I had Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue spit fake blood on me...I'm still not sure if it was a good thing or not. I met his bass tech, he was really nice. I also have met Vince Colosimo, hes a tool

hahahaha that reminds me of a funny story schankeygirl, my brother was on his way to Jakaarta by himself ( it must have looked pretty suspicious, because he was just 18 and on his own traveling to a south east asain county) but he got stopped for a random check, and he was taking into one of those rooms, he asked the security guard " so wheres vince?' and the guy pretty much fell about laughing

Oh no i got a better one: drank beer with James Blundell and his 'mate' in the old bar overlooking the field at the rugby at the Gabba... think its gone now. Gees we belted out some classic tunes that day...

 

[FAY]

Garth has quite a well known artist brother in the arty farty circles, unless you are in those circles you would never have heard of him. He lives in New York and his name is David Rankin, his wife is writer Lily Brett.

I went to the same highschool as Adam Gilchrist but 2 years behind him, he once cornered me in a stairwell and hit me in the shins with a cricket bat because I ran off with his cricket ball in the middle of a lunch time game on the oval. He was really snakey about his games getting interupted. Also his wife's dad was my metal work teacher at the school.

 

[reptilefan95]

My dad got smashed playing junior footy against Johnny the Raper (lucky thats all he did to my dad)

 

[tooninoz]

Haha... my uncle owned the Town and Country pub that Slim Dusty sang about. "I love to have a beer with Terry...". Best of all, I got to surf a qualifying heat in a small Sunny Coast comp against Joel Parkinson. I'd like to say I won...

 

[RemoverAccount]

[moosenoose]

My wife's grandfather was Captain Ben Buckler who led the 41 troops through the Kokoda Track and my great, great Uncle was Johnny Weissmuller....the original tarzan (I think he was originally known best for his Olympic swimming efforts) :lol: Quite interesting relatives I think

 

[grannieannie]

I used to do Lee Harding's (aussie idol) mums nails and he would occasionally come in and say hi.
(I had no idea who he was in the beginning)

My brother in law won one of the first australian reality tv shows called 48 hours (3 contestants have 48 hours to get home from the top of empire state building with $200 and a bunch of check points on the way). I was in his parents lounge room when he arrived home. (yay, NOT)

 

[reptilefan95]

Oh and i lived next door to Matt Corby (the guy who came second in Aussie idol not two long ago)
