Well those were the ones that stuck out. How have you met so many people Keigh? I don't think I've even been to that many concerts:(
 
Met Arctic Monkeys backstage once. Only exchanged a few worRAB, but a friend of mine who was interviewing them for a magazine said they weren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.
 
I'm curious to find out who has met some of their favorite banRAB and musicians and maybe what their encounters were like. I'm including my own list below...

Ben Gibbard
John Vanderslice
The Dodos
Dr. Dog
Ra Ra Riot
Loney, Dear
Owen
Maserati
 
I personally met the Raveonettes. That's was pretty amazing as their one of my favorite banRAB. But that is the only band I have met in person.
 
I don't really go out of my way to meet musicians or any famous people for that matter. Only somewhat well know one I can think of is Brian Cook of These Arms Are Snakes. I moshed with the singer of Cancer Bats.
 
Dude that's awesome....

I've never met him but one of my teachers is related to Thelonious Monk in some way (Niece I believe). I think that's pretty awesome.
 
I'm not sure it was luck. With Mr.Banks it was a question of hanging around the Parker Meridian hotel in NYC back in October of 1986 until he showed up after the gigs at MSG. I had been a huge Genesis collector at the time and got some pretty rare stuff autographed. With Peter Hammill, I'd seen him numerous times back in the 80's/early 90's and he always hung around after the gigs to meet fans. My Czech friend got the interview with Colosseum but was afraid to do the actual interview because he thought his English wasn't up to par so he asked me to do it which was cool. That was a bit of luck, I guess.
 
I met Nicholls as well a few years ago! I didn't bother mentioning him because I didn't think anyone would know of him. He was indeed tiny, but not as tiny as me, haha. Definitely had a naive feeling about him. I also think he was completely stoned.

I met Alex Band of The Calling last year in Richmond. He was so sweet. I also got to talk to him on the phone last week (a promo for the prerelease of his new album..) and he was totally the nicest guy ever!

LOL when I was still in highschool, my dad used to take my sister and I to Warped Tour, and this one year, he called us all excited because he had met Good Charlotte and talked to them about politics for a long time and got autographs. LOL my sister and I were looking at his autographs later and he had actually met Anti-Flag!! That was SO hilarious!! I think he just got the names mixed up because he knew both band's music quite well....
