Normal guys really.
I don’t have a boner for music like some people do and honestly don’t listen to their stuff, so the experience was kinda ‘meh’ to me.
I forgot, I hung out with John B a couple times because he’s friends of a friend. He’s one strange dude. I kind of expected it though, just look at the guy.

I played basketball with Boy II Men. That was fucking nuts, as I was like, 12, and a huuuuuge fan.
They were hitting on my 17 year old cousin. FML.
Oh yeah, DMX used to order food from my parent’s old restaurant.
Now, as for other people, I’ve met a ton…
i was in dmx’s jail cell when he was in jail at buffalo.

I had a 30 minute conversation with Tom Morello at Eides Music in downtown Pittsburgh about 10 years ago, when Rage was still prevalent. Absolutely amazing guy - he was in there, wandering around, perusing music by himself. (Buddy of mine worked there and called me - “hey man, you too busy to meet a rockstar?” :lol: ) I just showed up with a roomie and shot the shit with him. Music, politics, and local food. Got my Evil Empire shirt signed, it’s framed now.
Best friend from my old hood is the producer for The Dropkick Murphys. I was on their tourbus with them when they were in Cleveland this summer.

semi-unrelated and sort of stalker-ish information, but i’ve seen the addresses of several buffalo bills/sabres. you just notice when you see certain names when you’re sorting mail in nicer parts of the city or around like the williamsville/clarence area.
Dragonforce, Daath, and Cynic. met them all at their show last year at town ballroom. The guys from dragonforce are sorta dicks. The Daath guys are cool. Cynic… the singer was sorta weird
The bass player from cannibal corpse (alex webster) used to live 4 houses down from me.

I’ve met the guys from saosin, super cool guys.
