    ok, mine is not that great, but I have met these people at Lolla shows and Ozzfest type places:
    Fred Durst..3 times
    Fieldy from Korn
    Spider from Powerman 5000
    and the Filter minus Richard Patrick

    the coolest people though was the entire Marley family after we saw Violent femmes and the Ziggy Marley show. That was pretty cool. Also met Tre from Green Day and he was pretty cool as well.

    I met Michael Stipe in Calgary in 2004. He is tiny in person! I had to tell him how much I appreciated R.E.M.'s music over the years and he was so shy & humble. A totally surreal experience

    Neil Young - backstage in at one of his solo shows in 98'..awesome I talked his ear off!

    Tom Morello - sat beside him at a Springsteen show last year, really nice, Springsteen dedicated Youngsville to him.

    Mike Gordon from PHiSH - ran into him outside a store downtown TO, he was too busy on his phone and didn't wanta really bug him so really I just stopped and stood there...geek yes I am :)

    Sam Roberts and his band - met him outside before a soundcheck and he invited me and my daughter who was five at the time in for the soundcheck and they played Rockn in the Free World for her...reallly nice.

    Damon Albarn and Alex James from Blur - Met them at a Tims after their show in Kitchener back in 97'
