Famous

Is/was anyone of you a famous musican, no metter if you´re a local celeb our an international.

I once played in front of a crowd of 800+ on a beach in Portugal...I was famous for like 2 hours...

Uhh, u could say I'm famous around my town, everyone knows me and comes by to join in or just watch me and the badn play on the front yard.

FAMOUS?? HAHA. I do have quite a reputation as a musician in my local area, scene whatever you want to call it. Whether good or bad, I could not say. :) I have had my share of experience with big gigs though, I've played in front an est. 8000 people before at an all day festival, and a couple others where a nice crowd has been. I have had people come up to me in public places knowing me from seeing me play (I don't like this, and I don't blame some famous people for not.), and had girls ask me to sign their "you finish". Even got to color in there "you finish" :D Hardly famous though, but I don't want to be either.

Am I allowed to put that stuff here? Sorry if I'm not!

I was in Guitar Player Magazine (Feb 2001, Lenny Kravits on cover) Thats been my brush w/stardom to date. Didn't score me any chics though.

Chris, Way Kool Man!!! How did you get that??

I was reading an article in the magazine one day and thought to myself "I could write something better then this", so I wrote something and submitted it to them and they published it. There's also an mp3 of the article on Angelfire(?) which I was supposed to get royalties for, but have yet to see a dime. Unfortunately I don't think they publish unsolicitied material anymore, they have staff writers do everything now.

I got that reputation too Ponyone but in my case it has more to do with .... electrical shocks, busted brakers, fried amps and ...euh ... let me think ... what did they called that again .... euh ... oh yes I remember ... second degree burns.

Quite a reputation indeed.

Two really hot girls came up to me in a bar a month ago and
asked if me if I'm the Marcus who plays the guitar. (Which I am)
I have no idea how they knew that (and I dont care!)
Maybe Im not a superstar, but hey, who needs to be a superstar
when women are following your every step?

I guess I was "known" in the Belgian metal underground scene while I played in my previous band.

Now my next goal is a star in the sidewalk in Hollyweird. :)

it is my dream to have the best rock n roll band and perform in giant stadiums although i'm still young for that(16)
i think if i find the right people and if they want it as bad as i do we can do it

soon i'll be playing with my band in front of my whole high school in a rally

my fried who worked in a local pirate radio station til it was shut down by the police got me some airtime once. few months later some guys heard me and asked me if i was the one on the radio when i said yes some told me i was good some told me i sucked. anyways none of them were girls and i didn't see a dime. just like "money for nothing and chicks for free" but without the "money" and the "chicks" parts :D

nothing for free :D

Nowadays you can buy a star on the walk of fame.

I live 4 minutes from it, trust me, it really is not anything worth seeing.

I know dude, I was just kidding. ;)
I think they run for 5 grand now or something? lol

I've only been on the walk of fame a few times, you're right, it's pretty damn lame. Guess the tourists still get a kick out of it though.

there is a pseudo-walk-of-fame here in vienna too - with footprints of local heros - mostly from sports. pretty hillarious if you ask me. the only difference is that our peeps dont just puke or crap on the streets.. they have homes to do so :D
