**:!: when did you meet him?! sure you may think he is an *** but he is one talented singerā¦one of the best!! oh and why was he an *** and an idiot? im pretty surprised to hear thatā¦:-\ **
i got a backstage pass at the omaha, ne concert last year. i was excited to meet him, as was my best friend, so i thought that he would at least be a nice guy and be able to carry on a nice conversations with his fans. but no, instead, he introduced himself and then we introduced ourselves and heās like āoh i have to get a massage, but iāll see you guys laterā. riiiiiight. he had to get a massage? what kind of a lame excuse is that?
needless to say, we left because i donāt like when people waste my time, just like he did, no matter how important or popular they are. so yeah, i think iām pretty right when i say heās an ***.
that doesnāt discount his talent or that he is a great artist. i just donā t like his personality. the moment he walked into the room, i just didnāt feel too good about him. kind of an extremely negative vibe.
i still LOVE tool and i wonāt say that tool sucks just because the singer is an ***. theyāre still a great band and iād pay to see them again.
and i called him an idiot because he had to make up a lame excuse to get rid of us. i know when iām not wanted somewhere, but making up lame excuses just makes me mad. maybe i was wrong in calling him an idiot, so letās rephrase that and say he was a total jerk.

:bounce: **
thatās far from disturbing. thatās one of the best pictures of him ever!!!
pinx:
he may have had a massage to go to. He prob sees hundreds of āfansā each and every show. Sometimes they are busy, and the āfansā get the shaft, but at least you got backstage.
Backstage is not the place to meet the stars. They are swamped with people who want something from them, and they donāt usually have much free time (I have a few friends in the business, and have visited them backstage many times when they come back into town, and even then they have very little time to chat).
Give the guy a break, at least he wasnāt totally rude to you.
As I said, he may have actually had a massage waiting for him (it could have been a fan who is a masseuse, and wanted to give him a massage, and if he didnāt go now, he wouldnāt get it), or he could have been trying to be nice, and make up an excuse. Either way you prob werent the only fan backstage that wanted to āchatā with himā¦

but then why bring us backstage if the almighty maynard doesnāt have any time. blowing people off is rude.
but anyways, i donāt think iāll ever go backstage again. some of the other fans there were so idiotic that i was ashamed to be in the same room as them. to me itās kinda like inviting somebody to your house. theyāre a guest and you have to have the decency to hang out with your guests.
but anyways, i really couldnāt give a **** about maynard. just my opinion.
did Maynard give you the passes himself?
backstage is mostly hype IMOā¦
The people back there are strange at bestā¦
The only good things about backstage is the clean bathrooms with no line, and the free beer in the Bandās roomā¦
The rest is all bullsh** ā¦
Everyone else is still prob bragging about how they got backstageā¦ itās all in the viewā¦
Rev
hahha, yeah. oh my god, you should have seen some of the chicks there. this one girl decided to flash all of us and show us all her tattoos, including the ones on her boobs.
i asked her how old she is and sheās like āiām 26ā. then i told her that i wasnāt interested in seeing her tits. if i wanted to look at some, iād look at mine. she got pissed and called me a āprudeā. hahahhahahaha
I have a board that I have stuck all of my passesā¦ Itās a pretty piece of art, and a great conversation piece, but thatās about itā¦
As a matter of fact, I just remembered, the last 2 times a certain friend came into town, I didnāt even go backstage (there was a huge line just to say hi)ā¦ Of course I knew he was going to be at the group BBQ the next day anywayā¦ And he is the most gracious of all of them ( he always makes time for the āfansā ).
There seems to be a whole bunch of the girls āwho throw their panties on the stageā who hang out backstageā¦ What a goal in lifeā¦
Rev
and she was so nasty looking, ugh. but then again, she said she was from iowa, so i canāt hold the fact that sheās a slut against her. (no offence to anybody from iowa here, itās just that iowa has some of the sluttiest girls around).
god, itās so sad. a couple weeks ago at the RHCP concert, this one girl decided to moon everybody and then other girls followed suit with flashing and making out. itās really getting on my nerves. every concert i go to, somebody has to start that bull. itās getting old.
I know what you meanā¦
That is why I rarely go to stadium shows if at all anymore. The smaller the venue, the better, IMOā¦
The largest show I have been to in years has been Jazz Fest in New Orleans (still has a small stage feel to it). Other than that one, most shows I see are in a venue that seats less than 2500 people. One reason I love living in San Francisco, we have lots of small venues the bands like to play. Tom Petty booked one venue for 3 weeks of showsā¦ now that was pretty cool to be in the crowd of some of thoseā¦
Rev
well when you live in the middle of nowhere (aka. nebraska) there are only big shows, and very few little venues. i liked seeing 311 in a small venue in omaha. it was a great atmosphere. the venue fit less than a thousand people. big venues can be good though when theyāre outside because people spread out more and you can just sit in the grass and chill. thatās why iām excited to see pearl jam in kansas city next month. itās an outside venue with a whole lawn section. i just hope it doesnāt rain.
We have a few outdoor venues that arenāt too bigā¦
The Greek @ Berkely is fairly small (5k), and we have a couple of amphitheaters that hold around 25k. All with lawn sections.
I have to go to the Greek to see Ben Harper play anymore. Unless Iām lucky enough to get in on the private showsā¦ It happens when your friends get bigā¦

<b>Mental Note:</b>
Get yourself to iowaā¦
haha, unless you want an STD, get yourself as far away from iowa as possible.
pinx, where did you score the backstage pass from?
if i was in your position i would have been just lost for wordsā¦i mean what do you say to someone who produces the music you love :love: im jealous now
