DrumWhipper's thread got me thinking. How many of you have been asked for your autograph? When we released our CD, I got quite a few requests. Then after that we would get 2-3 requests at almost every gig. Usually to sign our CD or one of our shirts. At our CD release party, I had a drunk woman ask me to sign her boob (I refused btw).
As a side note...I hated every single signature I did. I actually felt bad for people that would ask me, but nonetheless, I'd still sign as did everyone else.

We played a gig that opened up a new club and they asked us to autograph a few items. That's the only time for me.
When I was in my band that did get signed and we went on tour I did a lot of signatures.
Some of the big shows when we played with main stream bands we even had booths and etc.
I mastered my signature then lol
With the bar bands it's more rare but people do ask when they buy things like CD's and etc.
I also would sell old drum heads and it was often asked for me to sign those.

I've signed a boob. And an arse cheek.
In the early years we were asked a lot. Especially after rockin' the Stone Pony. I have signed shirts, bra straps, panties, (taken off in the ladies room, signed, and put back on in the ladies room), I really thought she was kidding, coasters, the few people that actually brought (or got) a piece of paper, because as anybody knows, it's difficult to sign a napkin. Magic Markers on arms, backs, and, yes, boobs. A young lady that wanted my 1st name on 1, and my last name on the other, and still had room for "War and Peace" and the "Bible".
Ah, the good old days. If that "healthy" young lady asked me today to sign them, I would have to get down on my knees and sign them right above her orthopedic socks.
I never did get asked to sign a butt, and, somehow, don't feel like I missed out on anything. With my luck, I would have gotten a 5'2", 240lb lady in size 6 stretch pants, knowing full well that if she passed gas and was butt end towards my drums, that life, as I knew it, would cease to exist.
I've been asked a few times and I've always thought it's pretty weird, especially when an adult asks ( I'm 14 ). The worst time was when I was playing 2 sets and had a 30 minute break between them. There was an incredible Mexican restaurant near the venue and I wanted to get tacos but this one lady had like 5 kids and the entire family had bought posters. They all wanted me to sign them and answer their questions. I didn't have time for tacos.
No time for tacos??? That's black sin right there...
^there's always time for Tacos... he's young... he'll learn
Not sure what I would do if anyone ever asked me. I'd probably laugh (on the assumption they were messing with me). Thankfully, I don't anticipate ever having it happen.
That's pretty cool for 14! You should be proud!Quote:

Signed a stick a couple of times.
I was once mistaken for a certain sort-of-famous muso and played along by giving an autograph.
I really have nothing to add to this thread other than it is cracking me up! As some of you might know I'm pretty much a beginner so maybe I will ask my girlfriend to come to my first gig and pretend she doesn't knows me and ask me to sign her boob. But then I'll sign it with my phone number hahaha
Pics or it didn't happen...Just say'n!Quote:

Meanwhile, all of our wives were there, so it got interesting real quick. I never knew my wife could physically remove someone from a building until that night lolQuote:

:eh:
Was her name Caitlyn?Quote:

He's one of those young & physically fit guys that women constantly hit on at every gig....and the rest of us old & fat guys tease him about it constantly.
