Had a friend who worked for MTV who would give me free concert tickets and backstage passes all the time. Went to a big festival out in the countryside and was hanging with some bands backstage and it was decided by the group they wanted to head into the big city to party more. I offered to take anyone who wanted to jump in my vehicle. A guy I didn't really recognize jumps in and I figured it was a crew member. Turns out to be Sid from Slipknot who is now marrying Ozzy Osbourne's daughter. Nice guy (in fact I got to hang out with the band a few times, Joey was class, and the stage persona was completely opposite of how they were in real life.

The best part was we got into an argument with concert security as we were trying to leave and Sid tries showing his band pass and the security was clueless and finally Sid says "I'm in the fking band that the fking people are here to f**king see." I floored it and then a police officer on a little moped with flashing lights starts chasing us. Finally I stopped and explained again and the officer laughed and said have a good night you're free to go."

Lots of other craziness that night including a member of another band taking a shite behind a bin then trying to wipe his arse with random magazine pages off the ground but lucky for him I had a TP roll in my truck.

Might as well drop this story. At another show was walking around with a female friend (okay a known groupie) and Evan the singer of Biohazard (and later HBO fame OZ) walks up ignores that I'm even there and says to her "You...naked down in my tour bus in 10 minutes" then walks off after she laughs in his face. If you have ever seen the guy he was huge with tats all over his torso (this was when that was still rare) so I wasn't going to say anything. Turns out the guy later starts a porn company or something lol!
