i met george from alexisonfire he was awesome, my friend talked to him for a while, and a couple other guys from the band too
Lostprophets are the nicest guys in the business imho. Especially Ian Watkins. It seems rare to meet lead singers that are so down to earth.

boysdontcry
08/21/04, 06:53 PM
haha from first to last are rad. they were so cool when we talked to them. i posted this in my LJ, but the guitar player ran up to me and stuck me in a chinese finger trap and kept yelling "hey! we're friends!"
CROMagnon
08/21/04, 07:02 PM
the drummer from this day and age was cool, puerto rican like me
and nick from spill canvas is a good guy
the rory dudes, damn, i think the whole label is laid back like that

heh yeah, i swear i had a brain cramp when i was around them, i bought their cd and gave them the ten bucks and just walked away, and i left my cd there.
so basically i just handed the guy ten bucks and left
luckily some guy from the band stopped me and was like thanks for the money and letting us keep our cd, but you can have it
piebaldkid42
08/21/04, 07:21 PM
...and for some reason melee autographed the inside of my cd case, though i didnt really want them to, and that was after they were total dicks to me

they were dicks to you? cos they seemed pretty nice to me when i was there.. well the guitarist. the lead singer/keyboard guy just smiled a lot and didn't talk to the fans. but the guitarist actually struck up conversations.
my friend's band opened for yellowcard when they played around here, and apparently the lead singer and the other guitarist were dicks to them, but the violinist was a really nice guy.

I second the Piebald statement. I actually got the chance to talk to Heath from Midtown, very nice guy. I also heard alot of people talk shit about The Used but I met them and they're really nice people. And I'd like to add that Rufio are a great bunch of people as well.

yeah, he called my girlfriend my sister, and you can tell he did it on purpose, and it wasnt like a friendly joke way, and then after i bought there cd, he was like begging my mom to buy one too, and my mom was like no my son just bought one and he just kept like begging her and laughing at his own jokes and he was just being very cocky and such an ass

they dont seem like mean people, but i went to a show of theirs and afterwards they just went and hid backstage in their little tent and everyone who stood out in the freezing cold to see them and wanted to meet them didnt get the chance, because then they high tailed it out of there after leaving their tent

08/21/04, 08:35 PM
Jorge from The Casualties is a really nice guy.

08/21/04, 08:37 PM

And the lead singer of T(I)NC.
#2 from Anti-Flag seemed like a really nice guy.

Simple Plan are super sweet, I've met them a couple times and they've been nothing but super awesome. I met Ben from Yellowcard a month ago and he was pretty nice... Flashlight Brown are awesome, especially the drummer Tim. Such sweethearts. And The Fullblast are super nice too. And I met Bif Naked a couple years back and she was fairly cool.
I haven't really had any bad experiences with people from bands...
Albino_Virgin
08/21/04, 09:34 PM
Chris from Saves the Day has always been so rad to his fans. I've never heard of a person having any sort of an even ok experience with him. Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge are really cool too, at least when I met them like, 3 years ago.

Everyone in Guster is so super sweet. They rule.
Somebody else that likes Guster, awesome.
The nicest person ive ever met in a band is Rob, the drummer from Midtown, Ive met him 3 times and he was so nice every time. Last time at Strhessfest he even said "Nice to see you again!" I wasnt sure if he really remembered me but oh well, it was cool. Andrew from Something Corporate was also incredibly patient and extremely nice.
Sadly, Yellowcard were kinda dicks when they signed at Warped last year. I told Ryan that the cd was amazing and he just said "thanks" and didnt even look at me.
sellitforcaeish
08/22/04, 12:06 AM
it sucks when bands are dicks to their fans, especially if you really like the band, but they are normal people and of course youre going to catch them in a bad mood every now and then. i can understand that yellowcard might get pestered, but if my cd went platinum i donno what id be sad about, it could go either way.
my band is opening up for dillinger escape plan in october, i have a feeling greg is going to break my arms.... especially since my band is like retardcore. i think if i bake them cookies theyll be happy and maybe only break my finger or something.

