Heres our latest batch, starting off with the lovely Eva, who is a member of our Forum
Meeting Linde (guitarist of HIM) was just really random, I saw him, Mige, and Burton walking down the
road while I was in line for the show. Went up to Linde and said Hi, made small
talk, got him to sign my shirt, got a picture, and that was about it. I believe Mige
and Burton had walked off to talk to the beer-truck guy. Hah. This was on October
5th, 2005.
I actually met all of Mindless Self Indulgence on July 3rd of this year, but only the picture with Lyn-Z
came out. They all came out after the show and I hung around there for about
forty-five minutes. Got the infamous make out session with Jimmy, big huge hug from
Steve, got another hug from Kitty, and outside while I was waiting for a ride Lyn-Z
was having a smoke so I went up and talked to her. She gave me a really tight hug
because she could see that I was cold (Yeah, the reason I look so dead in that
picture was because I in the pit the entire show... nearly passed out... the
usual...) and got a picture with her.
Kill Hannah came out after their show too. That was on May 3rd of this year. They
were all really nice (and I actually met them all again at the 3rd MSI show since
they opened for them) and they signed my ticket stub and I got pictures and stickers
and stuff. Good times.
The Birthday Massacre was February 28th of this year. They all came out after the
show too. I got a setlist from the stage and all the members signed it. They were
all really nice, especially Chibi who remembered me from the front row and wrote
"Thanks Eva" on the setlist when she signed it. I've got a picture of that signed
setlist if you want it too, just let me know.
And here's a few pictures of our Forum poster JJ Brooks with Burton and Mige from HIM
And rounding things off is my Myspace buddy MJ with a picture of her with Endeverafter, one of our favorite new bands!
I went to the Cinderella/Poison show in West Palm Beach,FL on 8/20. Unfortuneatly for me, I missed the opening band, but enjoyed the show. After the show, my friend and I were hanging out backstage when we were introduced to Kristan and Mike from Endeverafter. We told them how bummed we were to have missed their set. As luck would have it, we were able to catch the show in Orlando on 8/22. We got to the show in time to see Endeverafter hit the stage. Let me just say, those guys kick ass! They put on an amazing show and have a great sound. It is so cool to see a band like that these days. They are really bringing back rock n roll. I can't wait for the CD release, and the tour to promote it! I wish them all the best!

This is the first of what I hope will be a monthly feature here. Whenever you meet a rock star and get a picture taken just send it in to Anarchy@anarchymusic.net along with a brief story about how it went and we'll post it!
Heres the first batch, with captions provided by the fans themselves.!
The first few are from my Myspace friend Nisrin. She's a pretty cool chick, which explains why she friended a super guy like me!
The picture of me and Scary Kids Scaring Kids:
I didnt have the chance to see their performance at the Warped because another
awesome band was playing at the same time, so when i found out that they were having
a signing, i knew I had to go. The guys were soo awesome, and they wanted to sign
everything u could think of. I'm glad I met them.
The picture of me and Pouyan (of Scary Kids):
This guy was ridiculous...one of the funniest guys ever. I asked for an individual
picture, thinking it would be in front of the table, but he said to come around and
he gave me the best hugs ever. Awesome guy.
The Picture of me and Elias of The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus:
One word. Incredible. This band has the best music I have ever listened to. The
signing was over, and even though the bandmates wanted to leave, Elias had no
problem sticking around to take pictures and chat.
And heres a few pics from our forum poster Dannielle
Here are the pictures of me with Gerard and Frankie MCR!
Now for the story about meeting them, I already posted the short (you don't want to
know how long the longer version is, hehe!) version on the Forum:
I travelled all the way to Cologne (it took me and my friend about 7 hours to get
there, because we missed like 4 trains ) but it was soooooo worth it! It was very
crowded in the venue, and sometimes we couldn't see a damn thing, but I was on the
loose! It was awesome! And then, afterwards, when we met them too... After standing
in the damn cold and rain for what seemed like an hour! Mikey is the sweetest thing!
