    Robert Plant. Totally chilled out, no rock star ego thing going on at all.
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

    aside from Miss Piggy, I would want to meet Mr. Plant.

    different reasons.

    that's because he is the man. he has zero to prove to anyone.
    he's getting to be a older gentleman all chillaxin badass style.

    i'd love to talk with Mr. Led Zep
    dude's somethin' else

    if mr. robert plant was in a stadium sitting in a chair reading and minding his own business
    whilst jesus h christ himself was across the street resting in a chair inside another stadium
    whose stadium would fill quicker?

    that's the league of this guy. pretty much out of this world i'm guessing.

  • My other half and I were hanging out at The Deck @ Trump Marina in Atlantic City when Vince Neil walked in. At first, we thought it was just a look-alike...but other people were going up and saying hi so we asked someone and they said it was really him. I went over to talk to him...and he was totally hammered. I had seen Motley Crue on their tour the year before when Samantha Maloney from Hole filled in. So I kind of yelled in his ear (the music was really loud), "What did you think of Samantha Maloney?" And he goes, "You want to blow me?" :roll: :lol: Anyway, then he said that she was great and all but that she'd never tour with them again 'cause she was fucking Nikki and his wife found out, lmao! My husband tried to buy him a shot of tequila but he declined cause he was drinking grey goose. We ended up hanging out at the bar for awhile, listening to stories of drunken debauchery. Then his girlfriend/wife (boobs on a stick) came in and got him a big glass of water, lol. He got up on stage and did a song too. It was pretty cool.

    Other than that...well, I got to shake Ed's hand after the Philly show last month!

    Met all of Alice in Chains at a signing back in '09. Best part of it was before I said anything to him, Mike asked me "What do you play?", and we got into a short discussion about Schecter guitars. Such a cool moment.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

  • I didn't meet him, but I saw Lou Ferrigno in a restaurant when I was little. And a few years ago Billy Connally walked right past me on the street, drinking a coffee.

    I cant say I actually MET him, but this past Friday I believe I saw Mr. Neil Peart.

    We were driving north on I-75 just inside Michigan when it came time to make a piss stop. I'm walking up to the welcome center , when this tall lanky, older guy comes walking back toward the parking lot. I had already seen a BMW bike with hard bags in the parking lot. I would swear it was Neil. I know the man rides this kind of bike, and his appearance,age, body type seemed to fit.

  • I guess the most famous person I ever met is comedian Jeremy Hotz. Most of you probably never heard of him, so not that famous I guess, lol
