I'm curious as to how you people go about meeting a band (hint hint: Opeth) after a show and talking. I'm assuming you need to know them beforehand?
Meeting up backstage...

- Start date

I'm not sure...but I'd reckon it helps if your a girl, and you've got tits...or that could just be a cliche.
I suggest to leave as soon as the show is over...push and shove your way out if you have to...and find the busses...
Me and my friends saw where the busses were before the In Flames show when they played in Jersey with DT and Sentenced...so as soon as the show was over...we just went to the busses and they were all cool about meeting their fans...got pictures and autographs and talked to Peter and Bjorn...really nice guys....

You guys are quite cliche. It does not help to have tits, but if you know them, that DOES help. Depending on the club and the size of the club, any time they were here, they went out into the club afterward to say hi.

I'm with Squeak on this one. I have never and WOULD NEVER go about meeting a band that way. I have never felt that I HAD to to begin with.

...to stay on topic...yeah, a good way is to get by the buses or show up at the show early (ya never know who is walkin' around) .

Well, over here at the Pound in SF, most of the artists usually come out on the floor to hang out after the show is over, and if you want to meet them, just stick around.
Alright, sounds good guys/girls, thanks . PS I don't plan on miraculously spurting a pair of tits anytime soon, so the rest of the suggestions really hit the spot.

PS I don't plan on miraculously spurting a pair of tits anytime soon, so the rest of the suggestions really hit the spot.Every metal show I goto, I always see the really hot chicks backstage with passes. Also, only chicks get invited back to the busses to hang out, its a common fact. Why do you think every interviewer (webzines, fanzines, zines) in the metal scene is a hot chick, because they are the one's who "know" the bands. There are ways of meeting the guys if you aren't a chick, but its really hard, and some luck is involved. Waiting outside the venue way before the show starts works, as well as right after the show ends. When the opening bandds are playing, the headliners may be walking around, or at the bar. Good Luck.
I'd probably piss in my pants when I do get to "meet" them...as in start having a conversation with any great bands.
I'd probably start making some speech right now if I planned to... (right now... I'm too scared to actually even CONSIDER talking to anyone of them... 
)
I'd get their autograph and run away.

I never really understood all that... Sure, they're well known I guess...
But they're just regular people (for the most part) just doing their job.... which is to entertain you.
They're just doing their job, but you appreciate them for doing their job because it has somehow directly affected you.. I mean as soon as someone released as recording or stars in a movie they're 'famous' you know, haha... and Opeth have to be the most famous underground people right now. But personally I'd like to just talk to em, not as a fan but kind of as another person and just kinda hold a normal discussion that isn't along the lines of 'omgomgomgomg I LOVE YOUR MUSTACHE!'
My mates and I met Burton and Ray from FF, actually I started talking to Burt at a signing (fucking impossible to do these days)and he recognised me at the concert and said Hi, we started talking about shit, music mostly and how the tour had been going, he signed some more stuff for us, he was a fucking champ! He promised to keep an eye out for us at his next concert.
Pitty they broke up, *sigh*.
Talk to 'em like normal people, and try at the very least to get their phone number

Backstage pass? Well I know Chris from Stabbing Westward and he told me he'd set me up with a backstage pass next time their new band passes through here... so I'm assuming you either have to win backstage passes at radio shows or know the band playing, or the promoters or whatnot.

I'd love to meet Opeth. I would dance around and scream frantically like a little school girl
