popscratch Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So I'm going to see Underoath next month on their farewell tour, and since you know they're not going be together after that I was wondering what something cool to get signed would be? I was thinking of getting them to sign the cover of the 2nd press (don't have a 1st) of They're Only Chasing Safety since that's my favorite album. But I've got a couple of other things (shirts, jackets, etc.) and just wanted some thoughts about it. What have you got signed by bands that you really like?

Guest Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 You may catch some flak from folks for getting stuff signed, but they can go butt a stump... I would say get the record signed since clothing can get washed/lost/destroyed/stolen/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I usually try and go for CD booklets. I'm always a little nervous about bringing and holding a record during a show. A CD booklet usually just fits in my coat pocket so that works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Depends on the venue. I brought my Ataris LP sleeves to a show where I knew that there was re-entry and got them signed before the show started. For Underoath I'd guess it's a bigger venue, so you could try putting them in like a plastic bag and coat checking it. I sometimes will get LP jackets signed if they sell them at a show, or screen printed posters or something like that. I'm also that dude who collects setlists, so if I can get them signed, that works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 deez nuts! I did however buy 7" for KEith Morris to sign at the Off! show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popscratch Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 The show is in Atlanta at the Masquerade. I saw that the show is in the heaven section which holds ~1100. I don't think I would take the actual record in since I'd be afraid that it would get broken, but I think I'm willing to take the chance of taking the jacket in, since I know I can still listen to it without the jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 If you're going to bring a jacket, someone in another thread posted that they bring it in a record mailer or something. Keep it safe, crowds will destroy stuff. Also, if it is a venue where you know the band goes out a certain door afterward, you can just run to your car and grab it and then go there and wait. That's how I got my Thrice stuff signed. popscratch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Buy something at the show and have them sign it? I usually like to get sweaty at shows so bringing anything from home would get destroyed. Or I plan on going to a bar after a show and don't want to carry anything with me all night. The memory of the show should be enough, not sure how the band signing something can make a show more special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevorxramage Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 This is a strange question. Get whatever you want signed. If it means something to you and would mean more to you with the bands signatures on it then who are we to tell you no? I feel like the only reason you'd ask for opinions is if you were going to try and sell whatever you get signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Who cares if the dude wants to get something signed by his favorite band?!?! No need to come up in here and get all holier-than-thou with shit like "I'm XX years old, I don't get anything signed". If getting a record or poster signed by your favorite band makes you happy and content, so be it. Go for it. jonnystorm777 and glass realms 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popscratch Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 The memory of the show should be enough, not sure how the band signing something can make a show more special. It's not that it would make the concert more special. It's just that I've enjoyed their music for a good while now, so even though some of you may not think it's a big deal to get something signed, I just think it's neat that the band is signing something they created, and now I can keep that for forever. So I guess it's something to remember the show better by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, I don't plan on letting this go. I was just asking to see if anyone had gotten someone's signature on something that I wouldn't have thought of.

If getting a record or poster signed by your favorite band makes you happy and content, so be it. Go for it. Sure if you want to get something signed, do it. But if you're going to start a 'What should I get signed' thread, expect responses from people who think an autograph is stupid. I'm going to start 'What shirt should I wear' threads. littlebistro, Zick, controlthebleeding and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have that shirt! haha But I don't think I'll wear it to the concert. I think I read somewhere (on here I believe) to never wear a band shirt to a concert by that band.
