And the hits keep on coming...
Some musically-minded cringes.

First: Met (then) Cradle of Filth Guitarist Gian Pyres at Wembley (this was on the Slayer tour just after 9/11 when Pantera pulled out. Gutted.), shook his hand and asked him his name, not twigging who the bloody hell he was but thinking "he looks very familiar". My friend pointed out who he was and it was then that I could feel my cheeks burning and all I could muster was "Oh" before running away to find a hole to throw myself in. Found out afterwards that he found the whole thing very amusing and said that I was "Cool", so it all worked out in the end.

Second: Standing at the bar down The Dev in Camden, minding my own business when I feel a tap on the shoulder. Turn around to find someone showing me a Cannibal Corpse top. He thinks it's mine and I've dropped it, I thought, so told him "Sorry mate, it's not mine". Turned out it was his, he was showing it to me (I had a Cannibal Corpse top on at the time so it was some show of camaraderie I guess) and he started chatting to me about them. All nice and good until I ask him his name. Turns out he's the guitarist (and founder member) of Dark Funeral (top top band) and, once again, I had failed to recognise him. Sadly, I went into full-on, gushing fan-boy mode and I cringe when I think back to how much of a TWAT I must have looked at the time, saying stuff like "I've got all your albums, you guys are sooooo good!" (in fairness they DO rock).

Ugh!!!

You get my vote
just for having good taste.

Funny story though, although Cradle change members so often, it is hard to remember them all!
