Sorry if this thread is not needed, i come from a very uncontrolled forum (sonic youth)
What im curious about is, is it possible to get back stage with the band..or even meet J or the other guys after the gig, do they hang around and sign autographs eventually? Id love to just shake any of the bands hands.
Is there anything cool or impressive one can do to get this sort of attention
(this sounds so lame haha)
Thanks
(thanks mods, sorry for being in the wrong thread
)Hmm, it seems to me that 70% of the people who see them meet them oustide the club that they play in or before/after the show. I’m gonna try to meet them in June so I’ll see how that goes.
yea, as soon as i got in line for the 6/3 show i saw lou and ran up to him and shook his hand. Murph asked me where the sushi place was lol
it was cool, though when i was shaking lous hand i couldnt make words come out of my mouth.
After the first two shows in Chicago the whole band spent about half an hour outside hanging with the crew and what not. All of the guys were very polite and approachable. The highlight was my girlfriend asking J if he wanted to smoke a bowl, his response priceless.
I noticed a lot of people were too intimidated to say anything to them, just remember they’re people too.
Yea, it’s not that hard to meet Dino. In Ann Arbor, I was talking to J for a couple seconds (really awkward), and then after the show, I gave Murph a pat on the back and said he did a great job and he stopped to say "thanks." Yea, so they usually just hang around before and after the shows.
I have met J twice (briefly). The first in Edinburgh when he was in the crowd watching the support act. The second tiime was outside the venue itself, when they were filming and stuff for the DVD. It was pretty funny as J tried to walk past the bouncers at the door who, not knowing who he was, demanded a ticket. Eventually they let him in when the rest of the crowd told the doorman "that’s f@$cking J Mascis, ya c&%k" – we we’re in Glasgow afterall…
can’t say i’ve ever met dino, sadly.
or anyone from a big band really. i was sitting behind Stuart braithwaite (mogwai) at a Terry Riley gig (afterwards me, my dad and our mate walked past him and the bassist from mogwai, i think, and he was rambling about how awesome the time signatures were or something, so my dad goes and yells "WEEGIES WI GUITARS! MINT!" don’t ask why), walked past Patti Smith in Newcastle, saw Tony Allen after a Good The Bad & The Queen gig… never once talked to anyone.
I have no idea how to hang with the gang. If you get to meet the band, don’t offer sex to them. That is old school groupie mentality. The first thing you should ask is if the singer writes his own lyrics, and if they say no you must hold onto that secret as if your balls were above your penis. If they say yes they do, and it’s J Mascis, you should tell him he should write a book about all these experiences with women. Of course, to hang with J and his friends you need to be an artist, sharer, rich or generally screwed up person. It would help you to know that to hang with J you’d have to search Amherst and find out that he really lived in LA. I have no idea how to hang with the gang, looks like it’d be a let down. Unless I can magically pick up all of the band’s talent in one after show meeting. I have no idea how to hang with the gang.
Maybe J doesn’t want to talk to anyone, or want any new friends.- You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
