manson did that- after he kicked out everyone in his meet and greet to the curb where all the people without passes were... i'm not suprised though with him.

Only point I want to make is to defend 30 Seconds To Mars.. well, Jared Leto as he's the only one I've met and he was lovely. :mrgreen:
Jared avoided the 30 people waiting on the curb for him after his show across the street from his bus, didn't look at anyone, dodged everyone and than when someone called out his name he didn't even have the decency to thank anyone for coming out to the show. In fact he didn't even acknowledge anyones existence and once he went on the bus he was never seen again.

Glad to you had an opposite experience for him though.

I've been really really lucky- I've met/hungout with a billion rock stars and only 2 i think were a little bit douchebags... but even they weren't that bad- nothing like what i've read and seen here and on this whole forum.

BUT in defense of some rockstars- if you're at their hotel with 3 of your friends with 4 pickguards each... it kinda looks bad (i'm not saying thats the case but ive seen it)

I have a 'friend' i use the term VERY VERY LOOSELY- friend enough to only have in my phone to ignore his calls...

who i met at concerts and he is honestly a douche. I got him backstage to meet Tom Morello- i guess i was feeling nice... and he handed him 15 audioslave/rage cd and dvd covers- (he signed them all) but thats too far. and he stalks them at hotels and this and that...

and you can tell to an extend- i've seen on ebay stuff signed at shows i was at- and the pictures of them signing have ME in them.

I have a great autograph collection and pick collection and i've never bought or sold anything.

I don't even think those guys are worthy of signing a real SUBLIME CD.
At least you didn't get dissed by the real third of sublime.
You are right. They are not worthy of signing a real SUBLIME CD, which is why i purposely bought a "Sublime with ROME" poster to have them all sign. The band still parties pretty hard doing cocaine and drinking to no end, but when it comes down to it they don't know how to treat their fans...unless of course you've got a ticket stub in your hand or your a female.

Are you serious?? After that I was so not a fan anymore. They insulted me and I spent money on a cd I already had. Jerks! And again where are they now?? Nowhere... Anyways.. On to my autographing friend we were getting apex twin and he wrote on my friends cd Ebay stinks how rude is that?? Not everyone is a ebayer or a seller. There are believe it or not collectors and actual fans. Shoot people don't even use ebay anymore for autos they use autographing sites. Hearing stories like this makes me angry :neutral:
This is the exact reason that I'm not longer a fan of Sublime or 30 Seconds to Mars, Tears for Fears or ZZ Top or a host of a lot of other bands. They label incorrectly label people for who they aren't and it is disappointing as a true fan that they do that even after you've went to their show.

For some reason the older generation bands are REALLY bad at signing. And the majority of bands think that anyone there waiting for them to sign something that isn't a ticket stub or a cd album is a seller! To be perfectly honest. The last few in person autographs that I've gone out for in the musician genre have almost turned me off to the whole in person collecting.

When I met Robby K walking into the local venue he gave me a funny look because I asked him to sign a guitar pick guard. I could tell from his facial expression that he reluctantly signed it only because he didn't want to seem like a jerk in front of people, but in the back of his mind he really didn't want to sign because he thought i was going to turn around and sell it.

This is a first hand mannifestation of the cynicism that dealers have brought to this hobby. And yet they still have the audacity to claim they are not ruining this hobby.
