I've been to NAMM many times so i've met many. Johnny Vatos, Slayer, Billy Corgan, Duff and Slash, Stevie Wonder, Yngwee Malmsteen, Alice Cooper, Chris Isaak, Squeeze, Christopher Cross, Willie Nelson, Matt Pike and Des, Joshua Redman, Branford Marsalis, Keyboardist from Dream Theater Jordan something, The Alarm, Billy Bragg, Colin Hay, and many others. I really enjoy going to hardcore/punk shows because you always meet the guys after and they are always such cool people. The guys from Conflict got me in free in Los Angeles once they smuggled me in as a roadie.

I've never actually met any, I've seen Taylor Swift before but never met her. I'd love to meet some though :')

Go to concerts of bands that are not too big

.
I shook Joey Burns hand (from Calexico), talked to Dave Wilson (from Chatham County Line) and waved goodbye to Paul Butler from the Bees.

Haha, last week I ran into a guy in the Music Store and got talking with him. He said he had to play on a rather big festival (Roadburn) with his band. So I said 'well in that case you're getting pretty big, should I recognize you?'. He replied 'naaah, don't think you should'. So I asked 'what band?'. He said 'Sungrazer'. And I'm glad I could reply 'dude, i've got your EP and Debut album in my record cabinet and I've seen you perform life in Susteren'

. Pretty local, but still quite cool. Reason I didn't recognize him is that he's pretty small and he's the drummer

. Eitherway, I got a sneak preview of one of the tracks on their new album. There's this one track they will master at Abbey Road (yeah!) and I heard the unmastered version.

Marilyn Manson seems like he could be one of two ways, the biggest douche on the planet, or the nicest guy.

I met Eddie Vedder once. He's a really nice guy.

I've always wanted to meet Lemmy from Motorhead. I've heard he's one of the nicest rock stars out there.

I've met half the members of the Doomtree hip hop collective back in May. They did a show at a really crappy lounge during finals week, so the show was pretty barren but it was very intimate and meant I got to talk to Dessa, Sims, and Lazberbeak. Dessa was a little bit more distracted but we got to talk about books for a good five minutes, but it was Sims who I got the most face time with, chatting with him while he smoked one of my American Spirits. He was an awesome guy and someone I could easily have seen myself being friends with we went to school together. I really enjoyed his album Bad Times Zoo (2011) and picked his brain on some of the songs, he was pretty humble too.

In 2010 I got to briefly speak with Aesop Rock after a show. I use to listen to the song "9-5er's Anthem" on my walk to work at 5:30 in the morning and he was happy that his music meant so much to me. I wish I had a camera though, I would have loved to have gotten a picture with him.

I'm not sure if this one will count though but when I was a little kid, my mum and I would go to the a&b sound on Seymour street in downtown Vancouver where metal musician Devin Townsend use to work. He always frightened me because of his appearance. I never spoke to him though, so I guess that doesn't really count.
