Meat & greet!

 

[Dead_Lioness]

will the meat be collectable though?????

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Only the VIP meat. You don't want to see the standard meat.

 

[reese_apoc]

Collectible.. for as long as your digestive systems digests it. that's its collectible going rate.

yeah i don't get backstage or hanging out either. If they are cool dudes and want to hang out, bullshit and shoot the shit, it's cool, but usually they are all tired and just want to talk with each other, and there's really no point for anyone to be hanging out.

It's cool if they are staying the night and then you meet them the next day and show them the city you live in, I've done that a few times and it's fun, especially if they are interested.

I actually went into the bus of SYL and DT in 2002 or 2003 or something, because my teen neighbor I always drove around to shows because I was a nice guy went to hang out with DT and I couldn't leave without her.

So I sat 25 minutes uncomfortably next to the fat keyboardist of DT, had nothing to talk with them about, other than stupid chit chat, then let devy use my lighter that he never returned, watched him take a bong hit and then microwave a pretzel and go to bed.

cool story bro

I hung out with Dev 1 on 1 and had a nice talk with him about uh, life and mostly non-music related topics. He smoked and talked about some personal shit. It wasn't weird or anything but he came across as a guy really fucking tired and depressed for some reason. Of course this was back in 2002 if I remember correctly, and he is better now. He is my favorite musician and always will be. He writes music that other people can''t even dream of. His Infinity record is the single best display of song writing genius I have ever heard on any album in any genre of music ever. All of his albums are absolutely flawless except for Synchestra which was kind of shitty and half of Ki, which was also rather bland.

[Will Bozarth]

now, send that to Devy and tell him to use that as his upcoming setlists

 

[reese_apoc]

He'd have to have an intermission in the middle of that whole thing if he did.

 

[Will Bozarth]

nope

 

[El Stormo]

Intermission? It's not dago dancing class!

 

[azal]

I don't know if I'd be able to live through that setlist.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

LOL the backstage thing is kind of overrated. Like Karen said, unless you know them in some way shape or form it gets old fast.
I have a buddy who is all about the backstage and getting band autographs, he is a bit old for this type of behaviour. NOT WILL.
Anyway, he constantly emails me pictures of the people he stalks and they always look uncomfortable in the pictures. He once sent me this picture of him and Steven Seagal. Seagal was eating at some restuarant and my buddy was bascially hanging across the table (and over Steve's food ) to be in the picture with him. Seagal looked sooooooo uncomfortable like, "if this guy wasn't a fan I would have snap his arm in half and twisted his neck backwards already."

Oh and all of the pictures of him with FEMALE musicians...poor girls. He might as well be jerking off onto them in the pictures.

 

[Will Bozarth]

ugh. DON'T BOTHER THEM WHEN THEY'RE EATING!!! wait until he's DONE eating.

 

[El Stormo]

ugh. DON'T BOTHER THEM WHEN THEY'RE EATING!!! wait until he's DONE eating.

Don't bother them at all.

 

[Captain Beard]

Since they embrace media to get noticed, they don't get a no bothering pass. You do, however try to bug them when they're not having a rather personal moment like eating.

I don't know, maybe I'm just a bit too cautious about that sort of thing, but I'd feel like a fool bothering people, even celebrities. We see a lot of celebrities at the airport too (recently, I watched Lady GaGa throw off her fur coat and stride through a metal detector in a skimpy bikini - you decide if that's worth watching or not), but I'd never bother them for a photo or an autograph. It's unprofessional, and I personally think it makes you appear stupid.

 

[Captain Beard]

Well you don't do it on the JOB.

 

[El Stormo]

No, but even then. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm Belgian, and we're famous for our desire to be left the fuck alone, but I'd never bother someone I didn't know. Just me though.

 

[Psychonaut]

What if it was Warrel in the bikini? Would you stop him?
