If you could meet them, what would you:

Talk about?
Who would you be most eager to speak with?
Would you try to play a few impromptu tunes with Keith?

Random topic but... I'm bored and getting excited for the Columbus show, and just looking for some interesting discussion. Pass the Wine!

I would say thank you for some great music & offer to buy them a few pints

Nice... Simple and casual. I'm sure they'd enjoy that.

Nice! That sounds like it would be a damn good time.

I would say "please to meet you, hope you guess my name cause I already know yours!"

On an serious note, I have met Keith, Ronnie and Mick T. Simple stick your hand out and say something like" thank you for all the great music. You are the best". Works like a charm every time.

I've met all of them except Bill. They've all been quick experiences where I've got things signed by them or photos. I've just thanked them for the music and mentioned shows I attended that really stand out, like Rio in 2006, the Echoplex and Vredenburg. I first when Mick and Keith in 2005 when they were mixing A Bigger Bang and wore my tshirt from the Vredenburg show so they could tell I was a big fan. Mick took notice of it. In 2013 I had the chance to congratulate Ronnie and Sally on their recent marriage. Just small talk really, under the circumstances.

Id ask them if I could have tree fiddy... yeah... Ineedboutreefiddy.

h..h..h...h...hello



ROCKMAN

I'd have a roll of toilet paper handy, just in case.

I would love to thank them, but I would probably freak out

Ronnie has recently bought a house just up the road from me and he's been in my mums antique shop a couple of times to buy some stuff for his new place so I'm hopeful I might see him around town sometime just so I could say hello and thanks for the music.

I have met Jagger and Wyman both briefly on separate occasions.

I would give my right arm to spend a day with Keith.

Nate

Get a piano from out of my pockets and start playing Roll Over Beethoven.
Either that or stutter something about "thanks for all the great music."

Most would cream their pants I suspect..

Tell Michael to bring back the football pants just one more time...and tell Keith to stand up straight for the love of God

Ask them the obvious question, is this your last tour? and then fall on the floor laughing while apologizing.

But... this tour is this tour...
and the last tour was last tour, last year...
so how could this tour be last tour?
Unless this is a time machine type of question?


I was thinking about last week, this week, actually it was today, Sunday.

I'd talk to Mick about fashion, Keith about books, Ronnie about art. Charlie would be the tough one, I don't know anything about horses, so..."what are your favorite hotel rooms, Charlie?"

Yes! Forgot about that, thanks. Like this is ever going to happen...

I know I wouldnt ask Ronnie "who is that? your new girl friend?"

Solemnly unseal a bottle of Merck to ensure they are aware what I could bring to their table.

Can I please go with you when you unseal the bottle so I can smell it

Sure, I guess it comes across more professional if I bring someome to sample it

If it was a fanboy on the street meeting, politely ask them to sign my Get Yer Ya Ya's album cover and Keef sign a copy of his book.

Came close to attending a dinner party in Westport, CT that Keef and his wife were going to be at a few years ago through a good friends friend but it fell through last minute. In that case it would be rude to ask for an autograph. If it had happened most likely I would have been quiet and just soaked it all in.

It is sad to see the creepy Ebay predators stalking him and shoving albums in his face to sign for their profit. The real losers chase after the Stones with cheap Korean guitars to sell on Ebay. I would probably say thanks for the music and take care of yourselves!

It's actually pretty creepy to see anybody stalking them. Not sure I'd feel comfortable knowing people were watching me leaving my hotel, etc.

Met Keith and Patti once in Mexico and we talked fishing, whales, tequila and boat rentals...I wanted to talk guitars but it just didn't seem the opportune time to bore the hell out of Patti.

peace

Nod, to acknowledge being in the presence of greatness, and keep moving. Maybe a hello. But no attempt at a Q & A session. Try and respect their privacy.

Fantasy situation: Go out for something greasy and unhealthy and talk about music (current scene with Ronnie and Mick, past greats with Charlie and Keith)

Realistic situation: I would do exactly what Jesse1960 said. I've actually walked by Mick before and I basically did a double take and then kept on walking (and had a small breakdown about a block later). I'm much too shy to try and impose myself on them in any way.