You will never meet nicer guys than the Alkaline Trio.
Agreed. They played near me and then went to a club afterwards, they took all the people who waited a long time to meet them (myself included) with them. It was amazing, we had a drink and a chat. Something corporate were pretty nice as were funeral for a friend. I met adam from homegrown and he signed my ticket but he didn't speak to me when I said the show was good, and he wouldn't look me in the eye..................He's probably one of the meanest ive met.
GothamCity_hXc
08/22/04, 08:46 AM
Vinnie from The Movielife was a fucking great guy, he came over and sat with me and my friend and we talked for ages, great guy.
Also Buddy from SF, he was cool towards me, and im not the biggest fan of his band either, but he chatted away about tours etc.
I think someone mentioned the lostprophets earlier in the thread, i agree they are cool guys, very funny too.

The last 3 or 4 times I've seen name taken I hugged chad and told him I loved him. and he is super cool about it, the rest of the band are cool too.
The kinison are cool guys (to bad their music is sucky... But they put on one hell of a show)
Also I met this guy who said he was a roadie for sammy hagar and he bought me a 40oz. So that was sweet. He keep singing Running with the devil. I should post a whole thread on this guy.

I was thinking the exact same thing. They might be tired of having to say hi to all these kids but you would think they would try their best to please their fans.
Retardcore?

08/22/04, 09:55 AM
most bands are incredibly nice. some of the exceptionally nice ones include: mae, lances hero, used
douches i've encountered include: senses fail, fat mike (nofx), john mayer
Jim Morgan
08/22/04, 09:58 AM
ian from NFG
are you on crack? ian was one of the coolest people ive ever met. We called his name at a huge ass arena show, and he walked up and chilled with us and took pictures. ive met him several times and everytime hes been awesome.
mondeoman
08/22/04, 09:58 AM
Mark from Guttermouth is pretty cool. Jason from Authority Zero came up to me at the first show I ever went to and he was really nice to my friends mostly cuz they've been following that band since they had only 9 ppl at their shows. And now they're on MTV. ha.
I met Anti-Flag's drummer at Warped Tour, he was pretty cool.
ohlookitspaul
08/22/04, 09:58 AM

you cannot say that heath, tyler, or rob is a dick. all 3 of them were fucking awesome to their fans.

Jim Morgan
08/22/04, 10:05 AM
damn alot of you guys hatin on nfg. nicest guys ive met i think.
Jordan especially, one of my fuckin mic rockin idols, and i told him that, and he was just super stoaked to hear that. Took pics with us.

i think everyone needs to realise that people have bad days just like everyone else..they arnt super heros or anything
when i met ian..he was the funny and awesome..so maybe he was just having a bad night.
I met the guys from Thursday. All of them were super nice guys and pretty talkative. I also met the guys from Thrice, they were quiet but nice.

08/22/04, 11:18 AM
ya, i dont know but when I met nfg they were all fuckin nice... i think alot of you people need to take into account that sometimes bands have shitty days and can't stop & say hi to everyone & be nice... my fav. bands: gerard my mcr was fuckin nice as hell, introduced himself & asked my name.... Alk3, definately (skiba and dan, didn't get to meet derek).... taking back sunday is definately up there... thursday, coheed was nice when I met em, as was nofx, bad religion, rise against... hmm ther'es more but i'm a little hung over & tired from playing a late *but awesome* show

I agree, people are going to have diffrent experinces sometimes for whatever reason that may be- some bands can be super nice in some stories,and super pricks in another.
I waited four hours in line for an autograph from Sum 41, I was so stoked and when I got up there they didn't even bother to look up at me, but later on I had a friend said that she was there too and that they were real nice to her.

