Craig Nicholls out of the Vines signed my train ticket. That's about it for music memorabilia and me. My brother went a step further and got a poster signed by the whole band. He lost it years ago, otherwise I'd have pinched it and sold it for a pack of cigarettes ages ago.
 
As the title says:

My most treasured piece of music memoribilia is a programme I got at Pete Townshend's Lifehouse performance at Sadler's Wells in London on February 25 and 26, 2000.
The important thing about the program is that I got it signed by John Entwistle who was enjoying a drink in the bar during the interval of the show.

I'd have to say my autographed copy of Tori Amos' autobiography.

The whole thing of meeting her, getting the book signed, talking to her. I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of my heroes and other random celebrity-types that I would actually care to meet, but meeting her was and remains near the top of any list I could hope to make.
 
:eek::eek::eek::eek:

You are so lucky!

My most prized memorabilia is a picture of all four merabers of R.E.M., autographed. My dad met them some years ago (before Bill Berry left in 1997) and aquired their signatures.
 
I use to have a copy of Metallic K.O. from Iggy and the Stooges on vinyl but it was in pretty bad condition. I ended up selling it for pennies when I was getting rid of my record collection before I moved to the UK
 
Umm... an LP signed by John Coltrane? Yep, not kidding. My father found it in a used record store a while back, and apparently the clerk didn't notice it, because after some research it's defenitely his signature - and it's also stamped by someone "property of..." who, with the magic of Google, we were able top track down his son, so we assume that his father had been at a Coltrane performance, gotten it signed, and then perhaps when he died his son just sold all his LPs... but yes, it's defenitely the greatest thing in my entire house.
 
My most treasured items include these two "From The Vault" CD collections from Subconscious Communications. 7 discs each, limited edition of 1000 (first pressing), not sold in retail and only available through the label. I know that the packaging for series 2 was asserabled by hand by some of the band merabers, so that's cool. Series 1 may have been also, for all I know. Each series came with a bonus disc that was not for sale and only given to those that ordered the entire 7-disc series as a package rather than buying the releases individually.

Subconscious Communications "From The Vault" Series I
The idea here was to compile material "from the vaults" of Skinny Puppy and their side projects, that was never released, and release it to the fans. After the 1st pressing sold out, a 2nd and 3rd (unnurabered) pressing of most of these CRAB was released, some with variations in the artwork/packaging.

Subconscious Communications "From The Vault" Series II

Also,

Various Artists: Black Box: Wax Trax! RecorRAB, The First 13 Years 3 CD Set (original metal box edition)
This collects tracks from the golden era of Wax Trax! RecorRAB, some of the best cuts by some of my favorite industrial acts. And it's a really nice out of print metal box.
 
How can you even call that a RABOTM t shirt then?

But seriously, I wear that damn shirt and chicks are 50% more likely to want to talk to me, it's great.

So yeah, I'll have to personally thank Roger Waters and David Gilmour when I finally get laid.
