A friend of mine met Mr Aphex on a airport a couple of years ago. When he was sure it was him he started to walk up to him. But he didn't get the chans to say hello to him. Before he could say anything Richard turned around and sed "what a fuck are you looking at." |
||||||||
|

|
|

|

this must be some strange new usage of the word 'met' i hadn't previously been aware of to paraphrse thhgttg |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
he directed that at "Word", bob |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

BWAHAHAHAHAH! COME BACK KARA,,,,,,, COME BACK.... people gave her so much shit..... hahahha hahahaha, same thing with hexagonal dope those were some funny times good times good times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
except hex was a real girl, not a troll.. she just turned herself into one when a joke she started went the wrong way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kara is hot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont understand why people gave hexagonaldope such a hard time...... I mean so what if she was joking about being signed to rephlex... big deal People took it personally for some odd reason. And Kara on the other hand was pretty trollish. But who knows for sure if she knew richard or not....... But I still thought they brought a little something to this place.... weather it was good or bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

To be honest I don't see what the big deal is whether u do or don't meet Aphex Twin. He's not that exciting he's just an ordinary bloke like everybody else. If you're in London and generally go out and about u see all these people. Its not that interesting. And they sure as hell aren't interested in u, which is fine, they're more than likely to be arrogant. I think u demean yourself going up to these people like some loser salvating over them. I mean they're just gonna think your a loser I wouldn't even embarass myself. |

I totally agree with what promo said. I think people on this message board think that rdj, squarepusher, µ-zig or whathave you... idolize them so much and forget that artists can get mad, they have problems, they have feeling too, they are not robots, they are not gods either, just people like you and me who have artistic creativity and make good tunes. If someone was looking at me all wierd I would probubly tell him off as well. If I by chance ever come across richard somewhere I would just come up and say that I really like his music, and the artists on his label. And that would be it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah! aphex twin is for life, not just for christmas! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someday i want to marry him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
after a polite hello i'd start asking him all these trainspotter questions, it's not like i give a fuck what he thinks about me, i just want some stuff answered. best way to deal with that would be for him to just tell me to fuck off. otherwise i'm going for the jugular. |
||||||||

KUNG FOO FIST TO FACE JUGULAR ATTACK! hahaha, thats a good plan titsworth I might have to borrow it if I come across the guy. :*) |

People who come up to people like Aphex in the street and start speaking to them, they'll just think you some degenerate loser and will have no respect for you. Your completely wasting you time. I just don't understand why people would want to embarrass themselves and be so naive. You only feel like shit afterwards. I like music by people like Aphex etc but as people they're not that interesting. They speak in broken English and can hardly string a decent sentence together. Besides you just totally demean yourself by going up to someone in the street and even saying hi and stuff. He'll just think 'who the fuck is this nobody why am I speaking to him/her'. Personally I'd be as sweet as pie if someone came up to me because I think it costs nothing to be pleasant. I suppose after a while it would become very tedious. Of course the flip side is you can say they're public domain figures so therefore people have a right to 'harrass them'. Bottomline is if you know the guy personally then of course you'll speak to him, if you don't then don't. |

I go up and talk to people I dont know all the time, its called being friendly. You should try it promo. Whats wrong with going to someone you dont know and having a chat? And hey you might even make a new friend that you could invite over for some tea or a beer. You just have to approach the person in a pleasant way, not like staring at him or whatever... find a common interest and go from there. Its easy as pie. Sure some people can be busy, or mean or whatever... but for the most part people are good hearted and are up for a little conversation. |
||||||||

