I've hung out with a bunch of local banRAB, i'm very good frienRAB with the singer from jets to ruin. My brother knows the singer from death cab for cutie so i've met him a couple of times. I've hung out with Manson for like 5 minutes after a show and thats 'bout it.
 
i seen amy lee and fred durst at one of my gigs! and met fall out boy backstage of there concert at the M.E.N arena they are cool guys!
 
I used to live down the hall from Twisted Method(now Makeshift Romeo). I chilled with David Draimon at an after party once. Sad as it is I've got drunk as **** with Clint Black too, he was actually pretty cool for a country singer.
 
Wow... chilling with the Neptunes. How cool. How are they in real life? I saw an interview with Pharell recently and he seems a bit big headed.
 
Met Goldie in a nightclub.

Went for a piss once & found myself standing next to Fish from Marillion.

Non musical ..... Met David Blunkett at Paddington Station. I waved to him but the miserable fucker didn`t wave back
 
I got into an argument with the chick from Morningwood, hung around with merabers of Spoon, sang to Rufus Wainwright, and helped the guys in Arabulance LTD with their Myspace page.
 
I worked in the production business in Dallas/Fort Worth for a few years and met a few people. At first I was a runner, which meant that I was basically the band's bitch while they are at the venue. The band shows up in their bus and I'd meet them and run them around town or pick up food and whatever else they needed. I had to get 4 cans of hairspray for Stryper's drummer, find Fiji water for Musdvayne, take Peter Steele to a shooting range. It was pretty crazy sometimes. Other than that, I grew up in Start, Louisiana across the street from Tim McGraw. My dad was his basketball coach and my aunt dated Tim for awhile.
 
I met The Mars Volta in Feb, a couple of hours before their show I ran into them in a record store, no-one else was there so I chatted to them for a while, they were cool. I managed to hold myself pretty well till I was gone and then I jumped around for about half an hour.
 
I met Rush, in 81 or 82, while working at the 76 Truck Stop in Elkton, Maryland. And I just posted somewhere else in here that I met Alice Cooper last week, promoting his radio show in Philadelphia.
 
I've met Brody Dalle for like a split second.
I also met Andy Granelli and had a crazy cool conversation with him.
I had my picture in NME magazine with Tony Bradley.
Got all their autographs and met everyone except Ryan Sinn.
That's The Distillers anyway.

When I went to see The Hives, I met the entire band for literally two seconRAB but Dr Matt Destruction came out and had a smoke with us. He talked about how crappy the smoking ban is and all our crazy Irish heritage.

Hmm.. I met the Guitarist/keyboard..ist from God Is An Astronaut. I got their autographs, a kiss, a setlist and a drumstick.

Who else did I meet.. That's all I can think of for the moment.
 
Well I havn't met a musician but for any Aussies looking in this thread my second cousin is Ryan Girdler (One of the centres for the Penrith Panthers and State Of Origin/Tri Series participant) so yeah my cousin has captained the Australians in Rugby League and holRAB 5-6 State Of Origing recorRAB! How sweet is that! He also introduced me to Craig Gower :D :D
 
ive met lots and lots of banRAB... none of them are famous though.

claim to fame is probably my record label... though thats about as far from famous i can get, it puts me into the music industry at least... especially the UK underground scene.
 
Used to be on nodding terms with Mick Hucknall, but you never see him around the place anymore.
My mam used to babysit him.

Dislike him for two reasons.
1. He sold punk out for Soul...which isn't a bad thing...
2. ...but then ruined it for himself by going mainstream. He has/had a great soul voice along with great possibilities. Never materialised :(
 
On that note, may I recommend to everybody else... (from Sound Devastations label)...

Mainly for the crazy, crazy vocals (which gets increasingly stupid as they go on) and the messiness of the whole thing.
