Nick Ritter - Warbringer
John Kevil - Warbringer (twice)

Saw them a couple nights ago with Vader/Decrepit Birth/Amenta. mediocre sized crowd at the local club (almost as many in the fenced off bar section as the floor area). Adam Carroll was out sick, so they played a man down... and John was pretty sick as well, but soldiered through and put on an awesome show all things considered.

Every other band on the bill rocked balls, but Warbringer simultaneously rocked balls and were fun. Really won me over.

Talked with both the Laux brothers after the show, separately, including John (guitarist) at length over a beer. He had a really good attitude about everything... small crowd, next stop was the middle of nowhere, New Mexico... asked about it, his reaction was, "Play the show, have a good time, then move on to the next gig."

made sure to put aside drinking money to get "War Without End" - they won me over.

Okay, update from my three year old post:

- Iron Maiden (2003)
- One Man Army & the Undead Quartet (2006)
- Cradle of Filth (2007)

- Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth (2008, at a Megadeth concert)
- Deathstars (2009)
- Set Teitan (2009)
- John Petrucci of Dream Theater (2009)
- Thomas Wikström of Therion/ex-Candlemass (my best friends dad)

Pat Lachman
All of Iced Earth in 2008 with Matt Barlow

oh yes, i do envy you for those Pat is a genius guitarist, even though i only know his Halford works.

Logan Mader after he left Machine Head for Soulfly.
He was wondering around at Ozzfest prior to going on, not too many of us recognized him.

I have met quite a few in my time

Met Dani Filth by chance in 2008
Met all of Opeth at Bloodstock
Had a drink with Herman Li of Dragonforce at a WASP gig
Been to the pub with Leaves Eyes
Met Aaron Stainthorpe at Hellfire
Met Melt Banana at one of their gigs
Had a drink with Akercocke

Also had MSN conversations with Attila Csihar and Glen Benton

When I was younger my brother and I almost got stepped on by the singer from Disturbed at an unrelated concert.

Later in life I got to chat with Cam Pipes at a little club in Phoenix while we watched Satyricon. (They had just opened for Satyricon)

The next year when they came back to Phoenix my friend and I talked with Justin Hagberg for a bit. He and their bassist at the time had stopped to admire my friend's chain-mail shirt....which he wore to the concert...I've got to find some new friends...

Ah i just met Nicko McBrain today at his new restaurant(Rock N Roll Ribs)! He signed my shoe

Lance King @ PPUSA - Still talk to him on the facebook - and am apparently arranging a tune for him... really cool guy.
Guys from Pagans Mind @ PPUSA Signing Session - got to tell Jorn that I loved his guitar
Jon Drenning and his wife @ PPUSA Signing Session (unfortunately I wasn't that interested in CG at the time :|.. but I thought I had seen Jon's wife somewhere before so I had to talk to her)
I wouldn't say I met him, but I saw the vocalist from Circus Maximus enter/exit the bathrooms at the Loft? (Wednesday PPUSA location) and I gave him two thumbs up.. and he did the same. Probably the lamest thing I've ever done at a metal show.
Mark Wood - Lead violinist of Trans Siberian Orchestra @ local high school show that was to get people into orchestra or something like that.

I had a brief encounter with Heri and Terji from Tyr after a show they played opening for Amon Amarth in April of this year. It was pretty cool.

Emmm let me think, NONE

Hung out with Iron Maiden and showed them around Bombay.
Smoked a blunt with Machine Head.
Met Megadeth.
Jerry Cantrell - 3 times.
Tom Morello
Roger Waters

Well i have met many "musicians" but im afraid not any of big importance, i tell you what though, some of you folks certainly have a impressive list of people.

