Question: You’re going to meet David Grissom

[dodgechargerfan]

at a performance clinic where you have a meet & greet ticket as well.

What do you ask?
What do you talk about?



Also, if you’ve never really listened to his stuff, what’s a good place to start?

 

[mongooz]

get on YT and check out david with Joe Ely. that's where it all began. that's where his style and sound came from.

i'm not sure what you talk about, other than maybe let him ask the first questions and let it go from there.
if you try to come up with a "intelligent" question, he's likely heard it 50 times already and nothing is more tiring for famous people than answering the same question over and over.
i wouldn't ask about any of his equipment/sound. all that stuff is on YT.

maybe ask about food or what sports he follows. something NOT music.

I’d first ask who he is. I had no clue the guy existed until every video on YouTube was about his SE model.

That’s kinda what I did when I met Chris Hadfield.

ended up talking about grandkids and how he had not yet met his first grandchild, but was making the trip in a few weeks to do so.

 

[Guitar Heel]

May I please have your guitar? No? OK, that's all I've got.

(actually, I have met him, and he was super nice)

Maybe a "love of guitar for guitar's sake" question, considering that he's not on the radio for most folks.

Ask him if a plane on a conveyor belt can take off, or his opinion on the use of copious amounts of hot glue as a basis for a guitar build.

Does he like Chicken Tinga? Is a Pop Tart a ravioli or a calzone?

[smurfco]

Ask him how it felt to catch the last out of the '95 World Series.

EDIT: Apparently that was Marquis Grissom. Never mind.

 

[Andrew Sak]

I don't do well at meet and greets. I saw Taylor Hawkins at our town fair a few years ago. I didn't know what to say, so I gave him an enthusiastic thumbs up. He was eating a corn dog. It was awkward.

Tell him no. John Cougar too.

 

[Tralfaz]

Ask him how long it's been since he's had a big, thick, steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili.

I would not ask him if he's sucked on a chili dog outside the Tasty Freeze.

 

[smurfco]

Ask him if he knows Ohm’s Law.

You know how @smurfco was doing all the threads based on drug commercials? Anyone of those should work.

What kind of pizza did u and Jerry consume during the sessions?

not the same dude, but I guess that would be funny for the sake of he’s probably heard this a thousand times because playing guitar for the Coug doesn’t exactly make you a household name.

 

[mongooz]

who's Jerry ??

 

[shoeless]

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Skunk would be better suited to answer this

 

[smurfco]

ask him to show you a magic trick

 

[Honkridge]

Ask him about synthetic nuts.
