Dickinson at the Scottish Download Festival, walked past (about a foot away from me) Frank Black when I was working at T In the Park - didn't realise who he was at the time... Other than that, a Scottish folk artist called Carol Laula took the piss out of me in a recording studio...
Rodrica	Date: November 21, 2004 @ 8:25 AM I've kinda (almost literally in a few cases ) bumped into a couple of members of Status Quo (twice!), Chris Rea, Robert Plant (Led Zep), Nick Mason Floyd), Benny Gallagher (Gallagher & Lyle), the keyboard player in the Boomtown Rats and a few others whose names I didn't know but recognised their faces Trouble is, I'm always too shy to talk to them too much...I'm always afraid they will feel like their privacy is being invaded
Dexter	Date: November 21, 2004 @ 8:36 AM Can't believe that I didn't mention I met Boomtown Rats backstage during their 1985 In The Long Grass tour! They were so nice. Especially Sir Bob ! Got their autographs and chatted. They were joined by Dr. Feelgood's Wilco Johnson who performed a blistering 15 minute encore which included the most amazing version of Riot In Cell Block No.9 I've ever heard! Oh days!
geetarman	Date: November 21, 2004 @ 12:53 PM Met quite a few but the best one was the one I don't remember: I was sitting in a Hilton bar and in walked the Doobie Brothers. They paid the house band to stop playing! I was REALLY impressed with that at the time. They had heard enough music for one night I guess. The guys I was with knew them really well. We sat together and they asked us to party with them in their suite. When we got to the door these amazing looking women were handing out shots of beer and whiskey...after awhile the band disappeared but there was alot of nice women and I had a hangover for a week! I don't remember how I got home
justinother1	Date: November 21, 2004 @ 9:00 PM y'know,zed,i have a couple of pictures of myself and the late,great,Tiny Tim(without a doubt,the best ukelele-ist i've ever met) i've met a few others(Great White,Aldo Nova,half of Cheap Trick,to name a few),but,i'm finding,as i age(not so gracefully)my memory isn't all that it once was.....thanx for reminding me of our epic encounter with Tim(a really nice fellow)
gothian	Date: December 3, 2004 @ 10:39 AM The cool stories keep coming !!!..... but no new pics to share anyone?
freddemillio	Date: December 11, 2004 @ 4:51 PM I've had dinner with Gianna Nanini who is probably unknown in N. America but one of Italy's best known rockers.
Haunted-Hated	Date: December 14, 2004 @ 6:18 PM So far just Joe Satriani
onewhodreams	Date: December 14, 2004 @ 6:43 PM I met Wierd Al and Buddy Guy at NAMM Conventions. I've also met Jane Monheit (Jazz Singer). He isn't a Musician but once when I went to see Tori Amos on the Tonite Show, Jay Leno came out before the show to talk with the audience and I had seen him do this before, so I raised my hand and asked him if he would call Ron at work to say Hi. Jay loves cars and Ron works for Mercedes so he said yes and I got to go sit in "the chair" where all the guests sit next to his desk while he called Ron. It was pretty cool because Ron put him on hold for about 10 minutes and Jay and I the whole time in front of a live audience. My 15 minutes I guess
28steps	Date: December 17, 2004 @ 7:43 PM didnt exactly meet him, but i was 3 feet away from whatever that dudes name is from that crappy badn...i think his name was hammett? something hammett?? i think the band was called craptallica, or sumthing. but ya, i saw him when i was working in the basement of the arena he was having a concert at. it was pretty cool. i think they were the opening act.
gothian	Date: December 20, 2004 @ 10:22 AM Haunted-Hated, So far just JS ????.... are you nuts !!!!, who else would you like to meet after you met him? (just curious) onewhodreams, cool !! 28steps,
GreatGooglyM...	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 3:06 PM That Yngwie pic is so cool! Eventhough Yngwie is pretty fat these days.
furiousBall	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 3:12 PM i saw Tôrd vån dër Gïzzlefærd from the Karate Chop Motherfuckers one night at a club in Philly, he was so drunk he had his balls out of his pants
gothian	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 7:50 PM
mudshadow	Date: January 9, 2005 @ 6:23 PM let's see...some semi-famous people...Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth from Overkill...uh, Dion "Run Around Sue"...no one really famous...uh, Dave Wayne from Metal Church...(who???)... Hey! I actually met Stewart Anderson (Black Angus)...ok, so he's not a musician...I gotta scrape together what I CAN...
jeddak	Date: January 9, 2005 @ 8:20 PM My one encounter with greatness - four years ago, I shook hands with Allan Holdsworth, got his autograph on a cd, and exchanged a few words. Didn't hang out or anything.
leplume	Date: January 30, 2005 @ 2:24 AM I sat next to the lead singer from the Violent Femmes at a play at a local college one time. Um...he kind of smelled bad as I recall it.
-dp-	Date: February 10, 2005 @ 11:58 AM not a musician bey I once met Rhino from Gladiators , I was so so so very excited
chrismacmanus	Date: March 7, 2005 @ 11:43 AM Had the good fortune to meet Kelly Joe Phelps again after his gig in Belfast last night, one truly astounding acoustic blues player. Gigs like that sometimes just make me wanna call it a day and hang up my guitar
SurflessMarty	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 6:37 AM Met John Petruci & John Myung at a Dream Theater gig in London bout 2/3 years ago, met Kirk Hammet at a guitar institute in London, Tairrie B and Megan from My Ruin on numerous ocassions, American Headcharge twice, Killswitch Engage, met the LostProphets (i know, i know) on their first ever uk gig, supporting Kill 2 This, who i also met on the same night. Corey Taylor. Loads more that i cant think of at the moment too.
DaveHall	Date: March 18, 2005 @ 7:57 PM I was at the Namm show awhile back , and my guitarist and I met Neal Schon of Journey. He was in the band Hardline at the time. The funny thing was while we were talking to him, some guy walks up and shakes his hand, and gives him a compliment or two. Thinking we're with Neal, he smiles and shakes our hands like he's really happy to meet us too! Neal looks at us like "Who are these guys?". We got a good laugh and went on our merry little way...
guitarjunkie	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 11:37 AM All five members of Silvertide Nick Hexum and S.A. Martinez of 311 all of them on Connecticut
furiousBall	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 1:45 PM oh and I forgot all about Blake Worthhodgingtonsten, the former percussionist of the Karate Chop Motherfuckers. Old Blakey was playing in an AHL old timers game and dropped the gloves with Frank "The Animal" Bialowas, man Frank tuned him up nicely. In fact, Blake got his ass kicked so badly, his own goal tender slew footed him on the way to go get his leaky beak stitched.
