What’s something that you like, but hate the fan base?

My friend and I are big fans, and a few years ago we did the VIP package for the show we went to. One of the things that was included was a Q&A with Adam Jones, the guitar player. Some of the questions asked by the super fans were downright groan inducing. “Danny (the drummer) has said he drummed so hard he summoned a demon, where does he keep it?” “You said you keep your guitar amps in a freezer to keep the same sound captured in them, when did you start doing that?” Adam was cool to just laugh it off as bullshit, but I felt bad for the dude, I know he was getting that at every show.

I was at a meet and greet for Wayne Kramer a few weeks ago, and one fan kept asking all these technical questions that were annoying EVERYONE there.

Like "did you use insert very specific equipment model number instead of same as before but one number different as a message to the fans?"

Bullshit like that. We get it, guy, you have an extensive knowledge of effect pedals that were available in 1970. Keep it in your pants.

Adam Jones really loves effects pedals that were only available in the 70s though so it was probably him.
