What was the closest you ever came to an Artist?

what was the closest you ever came to an Artist?

Saw James Hetfield at my local Safeway..
High fived Sammy Hagar at a local bar
Spoke with Gregg Allman for several minutes on morning in Vegas
Chatted with Santana as he strolled down the street one day...

live shows

Saw Nikki Sixxx which was funny cause everyone thought it was some fag dressing like him.
Brad Wilke in the crowd at a show.
John Dolmayan at a local food place and back stage somewhere.
Chester Bennington in the Hallway at a venue.
J and Sera from Ides of Gemini.
Boris at Psychofest, wanted a picture but I went alone.
Pepper from Down

All I want is Phil Anselmo to call me a spic.

I had dinner with Mitch Harris of Napalm Death.

Dated one famous local (Polish) singer back in the day, didn't work out. AFAIK he still isn't open about being gay, so it's weird.

I touched Alice Glass's butt in high school

I fucked Britty Drake when she was still in Pity Sex

shook hands with mikael stanne

I dated Cuomo's gf

So you're basically one out of the millions of creepy guys that grabbed her ass during shows? Wow dude she fucking hates you.

lol

Got to hang out with prime Britney Spears backstage before a show back in the early 00s

Left Eye from TLC would always shop at the grocery store in my hometown when she was dating a Browns player

Khloe Kardashian is dating a Cavs player and works out my gym in Cleveland whenever she is around, not a musician but a lot rappers have been in that

Kek dude probably wrote songs about you.

bullshit

I met yo yo ma twice when I was a kid cuz my mom was like his physical therapist back in the day.

Met and took a picture with Tom Morello at a solo show he did
Met Jared Leto and the rest of 30stm when they toured with Linkin Park and AFI
Met Claudio Sanchez
Saw travis barker in a bar
Finally saw Brandon Flowers at a poker tournament

>Looked MC Ride in the eye at a concert

A friend of mine has a pretty funny story though
>bought tickets to see Ty Segall
>dark outside, can't find the venue, phone is dead
>decides to ask a stranger for directions
>only halfway through he realises he's asking Ty Segall how to get to his concert

every human is an artist

that's a good revenge

being one

I have a pic of Will Toledo with his arms around the shoulders of my friend and I. It was at P4K. I also got an autograph from him and Ethan Ives, and had an awkward conversation.

V-Vegas?

My aunt was Flowers' housekeeper for awhile but got fired cause the mum was jealous that the kids preferred her.

My friend's band opened for Alex G in Hamilton and I hung out w/ the band for the night because they stayed at her place. Pretty cool dudes. We just ate pizza and played GTA San Andreas and talked.

Noone big extra close but I've met and spoken to a lot of smaller ones at shows its pretty common. Normally if they're small enough they'll be manning their own merch stand at the end of the show and you can meet them.

I also met the washboard player from Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs at a festival and felt his sock.

i edged on bjork, that was the closest

I was in the pit and about 10 feet away from Florence Welch during one of her shows that few months ago

I was on shrooms at the time and deluded myself into thinking we made a real connection and now I'm in love with her

One time I saw Rick Rubin at a hotel and spaghetti'd out and started screaming. He didn't seem to notice.

met muse bassist when i was 15 in japan, took a photo he didn't like it
showed cat power my tattoo, she acted like she gave a shit
met david mitchell (peep show) at edinburgh fringe and asked for an autograph he basically told me to fuck off in different words
told barry from mogwai he looked like derren brown (which he does) and he showed me a trick with a cigarette

I met Andrew W.K. at a seminar once. Dude is as nice in person as his marketers make him out to be.

Met Kim Gordon and Mike Watt at a Sonic Youth/fIREHOSE show years ago. They bought me a beer. Mike Watt was cool as fuck. Kim kind of quiet and intimidating.

Met Cevin Key (Skinny Puppy) in W. Germany. Asked him to play First Aid. Last song they played.

Partied with Hed (p.e.) on their tour bus.

Had Wayne Static screw whores in a hotel room next to mine. He freaked my gf out before we got there. Wasn't surprised when he died.

hardly, most are just expressional
being an artist is an occupation
an occupation pays

Shook Chris Connelly's hand once after an acoustic show he did in Denver.

>partying with Hed (p.e.)
That's hilarious.

was in the same club as an underground rapper in my country

I walked Bob Dylan on stage in 1975.

>listening to Nobel Prize laureates

fuck off grandpa

who the fuck are you

Walked by this dude in a mall once. I had long hair and was wearing a Blind Guardian t-shirt, so he kinda looked me weirdly as I walked past him, like I should know him, but I had no idea he'd be in the mall that day so I assumed he was just some random headbanger and kept going on my way.
I heard he's not really nice to fans so I don't even regret it 2bh.

I met David Byrne in New York he was very sweet

I was an extra in Coheed's music video. Got to meet the band afterwards and get some photos and stuff signed. Shit was cash.

>Met Belle and Sebastian at a festival
>Met the singer from the Chills at a festival
>Saw Roy Wood in my local Specsavers
That's about it

I missed my fav music-oriented snob little guy.

How's it going, pal? NYC seems such an anatomically correct place 4 ya

Had Nathan Williams land on me when stage diving off of a balcony, I thought I was going to die desu but I guess that's chill.

Played super smash bros with CHON while they were touring last year.

Almost touched NAO who is a goddess to me and still feel blessed.

>an occupation pays

That would be an artisan

Saw a local pop rock singer in a café a year before he died. I would've asked for an autograph if I knew that he's gonna die so soon tbqh famo.
(I'm from Latvia btw)

The lead of this punk band I like hugged me

and also pic related

>left eye

Andre Rison. Believe they were married and she burnt down his house.

