.....in NH last night.
First of all....the shit doesn't even deserve to be called a Meet & Greet....it was more like "We took your picture now fuck off"....we had ZERO time to talk to the band and the whole shit was rushed...definitely a major let down....not to mention the ground ctrl people have their heads up their fucking asses....talk about a day late and a dollar short!! I wouldn't use those fucks to organize my sock drawer!!
Hahaha sucker.
Hhahahahaaaa
Sorry man :/
deal wit it.
Maybe they heard rumors about annoying fans wishing for linus stuff and sped up the process

yeah...i don't give a fuck about all that really...I was mostly just looking forward to talking music with them for a little while...I'm sure it must be monotonous for them to do that shit at every venue, but damn!

very true, these VIP reunions are boring for the bands, remember that you are paying for be with them...in other words, they are forced with you

you will NEVER talk about music with them in a vip...maybe you can get an autograph and a super fast photo and a kick in the ass :/
This could be considered a good thing, at least that wiccan wont get to rot their brains with her bullshit for long when/if she meets them.
yeah it went by fast, but got I to drink with abe , frank and chino at a bar after the show in montreal , awesome time !

right.. what about that thread you made about you actually giving a fuck about it?
wait now i remember.. it was this thread!
I'm planning on printing a couple of my crappy pictures and getting them signed! Also hoping to get answers to a couple of questions, and hoping that security at The Joint won't be dicks.
how was your meet & greet? seeing them on the 20th in jacksonville...do they let you take pictures other than the professional one you get?
I am not sure "Death", the thing is during the first leg of the 2010 tour for Diamond Eyes I did the Diamond VIP thing. It was way different than what I am hearing is happening now.
I got to take my own photos with the each member of the band, signed tour poster, they would sign just about anything people brought with them (Got my first guitar signed by all the guys), they took a group photo with all of the VIP ticket holders. On top of that it was wide open with the guys chatting one on one with whoever approached them. I spoke with Steph and Abe for at least 5 or 10 minutes.
Now it sounds as if they are much more regimented and it seems like an assembly line. I hope this is not true. Feel pretty lucky I got this experience before it became more sterile (as I have seen now).
Good luck Bro, hopefully you can get more feedback....
Oh and to all you nay sayers, my experience was awesome and the guys were great and "into" hanging with the fans and did not bail until they had to. Well worth it.
I went to VIP 9/12/10 and then 5/13/11. Yep, on the previous tour you could talk to any of the guys for as long as you wanted. Most of the fans were cool, but there were some "clingy" ones and I'm sure that must have played a part in the changes for VIP this year. Still, in my experience it's worth it! No, you can't bring anything to get signed and you can't take any of your own pictures--no cameras for sound check or group photo time. I like the professional pix they took this time! They took 2 pics of everyone and chose the best to upload to deftonestix.com . The only time you have to chat with the guys is the short few minutes you get your pic taken with them, but they do each take the time shake everyone's hand. It was totally worth it for me, just different. NY (5/13/11) was a lot nicer than Allentown (9/12/10) anyhow. I still think it's worth it and I'd do it again. Plus, I think it's nice for the guys that it's more organized now so they can avoid any long-lasting moments with awkward fans. ;)
Thanks Charissa, once again you prove your awesomeness (is that a word?)
I will see the boys again in NC next week. Will not do the VIP thing again this time, after last year's experience I just don't think anything could top that. Glad I git my Axe signed last year cause it looks like that would not happen this time.
Glad to hear it went well for ya!!
We saw them on 9/28/10 in Atlanta with Alice In Chains and Mastodon. We didn't have the VIP tickets then, but had front row..it was amazing. I was hoping to get a lot of pictures at the Meet and Greet :-[ oh well. Maybe I'll be lucky at a future concert and get to do that. Thanks for your review guys! Deftones have been my favorite band for 14 years now and this is my first opportunity to actually meet them so I'm sure regardless of how short the time is it will be well worth it!
Bull. I went to the meet and greet for AiC when they played at THE SAME VENUE with Deftones and Mastodon. We were able to get 2 things signed by the guys. Thanks for the heads up. I'll let you all know how it goes.
anyone else get an autographed set list in the mail?

I think out of all of them Steph is the fucking coolest. Every picture he's always wearing this ridiculous shit eating grin and he's chill as all hell.
Damn dude that sucks. I went through a similar VIP thing a few years ago when they were on Family Values ( I know, I know), however my experience was a lot closer to what 976-Evil said. Even though it was a planned thing with a few more guidelines, the guys were really just cool, letting everyone take pics and doing their best to really give each person some individual time. Unfortunately I didn't speak to them as long as I would have liked too, but that was more because of my own self consciousness. It was the first time I saw them, and I was very young and starstruck haha
