Has anyone ever waited for an autograph after a concert?

[twinmatrix]

I assume someone of Stevie's caliber just walks right into her limo after the concert surrounded by bodyguards but I've never tried or waited around. Curious to hear any stories.

I have waited around after Stevie and Fleetwood Mac concerts many times and have never seen her sign any autographs. She rolled down the window and waved once but usually doesn't acknowledge the fans waiting. At least that's been my experience.

She generally avoids the great unwashed.. Unless money is involved like a store signing

You'd think she take ,$1000 from her fans for meet and greets

I think the older she gets the less likely she opens windows to wave or engage fans.
In 1984 I saw Christine's tour bus named "The Challenge" parked a few blocks from the theater she was playing. Can you imagine that today?

Don't waste your time trying to get an autograph from her.

Gathering from bits and pieces i've noticed over the past 5+ years, she is yet another celebrity who got real pissed to find out people might sell her autograph on ebay and as a result, got extremely buttoned up about signing for people.

There's a video of her leaving a grammy party a few years ago and some guy asks her to sign something and Karen get's real defensive and insists on getting the guys name so stevie can dedicate the autograph. Autographs are worth less and are less likely to be sold if they are inscribed.

Every album cover from the IYD in store autograph signings were all inscribed, you won't find one without an inscription. Again, autograph collectors are less likely to sell if it's inscribed and the value is much less.

That really cute buckingham nicks album cover moment captured on video a few weeks ago on the Pretenders tour - she asked that person to "hang out" because she sure as heck was going to make sure it was inscribed to them, not just signed and returned quickly.

There was a story i read somewhere a few years ago where somebody met her backstage and an autograph photo was treated and given away as a special gift.

Like I said, it sounds like she has a real issue with non-fans selling her autograph and instead she just rarely signs for anyone now. She used to have a lady handle her mail and she would forward items to Stevie to sign, but that ship sailed in the late 90's.

I met Lindsey on his "One Man Show" tour and as he was signing my B/N cover I mentioned it would be cool to have her sign it someday, even he said "good luck with that!"

That's funny because when she was at Barnes and Noble for the Soundstage release they actually told all of us that she wouldn't personalize the signatures and not to ask. She just wrote her standard "Much Love, Stevie Nicks".

How did you find that out?

Well hey, I wasn't aware of that. Good to know! like I said, just going off of observation and stories from other encounters.

I suppose this is not as interesting, but we DID hang out behind the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Texas after Christine McVie's solo tour. Sure enough, she and her band came out the back door and headed into a waiting passenger van. I managed to get Chris to sign a vinyl copy of her self titled solo album. It all happened extremely quick, and our English lady didn't take much time to stop and chat.
