Finally after 16 years, I met Liam

Finally after 16 years, I met Liam

Postby Sylar » 19 Apr 2011, 21:09

Went over to Dublin on Friday to see the lads, met up with a few people I've talked to for years, traded with etc..Had an amazing gig / night out

Then we all travelled up to Belfast to watch them on the Sunday, another amazing gig! Was right at the front, got amazing pics I'll upload sometime soon

Anyway so my flight back to Wales was at 10:30am on the Monday, didnt go to bed till around 7am, woke up late at 9:20!
Just about made it to the airport

I'd just checked in and looked up and thought "jesus he looks like Jeff Wooten", being still pretty drunk I didn't click on for a split second, the whole band were standing there

To be honest after all these years I thought I wouldnt have the guts to go upto them, but to my surprise I caught Liams eye, give him the thumbs up and started to walk to him, he walked towards me, shook my hand, gimme a "man hug" :mrgreen:

Chatted to him for about 3/4 mins, he asked me what I was doing there etc... explained to him I'd been to Dublin etc... He thanked me and the missis for coming to the shows, I asked he dreaded question, does he mind if I get a photo, he didnt at all, really nice bloke, walked through the scanners with him aswel then, and was standing next to him and Gem for a bit while we were waiting to board the plane

Didnt get the other lads photos becuase I didnt wanna come across like a stalker fan or something, I got the main mans anyway

Check em out

Ahh mate, very lucky! Good on you, really!! Must've been amazing to meet your hero (I assume ;)) after 16 years! I've only had a musical obsession for about 5/6 years now, and finally managed to meet the singer last year, but that was at a gig and not at a huge place like an airport! Haha man, I take my hat off for you. ;)


Also, I just laughed at Gem's hair sticking out above the other people in that photo. :lol:

Well done man.

I managed to meet Liam at the Pretty Green opening in Glasgow after being obsessed for 16/17 years, that was nervous enough just waiting in the queue so i cant imagine how you felt turning round and just seeing him standing there

good stuff!!!

Wasn't quite as lucky as Sylar, but did manage to get his autograph in Leeds and a couple of pics.
