Have you ever met a big time musician before?

>>75016813
did u meet him or just take a pic of him

I saw Flying Lotus at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I saw Maynard at a grocery store yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face.

A few who are big in the rave scene.
Met Venetian Snares at a festival.
Met DJ Kentaro (World DMC Champion winner).
Partied with Skrillex after a rave one night (weird as fuck night).
Met some legendary drum and bass DJs (Andy C, DJ Friction, DJ Hazard, Mampi Swift, Congo Natty, Kenny Ken... too many to list).
Met a few bands probably not considered big time.

>>75017586
what are you, fuckin stupid? i just said i met hunter from liturgy

>>75017586
Only old balding white people care about Gregg.
Lmao. The standard of Famous is going downhill.

>>75016813
If i saw him irl i would be the most embarassing fan ever following him around and asking him questions

Met all the guys from Battles once, that was cool

>>75017627

Dude was one of the most famous musicians of his time, a legendary singer/songwriter with a career that spanned 45yrs...and yet somehow that is not a good standard for "famous"

Could you be any more of a pleb?

>>75017370
not true.

>>75017627

pleb detected. the most famous musician mentioned in this thread.

I met Mani from the Stone Roses at a James gig a few years back.

I also went to a house party with DJ Q **Where the bassline mandem at tho?**

>Amongst other things he asks about me, tell him what I'm studying and that I play jazz in my spare time

>Call my friend who also happens to be band leader of my big band
>We go and have one of the best nights of our lives
>Concert was great, really enjoyable and before and after we got to chat to Wynton and the other band members
>Talk after the concert slows down, and we figure we should take our leave as to not impose on them
>Make our excuses and begin to head off
>"Oh well that's a real shame fellas, we was gonna head over to the bar have some drinks and have a little private jam. We thought you'd want to come."

Always offer random acts of kindness where you can /mu/. You never know where it will lead.

>>75017486
That fucking solo-face.

I meet myself every day

This pasta is actually super believable with a Maynard. He is really like this.

>>75017627
>Only old balding white people
why is this sub overrun with white-hating antifa faggots the last week?

>>75018948
Jacob?

>>75019038
No I was 10.
Around that age one of my friends did ask me for sex, but he was a boy and when I declined he showed me his penis and ran around his room while screaming about how he wanted to have sex with me. I told his mom and from that point on he was no longer allowed to hang out with other kids after school.

>>75019141
No? Who are you?

>>75019159
Sounds like he wanted the D, bro.

>>75019173
Bella here
never could get The Urbz to work.

>>75019222
Haha.
I don't believe it's you, but I'm going to pretend it is anyway. Sup?

>>75019257
>>75019222
I think you're in there.

My mom's cousin was childhood friends with Gary Richrath from REO Speedwagon and he used to come over to their house and smoke pot with her cousin and play guitar up in his bedroom. Never met him but it's a neat story

>>75019273
What did he mean by this?

I met Lemmy once. I just shook his hand and told him to keep up the good work. True story.

>>75019565
What did he say?

>>75019608
I'll be fine

>>75019608
"I'll be fine"

Jarvis Cocker briefly

Had a nice chat with Gruff Rhys in a pub. Very nice bloke. Bought him a pint to make up for copying Radiator off a mate. Then he came and bought me one back and I was pissed and told him that Phantom Power and Lovekraft could've been combined to make one great album instead of two mediocre ones. Then they went on hiatus and I was sad in case I'd helped make up his mind.

I bumped into Father John Misty at electric picnic this year.

>“The thing about the Underground is nobody looks at anyone,” he adds. “If I do get somebody saying, ‘Are you Paul McCartney?’ I say, ‘Are you kidding? D’you think he’d be on the Underground?’ Then they go, ‘Oh yeah, well I suppose you’re right, yeah.’”
What a cheeky fella.

I met Aaron Funk once, he was fun to hang out with.
I played at a club about three years ago and he was playing after me and we hung out in the meanwhile

>>75021976
>Aaron Funk
He was an absolute cunt when I saw him at a festival.
Like, a proper fucking rude dickhead.
His set was fucking ridiculous though.

>>75022007
Yeah, he does act like a douche in fairness, how long ago was the festival?

I met Four Tet in the crowd before a Radiohead gig. I asked him why he was here with us and not backstage or something. I can't remember his response. I told him I liked his music a lot and he said thanks. Nice guy.
I have not met Radiohead.

>>75022128
I haven't met Radiohead either.

I gave the keyboard player from Mew a light in the parking lot of a venue last month. I didn't know what they looked like, so I didn't even know he was in the band.
