    I thought you'd have a stash. Dig them up and stick them with your records or something. My bud had a couple dimebag Darrell picks right from the stage rocking out with him at a small club Pantara's cowboys from hell tour. gave one away and lost his. @Attaway77 want to post yours here please...

    I have some from Metallica and Kings Of Leon . I have to find them though.

    Found ‘em:

    -Scott Ian from Anthrax and Jesse Hughes from Eagles of Death Metal had Rip Taylor on his :lol:
    -The two John Pearse ones are from a Kings of Leon show before they got big (like '03 or '04)
    -and the two below them are Metallica
    -Then you have Offspring, cKy, RNDM (Joseph Arthur) and  The Burning Brides
    -The last two I have no idea where they came from/I forget.

    Awesome!! Pentagram maybe slayer, king diamond. I don't know. I'm pretty sure you've been to a few hundred shows. Just think of the most evil ones.

    doing some research, the last two might be from an Anthrax show as well.

    Kind of makes sense. I think the latest Mr Bungle show Scott Ian was using that satanic bunny pick!

    eeriepadave, since we're in the "Other Music" section I didn't say anything about Pearl Jam picks, but that yellow Tortex Dunlop pick? I got one of those from Mike McCready, so any chance that's where you got yours too? Mine looks exactly like that.

    Heres a few randoms from over the years. The Alice pick is from Jerry Cantrell show in LA in Dec. ‘19. He had a rack of Guild acoustics with a pick sitting next to each guitar. I just went down the line casually swiping picks while laughing my ass off. The Metallica is from when they played a secret show billed as The Frayed Ends at the Troubadour (capacity 400)  in West Hollywood in May 1988. I was front row and asked Kirk for a pick, A Spike Cassidy pick from the ‘80s that Lou will appreciate, and a Jeff Angell Staticland pick from the Viper Room show in ‘16.

    All gold Dana.  Those shows must have been killer!
    Spike pick is smoking.  I got one from him but he uses plain orange tortex picks with no graphics now. He said he would draw something on mine! Nahh.
    Yep I've swiped and laughed a few times. I feel like I'm saving them from destruction. 

    Pulled Vinny Stigma's right from his clenched teeth.

    watched this pick sail through the air and land in the pit at Terminal 5 nyc show. Moshed my way over to it. It's  a massive one.

    old friend is drummer for this prog metal band sx. Pick was obtained from a show at Grammercy  nyc. Spotted a couple in the stage and asked roadie for one.  Guitarist is fantastic. I think it's  one of those 'teardrop 'picks blux was talking about.

    lastly  a beautifully shredded pick from our friend Joseph Arthur  who seems to talk too much lately. It was from the first show they did ballad of boogie christ. Warm up show. Caught him playing at some dudes house.

    My days of wanting or getting guitar picks for myself are pretty much long ago... But as the mom of a 12 yr old, a few months ago I got the chance to be "The BEST Mom Ever" when, after taking her to see Willow Smith, and a crowd screaming for guitar picks during & after the show, I was the only person who quietly secured a guitar pick and setlist for my daughter, who was literally like "MOM! Where did you get those???" and she got the cool points from all her friends.

    Honestly, while I do like Willow myself (she's a talented songwriter & quite good live!), I was mesmerized by her guitar picks during the show so really, I wanted one too LOL! They were so sparkly...

    Also, though not a guitar pick, the only time in recent years (and as we reopened live shows) I really wanted something from a musician onstage, it was during our 1st indoor concert back in Sept, the Roots, and at the end of the show ?uestlove the incredible drummer/music director/film director/music professor held up a drumstick like "Who wants it?" and I started waving like crazy from my seat about 7 rows back, and he saw me and threw it almost directly to me, and when I tell you if there was video of me climbing on my seat trying to catch it, barely missing it, getting airborne & ending up across the armrests of 3 seats in our row on my back, laughing like crazy but masked so everyone thought I was crying, and the couple who did catch it handing it to me and saying "Um, I think this was meant for you... and you seem to really want it..." Yeah, I'm old, but I'm still willing to go all in for things that are truly worthwhile ;)  =)=)  !  So this was the only thing I asked for for me in a long while - super happy to have it on the bookshelf next to my desk...


    Side note on this.  If you haven't heard Willow Smiths new music, please do.  I can guarantee most of you will actually enjoy it.  Very indie sounding.

    Hilarious!!! 

    Yep. When i worked hard(waiting all night) for rail it always felt wild to turn around and face the crowd. Gave me a tiny sense of how a band must feel. 
    Missed this when you first posted it, yes, isn'nt that crazy to turn around and see from the very front? Except I'm super short, so when I turn around from the front row, all I see is the chest and neck of the people behind me... =)

    My 'foil' pick. Brian Kehoe  (talented unique guitarist) floor score at Les Claypool's duo de twang show at Mckittrick hotel in nyc feb 2014. Pretty pick was waiting for me on the floor.
    Purty! I dig the foil thing!

    Riiiight? First I just listened so I wouldn't be totally bored at the show when I took my daughter. Then I started listening to whole albums, and especially the new one, is damn catchy and for pop music it's got weighty subjects and really good music!

    She's also very very good live.

    Next stop is next week, we got tix for Billie Eilish way back when, only to find when support bands were announced, Willow is opening our show. I'm actually really excited, because Eilish is fantastic live, even if one is not into the music itself, the SHOW is fantastic.  And I like Eilish's music too, courtesy of my kiddo again.
