What musicians have you met? I've only ever met a couple of musicians from Australian bands. I think meeting the guitarist from Gospel Of The Horns was the best. Share your band member meetings with us!

ive met Luke Jaeger and Dave from Sleep Terror. i've seen Lord Worm walk by me and shit. also Jason Keyser from Skinless

I kind of met Karl Sanders from Nile. Shook his hand after a show and told him he kicked ass. Also the drummer from Throwdown, a beastly guy. I've never really had any conversations with any musicians though.

I met Gene Hoglan after a Strapping Young Lad show shook his hand and what not and I met Blake the drummer from Between the Buried and Me and talked to his for about 20minutes he was a pretty cool guy. Aside from that I haven't talked to any good musicians.

I met members of gothic metal band Mortal Love from Norway.They played before Moonsorrow,30th April 2004. in Croatia.It was after midnight and they were in their minibus.I was drunk and come in cllose and smile to them

I've never actually met anyone from a famous band or anything, but as far as just regular everyday musicians, I myself being a musician I know a wide range of them, most of us are better than those of us in our little town, lots of times kids just pic up instruments to look cool or whatever, but we do because we love it and it's what we want top do with our lives.

Actually I forgot to mention I also met Lamb of God at a signing Session thingy they were pretty cool dudes.

I met a whole lot of small-time (but awesome) blues musicians working at a blues/jazz fest in Asbury Park, NJ, as well as the legendary Hubert Sumlin, who's also the nicest guy I've ever met.

My guitar teacher is John Albino, who played in a band called Faith Healer. From what I gather they were pretty big locally, and they played at L'amours in Brooklyn the night it opened.

Nice! I really want to meet the guys of Wintersun as well as Nevermore, Opeth, Bloodbath (which includes Peter) and...well a lot of others really (like Dragonland).

After seeing Cattle Decapitation live, I went to the merchandise area and I saw the lead singer, Travis Ryan, selling their merchandise. I bought a shirt from him and we talked for a bit. Unfortunately, I didn't get his autograph. That dude is hilarious though. He's got a weird sense of humor.

I've met Erik Lindmarck of Deeds of Flesh twice and talked with him for a bit. I got him to sign the booklet to one of the cd's I bought. He's a really cool guy and very humble.

Another musician that I've met is Bill Robinson of Decrepit Birth. When I met him he had some sort of eye problem that looked kinda nasty, but other than that he was a really cool guy.

After meeting that cool dude I met one of the guitarists from Odious Mortem. He was also really cool and we talked for a bit and he ended up giving me free stickers.

A friend and I also met one of the guitarists from Darkest Hour, but I wasn't too interested in him so he and my friend just talked. He seemed like a pretty cool guy and he even refrained from insulting my friend who made an ass out of himself.

That's all I can remember now...

this is one of those threads that makes us that havent met anyone big feel all jealous isnt it
hahaha
well i have met all of Sabaton and got them to sign my album and everything but that is about it
i should be able to meet Primal Fear when i see them at Bloostock Festival later in the year though

My father, he's pianist and a lot of his friends, u didn't specified if they would have to be metal musicians XD

this guy i know (who isn't really my friend, but i know him) met Tommy Lee from Motley Crue.....

Wow! How did you guys meet all these people? What were you thinking when you were talking to them? What was it like? etc

Well it was ammazing! The first time I have ever talked to a human being!

Ok, ive met a few...

All of Children Of Bodom last yr i think it was at the Adelaide Uni Bar... waited around for awhile met em, chilled with em, got a ticket signed and went on my merry way.

Ive met all of Fuck... Im Dead (Aussie Grindcore/Goregrind act), they are just funny blokes... Jays a tall fucker!

Ummm shit, i usually drink with (or have friends that know and thus i drink with) the local Adelaide metalbands like Obsidian Aspect, Sarsekim, Darklord etc etc. Fun Fun!

I met all the members of Epica except Simone Simons.

The only time I have meet a band is on signing sessions. I´ve been on signing sessions with Nightwish, In Flames and Emperor.

Karl Sanders (Nile)
Junky Jon (Gorerotted)
Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Fluffy Offalstench (Gorerotted) -- actually, I just bought a t-shirt off him; I was too stupid to talk to him
