Since they're playing small venues right now? Please say "yes."

Slim to none, unless you're on one of the guys' personal guest lists. :)

Yes. They will meet you after the show. Only you though.

Sheeat, I figured. I think there may be a shot waiting for them to walk to their tourbus though (out the back).

out back? Damn, I'd been waiting for bands out front for all these years and have been wondering why I never met anyone!

You shouldn't have posted this though...now EVERYONE is going to try and hang out back in hopes of getting to meet the band!

just fooling around friend! No offense meant!

:p ;) :D

Unlikely. At the clubs, the whole parking area for artists will be cordoned off.

Good luck with that, though. You could just like...enjoy the show and not worry about it. It's not a meet n' greet deal. If you really wanna meet 'em, you could line up at the Pico Best Buy in LA at about noon on June 5th, and that will certainly give you a chance for some handshakes, thank yous, and quick autos on the CD. :)

I'd definitely be there if I lived in California. I only did this because I was seconds away from meeting Diamond Dave after a show back in '03 at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY. He was heading into the "Discosubmarine" behind the Casino and shook hands and took pictures with the first 2 people in line. My buddy and I were 5th. After the second group of people, he waved and got on the bus. So close! Met Warren DiMartini here in Pittsburgh at Metropol after the show. These guys are pretty high profile so I'm sure it's highly unlikely like you're all saying, oh well.

All of the band members signed and / or posed with fans before and/ or after the show in SF last night, so the answer would be- yes!

Mike was great as usual- that guy is ALWAYS nice- he spent a minute talking to my friend and I like we were his friends- talking about the SF Bay Area's great weather, the show, the NAMM pic I had which got a laugh out of him, etc.... seriously- Mike is the best! My friend had never met him before and was saying how nice he was too talking to us and all... Dugie kicked down some picks too- thanks!! He is always great to the fans also...!! (don't let his gruff exterior fool you!)...

the show was packed- with a lot of who appeared to be Sammy/Joe's family/ friends- as a ton of people had passes of some sort and did not necessarily look like a standard rock crowd (professionals/ families etc)

Very cool. I've seen pics of you before with VH too, haven't I. You either must have some kind of 'in' with Azoff or you're a seriously dedicated fan. Did you get a guitar pick with the package too?

no "ins"- just a fan... and the picks I asked Dugie for and he gave them...

Sweet. Kevin's a solid dude.

Were they selling merchandize at a tee booth? How was the exclusive tee for the package? Are the sigs on the VIP package poster real or lithographed? And most importantly, how's that kickin' Chickenfoot 8 ball? :)

the shirt that came with the package is so-so- depends on your taste... I will give mine away personally but to each their own...my friend felt his was torn- but I think that was the "distressed" look haha... the 8-ball doesn't clearly give you an answer either haha... I let it in my kids' toy pile... the signatures on the posters are real- they had a stack of them- all pre-signed....Sammy's assistant brought them out and another guy passed them out after as they cut off the wristbands one by one that they had you wear as part of the package-

they had some merch- a different poster, some t-shirts, a floppy type hat... nothing signed...

Heck, I think that shirt's awesome. That was exclusive to VIPs only? They didn't have that shirt at the regular merch stand? Did they have any white tees at the stand, or all black?

I think I met you at a Tahoe show a few years ago. Are you the guy with the U2 San Jose video in the limo?
