    Ever meet your hero?

    Well, pretty much any cool celebrity. I had the ultimate awesomeness of meeting my idol Angus Young at an IHOP after a show in 2001. It was the Stiff Upper Lip tour. I got there, and saw him and nearly pissed myself! It was him and Malcolm Young. After I finally got the courage to talk, we chatted for about a half hour (It was mainly me talking about how much I worship him and his guitar playing). But after a while, he grabbed two Gibson SG's out of his rent-a-car and I showed him how much I knew of their songs, which is a lot. And after a while (By now it was probably 2 AM) we finally left...reluctantly...but I had a ton of autographs!

    I also had the...ahem...convenience of meeting Bam Margera. If you don't know him, he was in Jackass and was the star in the MTV show Viva La Bam. And me, being a big Jackass fan, went up to him and ask for an autograph, he basically just said "F*** off kid." Yeah, not my favorite moment in meeting-a-celebrity times. Eh, I thought it would have been cool. But I saw him once or twice more, didn't even bother trying to talk to him. I saw him at some skate parks back when I used to skateboard. He only lives about 10 minutes from my house.

    I was close to meeting Slash at a Velvet Revolver concert. But he got swarmed by a crowd and ended up leaving. Eh, I was close. I probably would have pissed him off, mainly because I really know him from GnR, and barely any of his music from Velvet Revolver.

    I met Orgy like 3 years ago. They played at House of Blues here in Orlando. I was so stoked. I got to meet them at the autography signing. I shook their hands and I have a photograph of them that they all signed.

    Still have yet to meet Mr. Reznor himself...

    I've never met anybody famous. However somebody I work with once got Tom Cruise calling in when his HP laptop bugged up... apparently he was a huge douchebag. Somehow I believe that.

    i have two heroes, i met one back in march.

    hero #1- Lord Gold. the keyboardist of HORSE The Band. Why? because his name is lord gold. and he plays keyboards. and hes hxc. i got to briefly talk to him after a show.

    hero #2- Derren Brown. what this guy does is just scary. if any real criminal knew what he did, we would all be ****ed. but that's why hes awesome.

    Met SA Martinez, singer for 311.

    needless to say i was completely in awe and just kinda stared at him.

    One of the great memories of my lifetime. Such a random and awesome moment. Just saw him walking down the street before a show, not even trying to look for him. Shook his hand, chatted for a bit, it was great.