|

I agree. I met a really nice guy in the street who was wearing a Vangelis T-shirt (yes, I am a fan hehe) and I felt a bit weird, but I just started talking to him, found out his msn adress and didn't embarass myself. Amazingly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd just say "hi" while passing by and stick up my thumb. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CS2x, Yeah er I think talking to a nobody (no offence) is a little different. Going up to someone like Aphex Twin or whatever is a different kettle of fish. Anyway do it what do I care and see what reaction you get. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know this is an AFX/IDM board. but some people here refer to RDJ/AFX as if he is a god indeed (read that somewhere in this thread I believe...) The only thing I miss here is referring to RDJ as Him (yes with a capital) Another thread about AFX being narsississstic: How would you live with fame and stuff? Getting hunted down by fans or just standing up to them when they get annoying and tell em to f**k off? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, i was refering to the point made that talking to strangers is good, as you can meet cool people. I agree Promo-Aphex would probably tell most ppl to fuck off-but it would still be tempting to ask him stuff about his music, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
regarding Word's story, rdj's reaction sounds none too surprising |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CS2x, It maybe tempting but you have let logic set in. These people have egos or maybe they don't. What I do know is its more than likely they wont appreciate you coming up to them on the street. Your not on their agenda, they don't know and to be honest they've probably had the same scenario painted out for them a million times. Again as I said before the only way to find is to do it, maybe you catch him at a really high moment. Good luck. |

I think richie would be more perceptive if you went up to him and said, "I like your record label" as apposed to "I like your music" because - his own music is something close to him and personal, and by talking about it, he is dealing with the consequences of his own actions. - the music on his label is stuff that "he likes", and he'd probably have no qualms about talking about his favourite artists |
||||||||

To assume, is to running a race before the gun fires. "I think talking to a nobody (no offence) is a little different" why does it have to be any different? Because it doesnt have to be, and it shouldnt be, we are all human, he is human, we eat, sleep, pay taxes, work.... He is by no means a superstar like J-lo or Britney Spears.... So I dont think it would be that different at all really. What it comes down to is what kind of person he is, because even some of the biggest people in the entertainment industry take the time to talk to a fans, and some are just egomaniac's and arseholes. I think its as simple as that really. |

and i met god and he told me to fuck off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you meet aphex in the streets or whatever just say - hi, nice beard ginger, oh btw i like some of your tracks. its not very likely you will meet him again so why not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think i'd stick my tongue out at him and tell him to lick my asshole |

Mickey Mouse, As I've said before in the previous posts if you come across him in the street and you want to speak to him, do it and then you can see what reaction you get. Some people can never be told. Its like the time my sister wanted to know what the hot plate in the curry house was, so my Dad said 'why don't you find out'. She got blisters and burned her fingers but she still found out. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i'd call him a cunt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha, I just dont like when people are like..... all artists and entertainers are rude to their fans. Because most are not. I mean thats where their income comes from. My dad is a photographer and took a few shots of Pierce Brosnen (james bond) last year for people magizine and said he was really friendly and down to earth. I have met some celebrities and most seem very nice also. thats what I am saying. Most people are not egomaniacs and people shouldnt be afaid to go up to people they dont know and start a little conversation... I swear, fear is just eating the world today, sad really. People are afaid of their own piss now adays. |

he'd probably respond nicely to that,. I can see it now cuntychuck: OI!! CUNT!!!! rdj: what!!? cuntychuck: I said oi! cunt! rdj: hahhaa,. you recognise me eh? cuntychuck: cunt cunt cunt! rdj: ermm,.. ok then,.. bye rdj:* goes home and makes song based off strange obsessed fans (ala come to daddy) cuntychuck:*goes down in history as being the person that inspired an aphex song, but noone on this MB beleives him |
||||||||

no but i could prolly pose like that.. |

promo.....i dunno if it's you or your cat thats so eloquent, but i have to agree. if i saw richard i'd prolly think....oh that dood looks famil.....then i'd walk on my merry way. i like his music, but i wouldn't assume he would talk to me, and i don't have anything to ask him, i believe in personal privacy even for 'celebrities.' that said, if i were at a show, and was invited backstage (it's happened before) i would prolly say hi, and let him/her know i enjoyed the show and prolly say something (hopefully witty) and then go on my merry way. when i was backstage (at another show) i just found all the groupie girls gawking to be really sad, it's like so typical that i think it must be boring to them. on the other hand, people that are polite and friendly get asked to play games, get questions answered, and invited to parties.....ehhehe i think celebs can just tell from some peoples actions how to react with some people. i would prefer a NICE person, not a FAN......know what i mean *goes on my merry way* =0) |
