209.0. "Bump into anyone famous lately?" by ANT::TURBA (How sweet, Fresh meat!) Wed Aug 24 1988 17:41

    
    
    	A group of friends and I were having breakfest the other day,
    at the Pewter Pot in Framingham (RTE 9). We were all eating and
    Talking about music,bands ect, and a waitress came up and told me
    a story....
    
    	It seems that just 19 hours before Joe Satreani(SP?) was in
    there with his bands drummer, who's name I don't know, eating some
    breakfast. My friend loves Joe and was freaking out. She told us
    she had him sign the back of the check, we saw it, and she said
    she shot the S**t with him for a while. I was wondering if anyone
    else has ever talked to a performer. The closest I ever came was
    talking to Crystal Gayle, my mother's friend's Cousin.
    
    			Ho hum.
    
    			Have you ever saw an artist, shopping, eating,
    			or just trying around??
    
    			I also talked to Lyle Alzado. One BIG dude.

    Joe Satriani's drummer is Jonathan Mover...a local drummer, used
    to be in GTR (Steve Howe's band, not to be confused with a Mod
    w/similar initials!).  
209.2Just a CoupleUSADEC::CLUETTWed Aug 24 1988 17:558
    Just a few weeks ago I was talking to Eric Brittingham of Cinderella.
    My brother actually got to go inside their tour bus.
    We got an autograph and a couple of drum sticks- 
    He was really cool-
    
    Also talked to the tall bass player with John Butchers band at The
    Motley Crue show last August.
    
209.4BRUCE DICKENSONMERLAN::DIFRUSCIAWed Aug 24 1988 18:3011
    A few years ago i ran into Bruce Dickenson , i was at an Iron
    Maidin concert and thew back up band was on, while we were
    watching the back up band a freind and me spotted Bruce walking
    through the audiance i guess he was checking the back up band.
    so my friend and me chased him down the hall, he stopped shook
    our hands and while we were giving our comments about his band
    the bouncers pulled us away from him, didn't even get a chance
    to ask for an autograph, better luck next time.

209.6and people say Joe Perry is bad???MARKER::BUCKLEYIROC, do you?Wed Aug 24 1988 18:3810
    
    Back in June `85 I ran into Yngwie in Boston, didn't talk with him
    much, but I kinda thought he was a A__h___, anyway, I ran into him
    again in NYC 5 months later at an audio thing, and got to talk with
    him a bit more
    
    It confirmed he was an A__h___!
    
    One of the biggest I've met in the biz
    Oh well, so much for ego
209.7Relief w/the bad boysCLBMED::JMINVILLEOnly a fool would say thatWed Aug 24 1988 18:5210
    I took a p_ss, uh, went to the mens room with Steve Tyler and Joe
    Perry once.  It was back in the early 70's, "Dream On" had just
    hit it big and I was roady-ing for one of the backup bands at an
    Aerosmith show.  I went into the mens room and was, er, standing
    shall we say at the middle of three unrinals, and in walks the bad
    boys themselves -- one on each side of me at the other two urinals.
    They start asking me if the crowd's gonna like 'em etc.  I didn't
    even think to ask for an autograph.

209.8Famous people ...SAMURI::COOPERI got the tone, He's got the bone !Wed Aug 24 1988 19:1912
My pal from Southboro (when I was a young tot) worked at the Buffalo(sp!)
Farm in Southboro (Remember that ?, I know Joe Minville does...)

Anyway, I used to go down there a lot to visit with my pal, and twice while
I was there Steve Tyler, Joe Perry, and Brad Whitford walked in.  Kinda
freaked me out.

Also, I used to go to Spit in Fenway A LOT !  Ben Orr and Ric Okasik (The Cars)
were usually in there, Brad Delp was there once too.  I didn't talk to them,
thinking that they probably didn't want drunkin slobs bugging them all night.

