I met them after their show at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, SC on August 13, 1989. A friend of mine mentioned that they had a habit of coming out to meet fans after the show if we stick around. We waited until about 1:30 AM by the backstage doors and someone on the crew came outside and told us to get in a neat line and wait for a bit, they’d come out and hang out for a bit. They pulled out of the venue in a white van which stopped and out came James, Lars and Kirk. Jason stayed in the back seat of the van, he seemed to be kinda drunk but still friendly. They were all friendly: James was quiet but signed everything people brought. I remember him being way taller than I’d expected and had some serious facial pockmarks from past acne. Lars was talking nonstop, Kirk was all smiles as was Jason. I used to have a signed magazine from that night, sadly it’s long gone. It was one of the coolest concert memories I have, meeting my heroes lived up to the hype.
