The only one I can even think of is Thomas Rhett. He wasn't really famous though at the time

This guy is going to take Casper Babypants spot some day.dnc said: -
Alanis Morrissette. 1995 she was playing at the Ash St Saloon in Portland before You Oughta Know made her famous. I was my usual shitfaced self, but I do recall she was nice to me and my friends. Very short but unbelievable pipes on her
Also shared a beer with Art Alexakis of Everclear at Sassy's strip club in Portland about 10 years ago. Low key dude...wouldn't join me and my buddy at the meat rack -

I also met @RaceBannon once who allegedly played keyboards in the 80's in a band.

Fifteen years ago he played the Emerald Queen. We both ended up at a private party the night before the show. Maybe 10 people were there. The Cold night air brought on a good asthmatic cough. Burdon, standing nearby asked, "Asthma?"
"Yep"
He had Asthma too. Turned me on to a new breathing drug. Mine only flares up occasionally. So does his. "Its a bitch when your scuba diving," he told me. The Hangers on got tired of our medical shop talk and moved on, leaving the two of us alone in the kitchen.
"We lost them pretty quick," I quipped. My glass was empty and I started towards the bar at the breakfast nook for another drink. Burdon, no shit, asked if he could join me. 2 Crowns with a splash of coke (Coca Cola).
I told him I was a big Jim Morrison fan.
'Fucking asshole." Burdon sneered. "I kicked that motherfucker out of a house in Beverly Hills," he added.
Seems the Lizard King was so drunk Burdon had to pull out a revolver and squeeze off a couple of rounds when Morrison decided to swing off a chandelier.
"Huh"
"You knew Hendrix?" I asked. BFF's, according to Burdon. He teared up telling me how Hendrix's girlfriend called him that early morning in 1970. Jimmy was unresponsive and barley breathing. "Call a fucking ambulance!" Burdon recalled yelling at the gacked up woman. She refused because there were drugs all through the flat. By the time Burdon got to the flat, Jimmy was dead.
We bullshitted for 15-20 minutes. Cool and true story, I know.

I was working at the Fresh Air tavern (you be old if you remember that place) and Billy Preston stopped by to talk with Albert King who was playing - BSed as I poured a beer for him.

That is a way cool story bro. Not everyday that you get to spill the wine with an Animal.Baseman said:

He's basically the 5th Beatle...LebamDawg said:I was working at the Fresh Air tavern (you be old if you remember that place) and Billy Preston stopped by to talk with Albert King who was playing - BSed as I poured a beer for him.

The Throbber used to beat off furiously to Belinda Carlisle and Olivia Newton John back in the 80's.
Other than that, no intimate upclose personal interaction with musicians.

I remember him with CSNY Deja Vu - but I could be wrong all over againYellowSnow said:

I’ve worked on a few music videos. Mostly with rappers. Chris Brown, Tyga.
I know the guitarist from the Used pretty well. They aren’t really famous though. -
I did also meet Minnie Driver once at a Sundance Film Festival house party. She technically has recorded three albums as a musical artist.

Grohl.
J/k, but the wifey knows him from back in the day. Every time we go to some event where Grohl “might” be there, he isn’t. This included the funeral when Grohl’s best friend from high school’s wife (also went to HS with them) died tragically. -
Early 00s I'm in Reno for a friend's wedding. Sat night we're fucked up after the reception playing roulette at some shithole casino. My buddy elbows me and says hey u know that guy? Isn't he a famous singer? I shift my blurred gaze across the table and it's Mr. No Talent Assclown himself, Michael Bolton. Gotta give him props as he was friendly and didn't try to be Mr. Big Time. He sat at our table for about an hour drinking white wine. We were all having a good time until my friend spills his Gin & Tonic all over Bolton's chips. He was cool about it, but the pit boss told us to LEAVE. I apologized to Bolton and then told the pit boss to go fuck himself

The guitarist is a cool guy. He owns a bar now and isn't playing Warped Tour playing their 2-3 hits. They have a new guitarist now.Pitchfork51 said:RoadDawg55 said:I’ve worked on a few music videos. Mostly with rappers. Chris Brown, Tyga.

Dave Grohl

Hung out with Ian Astbury at the Number 5 Orange in Vancouver about 6 months or so after Guns and Roses opened up for The Cult and then proceeded to blow by them. He got annoyed when my buddy kept asking him if he thought Axl Rose was the best front man in the biz currently.

I know a Hawaiian dude who played drums for Don Ho back in the 70s & 80s. Same dude is in a scene of the movie The Decendents with George Clooney.

Burdon made a lot of cool off track shit. Only recently have I heard a lot of it. Definitely a soulful white man.Baseman said:
