Based on that, it sounds like Dave had tons of modifications to his Flying V model...neck, pickups, electronics, scale length, frets, etc. It sounds like whatever he wants from Gibson, they're willing to make it happen. Whereas, Kiko sounds like he's playing a stock model, even though its technically his "signature" model.

If I had to guess, Kiko would wear your shirt He seems super cool.

Dave, you just never know. But if the latest album is any indication, he's angry again, as its really fast, aggressive, and angry...which makes it good one.

Hope you have a good time at the meet n’ greet!

Now I gotta get a copy of the vinyl for my collection, I’d definitely be trying to get it signed by everyone if they’d just come anywhere nearby and do a signing.

I haven't spent $120 on cds and records in a while but am really excited to meet Mustaine and certainly don't mind paying a few extra bucks to get them signed.

I know the other guitar player, Kiko, but know nothing of the drummer and bassist. I'm wondering if I should only get Dave to sign everything? Who knows if these other 2 guys will be in the band much longer as his lineup changes every 5 years.

Also, I'm not a business anymore but was wondering if I should give him and the guitarist/Kiko a Buddha shirt (I still have ~30).

It doesn't make sense to avoid getting the other current members of the band to sign the album...they played on it and regardless of who he has in the lineup in the future that won't change.

I hope given that this is a promotional event for an album your meeting Dave goes better than it did for me...I had the misfortune of meeting him for a few minutes back in 2006 or so and he was a ROYAL ahole. I've met a lot of well known metal musicians over the years and he was by far the absolute worst experience.

As for giving them shirts, they may accept them but they most likely won't/can't wear them in any public appearances because of their own pickup endorsements (Mustaine is with Duncan and Kiko with Dimarzio).
