workingman Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 QUOTE (jmdyyz @ Apr 13 2011, 04:28 PM) MSG Items back - tour book signed alex photo signed MP Signed Ghostrider Signed NP Buddy Rich- Signed Awesome!! Congrats. Hope is fading for me. I was at the MSG show last Sunday with my brother-in-law. Great chow (minus the technical hickups with their videos). I mailed 2 items (Hemisphere vinyl cover and separately mailed copy of Roadshow to Neil) with USPS Deliver Confirmation to the venue early last week to arrive on Thursday or Friday before the show on Sunday. I have not received the confirmation or my items back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32Ford Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I"m losing hope as well. Sent a poster to Greensboro and it's not back. Poster definitely got there and was forwarded to the band but that's about all I have so far. So it looks like my Hold Your Fire poster is gone.

workingman Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Simple request for information : Has ANYONE (besides jmdyyz) gotten any of their items back (signed or un-signed) from MSG? I can accept if the items did not get signed by the boys, but to not even get them returned is a bit hard to take (especially since a fully postage pre-paid SASE for all items with enclosed).

Neil openly says in his book the band are perfectly happy to sign stuff left at venues after all they're not replying they're only signing autographs which takes a second or two.....go read for yourself! But....as Neil stated in the MD situation, I'm sure there's a point where this will become pretty common knowledge, and get out of hand like sending him stuff through MD mag. When I see people sending multiple items, and multiple times, I can only think GREED! Which to me makes it tougher for people learning this "technique" that want one item signed in the future. Not to sound like an admonishing parent, but some people really need to mellow out, send your "item" or two, and be happy if you get it back. I can see a point where they walk into a room, and there are 50-100 items to sign...that would turn me off to continuing this practice. I have my MD postcard from the mid 80's. I have my Hemispheres album signed by the band from two weeks ago. I'm done, I appreciate that the band took the time to sign my thing. and I don't anticipate sending another item, let someone else that really wants their thing signed get their chance. I also don't see the logic in emailing the venue!?! If it's mailed there, attn: Someone in their touring party, I'm sure that unless they have strict rules, the package will be delivered....My stock answer would be what you have been receiving Edited April 19, 2011 by Jaminbenb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordgt99 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I wish I had been able to send something in to get signed, but was nervous about it getting lost. Had I gotten the second copy of Signals on vinyl from a friend in time I would have tried sending that to the Atlanta show. It would have been very cool to have gotten a response back from Neil. Too bad that option is gone, but maybe next time I'll just send a thank you note & be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
