who's met billy and done this...

lawson · 09-25-2003, 01:27 PM

not asked him for anything. no autograph, picture. and i dont mean like you met him once and got a picture but didnt the next time. i've never asked for anything but i did get to play with him so maybe that's not fair.

frenchy · 09-25-2003, 01:42 PM

I've refused his autograph and signed one for him in Toulouse...

Billy's reaction : "french humour"

Nice one!

wounded · 09-25-2003, 03:38 PM

if i met him i wouldn't ask him for anything, maybe say hi, shake hands, but that is it. i would never ask anyone for an autograph. i don't see the point in them

sarasvati · 09-25-2003, 04:22 PM

I talked to him very briefly after the zwan show in toronto in march...I shook his hand...didn't ask for any pictures or autographs because I already have a few autographs and he seemed to be in a hurry.

The Pantsmaster · 09-25-2003, 04:36 PM

I met Billy and Jimmy the night before a signing in Boston and did not ask for anything because I was getting their autographs the next day. If I did have a camera, however, I would have asked for a picture with them.

jczeroman · 09-25-2003, 04:38 PM

I've met him twice and never asked for anything.

Dead · 09-25-2003, 04:40 PM

I have never met him, but he walked past me at the back door of Glass House and I felt excited like a girl. I felt stupid afterwards.

Reyngel · 09-25-2003, 04:42 PM

I met Billy at the San Diego signing and got my Adore booklet signed, shook his hand, but that doesn't count. But I also met him before the Seattle Zwan show. Didn't ask him for anything.

Irrelevant · 09-25-2003, 05:26 PM

let's see. i went to about 4 aftershows and a soundcheck and was around him quite a bit and never asked for an autograph or a picture.

bonsor · 09-25-2003, 06:17 PM

at the autograph signing, he just took my poster and signed it. i didn't really ask for it.

i acted like a fucking idiot though. i get starstruck way too easily by him.

Injektilo · 09-25-2003, 06:23 PM

I met him at the Metro aftershow party, and I just asked to shake his hand. I like that better than a autograph actually.

alisonmonster · 09-25-2003, 06:30 PM

if i ever did get to meet him all i would want to say is , "thanks for the great music. it really does mean a lot to me." that's all i'd really want to do. Shake his hand or somthing.

great? eh that's a bit much. It's VG, but great.... eh i dont think so

maybe i need to listen to more sp, and a lot less zwan.

np: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Piano Sonata #14 'Moonlight' 2nd Movement

yeah , more SP. great for me personally - but i know a lot of intelligent people who hate SP with a passion. I studied classical piano for 10 (horrendous) years. I know Beethoven

i'm all about choral liturgical stuff...

loving rachmaninov atm

and so many tape recorders got confiscated that only one made it even up to the point where we were being picked from the audience - then it ran out.

but yea, even without that i wouldnt ask anyway. i do though have a pic of me with ben folds only because my friend's mom (who imagines herself a groupie hoe to bands like live and, well im guessing nickelback) happened to be there at the same time and was all (boston/new jersey accent) "lemme get a picture of you all!"

actually, you know i dont even know where that picture is anymore... i got barry and bobby bonds' autograph in 91 at a card show. i've been meaning to locate that ever since bobby died.

anyway my basic point is, i dont really think its right to ask for a picture because that's only either proof to your friends that you met them, or some sort of sick (and common) personal boost to yourself- "my life sucks. but look! there i am standing next to a famous person!" eh, but im not really trying to make a big deal of it. in fact if a star denied someone a picture i'd be the first to call them sucky

I've never had the opportunity, but given the chance I would probably act like a moron and shake his hand get an autograph, possibly a pic. You know, all stalker like and stuff.

OnTopicMan · 09-26-2003, 05:24 AM

I asked Billy for his lunch money.

Then you can legitimately call Billy Corgan sucky. He denied a picture request with me.

siamese_soma · 09-26-2003, 03:56 PM

never met him hopefully i will sometime, but i would just like to shake his hand and have a brief conversation with him

GirlMedia · 10-24-2003, 04:21 AM

I use to joke with people, because I was always teased as the one person who like SP in a group, that I would ask to rub his head and be granted 3 wishes.

(yes...insert pun here...as it was intended)

Actually, at the Charlotte, NC in-store signing during the Machina era, one of my friends asked Billy if she could rub his Buddha head, and he said yeah. I thought that was a pretty lame thing to ask, but how was I to stop her?

oui henri · 10-24-2003, 11:54 AM

when i met him in Toronto i was holding my camera but i was way too starstruck to do anything with it and he asked me if i wanted to take his picture.
