what about getting an autograph for somebody?

i wouldnt hesitate about getting one for my daughter if the oppertunity presented itself.

Why, she wasn't there, she didn't see any of them, what would be the meaning of it?

I don't think waiting around Wrigley is any worse than waiting around a venue after a show, but the hotel obviously can be a problem unless everyone acts nice and calm.

i mean... PJ just raked in a massive amount of money here in two days and I don't think a small group asking for an autograph is that big a deal. It does suck when people just lose their composure or the dealers (do people really make money these days doing that) fly up and ruin it.

I don't want an autograph as much as to just say Hi, but I'm too lazy to really make sure I get that done.

i phoned her during Even Flow too,she wasnt there,but it meant a hell of a lot to her.

its the thought behind it.i know she'd love me to do that for her.it would make her day.

"Take my hand, not my picture"

I read something else then the posters who are laughing...

Seems to me he means to follow him in his music not to see him as an icon.

Not to grab his hand if you see the opportunity... :evil:

And you just pass away the other line:

I don't want to hear from those who know.
They can buy but can't put on my clothes.
I don't want to wait for them to walk.
Never would have known of me before.

and that is more saying about it then the "take my hand" joke...

But i consider myself a lucky men... i don't spend time at a hotel to wait for a glimp or scratch.
You gotto do want you want to do but understand the fact that it aint that much fun for PJ as you think it is.

as a man in his 30's, i would feel creepy as hell waiting outside anybody's hotel. to each his own, but damn, of all celebrities to stalk, EV is the last who would want his "fans" staking out his hotel i think.

I think I understand the metaphors in his lyrics.
Well, until someone writes "Spelled my -T-shirt" at which point it makes me re-think my
whole interpretation.

Although silly, I could see doing it as a teenager. Now I would feel like a creep.

Try "Spilled my tincture"

It's a strange subject - in my mind I'd love to get pictures/autographs with them and all that stuff. I think it depends on the situation though.

For example had the pleasure of watching a NIN soundcheck a few years back and had a 'meet and greet' where everyone brought something to sign and you had a very short chat with the guys which was great. However I've bumped into the drummer of Clutch a few times before gigs and asking for an autograph or picture didn't even cross my mind (even though I do think I'd like and autograph and/or picture), we just chatted for a while each time and now when he sees us he always comes over to say hello (as long as too many people aren't around) and has a quick chat.

So yeah, I reckon it depends on the situation with regards to autographs/pictures etc. I don't think it's 'wrong' or 'lame' etc to want such things, but it probably is best to leave it for times when the band 'expects' such things, such as pre/post shows - if you bump into them in the street or somewhere when they aren't 'on duty' I'd probably prefer a quick chat!

Damned... and i always used this site for lyrics and followed it blind... http://www.lukin.com

Seemed very logic to me (spelled my T-shirt)... but now.... it has a whole new meaning... :? i'm confused


But offcourse Eddie has a rather free hand of changing lyrics...

ok i think it is kinda ironic that this is under the autographed gutair post on the topic list

I know its weird, but I always thought I'd pretend to not know who they were and just ask them the time or something...I hate the idea of them thinking "Oh shit, not another fan" will grinning through their teeth and signing whatever crap I have in my pocket at the time.

Who am I kidding, I'd be dryhumping their leg!!!

The better option for people hoping to hang with him wouldve been to go to a certain Chicago bar. I was there until close and 'only' met Jeremy Roenick, and wasnt able to get into VIP (unlike a lot of PJammers, I'm just not selfless enough).... oh well! Bar was half empty and we were all hopeful that Eddie would grace us with a small set, but I'm sure he waited til after we left and the bar was 'shut down' :(

i have heard about this bar but he was with family so i thought he would go back to the hotel with them

Me too... btw though, Jeremy Roenick is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I met him about ten years ago and I have yet to meet anyone as nice as he was.

Yea JR was nice, he brought down the PJammer couple I was sitting with to hang out with EdVed... I had to leave at close with the 'commoners', and they got to stay....

Yes it was family and friends only, but some people that knew workers were able to go hang out :(

Yeah, unfortunately that's how it goes with those things. One day I'll meet some cool connections and all that fun stuff. Until then I am sitting out on the curb with the rest of us!
