Well-spotted. I wonder if he ever looks at this forum anymore.

If you could get rid of the fanboys and just treat them as normal people I imagine more “celebrity” players would come join us on the forum.

Not musicians but I have befriended a couple of “celebrities” in my life and they are just normal people.

Some slebs used to post here, but excessive adulation isn't the reason they stopped.

As the story goes.. two of her male friends were on a night out and were playing around with a traffic cone.. and when approached by a police officer and quizzed about their antics they replied “we’re just innocent men, we’re just normal men” which Lauren found extremely funny lol.

The celeb I enjoyed most that posted here was Ed King. RIP. That man was kind and willing to share.

Yeah I know, I couldn’t think of a better word. I know the overwhelming adulation can be a bit much though. Especially if someone just wants to come hang out and relax.

I wish they did come back.

Then they asked what PC Plod had under his helmet, I heard.

One thing I will say about “famous” players coming and chatting with us is I wish many were able to be more accessible. What I mean by that is many fans worship the ground people walk on. I don’t believe in doing that.

There are many artists who I would love to sit and chat with or email/message chat with and just talk guitar. Glorified gear talk so to speak.

I don’t even like getting peoples autographs. If someone autographed something precious of mine I’d be kind of bummed as I like to keep things unmolested. I am a big book guy. I don’t even like books being messed with.

The whole celebrity worship thing has gone from my life. What’s funny is when I was younger it probably would be different. Maybe I would want peoples autographs. When I went to a Clapton show in 2008 I was a big fan and probably a bit more fanboy than I am today.

My brother met Roger Daltrey at a bar after a who show one year. That was a funny moment.

Ed was awesome man. Great addition to the forum. I actually kind of feel bad these years later as I had a bit of a laugh over a photo of him where he was joking around. I hope I didn’t offend him but either way he was such a fantastic person to have here.

I think each and every one of us is a celebrity in our own right.

The autographs are weird. The real autograph is the art they made. That is the true personal stuff if you want something from an artist.
A name feels more like a "hairsample". They do not sell "hair".


I would rather have Then Play On, on vinyl (well I have that one)
Instead of the bands hair or skinsample...

When I worked at a record company.. and I admired the artist and their work.. I’d ask for an autographed single/LP .. but I’d asked them to be as rude as possible.. they always relished this request.. had some corkers over the years.. but the best was:

To Marc
You basted (bastard spelt wrong)

Ozzy

On a copy of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Seemed to me that JB left about the time TW did. Maybe just a coincidence though. But are there coincidences?

"Somehow", it became uncool to be here.