209.9Oh give me a home...CLBMED::JMINVILLEOnly a fool would say thatWed Aug 24 1988 19:489
    Oh my god, The Buffalo Farm!!!  Now it all fits while I was at that
    aforementioned Aerosmith concert, I happened to stroll into the
    dressing room and one of the girls with Aerosmith was a neighbor
    of mine who lived like 100 yds. from the Buff. Farm.  That must
    be why you saw the boys in there so much Jeff.  The place did have
    REAL good quality meats and other such foodstuffs -- ya figure the
    bad boys are gourmet types??? ;^)

            Thanks for the clarification - wouldn't want everyone to
            think that a drummer was in me (OUCH!!). 8^)
    
        RE: 'Brush with greatness'
    
            Well, my mother saw Daryl Hanna at the Cape.  She also saw
            and talked to Gabe Kaplan (Mr. Kotter) at the same place.
    
            My sister bumped into Sheila Martinez (PM Magazine).  This
            happened BEFORE Sheila got kidnapped - my sister didn't
            do it.
    
            I talked to Micky and Goofy in Florida, and I talked to
            the 'Talking Reindeer' at Santa's Village in NH.  8^)

    had been in there half an hour earlier!

    	I saw and just exchanged greetings with AJ Simon (from the
    TV show Simon & Simon) at the Richard Marx concert I went to.
    
    	Also, I saw Fred McMurry at The Shelburne Museum when FW
    Webb's son (if I remember correctly) got married.  My mother 
    used to make cakes and made one for that day.  Seems there was 
    a whole bunch of celebrities that were invited to this gala.
    They were supposedly flown out to VT on Webb's private jet.
    (He's one, if not the richest man in Vermont)
    
    Does that count ? :^)

    Re.14
    
    You met Mike Monroe?  He's a wierd one, huh?  They were in Boston
    a couple of weeks before Razzle died, and my friend and I met them
    and spent a couple days showing them around the city.  They were
    a bizarre bunch, but a lot of fun.  We only saw Mike a few times,
    he didn't come out with us at all, they said he had a fear of strange
    places.  Later, we found out that he was spending all his time "in
    the water closet" because he had just started back on heroin.  We
    brought them all over the place.  I think the only conversation
    Mike and I had was about hockey.  He wanted to go to see the Bruins,
    but they were in Montreal or something.  he was trying to figure
    out how long it would take us to get there, and if we could get
    back before Monty Python.
    
    I have been lucky to be able to meet a lot of "rock star people."
     When I was younger, a friend and I spent a lot of time and money
    at it.  When we went to concerts, we always got a hotel room at
    the same place the band was staying, and we were always pretty lucky.
    We used to go to every show and concert that came to town, and I
    can't even begin to list all the people we managed to meet/hang
    out with.  Meeting these people loses its novelty fast, though.
     They're really not all that great, and all they want is to get
    laid.  We weren't those kind of girls, and a lot of the time it
    worked against us, but a lot of times it worked *for* us, too.
    
    If you want to meet your favorite band, get a room at their hotel.
     You can't get too far if you don't have a room key.  When things
    finally settle down after the show and they are getting ready for
    their little after-show parties, you'll be around and get invited.

209.17My brush with greatness . . .PFLOYD::ROTHBERGI see your schwartz is as big as mine!Fri Aug 26 1988 04:4336
                I met  Yngwie's  band  when they played with Keel
                and Aerosmith at  Sullivan  Stadeum.    After the
                concert, I, and a  bunch  of  friends  jumped the
                dividing  wall  and hung out  back  stage  for  a
                while.  They eventually caught me  and  threw  me
                out.  I had to hang out  in  the  parking lot and
                wait for them, and there was Yngwie's bus.  I got
                to hang out on the bus with everyone (except  Big
                Y  -  he had a limo and had already left).    The
                Staties came  into  the  parking lot and tried to
                throw everybody out,  including  the  band  (they
                were still loading the  equipment onto the truck.
                Someone  almost  bought  it  too,    they  had  a
                forktruck  lifting  a  loading platform about  30
                feet in the air to clear the  fence coming out of
                the  stadeum  and  it fell off and almost  caught
                some chick, anyway, I digress .  .  .).  The cops
                were very rude and grabbed the road managers tags
                that were  around  his  neck  and  called  him  a
                wise*ss.  The bass player kept bumming cigarettes
                from me too.

                No Dave .  .   .  after the cops started with us,
                the road crew screeched up in another bus, jumped
                out,  and beat the sh*t out of the  cops.    They
                couldn't be stopped.  They killed them all, and I
                got  tagged  as  an accomplice (sp?) and am now a
                fugitave on the run from the law . . .

