Encounters with musicians

>saw nine inch nails and david bowie during bowies Earthling tour
>get pushed to front of crowd
>bowie staring at me for a good 10 seconds

not even a bowie fan but that was interesting.

I got the feel that he viewed the crowd like you and i view zoo animals.

Oh well I tried. Yeah it must be a bit like that.

Dave Navarro looked at me for a few seconds, then smiled, and I'm not even a hot porn star
Daniel Johns came by the studio I was working at and asked me how I was while pouring himself a glass of orange juice.
I talked with one of the guys from The Necks about his car.
Amanda Palmer walked passed me and stared at me with those freaky drawn on eyebrows and that open fishmouth

Marc Riley helped me get over a bereavement yet despite this I think radio 6 should probably be shut down.

MC ride stared at me a couple times during a show

These all sound uninteresting and bland. Get out.

Did sound at a milo show. Went off without a hitch, he didn't act as obnoxious as everyone on this board says.

Anton Newcombe called me a fucking cunt on Youtube once

He also stared me down at one of his shows. I think it was because I was wearing a Screamadelica shirt but I'm not sure. I know him and Bobby Gillespie are mates.

>Thats more interesting, have u had sex with him?

Im all fucked up, sorry for greentexting it

Nigga you've never posted anything worth reading, kys.

Pete Townshend stared at me and I'm not even underage

i think your trip name looks bland and uninteresting, because of that i think the only logical solution is that you should politely leave and maybe come back in like a week. maybe in that week you should think about your trip name and why you have a trip and what you could do to improve your trip name.

I met Jeff Mangum and Scott Spillane at a concert a while ago, I went with my girlfriend. When we approached them Jeff looked at me then at my girlfriend and said "The fuck you doing with this stupid cunt? Get with this dick or get raped you whore.", I was completely shocked and didn't know if he was joking so I stood in silence just not sure of what to say. Then a voice was heard from behind him "Oh Mangum you found another goofball?", "Yeah Scott , this one looks like a complete dick head, his girlfriend is pretty banging though, I'd fuck her asshole", "Oh yeah, maybe we should fill his girlfriend ass with goofballs so she'd know how much of a goofball he is". Right at that moment Jeff jumped on my girlfriend and pulled her pants down, I tried to stop him but Scott jumped on me and held me down he started whispering in my ear "She's going to get the goofballs and you aint going to do nothing about it!", I watched on in horror as my girlfriend stared at me in the eyes as Jeff Mangum undressed her and rammed his fingers up her ass, she was trying to scream but Jeff just kept pushing her head down. Jeff looked at me and mouthed the word "Goofball", It was like a silent movie, I watched as Jeff then proceeded to pull out his testicles and forcibly push them into her anus with his hands. Scott who was still holding me down started to squeal into my ear "She's getting the goofballs", he started to twist my nipple as far as it could go, and I could feel blood trickling from it onto my shirt, I felt what I can assume was Scott's boner pushing into my back... I blacked out.

I was completely wasted at have a nice life's last show and hugged dan and tim outside the venue and confessed my love i've had for them since highschool 6 years ago.

tims pretty short
it was a great experience

I filled up my pickup next to ANOTHONY B one time. He and his entourage were in a landrover

You're literally a faggot and in no position to be criticizing the choices of another human being, kys

ODB tried to slip my dad a hundred to open up the bar in his beach hotel past legal alcohol selling hours because he wanted a bottle of Hennessy in the middle of the night. Late 90s I think. My dad wouldn't do it.

In DC early 2000s Tori Amos talked to me and a couple other people in for a good thirty minutes about all kinds of random shit on the street until someone popped out of the bus to tell her they wanted to go eat. Talked to us like we were all old friends and hugged us all, crazy friendly. She did bogart the convo though.

>be me in LA art school, eighties
>waiting for elelator

>John Mellencap
>*gulp*
>"whatcha waitin for boy"

>"sorry if you're a jew or whatever man, im just saying they f**king got everything"
>his voice is so raspy it sounds like he smoked a million cigarettes and ate a sandpaper sandwich for brunch

>he never got off

>wonder if he was just riding the elelator all day trying to talk to strangers

classic cougster

I saw Lil Peep at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

you got couged

weird, i had the same experience but with Brian Eno

Saw Rob Zombie at Soundwave in Sydney in some year I don't remember.
Some time during his set, he jumped off stage to get closer to the audience, then jumped onto the barricade.
Everyone was trying to reach out to him, so he grabbed onto someones arm in the front row and sang to them to stabilize himself until he got down.
That person was me, which was what actually got me into his music. Turns out he's a pretty cool guy in general

I was in a local healthy/expensive type supermarket here in Grand Rapids, Michigan (we have a lot of those) and I'm in line to buy some ham at the deli there. The lady asked me what kind, and I said "I have no fucking idea what different kinds of ham there are, lady" ENTIRELY too loudly and the guy behind me in line I hadn't noticed burst the hell up laughing.

I turn around. Dennis DeYoung.

He kinda half leans around me and says "Honey glazed!" to the lady over the counter and I just kinda stare at him for a sec then smile and say thanks. I'm about to pay for it and he says "No way this one's on me" and pays the check for it right there. I was astounded, it was so awesome that I said the only thing I could think of... "Domo Origato". Once again he cracks up and asked me if I had any idea how long it had been since someone said that. I said "a year?" he said "try ten".

We ended up having coffee at a place across the street. Turns out he bought a house in Monticeto, a really expensive residential area in SB, and has been living there for a while. We talked about everything that wasn't his career for 45 minutes before he had to take off because his deli stuff was gonna go bad. I shook his hand and said he made my year today. He smiled and beat my head in with a tire iron. I looked up from the floor, my eyes covered in my own blood as I made out a blurry image of an anvil being hoisted above his head. Through the ringing in my ears I couldn't hear his probably horrible falsetto before the anvil came crashing down, ending my life.

Lorde held my hand and sang to me at a festival. She was looking in my eyes and everything. I know it's dumb to fall in love with a pop musician but she's really something else

I was peeing in a urinal when Jello Biafra came in and stood beside me, I tried to see what size he was but didn’t get a glimpse for fear of looking weird

I saw Maynard at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face.

Kek

This could've been such an interesting thread but memes

I hate when that happens
At least Two Headed Boy is cool live

Not so much dumb as it is pathetic

I saw Grimes at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

>I think radio 6 should probably be shut down
Why user? What uk radio would you recommend instead?

That sounds wonderful.

Dan deserves hugs.

I know he’s an arsehole, but replying to trips only encourages them. He probably likes being called out because it’s better than nothing.

Chris and Russell are on Xfm but they're not on my TV scanner , huh. Kerrang Johnny Doom show.

At the end of a Swans gig Gira was doing a meet and greet, so I formed the line to get my vinyl signed. I was starstruck as fuck cause the dude is like 6'4'', 63, had just played a 3 hour concert, and looked like he had never been tired in his life. I got over my bullshit and talked to him. He was surprisingly humble, and really personable. Told him how much his music mattered to me, and he seemed to really appreciate it. I didn't wanna bother the people in the line so I just shook his hand then left.

Its one of the few times that meeting someone you admire actually ends with you liking them more than what you did before.

Talked to Open Mike Eagle for a bit about his stay in Amsterdam.

Had to explain to Thor Harris that Dutch people don't carry sharpies everywhere they go.

Unknowingly bought merch and talked shit with one of the guys from The Body thinking he was the merch guy.

I met John Lennon in the 80s and he kept winking at me and telling me to calm down mate and so I pop a cap in his ass.

Faul is next. Long live Rongo

I met Peter Maxwell Davies (not like you plebs know who that is but he's literally a CBE so that just makes you uneducated) at a university lecture where he was talking about some music he wrote. Afterwards I tried to ask him some questions but he just kept passive aggressively trying to point out how few people attended and how many more people attend at other universities. He was pretty unfriendly and I was entirely unsympathetic when he died shortly afterwards.

Another one for the /classical/ lads itt. One time after a Louis Andriessen concert I was talking with a friend about the concert and I opined that a certain pizzicato section sounded like it belonged in a Pixar soundtrack and just that moment I turned around and noticed that Mr. Andriessen was taking the same bus as me. I'm pretty sure I said it loudly enough that he heard because he got on after me me and he stood at the front by the driver like a complete beta even though there were plenty of seats left.

gets me every time
the patrician's electrical infetterence copypasta

Lol!

>you know you've been here too long if you automatically default to green text
>oh wait...shit

I met Buzz Osborne before a Melvins show and even got a photo with him. As a teen pleb, I smiled like a gimp. He gave a shocked and horrified expression. I still have this photo today

Saw Sebadoh at a small venue in Boston like 5 or 6 years ago. Bought a shirt and asked Lou if he'd mind signing it, he was more surprised than anything and signed it in block letters. His wife took a picture of him signing it with me in the background that ended up on their Facebook. Dudes a really nice guy, I've seen Dinosaur Jr a few times and he seems so much more withdrawn than when he's onstage with Sebadoh.

Also saw Boris this Halloween in Boston, bumped into Wata and her kid leaving a pho place next to the venue. We both apologized at the same time.

I met Mac in SF before one of his shows while on his second albums tour. He was a cool guy. He seemed a little uncomfortable by my presence tho.

I met Julian Casablancas at Amoeba records. I literally froze up and couldn't say anything. He was looking at me like he wanted to fuck me. It was the gayest I've ever felt in my life. The ehile day after i was questioning my sexuality.

A friend and I met one of the guy's from the Mountain goats. My friend asked for a picture and he got shut down. It was pretty funny because both of them are super awkward and not very social it seemed.

