[ManchesterOrch8]

I met Mark Martin (Nascar driver) when I was like 5, maybe 4. I just remembered it was a Reese's sponsored thing, so I was pretty stoked.

First one I met and actually knew everything that was happening, I think it was the Hawthorne Heights guys at Warped Tour 05.


I also walked next to Travis for probably 45 seconds at the very back of the venue, I just thought it was another kid with a Mohawk, then I just saw out of the corner of my eye him walking behind the gate and into the bus parking lot. I was really pissed I didn't look around more.

[ManchesterOrch8]

Wait, I think Jay Bell (Diamondbacks player) came to my elementary school when I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade to tell us not to chew.




It was gross, they blew up that picture of the woman that looks like her face is melting because she's smoked so much,

I guess he was kind of a dick

[Viva Sonata]

I met Anthony Green and Kenny Vasoli the same night of the tour they did together back when Avalon first came out. Anthony's brother was my social worker at my school for a while, and he introduced the two of us briefly. Kenny was all polite, asking me my name before introducing himself and shaking my hand. What a gentlemen that guy was.

My friend got to sing Fat Lip with Sum 41 during a sound check.

Also Cove from Saosin gave me a hug.

I haven't met any celebrities outside of the music.

[Cameronisonfire]

Darryl Kile..married into my family (later divorced). Dude was my hero for many many years. RIP

Nice. Great pitcher.
Mine was all the Astros when I was 7 or 8 (Bagwell, Biggio, Caminiti, Mike Hampton, Darryl Kile, Shane Reynolds, Luis Gonzales) on Mothers Day. After it I told myself I would never wash my hand again. It's starting to get a tad funky.

[xmicxcorex]

as far as my first meeting with a famous person...I really don't know...having played in a band who has opened several times a month for national bands for the last two years..i have honestly lost track. My favorite meetings though were Matt from MyChildren MyBride or Buddy from Senses Fail (who i always perceived as a dick, but ended up being really really nice)

[stayillogical]

The keyboardist of Bon Jovi came to talk to my music class in middle school. And he complimented me on my piano playing and gave me words of encouragement.

[sleepyseanzzz]

truth. its a shame they wouldnt sell seasons 4-7 on dvd. only 1-3 which i bought, i ended up downloading the torrents of the other four seasons. he seriously teaches you everything you need to know at every stage in your life through young adulthood.

Max Helyer from You Me At Six

[sleepyseanzzz]

first famous person: Derek Jeter at my first ever baseball game in 1996, he signed mine and my brother's baseball bats (it was bat day), I will also say Stacy Keibler at a Monday Night Football game in high school a few years back even though she wasn't my first.

first famous band member: Dan O'Connor from Four Year Strong by his merch tent at the 2008 Warped Tour.

[MattRM]

The singer of Aiden. I don't want to talk about it.

[porttheman]

Claudio from Coheed at '04 warped tour.

[sleepyseanzzz]

oh my gosh. boy meets world is my all time favorite show, where did you find those torrents!? are they good quality!?

i found them on the pirate bay. granted if they were available i would buy them as i did the first three seasons, but dvd sales were down for those seasons which is why the other seasons (when it started getting really good) weren't released. the quality is decent but they are all tv rips so it says disney or abc family on it and half the time it shows on the bottom of the screen abc family 25 days of christmas or halloween specials or harry potter marathons or something.....lionsgate actually purchased the rights to the series in the summer of 2008 so hopefully they will do something about releasing the missing seasons. i was really excited when i heard that someone new purchased it but when a year passed and nothing happened i gave in and downloaded the episodes....they are just something everyone needs to learn from which is why i had to steal it since it wasnt available anywhere and not even on tv anymore.

Win Butler was like "Hey, your name is Vinh and mine is Win" and I was all "Yeah". It was intense.

The first band member wise is Bert from The Used at a meet and greet a few years ago.
And I met Bobby Crosby and Gerald Laird because they went to my high school.

Noooo. I don't know him personally, he was just the first musician I met whose band I actually listened to and enjoyed. I had little or no concept of NFG when I met Cyrus.

