These are the ones I could think of off the top of my head; there are probably more that I'm just drawing a blank on. I've at least gotten an autograph from them, chatted a bit, or hung out with them. I'm not saying which ones I've hung out with.

So....... Are these all people from bands or solo artists?

I've only met the members of Damsel Fly, because they're originally from Portland and my dad knew the lead singer personally.

I edited my post to show which were bands. The rest were solo artists/musicians.

I've met my brother and his band

Wait, why does "Monster" Mike Welch remind me of Brian "Head" Welch

I don't know. I've never heard of Brian "Head" Welch. "Monster" Mike Welch is a blues artist who came to fame as a teenager. I think he stopped using "Monster" when he reached adulthood, though.

Switchblade Symphony (Tina Root)
Gary Numan
Exene Cervenka (X)
John Beers (Happy Flowers)
guitarist from Black Market Baby (early 80s DC hardcore punk band)
Michael Lachowski and Venessa Briscoe Hay (Pylon)
Widespread Panic (my brother was best friends with them.. I didn't care for their music though :/ )
Cinema Strange
Ausgang (they used my guitar amp for one of their US gigs in 2004)


Probably others I'm forgetting.

Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, met him the morning after the show outside a bar not far from our hotel. Ha, he was quite hungover.

Opted, you are so lucky :3

Can't say I've met that many well-known musicians. I have met one, though: Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine. I met him at Lollapalooza '03, when Audioslave was one of the main acts. Shook hands, chatted a bit, got his autograph on an Axis of Justice poster.

Ozzie Wright from the Goons Of Doom...

I met him at a small gig he did here...

He initiated the handshake and smiled and listened to what i had to say and we had a little conversation about surfing as hes also a professional surfer... and that was a massive thing for me for someone i look up to sooooooo much to give me his time and respect when i was so nervous being in his vicinity and he had a show to start...

Hmmm...from most well known to most obscure, perhaps?

Steven Tyler from Aerosmith (used to frequent my coffee shop)
LL Cool J (he was hitting on service worker at airport)
Donovan (waited on him at restaurant)
Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips (played boombox for at show, conversed in passing several times)