    Anthrax -  I've hung out with these guys a bunch 'o times. I went to
    school with Scott Ian's wife, so we're all really good friends.   
    
    Dee Snider - Meet him backstage last year at what's probably going
    to be TS's last tour.   He was one of the nicest and funniest persons
    I've ever met. 
    
    Joe Perry - I've met him twice while shopping.  Once was at a Toys "R"
    Us.  He was buying dolls with his wife, for his newborn daughter.   
    
    Rik Ocasek - I also met him shopping.  He was kinda weird.
    
    Julian Lennon - I used to work in-town Boston and I met him outside
    of the Parker House Hotel.  He had done a show the night before at the
    Orpheum.
    
    Deep Purple and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I won passes and a guitar
    from BCN (I don't play either, what a sin, huh).  Everyone in DP,
    including Ritchie Blackmore, (contrary to what I had heard about him)
    was really cool.  The same for Joan & the Blackhearts and the BCN people
    that showed me around.  They were all really nice.

209.23I know the man who wraps Larry Birds ankles...VICKI::SHIPPINGWed Aug 31 1988 14:0812
    My cousin is Eddie Lacerte, the trainer for the Boston Celtics.
    I haven't seen him in over a year since my Uncle (my dads uncle,
    actually) Jackie passed away.  Hope to see him again soon, but I
    feel like an ass asking for tickets.  I'm sure everyone he knows
    has already done that!
    
    Besides that, I met Jim Craig (1980 olympic goalie), former Bruins
    goalie, and a close friend of mine's cousin is Mike Pagliarullo
    (sp.?) of the New York Yankees.  I should meet him when the Yanks
    and Sox meet next.  Thats about it...

    re. .23; How come you never got me any tickets?  Larry Birds ankles?
             Wow, man...
    
    I met the boys from Guns&Roses after their show at the Orpheum in
    Boston.  The next day they were hanging out at their tour bus, pretty
    hung over and talking about their upcoming tour with Aerosmith.
    The lead singer Axl had to be carried onto the bus, he was so messed
    up.  he refused to talk to any of the fans, and was quite a sad
    sight.
    
    I also met Anthrax and Metalchurch after their show at the Paradise
    a couple of years ago.  They were real freindly and signed alot
    of autographs for me.
    
    I met Jim Marshall, the man behind the world famous Marshall amplifier
    at an in-store appearance at Daddy's Junky Music in Boston.  He
    was a real nice guy and he took a picture with me and put his autograph
    on it.  OOPS!  I forgot to mention (my favorites, ha ha), JJ French
    and Mark Mendoza of "Twisted Sister" were with him, endorsing his
    amps.
    
    Steve Smith, ex-Journey drummer, walking down a street in Boston
    before a show at the Berklee performance center with the Jazz Explosion
    '88.
    
    The Ramones at Newbury Comics last winter.

    and took photos.
    
    Going to meet and greet Flotsam and Jetsom at the Channel with KD.

209.27Yup at the Channel, Who were you???MILVAX::RENEELil' SisterTue Sep 13 1988 18:2028
    What were you wearing? Were you in the bar? We literally bumped
    into Mikkey Dee, Pete Black, and Hal [last name?] Pete and Hal are
    new. I guess Timmy's girlfriend/wife ran out on him and left him
    with their kid, so he quit KD. Suggest to Kingy that he hire this
    guy Hal. Hal used to teach guitar in Sweden.
    
    Also got a good scoop on KD. He doesn't do drugs or drink [supposedly],
    is TOTALLY into the occult. He and another gentleman are high priests
    in a Satanic Group.
    
    Pete Black was a total <set hidden> though, he got too drunk and
    too f***** up. Not cool. It made him look like a useless jerk.
    
    They cancelled KD at the door, but told us if "we were good, the
    rest of the band would show up". Sure enough, they all strolled
    into the bar and hung out getting, as Mikkey called it, "Super Drunk".
    They eventually did go on stage and do some jamming. It was okay,
    nothing to write home about. Hal *is* a good bassist. I would like
    to see the whole band again before Pete gets messed up.
    
