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.

Anyway the doc got in trouble.
Wow. Just shows you that you can be in the biggest band on the planet, and still have more money than God,and it wont necessarily stop you from being fucked with by an asshole on your deathbed.
I think as part of the lawsuit filed by Harrison's estate, that guitar was later destroyed, as it should have been.

Nothing more disturbing than a scabs autograph on a record that was recorded before they were in the picture.
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.

Ringo stopped signing stuff a long time ago. He's said that most of the items ended up on eBay.

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.

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.
