Does anyone know what the band is like when it comes to signing stuff/getting photos?

at Massey Hall, most performers are greeted by fans at the back door and they sign things. Do you think they would be down for that or are they more standoffish?

depends on what mood they're in. i never asked for autographs, just for pictures

i approached thurston and steve in hoboken. thurston was pretty cool and didn't mind taking a pic. steve was just a fucking cool guy, i think he always is. lee was awesome as well, he even asked me for my name when i forgot to give it to him

i've never approached kim. my friend did, and she told me she was kind of a jerk. she lives up to her reputation.

I think that's pretty unfair. Unless you're famous, you really don't know what it's like to have all those eyes on you. She's probably just very shy.

after shows you should hang out because at the very least, steve will come out to talk to fans. Ussually thurston and lee come too unless they are busy with something, but steve is always down.

They are cool about signing things as well.
Steve signed my sonic nurse shirt. He came out the back of the venue and a security guard tried to keep him from heading to the mass of fans standing respectfully away, and he pointed at us and said something like "those are my peope." and the guard understood. he was cool as fuck.

ive heard nothing but good reports about kim and lee..ive never met them but i know they dont go into too much fan meet and greet shit. but they do certainly make themselves available in a very non rock satr way. i met steve a few years back wandering around after they played..he stood and spoke to me and my mate for about 30 minutes...damn nice... i met thurston before one of his solo shows, he was again sound out but he was in arush so a fleeting conversation but i got both of em to sign my syr4 so now the hunt for the remainder is on!

i mean they are simply human, go up to them if you see em and say hi, be cool and they will be cool back...scream and shout and wave your arms like a schoolgirl and they will probably run away...i know i would....

I've spoken to Kim a couple of times. It wasn't a long conversation, but it was a good experience - she's nice. People who say otherwise were probably intimidated to begin with and so didn't give her much to go on.

Mark kicks ass. Meeting him is a fantastic experience, and I'd love to have him be my cool uncle.

I've never met Steve, but when I met Thurston, Kim and Lee on the 04 Nurse Tour, they were all friendly and accomodating, considering they had cabs waiting for them and everything.

Another time I've met Lee and he was a bit less friendly, but I was probably in his way because he looked like he had somewhere to go, so nevermind.

I've never been big on autographs.

Pictures are cool.

Generally, I'm just happy to meet them.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of autographs, but as Rob says on some occasions it's really nice to get something "meaningful" signed.
I love my sensational fix poster with autographs and when I met Lee the day after the miniparty (I didn't run into him the opening night) at the exhibition he was really nice, my felt tip pen wouldn't work and he took one out from his pocket and signed the poster Which is even cooler, since it's the only signature in blue color (which, for whatever reason, it's the color I associate him with).
Kinda lame post, sorry.

I have met Thurston, Kim, Lee, Steve & Jim and every experience kicked ass, I've even gotten backstage twice...

Thurston and Lee I have met quite a few times now and had the opportunity to have actual conversations with them. They are wonderful! Jim hung out with us for a good 20+ mins after a show once.

I have everyones autographs and various pics with them...

At Thurstons solo 'Trees' show they actually called my friend and I backstage to take pics with Thurston becuz of my DIY shirt.
Thurston stuff:

At Lee's solo 'Rock Paper Scissors' performance, him and Mike Watt were all smiles and spoke a lot about the art exhibit with me and my friend.
Lee stuff:
http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/sho...=lee+spaceland

All of them are down to earth, kind-hearted people who have not let fame jade them. Sonic love/Sonic life/etc.

I saw them hanging outside venues a few times but usually didn't dare to speak with them. The first time i talked to them was in 2002. They all signed my copy of the terrastock single. jim was surprised i asked for his autograph too.
On Thurston's ATP sonicl forced me to talk to Steve who was cool to ignore my embarrassment. I did get an atp backstage pass from Lee but was to shy to speak with them.

I've met Lee twice and he's really friendly. I chatted with him for about 20 minutes but I was so impressed I was just kissing his ass all of the time. "Hey man I loved the gig, I was at the front row!" I could see him thinking "Yeah sure kiddo good for you". He's a nice guy though.
I talked to Thurston too but he wasn't that friendly. But I think that's because they were about to leave and they were in a hurry.

A friend of mine attended a Lee spoken-word gig and ended up meeting Lee. He got to talk with Lee for several minutes and Lee gave him a signed sheet of poetry.

I spoke to Lee twice - once very briefly and once for a longer time (well, it was mostly greenlight who did most of the talking, I was too busy keeping the saliva inside my mouth). He was very cool and friendly and at ease at both occassions. Then once I asked Thurston and Kim to take a picture with me at the Roundhouse show, for which I have to thank sonicl as it was him who forced me to run into them and ask them for a picture.
And last time I shook Thurston's hand and got a book autographed by him.
I live a dynamic life.