I met Blasphemer and Carmen from Ava Inferi last summer at OST Mountain Fest,friendly people

I have met:

Horslips
James Paul Luna/Eli Santana of Holy Grail
Seven Kingdoms
Philly Byrne of Gama Bomb
Bonded by Blood (I met Mauro 2x)
Evile
Carmine Appice
Michael Angelo Batio (2x)
Dick Dale
Robyn Hitchcock
Peter Buck of REM
Jeff Paulick of LaZarus A.D.
System Divide
Cam Pipes/Justin Hagberg of 3 Inches Of Blood
Rob Cavestany/Mark Osegueda of Death Angel
A Sound of Thunder
Timmy Pain of Pain!
Devin Townsend
Christian Muenzner of Obscura

I have a white t-shirt with my band logo on it that my friend made for me, and that serves as my autograph book. I wear it underneath my other shirts when I go to concerts and sometimes just out in public (because you never know...). So far it's been signed by James Paul Luna and Eli Santana, System Divide, Justin Hagberg, Jeff Paulick, Mauro, Seven Kingdoms, Carmine Appice, three members of Horslips, A Sound of Thunder, Timmy Pain, Devin Townsend, Christian Muenzner, and Michael Angelo Batio (twice; once for each time I met him).

I met the guys from Bonded by Blood once. I thought that they were just a couple of Mexican's hired to sell albums . Nice guys, I had a chat with their then guest vocalist before he got permanantly admitted into the band.

Hmmn i wouldn't say i've had many opportunities so far but I know all the guys from Bilocate & Nervecell quite well, & count Nervecell's guitarist, Barney, as one of my closest friends.

I've had a good chat with most of the members SikTh & American Head Charge after gigs as both bands liked to come out & mingle with the crowd after their sets.

I also got to hang out with Kevin Foley of Benighted quite a bit when he came out to Dubai to play drums for Nervecell when their regular session drummer couldn't make it.

Oh & here's a pic of me with Karl Sanders & his wife


I got the chance to hang out with him at Nevercell's VIP album launch party, he's such a great guy.

George Fisher he is really kind and natural,and guys from Vader.

None.

Terry Butler, Bill Andrews & James Murphy of Death in 1990
Rob Halford at a Black Sabbath show in 1992
Fernando Ribeiro in 2003 & 2008
And a hard one to admit but I met Ice-T at a Body Count show in 1992

Only myself ....

I've met and talked to Mikael Åkerfeldt at a Megadeth concert. I also went to a signing session with John Petrucci and took a picture with the guy. I was insanely starstruck both times. Also, when I was really little and didn't really listen to metal I had the chance to meet Iron Maiden, who were playing at a swedish TV-show, and get autographs from the whole band. I usually don't care for autographs because they're worthless compared to the memory of meeting an idol. Also, it's embarrasing asking for someone's name on a piece of paper. Getting a CD or merchandise signed is quite cool, though!

Met all the Megadeth guys in the Clash of the Titans tour (Mustaine, Eleffson, Friedman, Menza). They all signed the lyrics sheet from the Rust in Peace cassette which I bought at the record store where they were signing autographs. Cool guys, kinda quiet, but cool. In that same day, at the concert and after the Alice In Chains set, I met Laney Staley in the mosh pit; real cool guy he was, crazy enough to be shouting Slayer! Slayer! Slayer! with all of us and to the point where he actually got into the pit and was slamming like hell...... good times!!

Oh, forgot to mention on my last post: I also met Bobby Blotzer (drummer for Ratt) and actually chated and had some beers with him after a gig (got his autograph, too). Very cool and ordinary guy (meaning that he didn't have the superstar pose).

Hung out with Trey Azagthoth on tour bus on Formulas and Gateways Tour. instead of naming all names I met following bands....immolation, divine empire, dying fetus, gorguts, cryptopsy, exhumed, deeds of flesh, vader, incantation, morgion, Destiny's End, Iced Earth, Mayhem, Cephalic Carnage, Origin, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Nile.

Hey man, I believe the question for you is: Who have you NOT met thus far from the metal scene??

Written by Powerslavex on 13.11.2010 at 11:06

I haven't met any musicians either...

BUT THAT WILL CHANGE IN OCTOBER.

Getting VIP tickets to one of Devin Townsend's shows.