>khloe kardashian

Tristan Thompson is the cav

Met everyone from Obituary when they had a meet and greet
Met Sean from AJJ two times when they played here
Met Joakim Broden from Sabton at a festival
Met John Allan from Steel Attack a couple of time (he's my dad's friend)

>bumped into MC Ride incognito at his own show
>talked to Michael Gira the last couple times they've come to Dallas, signed my pic related
>met Wata, found out she doesn't speak English (lol)

Oh yeah and I talked to Olivia Block after a show she did here and completely spilled my spaghetti like a stuttering faggot. A lot prettier than you think she is. Oh well.

I fingered grimes

I lived inside the body of one for a while...

>Be at the front of a King Parrot concert
>Shit on the Liver playing
>Youngy, the vocalist bends down right into my face and screams me the lyrics as I scream them right back
>He jumps into the crowd and his balls land on my face

grindcores 4 fckn fags

I tickled Euronymous (with my knives)

nah senpai, an artist is culturally relevant
an artisan make stuff like handcrafted tables

>I'm calling the police you fucking weirdo
But user... I am the police...

>met Wata, found out she doesn't speak English
Did you still talk to her? And if so what was she like?

Emeli Sandé was a friend of the family and we used to play together when I was a very young child.

I once annoyed the vocalist of a local post-hardcore emo band by singing the lyrics of one of their songs every single time I met him during a 4 day festival.
I sang it to him while he was taking a shit in a portapotty once.
It's alright, because someone sung the entirety of that evanescence wake me up song into my toilet while I was shitting as well.

do you live in sf, can i come over

I went on a date with Taylor Swith a couple of years back

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?

Not really; very nice.

*handshake*
"Thanks for coming, the show was fantastic!"
>Thank youuuuuu!!! ^_^

I saw Rivers Cuomo in a Starbucks by where I live (Baltimore). I waved at him like an autist but he smiled and waved back so that was cool.

My band opened for The Used, Plain White Ts, and The Hush Sound (3 different shows). Our original bass player was also the brother of the original bassist of the Plain White Ts (who I think make bad music).

We were a power pop/alternative band in the Chicago are circa 2004-2010.

>spent the weekend with a photographer friend of mine
>went to a casino where Imogen Heap was performing
>chilled outside with friend's fiance, while friend actually got to talk to her

what tattoo?

which cigarette trick?

I sat front row at a Muse concert last year

this is almost definately a lie

Did he lay down on his back and made you squat your firm boy-ass over his face and release a concoction of gas and spunk onto his angelic face afterwards?

What the fuck

I met Dev Chan after a DIIV show in Pittsburgh. He was a super chill dude.

I was onstage with Jeff Rosenstock last night when he did a minor threat set

I met Calvin Johnson at one of his shows.

I saw Deaner last week and the Meat Puppets at a small show too but I didn't get to meet them.

Talked to Mono after a show and asked them if they wanted to go to a bar but they had to leave too early the next day. Said hi tu kurt Vile after a show, he drew a sketch of a guy sticking a needle into his head in a notebook I had with me, what a cool guy.
Took a pic with Theresa from Warpaint after their gig, I was drunk as hell and asked if I could travel with them to the next city, of course she declined lol. Talked to the guitarist of Perfect Pussy after a show, super friendly dude.
That's the most well-known musicians I met

Was at the Death Grips show in Brighton recently and spent the whole time closer than arm's length to Ride.

>tfw I was covered in his spit and sweat and touched his forearm

don't worry user i got the joke

I shook hands with Daveed and the Crew after a very cmall clipping. concert. Shit was dope.

>pit
>Florence Welch

why would there be a pit at a Florence show?

had breakfast with James Valentine and his (now ex-)gf who was a friend of mine. We went back to his house and he showed my his vinyl collection and home studio

...

oh, i also smoked with Waka Flaka Flame one time at the Cannabis Cup. that was neat.

I said hi to Nick Thorburn and Islands after they played a little show in town, they were very nice. Dan Deacon signed my copy of America and complimented my outfit. I shook Michael Gira's hand after a Swans show, but I could tell he knew I'm a faggot beta male. He was wearing the big cowboy hat and everything. It was the most embarrassing experience of my life

I met Jeff Mangum after a show and he signed my album for me. He didn't really say anything and I was too shy to say much other than 'thank you.' He was really sweet though, I just feel bad for ambushing the guy since he obviously didn't want to be bothered.

because people want to get close to the stage? I imagine there's a pit at any concert, really. All you need is standing space and people to fill it

Hugged Strand of Oaks singer, shook hands with First Aid Kit ladies, spoke with Breton guys, spend a festival with guitarist of pretty unknown band Fjord plus just live shows

Was at the Kanye West show he left early and he jumped off the stage and preformed right in front of me at the barrier, he grabbed my hand for a minute it was pretty great desu

I talked about hockey and basketball with Deakin and Geo one time.

i've met some musicians after their show, but the time i treasure the most is when i shook Edgar Froese's hand, he also signed my copy of Zeit for me and someone even took a picture of that moment.

If I could meet an artist I would probably either tell them "Thanks for creating X Song/Album"

alternatively:
ignore them because their music sucks and they deserve no attention

I've shaken hands with & chatted with Julian & Scott of NMH (I'm FB friends with Jeremy), also FB friends with Robert Schneider.

Stood by Paul Simon while he performed an acoustic set for a crowd in a venue lobby.

>tfw everyone ITT meeting all these famous musicians and I've never even been to a notable concert
I fucking hate Alberta even fucking Godspeed stays away from this shithole

one time i waved to bjork in a bar when she was with some dude, she smiled and waved back

I met Courtney Love and helped her dispose of some 'stuff' back in the 90's.
