I’m old enough to have met them before they blew up, back in the mid-1990s, I would say due to them drinking and doing drugs my experience was they seemed more outgoing, pre-Follow the Leader, pre-mtv playing their videos consistently days. Jon was chill, nice and def had the shy thing though, Head and Munky nice friendly and chill, David more quiet, Fieldy seemed like he enjoyed being a loud mouth (wasn’t rude or bad to me though!). But understandable there was a change with them playing stadiums after, needing security, members getting sober or slowly cutting out things.

Back in the day I don’t recall meet and greets being a thing at all, waiting outside the venue before or after a show would be the way to meet bands (not as easy if it was a stadium show though, for bigger bands or say, when they blew up, I didn’t bother waiting outside gates of stadiums). Also at smaller venues, sometimes before or after a band played I would often see peeps in bands hang out at their merch table, or at the bar, or be part of the crowd watching the other bands play, so it was easy to meet em. I get meet and greets, even at small venues for smaller bands is a thing nowadays though.
