What musicians/bands have you met?

Excluding concerts and music venues, I met Anthony Keidis in Tokyo when he happened to stroll into a clothing store I was casually shopping at with my sister. Small guy.
 
James Blunt was once galavanting in front of me, I didn't really feel like taking the extra steps to talk to him... and that's the nearest I got to a known person. Unless you count spending a day with Dakota Fanning in a dream.
 
Sorry I hadn't been back in some time. Couldn't find this site and got it mixed up with Music Forums. That's a cool site too.

I was in a band that opened up for Bad Brains and Yellowman on separate dates in Philly. I drive for a limo service so we get to see alot of celebs and musicians. I picked up CC DeVille at his house and drove him to the airport. He was cool. We picked up Melissa Etheridge at her hotel and took her to the venue and back. Nice lady but she's got butt-ugly fans. Jeeesh!!

First band I ever did on the limo gig was Pearl Jam. Had to pick up Eddie Vedder and the tour manager and take them to the venue in Camden, NJ. Some prick cop wouldn't let us drive to the rear entrance though the T.M. had a venue and all-access pass. He made us drive through the general parking area and go in the front and I didn't have tinted windows. Poor Eddie had to put his jacket over his head so he wouldn't get recognized and start a riot with the thousanRAB of fans milling around the outside of the arena. The T.M. was pissed big time.
 
Donno if this counts, but...believe it or not, I played WoW with Butch Trucks of The Allman Brothers Band.

A good friend of mine through that game worked for the band, and got him playing as well. When the 1st expansion for the game came out a few years ago, we spent a good week or so leveling up our characters together. Was talking with them on vent the whole time and everything. Was pretty cool. :)
 
Actually managed to get back stage and go drinking with The Fun Lovin' Criminals in Carabridge once, and another time I met Longview after they played KoKo, even got to meet Zane Lowe at their after show party! CrAzy Days ;-)
