Mickey Mouse, Its good that you've got an idealistic view on the World. Now lets get back to reality eh. Celebs etc are nobodies anyway and yeah of course they are egomaniacs so you've had a few pleasant experiences with them big deal. Of course they can be nice and I do admire your innocent boldness. However personally I wouldn't have the time to demean myself sucking up to some actor or artist. I don't disrespect, don't dislike or like them but I know this I am not going to demean myself speaking to someone like that in the street and expose myself in a weak position because like it or not that is exactly what they would perceive you as, that is some 'silly fan'. Its fine though if you want to feel a nobody in front of those people thats ok. If you’re so keen to speak to some celeb or artist or whatever get an introduction through a mutual friend, but for goodness sake have a reason to speak to them, otherwise it'll be a painful experience. |

"I wouldn't have the time to demean myself sucking up to some actor or artist" naah you dont have to suck up, just be nice and be yourself. Speaking to people is not something everyone is good at, because if your a talented speaker you can walk up to anyone and hit it off. And hence the reason Words buddy got yelled at. |

yeah,.. if I'm ever going somewhere by train at night, and I see a dodgy looking "could be" mugger, I immediately say hi and act friendly, I've heard (and I beleive) that this reduces the risk of them trying to mug you, I also once met an avid aphex fan on a train too, he was a bit weird though,.. so I didn't ask for his contact details |

Mickey Mouse, Its not the point I'm making. People (artists and actors) have their own agendas and I just wouldn't want to belittle myself speaking to someone like that in the street for them to possible be rude. In a different social setting (like a party) it would perfectly acceptable. Of course if you have a lot of confidence you can carry off initial meetings with people very well. You have to be practised, know the right lines etc and know when to make an exit because believe or not I wouldn't want someone getting the upperhand. They may appreciate you speaking to them but equally they wont have much respect for you, if you come up to them in the street as some ‘nobody fan’. As I've said above in the right setting it would be different. Yeah if someone is rude to me 'I say stuff them'. And as I mentioned in a previous post it costs nothing to be pleasant but I wont be pleasant forever. If someone is arrogant then I'll just give them the same back. To conclude I would have no reason to speak to Aphex or anyone else. As mentioned in a previous post I would see it was such and such in the street and say to myself oh thats interesting and move on with my own business. |

I owuldn never be all lik e"omg omg it's afx can i likc your undies" or anything. I'd be all like "Hey dude! Laughable Butane bob fucking owns, man nice one!" If I was *sure* it was him. I think there shouldn't be an excuse to be all like "Fuck you fuck off" etc fi youre famous, coz the people who come up to you are yuor fans, they buy your rekkids and yr merchandise and make websites to spread your music around and shit. You're livnig offa them. Shitting on them is totally biting the hand that feeds you. I promise that if I ever got to be famous for anything, I would totally make time for people who are into my shit and always shaks hands and say a quick "thanks a lot, man, glad youre ito it" and smile and shit, coz I mean how much would it take out of your day to smile and say thanks. About three seconds max. I think we cold all spare three seconds for a fan that says somethign nice ni the street. (this is hypothetical coz we all know it aint gonna happen, i just think it's the way it should be). |

If I ever saw rdj on the street or somewhere, I'de rip my shirt off and run at him as fast as I could, screaming and waving my arms in the air... I would then proceed to tackle him and start humping his leg and licking his face profusely |

I met him in a bar in London once... he was hanging out and just chatting to people and was very friendly to me and to anyone else who struck up a conversation with him.. then again, he did look pissed at the time (I mean pissed in the british sense of the word, not the america) |

the entire band drove by me and my friend in a white van when we were sitting around waiting for our ride at a cancelled outdoors radiohead show last summer... i bet if they knew we were fans they woulda stopped. since everyone else had gone home hours ago (our ride didn't answer the phone) and we were sitting in the area where people were deconstructing the venue, they prolly figured we just worked there. |

titsworth, I'm not saying you guys aren't worthy of talking to rdj, far from it. I think people are but I just think certain scenarios like walking up to someone in the street, I wouldn't do that. If you want to speak to him fine, I just wouldn't 'cause: 1. I'm not interested. 2. He'd mostly likely wouldn't appreciate it (even though people are right he ought to be pleasant because we essentially are his paymasters). Probably in a bar isn't so bad especially if he's had a few. I've seen him a lot of times in London but I've never had the urge to speak to him. Its different if someone like him comes up to me and initiates conversation, fine I'll be pleasant etc. Anyway thats all I'm gonna say now, its to hard to explain these things on a bulletin board. |

i see what you mean but you can't live your life not trying. in addition, "stars" (b.s. term; they're musicians) need to get over themselves (goon is a pretty good example of how to be a friendly and polite popular idm artist). there's no guaruntee someone will act a certain way, so you just have to go for it. sometimes it works out just fine. and if they're assholes you can just say "you're being an asshole." if they can be so direct as to tell you to fuck off, then why not?! promo, i asked before: are you dj promo? |