His smile made it all worthwhile! Ray was still pumped, and he thanked us over and
over again for coming to the show! Gerard looked really tired, but he still kept his
manners and signed my ticket and smiled on our picture Frankie was a little more
tired, and when I asked him if we could take a picture, he was like "I guess so..."
Anyway, then, it was back to our hostel... I think we were up very late to discuss
the whole evening, because it was one of my best ever!
And to wrap things up for this month, heres a few fans with pictures of WiL from AidenAiden...starting with our beloved Forum poster Original Sin...
I met wiL back in June at the Download festival here in the UK. My mom and I went
backstage style (oh yes).
Anyhows, I had waited an hour at the signing tent in the hopes of meeting the boys
(Aiden). I had already met wiL and Angel back in January during the Kerrang! 25th
gigs and wanted to meet the other members. After an hours wait in the melting sun
though we were told that the band would not be doing their signing session
My friend (who had come to Download for the day) and I were dissapointed slightly
but there were enough fantastic bands to take our minds off it-(Plus Aiden played
later in the day and we got up front to make up for it)
It must have been about seven o'clock, maybe later, when I decided I was too hot
and needed to go inside before I fainted (I hate the sun). My friend and I decided
to meet up for Guns'N'Roses since she didn't have a backstage/VIP pass.
When I got inside the building I spotted an empty seat and headed straight over to
it. My mom (who was following behind) sat next to me and pointed over to someone
stood in front of me. wiL!!!
I grabbed my pen and a notepad and made my way over. After making a fool of myself
for five minutes I finally asked for an autograph and explained that I had been
waiting that morning to see them. He was such a sweetheart, he kept apologising and
saying the band had been stuck in traffic.
We ended up having a ten minute conversation after that. I told him I had brought
tickets to see the band in May but they had gone to America with HIM instead. He
apologised again and I said it was fine because I love HIM and would have done the
same thing. Upon hearing that I was a HIM fan he bowed down at me (really, he did)
I think I went an even brighter shade of red.
He asked if I was going to the September gigs in the UK but I said I would be
starting university then so I wasn't sure. He asked me about my uni and the courses
I was going to take and seemed really interested in what I was saying. He then said
that he hoped I could make it and gave me a hug
I got a photo taken with him (he'd only just come off stage so he was all hot and
sticky) and I've just brought tickets to go and see them in September since I
thought I should show my face (It also means that by September I will have seen
them four times this year)
And lastly, heres the wonderful Poegirl (from our Forum) and her friend with WiL from Aiden
So my Bedlam girls and I caught HIM and Adien in Vegas the last time they past through, and needless to say Adien kind of kick some serious ass which was a nice surprise, I hadn`t really heard of them before so...
After the show we left out the back doors of the venue and the gods smiled ever so breifly on us for low and behold there are the tour buses. So we camp out in front of the gate sneeking a few peeks of the bands and bs`ing with one of the most kick butt security gaurds ever...
After much bonding with the few other little soldiers that sat out with us, the buses where pulling out and we got a little luv from Burton who gave us the hornes said we rocked and much luv. (I now love Burton) An the gate was left open and we light up our smokes and where bout ready to head out when Wil (front man for Adein) started wondering round and came out to the street) Gave him a light he possed for a pic or five chitty chatted for a bit and was on his way.
Well that was nice. Go back to the hotel and wander roud looking for a bit of something to do and wait a minute isn`t that? Hey Wil fancy seeing you again, bs`d again few more pics for the girls who didn`t get them (he`s so tiny and cute I want to put him in my pocket) Say goodbye for the second time of the night and go our seprate way again.
Down in the pit of the hotel casion and wondering about, still yet again the spiky hair and devilish grin of Wil crossing our path. okay this has just ecome a little spooky, are you stalking us cuase if you are that`s totally cool! Invited him for a drink but caught him right in the midst of running round like a chicken with his head cut off tieing up some loose ends. Too bad but next time no doubt..
Such a sweet guy and kind of shy when he`s just out on his own. Gotta luv them Srinky Dink Boys. So damn cute.... *sigh*
Thanks to all who took part...keep sending in those pics and stories!!!