[Tautou107]

Mike Bordick, Lance Blankenship, Rickey Henderson, Dennis Eckersley, and a few more I can't remember. I wish I knew what happened to the baseball most of them signed.

As far as musicians go, I met *NSYNC when I was 17. That was pretty amazing haha.

[cuzimlefthanded]

Musician: Teppei Teranishi from Thrice. Saw him with his wife at the Irvine Spectrum here in Irvine (where the band's from). It was the most random/awesome thing, and it was right before Vheissu's release. More recently, I ran into Alex Rodriguez (Saosin's drummer) at a thrift store in Costa Mesa.

Actor: Kate Flannery (plays Meredith in The Office) at John Wayne airport. Being a huge fan of the show, I was fucking stoked.

I heard that another company got a hold of the rights and they're planning on re-releasing the season. I heard this a while back, though..

[rising_tied]

Mannn. I dont even remember the first musician I met that wasnt a local band. Maybe Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park), Ryu Tak and Cheapshot (from Styles of Beyond), BoBo (Cypress Hill), Holly Brook and the drummer Beatdown from the FORT MINOR tour

Cove Reber. He was standing outside near his tour bus.

Other than that, I was at a Hollywood Knights VIP party in Bergen once. I took a picture with Aaron Carter...

[Kurt Retenauer]

Andrew McMahon in 7th grade. Something Corporate/The Rocket Summer tour. Still to this day one of the best nights of my life.

Oh, and I took "the walk" with Hanson. I met all three of them. Such genuinely nice guys, and so chill. They actually went out of their way to meet/talk with fans while walking, rather than staying at the front.

[BlackoutMemory]

The Madden brothers.

[Indoor Living]

Jack's Mannequin/The Fray after their concert this summer. All really nice guys from my experience.

[mrnegativezero]

First famous person I met is Kat Corbett, I guess. I met her at KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas '08.

As for first famous musician, Max Bemis at Guitar Center's Warped Sessions. I also met Brett Gurewitz, Joe escalante, Philip Sneed, and Tom DeLonge the same night. He seemed genuiely pleased when I told him his music has helped me a lot.

I had a moment where I could have met Kenny Vasoli. He was outside the Wiltern talking to a roadie before Paramore's Riot! tour. His back was toward us, so my friend and I didn't want to call to him and find out it wasn't him. One of the most annoying regrets we still have. Especially when he said "Don't be afraid to talk to us" onstage.

[JuneJuly]

I don't meet a ton of band members. Recently it would be the guys from Madina Lake.

when I was younger, all of the members of The Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam and the Drovers, etc, becuase my dad worked for them.

[deFobbed14yrs]

Probably the least flattering photo either of us took, ever.

LUCKY BITCH!

[crimsonandclovr]

i think it was all time low. i live in MD so it was a hometown show, i think. i don't really remember, though it was just in '06.

[bentleyj98]

All of Hit the Lights

[THE_SICKEST]

Frankie Muniz. He was at the Brand New show last month actually. I didn't have the chance to talk to him because he kinda disappeared but still it was cool haha. He's tiny in person.

Also I had the chance to meet Casey Crescenzo while he was still in TREOS. That was rad.

[crimsonandclovr]

oh my gosh. boy meets world is my all time favorite show, where did you find those torrents!? are they good quality!?

i found them on the pirate bay. granted if they were available i would buy them as i did the first three seasons, but dvd sales were down for those seasons which is why the other seasons (when it started getting really good) weren't released. the quality is decent but they are all tv rips so it says disney or abc family on it and half the time it shows on the bottom of the screen abc family 25 days of christmas or halloween specials or harry potter marathons or something.....lionsgate actually purchased the rights to the series in the summer of 2008 so hopefully they will do something about releasing the missing seasons. i was really excited when i heard that someone new purchased it but when a year passed and nothing happened i gave in and downloaded the episodes....they are just something everyone needs to learn from which is why i had to steal it since it wasnt available anywhere and not even on tv anymore.

I did the same thing...but I'm missing 4 episodes from season 5...damn.


someone from the official thread posted a site that sells all the dvds. obviously it's not the official ones. it's pretty much just the episodes, but no special features or whatever. i think it was something like $35 for all 8 seasons.

i can't find the site right now, but i will find it! i wanna buy it too!

[kbi the crowing]

First musician I met was Kevin Devine, I didn't even listen to Brand New at the time either.

[brentywat]

i met billy zane a few weeks ago. he's the bad guy fiancee dude in titanic. just thought i would share.

[miketheauthor]

All the dudes in thrice. I had them sign my slip on checkered vans at warped tour in 05. So sick haha

[ChelseaRiane]

Wow uhh I met so many band memebers but I'm pretty sure the first one was Matt Good from FFTL when there was seriously only about 50 people at the show.

[DogSizedBird]

First person would be Casey Crescenzo from The Dear Hunter who got me into one of their shows for free.

Probably the one that means the most is meeting and talking to everyone in Fear Before a few times and even some past members (I met their ex-drummer at a Portugal. The Man in store). Met all of Portugal except their drummer later that night too.

And another time, my band played a house show with Native and they hung out with us before the show and spent the night with us, that was rad.

Other than that, I've met tons of bands by just going up to them if they're hanging out in the venue or if they're selling merch. I felt awesome when I bought like $70 worth of vinyl from one of Pelican's guitarists. I could tell that he really appreciated it.

[PaperLantern]

Met the lead singer of Shinedown after their concert, and he let me go past the security and give him a big hug. Twas pretty awesome.

[LamarVannoy]

First famous person was probably Lleyton Hewitt when I was 10 and I was really into tennis and the first band person I met was Quinn from The Used two years ago.

[the outsider]

Adam Jones from Tool

[TheZeroKid]

Justin Sane of Anti-Flag.

[Nourez]

Toss Up between Mark Hoppus and Shaq for me. I've met the swellers as well, but they aren't as big as the other two.

[Paulb-182]

I think mine would have been some sort of Footballer. Possibly Paul Gascoine or Alan Shearer. In musical terms, it would have been Corey Taylor?

[anomaly519]

Kenny Vasoli after the BBQ Across America tour :-)

I'm such a TSL fangirl... I was so starstruck I nearly died. It was so embarassing.

Then I met Ace afterward and he acted like an ass to me

Really? Ace was really nice all 3 or 4 times I've met him. That's weird. He's kinda shy. Maybe that was it?

[MADSTA]

I briefly spoke with Alex and Will from illScarlett four years ago.
Other than that, the only other bands I've met are Faber Drive and Marianas Trench. FD guys were aight but slightly douchey, but everyone in MT is ridiculously cool.

[anomaly519]

I don't meet a ton of band members. Recently it would be the guys from Madina Lake.

when I was younger, all of the members of The Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam and the Drovers, etc, becuase my dad worked for them.

Holy shit! Fuck you! I would've killed to meet SP or PJ when I was younger. I'd still like to meet PJ.... Billy Corgan...eh.

[KingJohn_654]

John Nolan.

[:-)]

Really? Ace was really nice all 3 or 4 times I've met him. That's weird. He's kinda shy. Maybe that was it? Nah.

I think I've figured out why though - it was right after the show was over, and I couldn't muster up enough courage to go up to him and tell him how much TEN meant to me/how great the concert was... so my really pushy, overly outgoing, social-cues-ignoring friend basically pushed me into him and just blabbed on and on about how great he was (insincerely though - she was there only for School Boy Humor, hadn't even heard of Ace before. she's since been educated.) Then she made us take a picture, since she knew how badly I was looking forward to meeting him... Overall, she made me look bad. Like one of those giggling fangirl types. (Which I sort of am... but I like to think I do it with more grace, haha.)
I was trying to communicate to him with my eyes since she wouldn't shut up but it was dark so he couldn't see them.

Still, I think he should have had more patience with us as fans, and more understanding... I'm sure most people have had that kind of experience before, hanging around with a clueless friend. I'd give anything to do it over again, both with him and with Kenny, so I could force the words "your music means the world to me" out of my lips.
Ah well. There's always the next tour! (hopefully)
