Motley Crue and Kiss have done that, been selling themselves for a "platinum package". I hope Guns don't go there, but if they did...I do think it's wrong but...

I Don't know. It's been a dream of mine to meet axl probably since I was six and realised while watching MTV that the only person who might be as cool as him was the guy standing on his piano playing guitar. But whenever I have met people at signings and stuff where it's kind of forced upon them it has never gone as well as say waiting for the end of a Misfits show and hanging out with Jerry Only or when I did the same for Gilby and he talked to me and my friends for a half an hour-Graciously. So I'm gonna say I wouldn't pay for a meet and greet but I would love to meet him after a show somehow.

i think its a good idea tho.  this way the people who are big enough fans and have the means get an easy opportunity to meet their fav band without battling crowds, lines, groupies, etc.  Its not like someone like Axl has the time to meet every fan in the arena.

I'm not willing to pay Axl himself in order to meet him, but if I was to pay someone to get me close to Axl, I would!  :)

thing is.. maybe "real fans" like paris hilton and people like that would meet n' greet the band.. i think it's better the way it's handled right now.. i'm glad someone like gunnerdownunder got to meet the band instead of a rich fugger u know


(i don't mean PH personally, i mean annoying rich brats who are poser fans)

I'd give a kidney to meet Axl. After all, I do have two.

I would like to have an opportunity to properly meet any of the band members. Of course meeting Axl would be a crazy experience, but even an option to meet the rest of the band members somehow would be pretty great. As somebody else said, instores are a good opportunity to meet the fans and get things signed but its too forced upon. It's not the same as meeting a band member randomly on the street, or outside a venue.

That's the deal where Axl hands you a Big Mac then tells you to go fuck yourself.

I'd pay $1000 if it included:

VIP Ticket/Section for the show
Backstage passes for before show
After Party-VIP access for after the show

Not much.  It surely means much more when you just meet them randomly.

Honestly, I wouldn't know what the hell to say.  I have enough trouble with non-famous strangers.   :hihi:  He's got to know there are tons of us fans out in the world that support him.   :)

you'd have to have a lot of disposable income or be completely retarded to pay any amount of money to "meet" somone famous. 

big fucking deal, you PAID SOMEONE to talk to you. 

lame.

didn't MJ charge 3,000 for 30 seconds in japan or something?  haha classic.

anything for a dollar :)

If it includes an after party GnR style, then I would dish out some big bucks.  Also there can't be that many at the party, it would dillute the experience.

I wouldn't want to meet him.

Maybe I'd meet him and it wouldn't live up to the expectation.

I nearly paid $300 for an aftershow pass, but I ended up getting around 18 passes for free.  : ok:

If the money were going to a charity I might fork over some to meet him, but I wouldn't do it if the money were going to him.  I don't really like the idea but if people would pay to meet me, can't say I wouldn't do it!!!!!

it's like paying for sex.

and only prostitute I'm willing to pay is the "prostitute" from the album.

Horrible idea.
It  would  be a superficial, commercial, shallow  nothingness. Another "obligation" for the band to fulfill. It  would be empty and meaningless  to the fans.

The specialness  of meeting the band is  that it is special, and not everyone gets  to do it. If it  all came down to  who has money to spend  to meet the band, then the specialness is gone and it becomes  an exercise  in padding the bank accounts of the band. Period.

Nothing. But then again, I've already met the whole band.

Yeah, there is no doubt about it that I would give a kidney or even a testicle to meet the man.  Dead serious too... One of my ultimate goals in life is to meet Axl Rose.  Always has been, always will be until it happens.

For chicks, lets just say - it's not what you know but who you blow.  :hihi:

For example I was chatting to some chicks outside the Melbourne gig on Sat night before it started.  They looked pretty tidy which was why I was chatting to them.  ;)

Anyhow, they were telling me they had backstage passes so when I asked how they got them they told me that they worked in a strip club and someone from the tour crew (or promotor or something I can't recall exactly) had come in a previous night and handed them out to all the girls.

Keep in mind that at the actual meet and greet, Axl doesn't show up. At his and the bands party, there was a hot girl there and I was later told that she was a stripper. Basically too, if you are a hot girl near the front, you get into the meet and greet.. then at the meet and greet, if you get friendly with someone from the band, you get to the private party.


Title: Re: Meet and Greet
Post by: ppbebe on June 26, 2007, 07:53:41 AM
IMO it's pretty rude and vacant to get friendly with a band member in order to get to the private party. People that said they'd pay are politer and prouder on comparison.
