Apologies if this topic has been raised before (I'm new) but I am really interested to find out whether any of you have ever been lucky enough to meet the musicians you admire most, and if you have what was your experience like?
They say never meet your idols and I have often spent a lot of time wondering what I would say to mine if I was to actually meet any of them.
I have met famous people in the music business before and I don't normally get star struck, but I was recently lucky enough to meet one of my own idols Noel Gallagher. I understand he's not very big in America, but being such a big Oasis fan and counting them as one of my favourite bands of all time, this was quite a big deal for me.
I had often rehearsed in my head the exact words I would say to this man (who in my eyes is a genius). However when it happened and the person who wrote "Definitely Maybe" and so many of my favourite songs was stood there right in front of me, it was a struggle to even act like a normal human being. I managed to ask him for an autograph/photo but I barely said a word to him and it definitely wasn't the experience I had always hoped it would be.
Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else?
If not who would you most like to meet and what would you say to them?
Unfortunately most of my favourite musicians died before I was even born. Maybe some of the more 'mature' members on here might have been luckily enough to meet one of these guys . To be honest I don't think I would even want to meet them as (from what I've read) they weren't the nicest of people. Meeting these legends would have probably changed the way I feel about their music.
Apart from Noel, the only other person I would really love to meet (who is still alive) would be Slash. But then I would probably ruin that opportunity just like I did with Noel!
I'd be really interested to hear your own stories or thoughts. Thanks for reading. xxx
