He was a really nice guy in my dream.
... ;P |

I met both Geddy and Billy Sheehan backstage, and they were both gentlemen - in fact, each spent about ten minutes with me. It was very cool!  |

He signed an autograph but said little else to me. Alex Lifeson on the other hand could not have been more gracious. Spent about ten minutes just chatting and then he apologized for having to leave. Great guitar player and even better guy. |

A few months later, their road manager invited me to attend a Braves home game with Mr. Lee. [We beat the Astros! <g> ]. He's absolutely a class act.

I scored his room number from room service and had him sign my Roll The Bones cover. He was torqued at me for 'discovering' him but signed my item. He just asked that I not tell anyone else about his location..
Hahaha he actually said, "this is bullshiat" after I spilled it that I wasn't really there for room service.. heh.

I don't know about non-positive. He signed you an autograph, didn't he? Even though sounc check was done, that doesn't mean you can just sit back and laze around til showtime. However, I know what you mean about Alex, I've never met him but from watching interviews, even just from watching him play live, he comes across as an incredibly cool, fun type of guy. |

I got to meet him when he was signing his solo CD a couple of year ago. Just a totally nice guy. He was supposed to only sign the first 500 CD's purchased, but about 1000 people showed up. He stayed and signed everyone stuff.
That gets big points in my book.  |
