Hey guys. Thought I'd show you what a fanboy I am and share a few items collected over the years which are most precious.

Did you notice the "y" and the "g"? He handed this to me at a show in Tijuana, Mexico which was being filmed for a home video. I screamed to the stage, "KERRY, GIMME A FUCKIN' PICK MAN!". He bent down and handed that shit right to me.

And my very most precious!!!

Note the razorblade slashes which authenticates the authenticity of this authentic metal treasure. I caught this one in mid-air at the San Diego Sports Arena back in 1990something...

Here's my backdrop for these pics, in case you were wondering -

Anybody else?
 
That kerry king pick looks perfect for me, i have monster fucking hands and sometimes if im using a pick thats too small it slips out. Know where they sell those kinda picks?
 
As a matter of fact, I sorta do. Not many though. I have

Andy LaRoque (King Diamond, he uses purple Dunlop Tortex... heavy!)

Steve Smyth (from Vicious Rumors... some kind of white thingy, Steve gave it to me cause I didn't have a pick one day during our guitar lesson ;) )

Steve DiGorgio (says Sadus on it, though I got it at the Testament show)

uhhh, thats it actually.

like every music store
 
really? Thats weird, they dont have at at the guitar center near my house, nor any other smaller guitar stores, got a website i can buy wholesale or something?
 
I got guitar picks from Andreas Kisser of Sepultura and Steve Vai when he played with David Lee Roth. I also think I got one from Vernon Reid of Living Colour but none of these are signed, I just caught them or found then on the floor. I like getting autographs better, have too many of them too mention such as Nevermore, Alex Skolnick, Sebastian Bach, Bobby Blitz of Overkill, etc...
 
So I printed out pictures of guitarists and taped on their respective picks, and now they're on my wall. I have:

Steven Wilson
Jeff Loomis
Eric Peterson
Steve Smyth (Nevermore, Testament, and Dragonlord)
Rob Cavestany
Peter Lindgren

I had John Wesley's as well, but I ended up giving it to a friend of mine.

Cool idea. Cavestany rules.

I also have pics from Bill Steer, Paul Masvidal of Cynic, and Alex Hellid from Entombed, but they are just green tortex picks.
 
Every now and then guitarists drop picks in the photopit, I could have had a pick collection of just about as much band as I have seen but I prefer handing the picks to some kids in the front row.

Now that I think about it, I don't have any concert memorablia besides my pics...
 
David Ellefson pick from Risk I think
4 or 5 different Scott Ian picks from 2004
Jim Shepparrd's pick
Gary Holt's pick
2 or 3 Alex Skolnick picks
2 Eric Peterson
Chuck Billy