    All in all it was an excellent nite. Didn't get home til quarter
    of 4 and blew off Friday. I guess they're playing the Ritz Club
    in New York around Halloween, we're supposed to be going to see
    them, we'll see what happens..

                You should have seen how  Flotsam's  bass  player
                looked at KD's when he started  playing.  If they
                sound anything like this when they do  their  own

      Last Saturday nite I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Hunter and
    Mick Ronson of the Hunter/Ronson Band. Ian Hunter (Mott the Hoople
    fame) is probally best known for the song "All the Young Dudes"
    and "All the way from Memphis". Ronson, his guitarist, played for
    David Bowie during the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
    album and tour.
      Anyways I caught them at the Channel club in Boston, which doesn't
    have a backstage, only the stage door. We got there early so my
    friend parked on the side of the tour buses near the stage door.
    We talked to the backup band for a while (I don't remember their
    name but they said they just got off tour with Dickey Betts of
    Allman Bros. fame) before we went into the show. 
      After the show we hung out at our van between the tour buses puttin'
    down a few more brews. Hunter/Ronson left immediately after the
    last song and boarded the tour bus to unwind. A small crowd had
    gathered outside their bus. After about 15 mins. Mick Ronson stepped
    of the bus to chat with us and sign autographs for about ten minuites.
    After he stepped back on the bus Ian Hunter stepped out. My friend
    got his Mott the Hopple album signed, while I had both Hunter and
    Ronson sign my ticket. One girl had them both sign her white shirt
    right across the chest. A night to remember.
      Anybody else meet any famous rockers?

Hey - I was at the Hunter/Rnson show! It rocked!!!

I also met Ian a few years back (about 1983) - he was a real cool guy.
Very quiet and soft-spoken, but very nice.

    I once quite *literally* bumped into Phil Lynott...it was around
    1972/3 when Thin Lizzy were starting off(Eric Bell was lead guitarist
    at the time). I was rushing out of a shop(can't tell you why ;-) and
    Phil was walking down the street...*BANG* down I go, I look up and
    there is this tall black guy looking down in amazement!!!...I didn't
    know exactly who he was at the time and I didn't hang around to
    ask either. Lizzy were doing a gig in our town that night...

    My summer-of-love (that's 81 to me) buddy is in a band now with
    
    Neal Schon
    Jonathon Caine
    John Waite 
    & Ricky Phillips
    
    His name is Deen Castranova and the name of the band is Bad English.
    Look for an album in June.
    
    Deen called one night and got my answering machine, on which there was
    a message backed up by a Babies tune, so he told John to call up and
    listen to it! Whooopeee!
    
    I met Jay Leno once.  My dad's a DJ so he had emcee'd his show in
    Portland and we bumped into Jay at the airport.  VERY COOL GUY!
    
    Dick Smothers' (of the Smothers Brothers) son is in a band here in the
    Bay Area called Kamikaze.  Dick Jr. is "supposed" to get a bunch of us
    tickets and b-s passes to see his dad's show this month.
    
    So you see, I've actually never REALLY MET any of these people...

    Queensryche did a record signing up in Portland maine.  We wrecked
    my friends car on the way up (icy roads) so we were dead last in
    line.  The band decided to stay an hour later than expected so that
    they could see everyone in line.  And since we were last, we stayed
    and chatted for a while.
    
    They really are a great bunch of guys.  Got mine and my SO's Dad's
    CD signed, too.

                Where did  Deen learn to play drums?  I've always
                been curious, 'cuase  the  guy has obviously been
                professionally trained (or he's another natural).
                I play drums, and he  is  in  my  top  5 favorite
                drummers.  Was he always a  metal drummer, or did
                he  ever  play  jazz  (he  uses  alot  of  fusion
                sounding  licks  in some of the WD songs).    I'd
                LOVE  to  see  this  guy  live.   He's an  insane
                doublebassdrum player.

    I saw Mick Brown, the drummer for Dokken, after their show in Portland
    during the Loverboy tour.  My friend and I chatted with him through a
    fence.  He was really cool, and wanted to hear what we had to say about
    the show.
    
    I exchanged waves with Matt Sorum (drummer) and Ian Astbury from the Cult

                to convince her we were next to starving,  so she
                made us sandwiches and walked over to sue's house

    I used to live next to Wayne Cashman, x Bruins captain, and hung
    out with his son Scott.  What a spoiled s*** he was.  Wayne used
    to frequent the Barnside (bar in No. Reading, MA) and get into brawls.
    They moved to Marlboro or something.
    
    I met Jay Leno in 85' when my friends introduced me .  His parents
    live next to my friends and when he visited they would kid around
    with him.  I was riding my ATC and he told me to get a real motorcycle.
    We laughed and rapped for awhile.  That was before he was real famous.
    
    
    I went to an autograph signing for Judas Priest in 87' at Narcissus
    in Boston and got Glenn Tipton to sign my bootleg cover.  He was
    very cool but KK Downing seemed jerky.  Tipton's a better
    guitarist/musician anyway.  Those are the only members there.
    
    Pretty exciting, huh.

          Here's my list.(No order)
    
    1. All of White Lion - For the most part cool.
    
    2. All of Stryper - All four were very nice and extremly friendly.
    
    3. Paul Gilbert - Once at a clinic and once after a Mr. Big show.
                      Definitly the nicest guy in the world. Got a pick!
    
    4. Vinnie Moore - Clinic also. Wasn't all that friendly, kind of
                      a d**k.
    
    5. Gene Simmons - Shook his hand when I was nine.
    
    6. Mark Kendell - Met him at a Kiss show. Pretty cool.
    
    7. Brad Delp - Went to his house once. Very nice person(right up
                   there with Gilbert)
    
    8. Robert Sarzo - Met him same show as Stryper. Nice guy.
    
    9. Jody Bongiovi - Met her at the Channel. Very cool and cute. Her
                       band was incredable!!! Kicka$$ musicians!!!
    
    10. Janet Gardner - Met her at hotel. Very shy and quite attractive!!!
    
    Now it's time for the almosts!!!
    
    1. Richie Sambora - My drummer (at the time) was working for Skid
                        Row but couldn't get me a pass. Got me a pick
                        though.
    
    2. David Coverdale - Scammed my way backstage and while in the process
                         of being kickout got dragged by Dave.
    
    3. Steve Vai - Went to the hotel that Poison and Roth's band were
                   staying at. Walked around from 11:30 at night until
                   5:00 in the morning. Then we found out they were
                   supposed to leave around 3:00 in the morning. So
                   we left at 5:00 thinking we missed them. Turns out
                   they didn't leave until 9:00. I was quite bummed
                   not to mention tired.
    
    That all I can remember so I guess that is it. Mark my words though,
                                           . .

    Actually they are cousins. She definatly has the Jowsy accent. She

    a Fleetwood Mac song at sound check and it sounded identical to
    the original.

       When i was walking down the street the other day in Stafford
       (England) i bumped into Bob Halford .Nice guy.
    
       When Rainbow did there Down to earth tour .They played at
       Bingly Hall in Stafford,I went to the hotel where they were
       staying and played a few games of pool with Cozy Powell,He said
       if i beat him i could have 2 backstage passes.What an incentive
       i went backstage after it was brill. I have drank with rush and
       been backstage when they played in Stafford.
       Ozzy was born just outside Stafford and when i was a little lad
       i used to go swimming in Stafford baths with him. That was before
       he became a star.
       I must say when you meet the stars it gives you a bit of a buzz.

209.70TRACII GUNS AND WINGERCRBOSS::NICOLAZZOTue May 22 1990 14:3138
    
    
    I met Tracii Guns (of L.A. Guns) at the Channel in Boston and got my
    picture taken with him.  I also met Winger.
    
    I got to meet Tracii because my sister's boyfriend's band was one of
    the 3 opening bands for L.A. Guns.  So there I was walking around in
    the Channel when Tracii and a roadie walked by and went to play video
    games.  My sister's boyfriend and I walked over to him, and he tapped
    him on the shoulder and said "Hey, she wants to meet ya."  And he 
    pointed to me.  Tracii smiled and we stood there and talked for a 
    while... no one else was there, so I had time to hang around him.
    My sister's boyfriend took 3 pictures of us and only one came out,
    thank god.  The other two, he couldn't get the flash to work.  Tracii
    had his arm around me waiting for the flash to go off and when Mike,
    (sister's beau) said, you'll have to wait, I can't get the flash to
    go off, Tracii, squeezed me tighter and said, "That's ok, we don't
    mind."  What a sweetie.  He really was so nice, he talked to me until
    they had to go back to the bus to get ready for the show.  
    
