10.26.24 | I work a musical venue, so I meet a bunch routinely...
If artists in noise, metal, hardcore punk, rave techno, etc can be considered famous |

10.26.24 | I saw Glenn Benton at a grocery store in Tampa Bay yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly. |

10.26.24 | @Hyperion1001
What a pathetic self important piece of shit. As if he's so famous that he's stopped every 5 minutes by some fawning fan. All he has to do is say thanks man much appreciated throw up the horns and keep walking, that will send the message that he doesn't feel like talking. Deicide have been dogshit for like 30 years anyway lmao
Unless that's a copypasta in which case it went right over my head

10.26.24 | I met Ethan Kath from Crystal Castles one time, and i'm absolutely disgusted i shook his hand. Dude was chatting up some girls in the venue before the show and looked pissed that I even tried to talked to him. |

10.26.24 | @jrlikestodance if I ever run into him I'll ask if he would mind standing still for half an hour while I sketch him |

10.26.24 | Paid for an album signing after a 30STM concert, so I got to meet Jared Leto even if it was brief. He didn't say a word to me. The other two guys in the band were hella nice and asked if I liked the show, etc, but Jared obviously had no interest being there. I shake the other guys' hands on my way out, and I reach to shake Jared's hand. He just looks me in the eye and slowly extends his fist out to give me a very unenthusiastic fist bump instead.
Probably not the worst story out there of him but I find it kinda funny in hindsight. |

10.26.24 | Pretty sure 30 seconds to mars was always just a front for recruiting into his cult |

10.26.24 | Hearing downfall on a skate video is partly why I got into guitar
Sad end . To see that he was only 41 when he died reminds me how young he was when he wrote most of their best music |

10.26.24 | My buddy talked to Michael Keene from the faceless once after their set and was like “dude it’s so crazy you play all those leads without using your pinky” and Michael got visibly pissy and just walked away from the conversation |

10.26.24 | I met Ted Nugent a few years ago while hosting front of house on a brunch shift. It was a really busy day and to be fair nobody even recognized Ted amidst the sea of tourists and dumbasses without reservations. He’d been waiting for about 45 minutes before his wife brought his identity to our attention. We just didn’t have any tables for a party his size. Then he started verbally abusing us for the state of our bathrooms (they were too ‘open’ and he couldn’t find the extra toilet paper). So he kept yelling at us a bit before being coaxed back outside, in search of better eating. |

10.26.24 | My famous musician I ever met was Fred armison lol. He was cool but also extremely awkward it was kinda funny |

10.26.24 | I met the entirety of Get Scared in 2015. Coolest moment of my life

10.26.24 | I only met scenecore dudes after they hung out post-concert. The likes of Noah Sebastian, Jonny Craig, Beau Bokan, Eddie of Imminence... Also the whole of Anathema and Tesseract at meet&greet events. But nothing too spontaneous or worthy of an interesting anecdote. Except maybe Crippled Black Phoenix who were very outgoing and likable. They couldn't believe I traveled 500+ km just to see them in a really small venue of 50-100 people. Was a cool moment for me. |

10.26.24 | ‘with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.’
one of the worst chocolate bars going, appreciated only by the under twelves, this is very perplexing…maybe the work of Satan? |

That’s fucking hilarious if it’s true. Way to make one of your biggest fans feel appreciated for expressing their admiration for your band. I’m picturing it like Mel and Bret from flight of the concords |

10.27.24 | I’ve peed next to a bunch of them: Shaq (x2), Eddie Van Halen (x2), Kobe, Dan from Jars Of Clay, Dewey from America, Izzy Stradlin, CJ and Marky Ramones (1992), Green Day (1992), and more.
Oops...you said musicians. I forgot and interpolated people over the musicians word.

10.27.24 | Why the fuck hasn’t anyone posted a story about Matthew Sweet having a stroke and his fans raising funds to get him back home Fromm Canada?!? |

10.27.24 | Pissing next to one or two famous people is a cool story but I feel like it raises some questions when you've pissed next to 10+ |

10.27.24 | Girl friend is really into hot mulligan and when she first met tades at a The Wonder Years show and told him about how she’s a huge fan and that Hot Mulligan is what got her into pop-punk / emo music his response was “oh, that’s really weird”.
More often than not, when I meet a relatively smaller artist I really like, they are shy and awkward about people loving their music. |

10.27.24 | "My music is complete shit and I'm always the most humble person in the room" energy from some of artists pisses me off

10.27.24 | Jared Leto seems like an absolute tool these days, but when he suddenly walked of the double doors right next to me at an arena show and was immediately surrounded by fans and security, he let me run my fingers through his nasty beard. It was cool as hell
I also got to meet Mike Portnoy once. Hours after the show I found myself back at the venue and he was out back smoking by himself while some roadies were still walking gear out to a trailer. I just asked to bum a cig and didn’t tell him I was at the show and knew who he was and we shot the shit for 20 minutes or so. He was really friendly and I hope I get to see him play again some day
