I have some guitar picks from a few bands. Also caught drumsticks from incubus and Sevendust. Was able to meet sevendust after show and had them to sign the drum stick.

Best thing I got was a beer from deftones singer chino. He came on stage and cracked open a beer and handed it to me in the front of the pit area.

Completely different type of show, but I saw Garth Brooks on the early 90’s. After the show he handed someone a guitar that was used in the show. I thought that was pretty cool.

What a coincidence. I caught mine at Rapides Colosseum in Alexandria about 1982ish.

This is the only real cool band story I have.

Saw The Allman Brothers Band in Atlanta and caught a towel from Butch Trucks.

Was in the balcony at the House of Blues in New Orleans for an Reo Speedwagon show and Bryan Hitt threw one of drumsticks right at my head. I caught it right before it nailed me between the eyes. A hot blonde grabbed it at the same time so I let her have it.lol

Caught a button thrown from Thin Lizzy.
Still a prize possession from the Black Rose tour.
Amazing band.

Saw KISS in ‘79 Lake Charles Civic Center was 12 years old one of the roadies gave me a towel that Gene Simmons had used to wipe the blood he would spit. Was ripping pieces of it on my way out and selling it to other fans. Made some good money. General Admission was awesome back then. Yes, still have it.

I got a drumstick from spank the monkey at the Caterie. Or maybe it was liquid sand. Who’s to say

A few guitar picks and also a mini-bible from Stryper. The most picks I’ve caught at one show was 3 or 4 from Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen. He just rains down picks on the crowd.

My roommate caught Keith Moon’s drumstick of The Who when they played the “Assembly Center”, as it was called back then, in 1977 or 1978. We camped outside the Assembly Center the night before so we could stand close to the stage. After their final encore Moon kicked over his drum set and tossed the sticks while Townsend smashed his guitar. Great show! Had dinner with my old roommate several years ago and he said he still had the drumstick.


I mean this is the winner here, right?
