Dashhax Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 A few years ago Brand New played at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence. There was a kid there who brought his First Pressing copy of Your Favorite Weapon on White /100 to the show with him record and all. He was in the pit most of the night with it. I was behind him waiting in line and Vin actually gave him a gold copy of TDAG for free because of how hardcore he was. I usually just buy merch there and get it signed. Last thing I got signed was when I went to see transit and bought a few LPS they signed the covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Do you get alot of stuff signed when you see bands? I always though this was kind of lame but whatever floats your boat I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I typically ask musicians to sign my penis. I have a nice collections cock-tographs going. Any idea how I can ebay these though, because I want to make oodles of cash. I've never gotten an autograph of a musician, not that I look down upon those who do. Seems like there was a thread about this a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The original setlist from the show is definitely the coolest thing but there is always competition for it. I'd say a print is cooler than a jacket. It's more proof of "I was at this specific show and talked to these guys" vs. a jacket that could have been signed anytime, anywhere.

That's a good point, didn't think of that either. And thanks to all the comments in general, it's cool to see why/why not you all you think you should/shouldn't get stuff signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodybrokeurheart Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 i like getting shit signed sometimes. i'm usually more about chattin people up and then getting a pic with them. thats the best way to remember the night in my opinion.

adammuzzy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 i've never been one to have shit signed at least by small bands like this. to me it kinda ruins it to have some scribbles in black sharpie on it. but if that will make you happy then by all means, have at it.

almightyseancore Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 sometimes records, sometimes posters. i usually try to get a poster of the show from the venue before i leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Back before many of you were born, I got the Damned to sign my leather jacket and an album cover. The jacket is gone, but I still have the album and couldn't be more stoked to have it. The autograph is just a reminder of personal contact you had with a band you dig. Sure as hell wish I made an effort to get Lux Interior or Joey Ramone to sign something for me. Just the effort to try and get the autograph is a memory you wouldn't have had if you were trying to be too cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Bring your pet, have them sign your pet. They will enjoy it, your pet will enjoy it. Spectators will applaud your determination, members of the opposite sex will be overpowered by your obvious sensitivity whilst presenting members of said rock band with puppy, kitten, or gerbil. I would not recommend having a fish signed, I also would not recommend having a fish as a pet. That would make you weird. Don't be weird. popscratch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickcook19941 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I waited in line forever at lolla to have deadmau5 sign my copy of 4x4=12 in 2011 and it was worth it. That LP is one of my favorites now because it's such a relic of that show. I had to wait so long to get it signed and I remember it very vividly and in addition there is a little on the edges, but that I think is cool because I was literally in the pouring rain and in the middle of the pit, and it made it out alive, not torn or creased.

cymbalism15 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I know some people don't like signed records but I get them signed on the covers. Bring it in a mailer.It's a nice memory for me and whenever I pull that album out I remember the concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