He's like that kid who never reported his bullies because at least he got some attention out of it

Had a cigarette with the guys from Viet Cong, right when they released Preoccupations. They were all kinda tipsy, and really nice. A little immature, or maybe just hyper, especially considering how serious their music tends to sound.

I also hung out with Machine Girl after a basement gig in Boston. His show was trash 'cause the speakers were so blown, he even apologized for it. He was the nicest guy, really calm and kinda slow.

Seems musicians often contrast heavily with their actual music.

I saw Danny Brown at a Manchester show. When he walked off stage, he did the whole 'high-five' the crowd thing as he was walking. When he got to me, we kept trying for a good 10 seconds but just kept grabbing each other's arm.

Then we looked right at each other and just started giggling. It's nice to know that even big-shot rappers spill their spaghetti sometimes.

was he wondering why a three year old was at his show?

Me on the left

Hi, I'm Crazium, I feel the need to have the users of an anonymous imageboard recognize me by my posts, and be aware of my presence on this board.
Crazy, huh? Well I guess you could say that's where I got my name from.
But wait, it doesn't stop there! I get pissed when peoanple impersonate me! How could such cretins drag my good pseudonym through the dirt like that?
Now, you may ask, why should this bother me? There's nothing connecting this alias to my real person, right? So it's not as if these dastardly internet trolls are actually defaming me? Well that's where you're wrong kiddo.
You see, I have such a pathetic fucking life in real life, that I use a name on anonymous board in order to make me feel important, feel like a big fish in a small pond, a beacon in a sea of faceless drones. So when people here recognize my posts under this moniker, for the first time in my sad excuse for a life, I feel as though my existence is being validated.
Do you understand now? Do you see how important the integrity of my online identity is to my wellbeing? Can you fathom the detrimental impact that impersonating me and making me out to be some undesirable has on my wellbeing?
Would you be so kind as to cease and desist?
Thank you.

PS, I have an adult baby diaper fetish and unironically watch MLP.

I shook Devin Townsend's hand. He has very soft, silky smooth hands.

I shared a joint at a urinal with Dave from Neurosis. Had my photo taken with Kathleen from Bikini Kill and she looked like she wanted to vomit. That's all I got.

Did the same but I got so starstruck i didnt know what to say. Mumbled words along the lines of "great performance man" and shook his hand and he gave me an appreciative smile. Could've been alot worse i guess, but i didnt get to tell him how much his music means to me etc.

I talked to Will Toledo and Andrew Katz in downtown Milwaukee during Summerfest 50. That was pretty cool.

I saw Swans wearing a Sunn O))) shirt. when I was getting Michael Gira to sign my record he asked me "you like those amps huh?". all I could say was some mom's spaghetti shit

...

kek. There will be other Swan gigs, hopefully.

He was real nice to me. And he seemed legitimately grateful that I appreciated his work so much. Mad respect for Gira.

this pasta could be improved

Yeah, had a similar experience, approached him with the same way really, just wanted to get my record signed and shake hands. Took a photo with him later on, it meant a lot to me.

Never met anyone big.
Had a conversation with Colin Eeckhout from Amenra. Really nice guy, humble. Noticed he was covered in scars. Met Ethan from Primitive Man, also a great dude, along with the guys from Gaza/ Cult Leader.

Dragged into Sunlight's drummer talked to my friend and I after a show for about half an hour or so as well. He was pretty grateful we drove so far to catch them live. Smart guy.

Saw Danny in Spokane a few weeks after Atrocity Exhibition dropped and it was easily the best hip hop show I've attended. After a mosh my friends and I ended up going from the 6th row to the second so I put my friend on my shoulders and Danny looked and laughed at him for a few seconds. His setlist didn't include Get Hi, which I found interesting because he references Spokane in it. He also didn't do Ain't it Funny, the best track off AE.

-met Tom Verlaine before a Television gig. He was pretty sarcastic. I asked if they had plans to get back in the studio and he said something vague about how the had a few old songs they never recorded.
-met Michael Gira, like a lot of people here. He complimented me on my Germs shirt and said how he had a first pressing of GI or something.
-met the vocalist from Youth Code at a merch table. somebody kept trying to get pictures with her and she seemed annoyed.
-met the drummer from Bell Witch and the vocalist from Primitive Man when they played together. cool guys, though the bassist from Bell Witch seemed kinda sad.

Other than that I'm generally first row at every show so I've had fun interactions with bands.
-Mike Hadreas from Perfume Genius kept twerking in my face through the whole show
-David Yow from Jesus Lizard bear hugged me and tried to get me to boost him over the crowd. He was sweaty and smelled like shit and also had diarrhea, as he told the crowd beforehand
-Jacob Bannon from Converge crouched down, held the mic to me and tried to get me to sing along. Didn't know the words so I just awkwardly mouthed some bs
-the frontman from Eyehategod hit me in the hid with his mic stand
-Greg Puciato from Dillinger Escape Plan climbed up into a balcony on their last show and dive bombed into the crowd, which kinda fucked up my hand
+more that I can't recall atm
