Ever Met The Stars....

DazMarz

David Coverdale - Met him after a Whitesnake gig in Liverpool in 2008. So cool and suave. He talks so cool too. Really nice bloke, to the fans anyway... Dunno, but he's supposed to treat band members badly!!!

Michael Schenker - Met the man, shook his hand, got the autograph and a photo. Pure cool, with RayBans, the blond hair, the leather jacket... and nary a word of English (maybe it was heavily accented English, but I couldn't understand a word he said!!!!)

Necronomicon

Met Sepultura in 2006 when they supported In Flames in the Ambassador.

I'm not a fan of In Flames at all. We stayed for a few songs, but it just reaffirmed that they weren't our cup of tea so we left. Went to the chipper across the road, and as we waited at the counter for our grub, Roy Mayorga walked in (he was deputising for Igor at the time, who's wife just had a baby) followed by Andreas Kisser. After taking photos and all the rest we went outside, and lagging behind the other guys was none other than Derrick Green. Over the freakin moon I was.

The first band member I met was Phil Labonte from All That Remains, but as I was young and never seen any videos of theres I didnt even know who I was talking to. Met all of Trivium after that concert for the 1st time.
This was outside the ambassador

I've also met all of all of Killswitch Engage outside the Ambassador. Along with Trivium again and the Haunted. Although none of these compare to meeting Serj Tankian after his gig outside the Ambassador it was surreal. He seems so quiet when you meet him.

Then i went to see Trivium a 3rd time in Derry, in a really small venue can't remember the name though. Me and 1 friend stayed in the Travel Lodge in the city. The morning of the concert we said we would go find the venue. We got there and there was a cafe beside the venue. We went in for a cup of tea and a big tour bus pulled up outside. So we went out to see what who it was and it turned out to be Trivium. We went back in as it was like minus 2 outside. About 15 minutes later Paulo and Travis come into the cafe for breakfast and sat at the table literally 4 feet away from us. We eventually met all the band but later on outside the front door of the venue all the band came out and it seemed as though we were the only ones to see Travis that day because he got swarmed by the crowd. I looked beside me and Matt Heafy was standing, this concert was in November or December '08 right after COD World at War came out. So I asked Matt if he had got it seeing as he player COD4 but he said he was getting it for christmas, and wasn't sure if he would enjoy playing it seeing as he would be shooting Japanese and let out a laugh. The day after the concert we found out The Haunted stayed in the same Travel Lodge as we had.

Nice to see the Haunted are taking care of themselves. No point sleeping on a bus when the Travelodge is just around the corner lol

Met Phil Lynott in Rose Hill Hotel (now Hotel Kilkenny) in 84.He was playing with Grand Slam at the time. Myself and a few mates blagged our way into the residents bar for a few pints,and who should be at the bar but the bould Philo himself.We nearly **** ourselves but we had a couple of pints with him all the same.He was pretty wasted at the time,on the downward spiral methinks.And all this was after seeing Lizzy at Slane.Life couldnt have been any better. Oh,and have his autograph on the flap of a 20 Major box to this day!

Heroic post with a heroic ending! :pac:

I'd love to have met him. What was he like, was there much of an ego or whatever?

Met Dani Filth and Nicholas Ba$tard (1st drummer with Cradle Of Filth) back at the old Temple Bar Music Centre in '98.

Had a couple pints with Dave Edmondson of Neurosis at the Music Centre in '99, also met the rest of the band, nabbed autographs. Voivod played the same gig and again got some autographs.

Same venue..(was a hotspot for metal bands! ) again got autographs and chatted with Sick Of It All in '99.

Some dude from I think, the band Vomitory?? They supported Cannibal Corpse.

Jaysus..I need to have a good think, has to be more!

Sounds like a great name for a leg of a pissed off Metallica tour, when they've had enough of performing or are forced to do it by their record company

Well done, I'm really jealous, it's hard to look at James seriously anymore when he wears that hat. You know the wife forced it upon him lol

But I'm chuffed for you man, hope to join the fan club next week or thereabouts, I've been meaning to do so for a while, and get myself some privilege

Also....I never taught you'd be that much older then me:eek:

No offence

He was just a typical down to earth Dub having a few pints. No ego whatsoever but he had some presence about him-you just knew you were in the company of a legend.

I'm only 10 years behind you - I'm not saying that's old, you're just older then I expected I guess

I suppose innocently I expect everyone on this board to be around my age or younger lol

Which I'll probably receive a torrent of abuse for now
