I got to meet Everything, Collective Soul, Buju Banton, Chevelle, Coal Chamber, and Full Devil Jacket...and got autographs from all of them.
I have also seen Incubus, Rusted Root, The Cranberries, Type O Negative, 10 Years, Sevendust, B.B. King, and The Barenaked Ladies...no personal autographs, but a lot of guitar pics, drumsticks, towels, water bottles, setlists, and t-shirts got thrown at me. and if you've ever seen the Barenaked Ladies, you know that I got a lot of Mac and Cheese thrown at me, too.
My mom has seen Journey and Poison, and besides autographs, she got hugs from Steve Perry and Bret Michaels!
The things I value most that I have are Morgan Rose (the drummer from Sevendust)'s beaten up drumstick, and Rayna Foss-Rose (the ORIGINAL bassist of Coal Chamber)'s bass pick. They're sentimental as they've been my favorite star couple for years, and Rayna is super-nice in person!
So, what about you? What's the one thing you value most that you've gotten from a show?

I just want to clarify that I am not a rich brat whose daddy is a roadie or anything like that. I'm just a regular girl who grew up in a trailer park and now makes only 400 bucks a month...honestly. It had nothing to do with money for me, it was just a matter of luck, and a moderate level of worship for the bands I love, as I am incredibly ecclectic.
I'm also not on here to brag. I seriously thought there'd be a load of you guys putting my list to shame! I'm sorry if I offended anyone or made you feel bad in any way. I didn't want this to be a competition, it was just a curiousity I've had for many years about what other people have.

Ha what a cool question. I work in the concert biz (security) so i've seen A LOT of shows over the past 5 years. I've gotten a chance to meet some rockstars. I have to say even though Lars Ulrich is a prick on the some kind of monster movie, he is a nice guy if you have a chance to talk to him.
I've gotten a lot of cool swag over the years but I think my most favorite thing is a Carlos Santana guitar pick that his tour manager gave to me the first year I was doing security.
The Eagles security managers know me by name and give me a hug every time they are in town.
I have pass sheets, guitar picks, backstage passes, drum sticks, posters.. just a bunch of stuff.

This was many years ago (about 11 years), but it was still awesome. We saw Green Day in Denver, during their Dookie tour, but before they were huge. We were just hanging out behind the smallish venue, smoking cigs and Tre and Billie Joe just happened to come out of a door we were standing next to. They were very nice to us 17 - 18 year old punks and they gave us all autographs and actually invited us to hang out with them for a while. As a drummer myself, I got all the Tre signed stuff - drumsticks and a signed used drum head.

i have only met people like you who have been graced by luck and fortune to have so much from a bunch of famous people who are just like everyone else except they have deeper pockets. i just never have gotten excited about well known people. A few years ago at the mall in El Paso my wife and I ran into Gallager at the mall. I spoke to him for a couple of minutes but his mind was somewhere else.. I think he was concerned he could not find his driver I know he needed to get downtown for his show that evening so I offered to help any way I could.. I am just raised that way I want to help. But he just blew us off like we were psycho or something. From that point on I do not feel like they are above anyone else.

I met the main singer for NeverSet. Right after I passed out at the Sevendust concert... God that sucked. Anyways, thats my close call with a singer.

I haven't seen him in concert, but my friend is very good friends with Flavor Flav, so I got to hang out with him. We smoked, of course and watched some of Public Enemy's old videos on YouTube and drank some beers. He is chill, and a very nice person.

Yes, I got to meet Mickey Heart drummer for the Greatful Dead, and chatted with him for a long time. He is a great guy and I got to see his recording studio and his drum collection. That was a great day.

Well, I got a daughter outta Phish tour 99. She's my love child! lol........when I was pregnant with her, I wrote to the bands newsletter to ask for a sticker for her baby book......to my delighted surprise, they sent me a congratulations postcard signed by all four members of the band. I have it framed & LOVE it!
I've seen too many shows to count.......and been backstage to 10 or more shows, but I don't like being a starfucker. When I meet a musician, I definately don't ask for their autograph. If I'm lucky enough to get to meet them, I'm not gonna screw it up by begging for some ebay-scribble. But props to you, if you feel comfortable doing that!
Peace