08/22/04, 02:08 PM
Sergio from the Early November was really nice. He took pictures with us and gave us a hug and talked he was just awesome.
The guys from Fall Out Boy were also really nice, they talked and signed autographs and pictures and stuff. All of the guys were extremely cool.
My friend met the guys in Rufio and apparently they were awesome and they got to split french fries and hang out and talk with them.
I haven't met any bands that were dicks, yet.
My friend said SOTY were awesome
The guys from SOTY are fucking rad. They were I think by far the nicest guys Ive meet in a band. Other people bands/people I thought were really nice are Finger Eleven, Hey Mercedes(ok so I know the drummer, whenever they met fans they always sit and talk), Fall Out Boy, Homegrown(great guys, and really funny)Ben and Sean from Yellowcard(I thought the rest of the band acted like asses but thats just me). Something Corporate and Sevendust...and I agree with the Alkaline Trio guys, and Lost Prophets. Both nice bands
Assholes: The guys other than Ben and Sean from YC, Taking Back Sunday(the updated one), kinda the Deftones, Im not sure if they were drunk and high, or if they really did have no personality whatsoever. Claudio was kind of a dick from Co&Ca, but not horrible, he just kinda signed my stuff and walked away. I cant really think of anyone else.

08/22/04, 03:54 PM
what!? tbs being dicks? you musta done something REALLY fucked up, because they're the nicest guys i met... fred & matt (2 new guys) & adam are the nicest guys in the band, but eddie & mark are still really nice too.
well, most of TBS was alright, but Adam was a real dick to everyone he met that night. Ive heard tons of people complain about him also..but whatever

For chirst sakes, the people in fucking bands are only humans. You realize how many of you pricks they have to meet a night? Like it isn't enough for you just to watch them play, you have to sit and act like you guys are all best freinds. Granted their is plent of fucking dick head bands, but at least be understanding and not expect them to suck your fucking dicks right after a show, they are probably tired as shit and since your bed time is at fucking 8 you have all this energy because you are allowed to stayp up late tonight because it is special you fuck heads.

So continue to be a quee.r you worthless peice of shit. If you keep whoring a band MAYBE they will give you head but their is no guarntees you peice of shit.

i cant believe people are saying Ian Watkins from LostProphets is a nice guy. i met him a couple of years ago, before they even got signed and they played a local gig and at the bar afterwards they just had this huge fucking ego the whole time. they werent even famous then and complaining about nobody buying them drinks and all this shit. but hey, maybe they've changed, or it was a bad night.
Adam from TBS is super nice, and all the guys in The Hurt Process too.
I met Ian and Mike C. when they were in Oslo earlier this year, after their show, and they were both great. Ian noticed me during the concert and dedicated a song to me, and later when I met the two of them I got one of Mike's drumsticks.

fall out boy are the nicest guys ever. i talked to patrick and he seemed greatful that i liked his band. they really seem to care about their fans. afi is nice, they signed forever at warped last year and davey was super nice. the guys in june are nice as well. umm, dave kennedy from hazen st. is really nice too. besides, if he WERE mean, which he is not, he's really cool, would you tell him? HELL NO, that guy is fucking huge. the guys in code 415 are awesome, i bought their cd at their tent and were really thankful and cool. i also met kevin lyman at warped tour, he was really nice. he appreciates the fans that come to warped tour and realizes the kids going are the reason it's still around and growing bigger.

maybe you shouldnt be in a band if you dont want to be "bothered" by your fans.
or maybe you should be grateful you have fans in the first place.

The guys in Motion City Soundtrack are really cool. We met them in 2002 I believe; they hung out with us for a little while and no one knew who they were. I feel so scene being like "Yeah, I met them back before anyone had heard of them."

Ahh some nice bands that I've met..
hawthone heights
armor for sleep
acceptance.
dicks:
anadivine. - friend and i were walking from a fastfood place, they were walking to get food too, and we were like "you guys did great tonight" they didnt even look or say thanks. they kept on walking.
i haven't met rufio, but you can tell that they're fucking awesome. just watch the video on the EP. and whoever said modest mouse is bad..is right. at shows, they don't even talk, they just play songs. and then leave.
John Nolan was very cool, nice guy. Michelle was really friendly too. It was a small venue and me and my buddies were some of the only people around at the end of the show so we got to talk to them for a while it was nice.

or maybe you should be grateful you have fans in the first place.
sometimes band members are extremely shy (even though their career choice is ironic if that is the case) and this comes off as arrogant or mean.
other times bands are on a tight schedule and don't have the time to meet with everyone or anyone even though they might want to and people say that they're dicks.
Oh, I met max from Say Anything too.. that was interesting, he was nice and all, but he seemed extremely shy. Its funny cuz on the site he posted:
"We get to meet all kinds of people, especially kids who enjoy our music. That is the best. Please come up to us after the shows, dont be shy. We are so happy and proud of the audiences we've encountered thus far."
We went and talked to him, we weren't the shy ones. Tho he wasn't talkative and seemed a bit shy, he did seem pleased that we called him over and said hey, cuz they had been walkin passed the line and the kids in line didn't know who any of the guys were.

