Famous people or bands you have met.

[darthtang aw]

List them if any and your thoughts on them after meeting them.
Pantera---Over all a very good bunch of people. Except Rex is kind of a jerk.
Marilyn Manson--Quiet, actually very mellow and not nearly as weird as everyone would think
DJ Ashba--quiet, shy, doesn't flaunt his "celebrity type status"...very humble
Rose McGowan---Hot, outgoing, willing to hold a conversation with anyone.
Union Underground---Awesome group of guys, love their partying----paid for us to go to Ozzfest many years ago after we hung out with them one night after a show....spent Ozzfest in the VIP/backstage area because of them.
Tommy Lee----an over grown kid....that is the best way I can put it.
Deftones---Very cool group of guys, easy to hang out with.
Disturbed---Arrogant pricks, all I have to say about that.
Kill Switch engage---These guys are all practical jokers.
Lacuna coil---decent enough
Chimaira--decent
Prince---makes Napolean's complex seem like a non issue. arrogant prick when in one of his moods.
Soul Asylum-- mellow guys, will buy you a beer in the bar.
Limp Bizkit---Before all their fame they were cool guys, afterwards Fred turned arrogant, but wes and the rest stayed the same.
That is enough for now, will add more later.....

Michael Jordan-Nice enough to say hello, but he's busy.
Grant Hill-Nice guy, but not overly.
Walter Payton-Wow, you would not have known, if someone didn't tell you. Like talking to a good neighbor.
Jarrett Payton-Cocky, but was young. To be expected.
Jaleel White-full of himself, but he was quite young at the time. Surprisingly good at basketball.
Not trying to act like I am cool, or I hang or hung out with these people on a regular basis. It was at a basketball camp...I was cool for a week many years ago lol.

Ray Durham asked me out once. A long time ago. Gave me this big sob story about how he was going through a divorce and he was afraid his woman was gonna take everything.
Needless to say, it was all a big fat lie and his wife had no idea they were splitting up...
That was in my exclusive single days, so I never took him up on his date offer...
Anyway, he as #5 on the chicago white sox. I even ID'ed him, lol.

[tizzo]

Al Mc...

oh and I was introduced to some wrestler at the DMV. Real popular guy but I forgot his name. I'm gonna google it.

 

[tizzo]

It was John Cena.
Nice but a little cold. I didn't talk to him but a friend who works there carried on a convo. She was pathetic.
But as cute as he looks on tv, he's about 50 times better looking in person. Very boyish. Very nice arms.

 

[aquaknight]

Shaq and D-Wade at club in Miami (go figure). Friend's friend's birthday, both parties had VIP sections. Bought him a bottle, though they were only there for a bit. Cool people but some of the entourage were d-bags.
Dennis Rodman, got on the same elevator at the Hard Rock Casino. Dude's a serious poker/gambling addict lol.
Oh, meet Dolly Parton too,at a premier for opening of one of the rides at Dollywood. Sweetest heart I've met.
Almost meet Evander Holyfield at Six Flags over Georgia. Massive black dude with a bit of his right ear gone, can't miss him

. Too people swarming around him though, felt bad for him actually.
A couple race car drivers.
Though I think KJR has us all beat.....

I just snorted my coffee

I haven't met many American musicians, but have met most of the current and a ton of ex Nascar drivers. Majority are really nice and down to earth, but a few a-wipes is in the group

I worked for Showco as a roadie back in the late 70's and early 80's. Too many bands and performers to remember. Most of them back in those days pretty much had one motto - s e x, drugs, and Rock and Roll. My most memorable was Linda Ronstadt and Bread. Talk about polar opposites. Linda was the crazy party animal, and David Gates was an arrogant SOB who hated to be the starter for Linda.

 

[mantisman51]

Neal Schon-Lead guitarist for Journey & Soul Sirkus
Marco Mendoza-Bassist for White Snake and SS
Jeff Scott Soto-Lead singer for SS and fill in for Journey.
Neal was really great until I asked about Steve Perry, then he turned to carry on a conversation with some scantilly clad young women-his wife and baby were there too. Marco Mendoza was cool as a rock musician can be. I wish I coulda had a beer and talk for a few hours. Jeff Scott Soto was a freakin riot. Absolutely a typical, fun-loving rocker.
Wilt Chamberlin-at The Orleans in L.V. I have heard he's arrogant and brushes people away, but from the elevator to the front doors, he let me ask some questions and his security guys didn't do anything but laugh while I walked backwards-totally starstruck. He is a very sweet guy. Not soft, but genuinely nice.
John Madden, Jack Tatum and Kenny Stabler. I was eight and walking home from school and I walked past the training camp at the Flamingo in Santa Rosa, Ca. John Madden saw me and my 2 brothers staring through the fence and came over and called for Tatum and Stabler to come over and say, "Hi". Jack Tatum came out of the gate to shake our hands. I still love that he took the time to shake our hands and tell us to stay in school.

Many years ago I was in South Carolina for a meeting and I was wandering in a drugstore when a motley group of folks asked me a question, and we began to talk. After a while I told them I had to go back to my hotel so I could get ready for the meeting. They offered me a ride in their cab, so off we went. They were very nice, and invited me to go sailing later in the day, but my meeting was going to be a long one, so I declined. We dropped them off at a really nice hotel, and they paid the cab tp take me to my place. After they got out, the cab driver got hysterical. "Do you know who you just turned down?" he asked. I had no idea at all - but it was Fleetwood Mac. ..my brush with famous people.
