Vader - setlist from the Brutal Assault festival last year. When I was in the backstage with Venom Inc. (13.10.2015.) Piotr walked into the room for some coffee and then he signed this setlist. He seemed pretty happy to see that I brought the setlist even from BA. He told me to check the Vader backstage room too, so I did and I saw Pająk tuning his guitar. We chatted a bit and he was also happy to see this setlist from the Brutal Assault which he signed immediately.
I didn't spend too much time there since I didn't want to bother the fellas.
Awesome people and it was for sure a night to remember!

The best part of owning an autograph indeed is the story of how you got it.

True words! I possess over 300 signatures of over 50 differrent bands so far. And every single one has a story hah. Cheers!

I totally agree, but what's your personal opinion about signing sessions? If you like a band that's giving one, do you go there or what do you think about it?

I got these signatures when I was in the backstage with Venom Inc. but a lot ot times, when there was a signing session on the festival of a band that I like, I didn't attend. But when I did, I went to meet the band that I met before already, and it's nice when they remember you and when they see that you are there. I'm not that kind of a fan that is annoying or something. On the signing sessions everyone is extremely nice and tries to do their best for their fans. Their time is limited and most of the people can't meet with 'em. On meet&greet I saw a lot of people that even don't know to who are they talking to and yet band members are obliged to sign something for them. I remember once one guy asked a drummer of Broken Hope if he can have his guitar pick. And someone who really wanted to meet the band was not able to because there was not enough time, some "fan boy" who can't name one song of the band has to take 50 photos with the band and needs to have signatures all over his personal belongings such as hat, bag, cup, etc.
Bands want to talk to their fans and drink beers as long as they want, and on the signing sessions their time is limited, and nerves too.

Cheers mate! Thanks for your opinion and I have absolutely the same thinking about it. Signing sessions might be cool if you don't had any other chances to get near to the band if you are a die hard fan. But I think it's not as cool as meeting a band outside of a venue e.g.

Exactly! my gf is younger and I like to meet her with the legends this way. It's good for both of us hahah.
As you said, meeting a band is much better somewhere outside where people don't even recognize them haha. Like this Sunday when we went to Ljubljana show (Inquisition/Abbath/Entombed A.D./ Behemoth), nobody recognized L.G. Petrov! But I for sure recognized him and got a free beer from him hahaha! But these "fans" seemed to be there just for Behemoth. The night was amazing, I'll post some stuff from it this or next month when I find time to take photos. Also, that night nobody recognized Dagon of Inquisition as well but he remembered me from the past years and I spent some time with him chatting outside.
Stay safe man and thanks for the flames!
