Not really meeting as such...Nor heroes either.
I nearly ran over Blaze Bailey from Wolfsbane (at the time) as he was crossing the road at Marble Arch in London. If only I'd got him, Iron Maiden wouldn't have gone shit.

Dunno whether this is a reflection on my driving abilities, or on poor road safety lessons for soft spoken northern writers and hairy heavy metal singist nobs.
That reminds me, met Dave Prowse at a comic fair. Top bloke, and taller than my mate even when sitting down. Wouldn't pick him up by the throat though.
Signs his photos "Dave Prowse IS Darth Vader"
Can't argue with that.
