Have you been able to meet any of members of those bands/ artists? Any good stories you care to share that way?JOEJOEJOE said:
I work on the fringe of the music business (CPA for several artists/bands) so I have gotten some good perks over the years, however, most of my shows have been attended as a "civilian".brianlux said:
Check out the list toward the back of the bands I wish I had seen. A friend who I sent the book too wrote back and said, "I've seen about 75% of those bands". I was a bit envious but then he's in the business so I guess it makes sense!JOEJOEJOE said:
I started going to shows in 1980 when I was 14....will be interesting to see what tours we both saw!brianlux said:

I've been lucky enough to meet/get to know a bunch of cool artists, however, due to professional ethics, I can't really kiss and tell.brianlux said:

Divorce is a rough go- hard on the emotions and a hell of a lot of legal hassle. I wish you the best.When you get things settled, there will be a copy for you. The chances of my selling all 100 are about as good as my being able to play the entire song "Stairway to Heaven" flawlessly, LOL. I'll keep one for you on my shelf just in case."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

You need a good lawyer when going through a divorce...brianlux said:Meltdown99 said:I am going through a divorce.

And although it probably won't help with your legal fees, I'll enclose a free $1 million dollar bill with your copy!In all seriousness, best of luck. I hope things iron out as smoothly as possible.And P.S. Maybe add a note (or PM me here) when you place your order so I'll know its you and then I'll sign it to your user name.Post edited by brianlux on"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

But I figure someone, somewhere likes every kind of music and with even the little I know about how much effort it takes to make music/ produce a record, I won't be the one to call it "bad music".Post edited by brianlux on"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0
