First thing that went through my mind when I first saw your avatar-picture Mr. E... "Now there's a coke-head if I ever saw one!"

[Izzy HaveMercy]

Not fair of course, because I am fame incarnated

Shared stages and backstages with metalbands such as Cradle of Milf, Within Temptation, Dimmu Borgir, Ancient Rites, Tiamat and Samael, and other weirdo's such as Front 242, Death In June, The Protagonist and Rome.

Most memorable moment is getting pished in the backstage with Danni Filth and deciding to plunder the fridge of the blokes next door, who happened to be Tiamat. Useless to say there wasn't much left to pilfer apart from still water and oranges

We pilfered the next backstage room anyway, never knew whose it was but I remember the people from In the Woods walking around on the festival area with a face like a stormcloud and slightly more sober than usual

I hold an official world record.

Used to know Stuart Adamason from Big Country. (My dad baptised his kids and we used to go carol singing round their house.)

Bought a Vice Versa album off eBay from a seller who turned out to be Vice Versa member and ABC sax player Stephen Singleton.

Once worked on an (ultimately unmade) video script for which Jon Pertwee was requesting that I give him fewer lines.

Made a (really bad) advert. Only ever seen in Scotland.

A few music/TV/snooker (!) autographs as well.

It hardly matters, though, innit? It's the equivalent of:

("I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party")
Blow it out your hairdo, 'cause you work at Hardees

-The Dead Milkmen, "Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance to Anything)"





Oh, and I forgot: I got my left foot jumped on - and was then apologized to - by C.C. DeVille at a Knack show (Hollywood, CA, 1988); hung out with Motorcycle Boy and their hair-metal pals before/after their show - kind of doesn't count, though, because I worked with one of Motorcycle Boy's members (Hollywood, CA, 1992), met the guys from Pleasure Club (Chicago, IL, 2004), etc., etc.

If only fame worked via osmosis, eh?

[itnAklipse]

Phuck phame.

Nothing too exciting here.

My neighbour growing up was quite a famous political cartoonist.

A friend's bother used to play guitar (and wear a fetching underpants/fur coat combo) in a "legendary Irish rock band" in the 80s.

Think that's about it.

-I helped Ulf Merbold with his glider plane a couple of times at Bonn-Hangelar Airfield and had some extended chats with him. (Not exactly a one for small talk, but good for a converstaion.)

[EvilBastard]

I used to work with Ritchie Stotts, The Plasmatics' ax-man.

don't take my comments/posts so serious, that my advice for you Ms.

[Obviousman]

I talked to the frontmen of FGG and ARF, does that count

Other than that hardly anything international, I was in a pilot for a talk show once but we ended up not being broadcast and everyone who things he/she is famous in Flanders shops at my local supermarket. Can't think of any big things really other than this...

[GC]

Once danced next to the official Hitman and Her regular dancer (the black one with long hair).

Once served some of the cast of Brookside whilst working in a pub in Wales (included here was the one who played Bob the prostitute in Blackadder).

In the same pub served Mike Peters.

Shook hands with Prince Charles when I was ten and in the Cubs.

Drank in the same pub as Bob Mortimer

I lived in the 20th century, together with great ones like Eldo.
