jazzboCR Wrote:I took it easy with Sting as this Board is PG-rated ( my ***hat comment aside). I used to think that a bit about Paul Simon 'til that got knocked out of him with a spectacular public failure (that Broadway show). Macca-roon may be pretentious but that vid clip with those bluesey cats didn't look staged and them guys didn't look deferential either. Maybe large parts of him I don't know about. Gene Simmons is a pretentious joke who's parlayed that into great success--gotta appreciate that...if only on its own merits.
here's another piece of trivia from the same mate who got Stings autograph....
this time Gene Simmons at Perth Airport....
"would you mind signing this for me Gene?"
blank stare from Simmons for a few seconds...then grabs the album cover and pen and walks off...
my mate had to literally jog after him to keep up with him....
when he catches up with Simmons all he hears is Gene mockinghim sarcastically and repeating this line over and over again..."please sign this gene,please sign this gene,please sign this gene"
arrogant twat!
other muso's we've had the displeasure of coming in contact with for their total arrogance are:
Paul Weller
GLenn Frey
Don Henley
Roger Waters
Paul Stanley
Cher
Liam and Noel Gallagher
good muso's who actually appear freindly,co-operative and genuine are:
Neil Finn
Tim Finn
Alex Lloyd
Julian Lennon
Joe Cocker
Roger Daltry
Status Quo guys
Mick Jagger
i guess we win some and we lose some,
but meeting the ones who cant be bothered with fans leaves a bitter taste in your mouth especially when youre big fans of that artist...
and IMO, whether they like it or not part of their job is to sign autographs,its not a paid job, but its an unwritten part fo their job description, afterall, its the fans who put them where they are...
like ive always said....
if you dont like wearing suit and tie and standing in front of tv cameras...dont become a politician
if you dont think you can put your life on the line everyday....................dont become a cop,firefighter or any other emergency services worker
if you dont want to be asked by fans to sign and pose for photo's...........dont become a celebrity,remain a recluse