Cool bands I've met:
- Between The Buried And Me - I met one of the guitarist and the singer, they were both really nice.
- From Fist To Last - The lead singer came and jacked around with my friend and me before a show, he was super cool. My friend give him a piggy back ride, it was funny.
- Recover
- The Bled
- Acceptance
Gay bands:
- A Static Lullaby - they think there the shit.
- Fortunatley besides ^^^ I haven't experienced many gay bands.

When I met Nick from Northstar he seemed rather shy to talk to people. I think he might have been in a bad mood because there was about 25 people at the show, so I don't blame him. I also got to hang out with the frontman (I guess he's the "lead singer") of Chronic Future that night. He was really funny. This was back before they had an album or anything, when all they had was a 4 song EP.

Has anyone heard of Mindless self indulgence ,? THey are by far the most unique genre of punk I ever heard of. They claim themselves "industrial jungle pussy punk" They are truly a very misunderstood band , their songs may be a bit offensive , but , if you are a weirdo like me , you will understand completely on what the hell they are talking about anyway. (If you guys want to check it out i recomend the " bring the pain" track.)

I agree, they are some of the nicest people I've ever met as well. They are so genuine and appreciative of you as a fan. One of my friends had this huge knuckles tournament with them, it was rather amusing! Plus, we ended up meeting up with them after their last show here at this bar that we had reccommended to them, which was really cool!
Other bands that are nice that I've met are Gob, Simple Plan, Sum 41 and From First To Last.

I met Dave Williams of Drowning Pool before his death...It was at the riverrave and I saw him buying a beer so we yelled for him and he was nice enough to come into the stands from the floor and take pics with us. He was such a great guy.
I also met Jahred who sings for (Hed) P.E. We tried to get him to smoke with us, but they were about to play. If you turn his autograph sideways, it is a guy smoking. He was a nice guy.

Gerard from My Chemical Romance seems like a douche. I met him at warped tour, and he just seemed like a dick. I said that played a good set and he said "okay" ......he was an ass. Not to mention he looks like a fat, dead guy.
Anyways the coolest band I ever met was Motograder. I know no one here probably listens to them but they're really nice guys. When I got their autograph at Ozzfest they all stood up to shake my hand and thanked me just for liking them. I respect respect.

Cool:
Jonah from onelinedrawing, far, gratitude - is hands down the most scene person in the world. such a cool, an loving guy.
Over It - Awesome, down to earth fellas who have guest listed me multiple time. just all around genuine people.
Matchbook Romance - Warped 2003, we ended up parking in the band area and sneaking in (it was awesome.) the guys knew what we were doing and knew we didnt have passes to get backstage so the snuck us back with them
Ben and Sean from Yellowcard - Ben is an awesome guy who will look you in the eye and cares what you think. Sean is just fun to be around.
Fall Out Boy - another case of just being absolutely Genuine
Hidden in Plain View - They've been really awesome everytime Ive met them
Jon Nolan - Played acoustic for us. really nice guy
Ladd from park .- same
Moneen guys - same
Copeland - same
andrew from something corporate - really really patient
the format - real real genuine guys
Kris roe: really really nice. Im a huge fan and he talked with me for an hour before
so so so many more.
Jerks:
Eddie from TBS: I say "I just wanna shake your hand..." prick won't even look me in the eye
FSF (excluding jon bunch) - assholes.
Showbread, nice guys, hilarious too.
Emery, quite polite.
Evan from Copeland, total sweetheart.
Hawthorne Heights, awesome guys.
