So far, Mark janssen from Epica

Misfits' drummer Dr. Chud back in 2000 and SAXON also in 2000 at an in-store they did here. There were probably about 15 people in line only

I've met a fair few metal bands. As a few other people here will agree, the Stratovarius guys are all really cool and very friendly. Paradise Lost were also really nice to us and gave us beer, which is the fastest way to my heart, and I ran into Dark Tranquillity a few years ago, also a very cool bunch.

Outside of metal, I was once almost run over by Jude Law in his Jaguar when I was crossing Park Lane without looking. I also got within a few feet of Baroness Hale, a Supreme Court justice here (who are basically celebrities to legally-inclined people).

I think there are more but I can't think of any at the moment.

And since when that piece of shit is a celebrity?

as for mark,I think being a multinational charting composer with multiple bands qualifies as celebrity. i call him a celeb after having that first charting cd.

Edit: + 1 And I just met Mr. Jordan Rudess and Mr.Eren Başbuğ


And these are the rehearsals for the world premiere of "Explorations...fkao" this next friday in Caracas!!!!!

Rudess is a wizard, or so they say...

straws are for fags

Yet Rudess clearly has one, your argument is invalid.

It was a joke

I just met Paul Gilbert last week. You might know him from Mr. Big and that smash #1 hit "To Be With You". They used to look like eighties american rock stars and everything, but now they look like this. Paul's the one on the left...



He's a super cool guy and an absolute guitar genius who - amazingly - still enjoys playing with other musicians and allows them to shine as well. Really cool dude... I'm slightly beyond that going for an autograph phase, but he sure made time for his fans after the show. Really great!

I also met Tony Spinner, a fine guitarist with a cracking voice. He's supporting Paul Gilbert on his European tour. Great guy too!



Cheerio,

Damien

Isn't that pretty much obvious? The bald one

Ahh!
Well, I gotta say if I saw those three together, I'd want an autograph from the one in the middle!

Kidding!!

Take our relationship as a 10-year-old marriage, and take my relationship with Susie as a 2-month lover...That should make it clearer !

And what about me?

You like Mr. Big and / or Paul Gilbert as well?

They're all cracking musicians. I met Billy Sheehan at a bass clinic (see above on this thread), and he's a nice guy too, although I won't endorse his ideas about scientology. People whom I'd still like to meet: Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Jimmy Page, Yngwie Malmsteen, David Gilmour, Chris de Garmo, Brian May... just to pick their brains about playing the guitar...

Cheers,

Damien

I looooooove MR. BIG... I have all the albums and well Mr. Paul Gilberts is awesome too and Mr. Sheehan!!!!

Oh, I'd love to meet: Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Liv Kristine (she's my hero), the rest of DT and Mike "desatado" Portnoy, Steve Vai, Satriani, Rusty Cooley, well Mr Big now they're sorta "back"... and many more, really LONG list I have...


And of course Strato... and I met their manager already!!! Hahahaha that's a start, right???
