I have posted in the past about meeting Buckethead at the Starbuck's at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas in 2001. Last night I was standing in line for the show. I was feeling a little lonely since I was by myself and the line was very long. They delayed opening the doors and I was a little bummed since I had assigned seats in the balcony. I was also feeling a little sad about missing the Buckethead show in Chicago and seeing all my friends there. I found myself standing a few feet from Starbuck's. This nice guy starts talking to me and a few minutes later AXL and BETA walk by the line! It was so cool. Then my new friend Jeff says that his friend secured VIP access and he invited me to go with him. So we go up front and WE GET IN THE FRONT ROW ON THE FLOOR! His friend's date was a super cute girl named Belinda who lives in Vegas. SHe had tipped the bouncer $500 to let us all in! I couldn't believe my good fortune! And Jeff and Greg totally protected me and Belinda from being crushed! It was an amzing show! Bumblefoot did his DON"T CRY solo right in front of me and he smiled at me as I attempted to sing!  Axl is so gorgeous!!!!! I can't wait for tonight!

I met him 5 years ago the morning after the GNR show. He was unmasked and he had recognized me from the front row because I had asked people about giving a present to AXL. HE APPROACHED ME!

I was with  my gf at the Vegas show, first time i was gonna see Guns N Roses, my mos fav band ever, I'd been waiting for that day to arrive for the last 13 years, Im 26.
Anyway, i was on line, by the casino at the Hard rock cafe hotel, and suddenly you could hear people, getting histerical, like the beatlemania!!!! LOL , people screamming, and then i saw security guys comin my way ( i was just standin , waiting for the doors to open) anyway, a lot of people there, and all of the suden I SAW Axl's hair and face, and i was like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!! i told my gf that was right behind me,  FUCK! IS AXL!!!!!!!!  anyway , Axl was wearing really dark black sunglasess, and was with like 4 or 6 bodyguards, i didnt notice too much, my attention was focused on Axl!!!  I could feel the electricity when he was comin my way, is was reaaaaaaaaaally weird!!!!,  finally when he was like 2 mts away from me, i stepped put of the line and amost in front of him, I  Yelled AXL!!!!!! and i Had my Ecuadorian flag in my left hand, and he saw me, and shook my right hand, and moved his head like a "nice to meet you" kinda thing,  he didnt say anything, of course! this happened in like 3 or 4 seconds,  but friends, he shooked my haaaaaaaand!!! I couldnt believe it , I've been on a natural high all this weekend, including today  monday, but i wanted to share this little story with you guys, and letting you know great, and surreal shaking God's hand felt.  I feel like suicide!

I'd say it was more like shaking the Devil's hand. Grin In a very nice kinda way, of course.

Good for you.  Wink
