I'ts been a rollercoaster of a month so far, And that's thanks to my good omen which is David Coverdale , When ever I get him that year I seem to do well on Music I wil never forget Madonna 3 times in 6 months , Toronto , London Film Festival then London premiere again 23 signed Madonna's , It was madness thank god the videos all over youtube show th action as people would think I was dreaming, Well that and the dozen other professionals that were there too lol.
I know it might sound easy but its not , It is all careful planning and years of failed attempts to learn from. With Madonna its simple never try while on Tour !!
Anyway after Whitesnake , I manage to get Rod Stewart then Snakecharmer and last 3 days I have been hunting THE WHO.
I have previously managed to get Pete on a number of different situations but roger , He is crafty and not because he is smart but because grey head Basterd his manager is puppeteering like a 4 year old school girl do this don't do that jump seat etc.
So if grey head decides not to sign then don't matter what you do its game over.
In this game any pro will tell you , You need LUCK , Loads of time to waste as this is what we do our lives click away on the clock and our legs get wicker and at some point are gonna fall off as this waiting game is slow death !!
Pete drives back and forward no matter how far the venue is from his home 400 miles or 1000 he will drive in his Maybach so you need to do a lot of planning you need to find a road with traffic lights that take 2 minutes and need to time it to make sure traffic blocks it etc, But you only get 1 hit a tour once its been done its game over it don't happen again .
So we decided early last week the place for Pete will be sheffield its a weird place weird roads etc and we heat it right on the nail , Pete got stuck and we go lucky as he put the window down and signed for all the group, Now remember I said 1 time only !! I will come back to this !!
We never found Roger in Sheffield so I guess 1 out of 2 will have to do for this city.
Now on the 22nd some time late Roger arrived In Manchester and checked into fortress hotel (Nickname) We found out he will go and have a meal at a famous restaurant owned by the football player Rio Ferdinand (Rosso's), So we tried there but we had no luck with him.
The next day we went and stood in the freezing cold and heavy rain from 8 am onwards hopping he might go out surely he wont stay all day in that hotel ? , Yes he did he came out at 5 pm to go to do his soundcheck, We got lucky because grey head had forgotten something so he was 1 minute behind him , When roger came out he walked over too us and said 1 each and he is strict with that and started to sign, Then after maybe 15 or so grey head comes out and goes mental at him takes the marker and slings it towards the sky and off they went. We could see there is some serious shouting in that grey Range Rover so we knew it was game over but no matter how you feel you have to keep at it because sometimes lady luck might jump at you.
I went home and I called every friend that owed me a favour and every girl especially I filled the car up and I said this is it , Now you have to come through for me , Once in a while friends have to step up and help lol and for me this was the time.
Pete came first out as usually at approx. 23.05 and even though was in traffic this time he had black range rovers with guards in them so no one could approach as they would be out and on you like a dog on heat..
So like I said its a 1 time thing with pete you need to plan it and chance it at the right time before they put the dogs on the tale !!
We then waited and Roger tells the guards line every one up and escort them out the gates after I sign for them, So around 50 or 60 people went in the back of the venue while roger signed and done photos with while seat in his RR , I was happy and especially after I was collecting my favours from my family and friends.
I have tried roger countess times in the last decade this was the one time ever that I got him, We all jumped in the cars and drove to the hotel , But when we got there a few minutes later car arrives and grey head pulled him like a little child from his hand into the hotel.
I was told he was straight at the bar so decided for one last attempt before I go to bed , I go in walk up and see him and I say mr Daltrey to be honest at the leter M grey head was up and looked like he wanted to dance with me , I decided he is too ugly for me so I wised Roger goodnight and walked off.
The following morning (Today) I went from 8 am in the cold once more and waited at approx 11-15 roger came out and grey head said to him get in the car now and so he did with no questions asked.
I spend 3 days on them now and 1 more earlier last week but am very pleased with what I manage to get as might not get daltrey ever again , even though I will try next week again.
Now gonna have my lunch and gonna hunt down Brian May !!

Your stories are great fun to reed. Keep up your good work!

Congrats on getting them. Sounds like Roger enjoys signing. Why do you think grey hair doesn't want him to sign? Maybe Grey Hair has a signing event planned and wants autograph seekers to pay big bucks for a signature or something...lol.
You have great stories!
Wow funny you should say that , He is known to us for collecting autographs and used to trade roger autographs for his own stock etc, I know this shop in Covent Garden that he was a regular in getting Golf autographs if I can remember well.
In regards Roger Enjoying not I don't think so he is not that nice I think Grey Head and him together are a dangerous Chemical.
The last 48 Hrs I have been Chasing ZZ TOP and BRIAN MAY of QUEEN so many Fun stories to follow soon watch this space..
Just got two signed solo LPs back from Sheffield, signed by Roger and Pete. Hope they are real:
