It's actually a really good photo. Yeah Jerry is one of those rare guys that I probably would go ahead and ask for the photo.

It's weird. Like I wouldn't ask most, but I would ask Jerry. But if I met Axl, I wouldn't ask Axl. But if I met Slash, i'd probably ask Slash. But if I met Izzy, I wouldn't.

If I met ANYONE from Motley Crue, i'd probably be the one refusing photos. Meeting Nikki or Mick would be cool, but if I saw Vince or Tommy, i'd keep right on walking, short of a "hey man, what up".

It's complicated.

It's funny you mention the "walking Hey man, what up" because that happened with Rob Zombie about 2 minutes after the above photo was taken!

We'd just finished with my buddy and his wife bothering the shit out of Cantrell and when we walked away, here comes Rob Zombie walking toward us! He was talking to a friend but we made eye contact so I just gave a head nod and he said "What up". When we got about 20 feet or so apart, I turned but kept walking and said "Can't wait for 'Rejects' man!" and he turned over his shoulder and said "I hope you'll like it!"

My buddies wife was like "WHO WAS THAT?! WHO WAS THAT?!" and since we were far enough apart, I kept acting like I didn't hear her until we got out to the cab stand and I said "Oh, that was Rob Zombie".

I waited that long because if I'd said something inside, she would've ran to bother him and I didn't want that for two reasons. One, if he wanted to stop to talk to fans, he would've. And two because if she was a fan, she should've known who it was without having to be told. No need to run and bother someone because you were told they were famous.

Funny side point, that I just now remembered; we all went to Vegas about 8 years ago for that same couple to get their vows renewed. We all ran into Tommy Lee at that exact same place (The Hard Rock Casino) and she got a picture with her in her wedding dress. Tommy Lee kissed her on the cheek during the photo and I joked about how she needed to scrub that check clean ASAP!
