Souvenirs from Concerts

Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 12:41 PM by xMissxErikax

What're some of the souvenirs you've gotten from a concert? Post what you got and if there's an interesting story behind it...or something. yeah. Picks? Drum sticks? Set lists? I suppose scars? Etc.

I went to a concert last night and got a Veer Union guitar pick, a Black Stone Cherry set list, a Theory of a Deadman pick, and Blower's (guitarist from Hinder) cup. Some chicks brought Hinder out some shots in a little cup and then he threw it in the crowd and i got it :)

    I've gotten two Rev Theroy picks stuck in my fauxhawk.

    And I got a pick from Nick of the All-American Rejects (He's the adorable guitarist I've had a crush on for the last four years...)

    AND even that isnt all....But honestly.... im VERY MUCH a concert veteran, and ive been to SO many shows.... i guess this isnt "over the limit" considering how many ive been to lol

    and im a TOTAL collector... I LOVE to collect... I always try to get the stuff myself though, so like 98% of my stuff ive gotten myself, but a few things here & there other people have helped me with. But, like I said, 98% i got myself.

    I got Jerry's guitar pcik at the March 10th anniversary show in New York. He threw it in the air and no one knew where it went. All of a sudden I look down and it's right by my foot!

    lets see the guitarist for Def Leppard, Phil, gave me a shirt after the concert was over since some bitch yanked the one i had outa my hands when they were throwing shirts out to the crowd before the concert started....

    i have 4 picks, one from Saving Abels bassist Eric Taylor, one from Shinedowns bassist Eric Bass, one from one of Salivas guitarists, and Puddle of Mudds bassist Doug Ardito personally handed one of his to me during the concert :)

    Shinedowns singer Brent gave me his setlist after the concert

    i have Saving Abels singer Jared Weeks' sweaty towel X]..somewhere in my room i hope i didnt lose that lol

    there were times where i almost caught sticks but it always hit my hand and then i always ended up between 2 guys who were going crazy over it and i was being jerked around by them lol

    and as for scars..sheez i have alooot of those from concerts lol those are another story for another day XP

    errmm...I have a bunch of stuff. I'm most proud of my Tony drumstick though...because he threw it straight to me [knowingly] and I grabbed it with both hands and held on for dear life because people are mean and try to grab things when band members are clearly throwing it to someone specific..pff. either way, I got it and it's on my wall. that's really the first drumstick I've gotten at a show..surprisingly.

    another favorite is my rainbow Jerry pick xD he didn't like that one too much. lol. uhmm...I'd have more stuff like autographs and stuff, but I'd rather have a picture WITH someone than have their autograph. I guess photos 'prove' that you've met them more than autographs to me, cuz you can always buy an autograph haha.

    I've got all kinds of picks and setlists....I mostly have stickies though..I think I'm gonna get a little photo book to put them all in..they're just stuck on my wall and a few are in my drawer right now...and I've got a bunch of laminates too.. I like to keep my tickets, but I don't keep them all in the same place so they're everywhere. I'm weird and keep old glowsticks and stuff too. but mostly I just have photos with people I've met and stuff.

    my husband has an old pair of Bret Michaels' pants. I dare someone to top that xD
    ohoh..and I know someone that has an STD from a band member..talk about taking a piece of them with you forever >.<

    ... granted, i CLEARLY have a new mattress for it LOL


    and yeah, i agree with the photo thing.

    I've never had anything signed or met anyone :(
    However, I've had plenty of nasty incidents. One of them being when my band was playing, I twizzled my mic around Jedi style and then I wacked my head real hard on it. I thought I was being cool...it taught me a lesson though:

    Don't bother trying to be cool, you always fail!

    lol you know..I'm not even sure anymore..I'm sure he told me the story of how he got them, but I don't remember it. comment my page when you see this [with a link cuz I'm lazy xD] and that'll remind me to ask him, and letcha know! they're so tiny, I could never fit in them and I'm fairly small....I think they're leather, they're red and look like snake skin [like they'd look like anything else]

    I lost my blood sugar tester that Bret signed. I have no idea where it could have gone...but I was pretty sad and had to get a new one. I don't think many diabetic people can say one of the most famous diabetics held and signed their tester. man..I'm still sad..I must have lost it at the airport going to NAMM or something ionno. :[ oh well..it's not like I'll never talk to him again..I should have him sign my new one in July..hahahha.
