Met VR yesterday :-)

[donaltduck313]

I met Slash, Duff, Matt and Dave yesterday, twice even:
1st time at teh airport when they arrived to Finland (they had gig in Provissirock festival last nite) and 2nd time just before their plane took off...

Duff was extremely nice, gave me 7 autographs!!! Also Slash gave me two, Matt two and Dave one but
when asked Scott for one, he just said "you would just sell it on ebay..." fuckin sweet gotta admit...mr niceguy indeed... been GNR fan 17 years so I really didnt travel f**kin 700 kilometres to get something "to sell on ebay"... but anyways gig was amazing too got over 100 photos :-) and on the airport also got photos with Slash, Duff and Matt. Gonna put photos here later (have holidays 2 weeks so will do it after that...)

Awesome you met them. But geez- 7? How much did you take to sign? Good to hear Duff was cool about it though.
While it does sound shitty of Scott, as someone already posted, after seeing you get multiple autographs he may have thought you were just an eBay seller and didn't want to waste his time for your profit.

scott sounds like an asshole

do you know scott???no you dont!
i had the pleasure of hangingwith scott twice last week and he was really nice and its people like you that dont know him or have never met him that make stupid comments like that.
if i saw somebody that wanted like 7 autogrpahs id be jubious to sign them!

[Butch Français]

awesome for you man. I do understand Scott suspision and not wanting to sign his autograph after getting so many from the others though.

[Ines_rocks!]

who cares about scott  slash and duff sure had much more reasons to behave like that... at least they?re trully rock starts... yet they?re just down to heart and the nicest guys to fans and that?s what matters in the end of the day 

[donaltduck313]

hm sorry but I didnt ask Duff to give all those autographs he did ask if I have anything else to sign n I he did sign everything I had with me (including VR tourbook, GNR tourbook, Duffs fanclub card, Neurotic Outsiders single, his solosingle Believe in me...). So wanna underline that didnt ask then to give more than one autograph.

Matt did sign twice use your illusion cd, Slash did once and then Duff did ask Slash to sign VR new ep. Can u imagine they didnt know what it was... this Melody and the tyranny ep...they were asking "what ta fuck is this?" and then I told its yours new ep :-) Duff was holding it in his hands n Slash was next to him and then Duff asked Slash to put his autograph in it...

So I am not telling anything but they were really really nice to me all expect Scott. Hes comment just did really hurt me. I understand if he didnt wanna sign this ep but what he said I would just ask this autographs and then sell em in ebay that was and is bullshit isnt it?

Yes it is... but forget about Scott and his stupid behaviour and focus on Duff and Slash who were just kind to you by giving you their autographs without moaning lol... at least that?s what I would do... I would be so fucking happy to have met those guys and have something from them... and then again... who cares about Scott.

Man, Duff seems like such a champion! Awesome to hear! Really cool he offered to sign more (and got Slash too!).
Interesting they didn't know what Melody and the Tyranny was... 
And yeah, I would be pretty upset/pissed if Scott said that to me. But as with all celebrities, even they have rough days sometimes. But it would suck to catch them on one of these days none the less. But in my oppinion it's still no reason to treat fans like shit-the fans make the band, they should be appreciative. Ah well, pretty awesome getting Slash, Duff and Matt (and Dave) anyway! Congrats.

[D]

I say it probably hurts Scott ego a bit when people are all over the GNR guys with "GNR" stuff to sign. U know the guy probably feels a bit insecure anyway.


I am sitting here thinking though, how much would a Scott Weiland autograph go on Ebay? I like Scott and all but I'm sure it wouldn't start a massive bidding war.

[lynn1961]

Well, anyway, congratulations!  That's cool! 

I found it very amusing that they didn't know what the EP even was.   

[Smoking Guns]

I would say a scott Autograph on the ep would add $15 to list price.  Since it sold for $5 in Australia, it may make the value $20?

[gnr2k6]

cool story about the EP and duff and slash but remember its more than just them in the band......Scott is a truly nice guy tho believe me.

[MarioGunner]

As someone said before it's cool enough that you got Slash and Duff to sing auto graphs, wouldn't really care too much about Scott, but still I wouldn't get pissed off at him, he wasn't that rude, he just thought of an excuse, maybe he wasn't in the mood, it's not easy to be them sometimes you know???

Could this actually be a reason for a VR break up? I mean, in time,? Scott feeling misvalued or underappreciated??

Now, I know, you gotta go to Duff first, he's a cool guy and he can get Slash to sign, Duff rocks!!! Having both their signature is more than enough!!!!? ?

[Wando]

;o ;o ;o You lucky son of a .. I was at gig too, fuckin' killer. You met them at Helsinki-Vantaa? Was there anyone else?

[mrlee]

scott sounds like an asshole

do you know scott???no you dont!

if i saw somebody that wanted like 7 autogrpahs id be jubious to sign them!

treating a fan like that, when all the other band members sign it is lame, he has no idea if they would sell it all not, and for the percentage that the fan might be genuine he should have signed it, id be pretty pissed if a person whos band i contribute with fans in payments supporting didnt sign something and gave me some asshole excuse

[chineseblues]

Scott is a truly nice guy tho believe me.

What are you his mother?  "Oh even though he acted like an asshole to you he is still truly a nice guy he really is!"
