Guitar Picks etc ...

Let's see.

I have two drum sticks. One I bought from some random 40 year old walking in Columbus, the other Jeremy walked up to me and handed it to me after a show in Rochester, or Rochy as you losers like to call it.

I have one Steve pick that I caught in Columbus. No one bothered to look down, and there was one there, so I dropped down and grabbed it. Heh, suckers.

I had one Mike Eisenstein pick. Some girl asked Mike for the pick after the 6-18-02 in store performance, and Mike turned and anded it to me. I then proceeded to walk over to Stephanie and give it to her. Then as she was talking to Mike, I proceeded to talk to the girl I was to date after Stephanie, months later. I still think it's uncanny that I met Lauren months before I actually met her. It's kind of cute, yet stupid.

But yeah, I catch lots of shit. Like syphilis.

those are the older picks. They updated the way Our Lady Peace is written. I can't believe it is $30.00 Mike's. I guess cause you can't get those anymore(unless on ebay). the one i have has his name in black print.
I am lucky. I have everyone's pick including Mike E's, Jamie used Riane's pick's. (except Duncan-he doesn't use them) I have to say the ones that mean the most to me is Raine's from Birmingham, Steve from Manchester and Much Video Awards Pre-Show, Jeremy's Stick form Lupos in Rhode Island. Mike E form Northern Lights.. I say this because these are the actual picks and stick used in the concert. Except for Raine, Steve and Jeremy handed me their pick/stick so it is that much more special. I also got a Pick from Mike Turner that he gave me years ago. I am always collecting picks. It took me forever to get Raine's again. I was always getting them at shows, but I gave them to people. I asked him for one and he said "don't you have one all ready. I told him no cause I gave them away. I gave him a Bono pick(2 actually) and I told him you owe me one of yours now. When I saw them in Philly last year he put onei n his pocket and gave it to me after the show. I have 3 of Raine's now( one black one Stace gave us at the London Ontario soundcheck last year) The one Raine gave me, and the one I got from the show. I have 3 from Steve, and Jeremy's drum stick

I am also lucky cause with a lot of shows in NYC, I know Security so they will get me a pick. My most treasured items are U2's pick's( I need Larry's drumstick) and OLP's picks and Stick, Foo Fighter's drum sticks and Matt Sorum Drum sticks. I actually have all my picks in ajar.

My friend's and I use to make earrings out of them when we were in our teens. We use to see alot of local bands. Now you see alot of people doing that.

Oh Yeah, with Kimmy and the infamous Bra pick. THat was funny. Steve was tossing picks to the audience. A little while later she saw one fell in her bra. I remember her saying GOOD JOB GIRLS :lol:

I just looked up U2. the picks I have are going for $125.00 and $85.00( the Edge) $85.00(Adam) , They don't have the Bono one from the Elevation tour. I actually gave Mike one of Edge's. He was influenced by the Edge. he was really surprised I gave it to him. Now I see it is worth $125.00. Damn Mike owes me big time. :lol:

I actually have seen Duncan throw a pick out into the crowd after a show, so I guess he does have a guitar pick, just that I've never seen one. I want one. Now. :lol:

He doesn't have any.( he even told me and a few other girls he doesn't use picks) He probably tossed out one of Raine's or Steve's. Duncan uses his fingers. You should see the blisters he has from it.

Watch the I & I from Music Plus. I think he actually said that also. Maybe not blisters, but his fingers do take a beating. Maybe iti s callous( did I spell that right) When we asked him for apick years ago, he showed us his fingers. Watch how Duncan plays. he more or less picks them strums. I know you play guitar, but i know alot of people who don't use picks that get blisters from playing..

I've never formed blisters on my fingers. When I first started, my skin was irratated but that went away.

I play slap bass and sometimes my fingers do blister up, but now they're covered in huge fucking callouses.

And I saw Duncan pull the pick out of his pocket. It's entirely possible that during some runs he does use a pick. I mean, some of the shit he plays would be fucking impossible to play and sound well with just fingers.