    I met Winger at the Strawberries in Burlington.  It took me and my
    friends forever to get there, and we waited for so long in line,
    when finally the cop put his arm right in front of me and said,
    "From here back, if you came to see the band, you can't get in,
    they have to leave in a half hour."  So there, I was, standing on
    the other side of the door looking in at Winger, waving, with actual
    tears in my eyes from being sooooo dissapointed.  But the, a roadie
    came out and said, "Come here... just you. (He let me in) I'm sorry,
    but those are real tears."  He brought me over to meet Winger, gave
    me a poster, they all signed and guess who I handed my camera to, to
    take a picture of me with Kip Winger?  That damn cop who had refused
    to let me in!  Ha!  I was psyched!

    I got to meet a new band at the Channel in July. Beggars and Thieves.
    They were really good. I stayed with the guitarist for a week in New
    York. I also saw them in Philidelphia. Their tape will be coming out
    Dec. 4 on Atlantic Records boy I can't wait.  Has anyone else ever
    heard of or seen them.  They opened for Tesla on their all accoustic
    show.

209.79My Dinner with MorseDREGS::BLICKSTEINMariah Carey's FianceMon Jun 15 1992 17:3629
    I've met Steve Morse, 5-time Guitar Player Magazine "Best Overall
    Guitarist" winner on a bunch of occasions.
    
    He went to the same University that I did and while I doubt he ever
    remembered my name, back then he always recognized me (probably as
    "that guy who is at ALL of our shows") and always said "Hi!".
    
    Steve is about as "down to Earth" as you get.  He has this personal
    quality that after you talk to him for a few minutes, you typically
    forget that he is anyone well known, or that this dude plays guitar
    better than anyone else on the planet (according to some).
    
    One thing that has always been kinda funny is that when you get to 
    talking with him about guitar, he has this tendency to turn things
    around on you: that is, you start out asking the questions, and before
    you know it, he's asking you the questions.
    
    He just has an insatiable appetite for absorbing knowledge about music.
    
    I allow myself one little ego boost: at a clinic many years ago I told
    him that I got some cool sounds popping strings on guitar (sorta like
    bass, i.e. you pull the string out so hard that it snaps back against
    the fretboard).
    
    I showed it to him and he said "Hey, now that is cool!" - I've heard
    him do it in concert, and possibly in places on an album (not real
    sure) so I sorta get a mild kick outta that.

    hopefully toward the end of the year. I run into these guys quite
    often cause they all live near me. Also, a few of my friends are
    very good friends with Steven,Joe,Brad and Tom....noticed that I
    left out Joey Kramer out? Thats cause he's arrogant.

I ran lights for them once when they played in Boston.  Steve thought
I did a tremendous job and told me so from up on stage, through the PA

Several times, actually. Back when I worked at CBS, we distributed Chrysalis
Records, so I worked with him then (he played up at the Club Casino at 
Hampton Beach). Then I met him again when he played the Centrum (along
with The Cult). No big deal, he's sort of an *ss, and not much personality
to him..... (sorr Carla, but 'tis true)

    I liked Billy Idol's early solo records, but when that last one came
    out, it became clear that Steve Stevens was a VERY big part of his
    sound.  I didn't like it nearly as much.

209.159CASHMR::BLAZEKa soft hoodwink of shadowWed Jun 17 1992 18:378
    
    I agree, Greg.  His new guitarist isn't much of an asset.  And I 
    *still* think Billy needs beaucoup help lyrically.
    
    Does anyone know what Steve Stevens is up to these days?

    Steve was seen playing for Vince Neil (formerly of Motley Crue) on the
    MTV Movie Awards last week.  I don't know if he's permanantly part of
    that project or not.  I'd heard he'd been doing a lot of studio work
    recently.
    
    I loved that Atomic Playboys album, wish he'd put out another of that
    sort.

    I think that Steve Stevens is so good, that I think of Billy Idol
    as being "his singer" rather than him being "Idol's guitarist".
    
    Not a flashy player, but GREAT hooks on those records.
