Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
Peter Criss has a list of shit he won’t sign.
***NOTE: Peter will not sign copies of Nothin' To Lose,
Sealed With A KISS, or Behind the Mask.
Rockologists remake of "Let Me Rock You" and "Out Of Control" will not be signed.

I think as part of the lawsuit filed by Harrison's estate, that guitar was later destroyed, as it should have been.HueyRamone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2024 1:06 pmWow.

Anyway the doc got in trouble.

Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
Nicko accidentally signed my copy of Killers. Seems to be a Maiden thing, a buddy met them backstage in the Blaze era and he has a collection of 10-15 cds beautifully signed by .... Blaze Bayley, Janick Gers and Steve Harris.MetalSludgeCEO wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2024 9:40 am
Nothing more disturbing than a scabs autograph on a record that was recorded before they were in the picture.

Ringo stopped signing stuff a long time ago. He's said that most of the items ended up on eBay.CrankerBait wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2024 11:59 amI think as part of the lawsuit filed by Harrison's estate, that guitar was later destroyed, as it should have been.HueyRamone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2024 1:06 pmWow.

Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
A lot of it probably did end up on eBay, unfortunately. If I were famous and I signed an autograph for a kid or a supposed superfan and later found out it was just a scam to make money off my autograph, I wouldn't be too happy about it either. When I was a kid and got autographs from my favorite hockey players, it was genuine and it meant something to me. If the roles had been reversed I think I would have felt like I'd been cheated.Turner Coates wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2024 3:06 pmRingo stopped signing stuff a long time ago.

I remember someone sharing a photo on this forum of a classic Metallica record signed by Robert Trujillo, long before he joined the band.

Many celebs will make you give your name for them to put with the autograph. Some wrestling fans are the worst when they stalk them in airports with 10 pictures ready for them to sign.

Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
The guy from Ministry refused to sign their first album and didn’t acknowledge it. Recently, I have heard he has started signing it.
It was electronic synth - really good but then he went all hardcore. Completely different direction.

Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
I think the scabs should tell the fan that they are not on the album and ask if they still want it signed. That way they know… I had a copy of Peace Sells autographed by Chuck Beehler and Jeff Young. It also had Mustaine and Ellefson. Sold it years later for like 10 bucks with no vinyl inside. Definitely not missing it now.

Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
Had a few doing just that... Craig Goldy, Scott Travis, Simon Wright. And a few who were wrong - Cozy Powell had to tell Neil Murray he played on the Slide It In album even if he's not credited, and Messiah Marcolin not realizing he sang on the bonus live CD in Epicus Doomicus Metallicus.Michael Hotts Ghost wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 1:25 am I think the scabs should tell the fan that they are not on the album and ask if they still want it signed.

Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
speaking of autographs. I had followed Todd's autograph arena since the early internet days. I hadn't seen anything from him in a while. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago.

Re: Musicians refusing to sign an album
I went to Warehouse where Frehley's Comet was signing. I had them all sign their debut, and Billy Ward, the live drummer, signed it like all the rest.
That didnt bother me. What bothered me was I was stupid enough to have Ace sign it along with the rest, instead of bringing along his 78 solo to sign.
Either way Ace wasnt friendly (of course)

I remember seeing videos of Todd doing promos with wrestlers. Priceless cringe humor.
