Your claim to fame
 

Ever met a musical celebrity? Shook hands with one? Had a drink with one? Tell us here.

I never met any celebs. :(

But Jerry Lee Lewis told my uncle to f*ck off once.

I worked in the production business in Dallas/Fort Worth for a few years and met a few people. At first I was a runner, which meant that I was basically the band's bitch while they are at the venue. The band shows up in their bus and I'd meet them and run them around town or pick up food and whatever else they needed. I had to get 4 cans of hairspray for Stryper's drummer, find Fiji water for Musdvayne, take Peter Steele to a shooting range. It was pretty crazy sometimes. Other than that, I grew up in Start, Louisiana across the street from Tim McGraw. My dad was his basketball coach and my aunt dated Tim for awhile.

I have met each member of The Casualties, Coheed and Cambria, and the mandolin player from Flogging Molly.

Me and the lead singer in hailstorm got aquainted, and the guy with the curly hair...his name escapes my mind at the moment, but, he said he liked my gettup ahaaa.

A also met shinedown. They were very quik though...probably tired. It had been a long night.

Tina Turners limo drove past my house once.

I know Chad and Pharrell from the neptunes and have chilled with them.

I tp'ed missy elliot's house like 4 years ago.

"And this ones for Work it"

Ive been told off by the *** one from Backstreet Boys
Met Nicko McBrain
Sat behind the blonde one from "No Angels"

I've had a conversation with Sam from Nine Black Alps about me & him looking like we were in mcfly & him telling his children about Esquires [my local venue] Yeah.

& I've said this SO many times.
My old science teachers Nephew is THE Thom Yorke.

Uhm, that could be it.
I took someones backstage pass at the garage once.
The guy from the Hives winked at me.

That is probably it.

I've hung out with a bunch of local bands, i'm very good friends with the singer from jets to ruin. My brother knows the singer from death cab for cutie so i've met him a couple of times. I've hung out with Manson for like 5 minutes after a show and thats 'bout it.

Wow... chilling with the Neptunes. How cool. How are they in real life? I saw an interview with Pharell recently and he seems a bit big headed.

Dad has meet AC/DC's drummer, Phil Rudd.

So that automatically puts me on the red carpet.

I got into an argument with the chick from Morningwood, hung around with members of Spoon, sang to Rufus Wainwright, and helped the guys in Ambulance LTD with their Myspace page.

I met Rush, in 81 or 82, while working at the 76 Truck Stop in Elkton, Maryland. And I just posted somewhere else in here that I met Alice Cooper last week, promoting his radio show in Philadelphia.

I've met Brody Dalle for like a split second.
I also met Andy Granelli and had a crazy cool conversation with him.
I had my picture in NME magazine with Tony Bradley.
Got all their autographs and met everyone except Ryan Sinn.
That's The Distillers anyway.

When I went to see The Hives, I met the entire band for literally two seconds but Dr Matt Destruction came out and had a smoke with us. He talked about how crappy the smoking ban is and all our crazy Irish heritage.

Hmm.. I met the Guitarist/keyboard..ist from God Is An Astronaut. I got their autographs, a kiss, a setlist and a drumstick.

Who else did I meet.. That's all I can think of for the moment.

Mick Hucknall of Simply Red used to live in my home town, until he got famous and bought a house in Milan.
My Mam knew his and she used to babysit him on occasions.
He's a knobhead.

I worked as the barman, for a week, at the place where they're holding the olympic watersports (not that kind, right-track).
My sister holds a world record.
I sang (once) in a band with PJ Harvey's cousin - Ben Waters -, who's also been on Jools Holland.
My piano teacher also taught the daughter of the guitarist in Wings and she was friends with the ex-drummer from Primal Scream.
The guitarist in my band is the cousin of the guitarist in the Commitments.
Before I joined, my band were offered support slots to Hundred Reasons. Why this is, when they hadn't even written any songs, I have no idea!

BEST OF ALL, I MET THE CHUCKLE BROTHER IN THE STREET IN WEYMOUTH ONCE. MY BROTHER WENT UP TO THEM AND STARTED GOING "TO ME, TO YOU, TO ME, TO YOU" AND THEY RAN AWAY!

If I knew how to post pictures, I'd post the one of me and Elvis Costello. I saw him at baggage claim at Newark Airport. We were both returning from the Austin City Limits festival. He was awfully nice, put his arm around me and my husband snapped the picture. I thought I died and went to heaven! I LOVE Elvis.

I met Springsteen once--we were both at a Lyle Lovett concert in Red Bank, New Jersey. I walked part way up the aisle and then turned around to wait for my friends to catch up. Someone yelled "Hey, Bruce" and I turned my head and he was standing next to me, waiting for his wife.

But who cares about Bruce? I met ELVIS.

Chad used to live right by me, and he's a very very cool guy, and pretty down to earth. The times i've hung out with Pharell were because of Kato (who left a few years ago to try and become a pro skater in california) but they weren't as big back then, but he was a pretty down to earth guy. Always looking for a good time, but was still smart and was always looking out for his brother.

i seen amy lee and fred durst at one of my gigs! and met fall out boy backstage of there concert at the M.E.N arena they are cool guys!

I used to live down the hall from Twisted Method(now Makeshift Romeo). I chilled with David Draimon at an after party once. Sad as it is I've got drunk as **** with Clint Black too, he was actually pretty cool for a country singer.

Met Goldie in a nightclub.

Went for a piss once & found myself standing next to Fish from Marillion.

Non musical ..... Met David Blunkett at Paddington Station. I waved to him but the miserable fucker didn`t wave back

You didn't look at him did you?

I met The Mars Volta in Feb, a couple of hours before their show I ran into them in a record store, no-one else was there so I chatted to them for a while, they were cool. I managed to hold myself pretty well till I was gone and then I jumped around for about half an hour.

Well I havn't met a musician but for any Aussies looking in this thread my second cousin is Ryan Girdler (One of the centres for the Penrith Panthers and State Of Origin/Tri Series participant) so yeah my cousin has captained the Australians in Rugby League and holds 5-6 State Of Origing records! How sweet is that! He also introduced me to Craig Gower :D :D

ive met lots and lots of bands... none of them are famous though.

claim to fame is probably my record label... though thats about as far from famous i can get, it puts me into the music industry at least... especially the UK underground scene.

Used to be on nodding terms with Mick Hucknall, but you never see him around the place anymore.
My mam used to babysit him.

Dislike him for two reasons.
1. He sold punk out for Soul...which isn't a bad thing...
2. ...but then ruined it for himself by going mainstream. He has/had a great soul voice along with great possibilities. Never materialised :(

On that note, may I recommend to everybody else... (from Sound Devastations label)...

'I Wish I Was a Bee Gee', by Aotea:
www.myspace.com/aotea

Mainly for the crazy, crazy vocals (which gets increasingly stupid as they go on) and the messiness of the whole thing.

nice one :D

Was that a plug? I thought we weren't allowed to do that.

your not allowed to make recommendations?

i have spoke in depth to We Are Scientists for about 20 minutes, had a beer with Neils Children, met Matt Bellamy briefly, said hello to the Howling Bells on the London Underground and brushed past Keith Flint
