He was probably tired or still recovering from jet-lag. He doesn't hate you.

Most likely Jet lag, but I can only assume that there was a very good reason for it man.

I wouldn't take it too personally - if you had been touring for months with a very small break and had just played a huge show with jet lag, would you really be capable of investing a bunch of time into every... single... fan?

It's not personal man - I don't think you have anything to worry about. :)

He must be tired.....

Just like Enigma wrote.
A lot of touring for a long time, not much rest, a jet lag probably, miles away from home and his family....

Just don't take it too personally....


stainlelssly,

Hey mate,

Don't you be worrying now - it took me 4 years from first personal contact with Jordan to finally meet him. Once you do, I promise you it will be well worth it. :biggrin:

You know, I've never seen a DT concert (They don't tour where I live, and when they do come near by, I can't get to travel where they are. Canada is HUGE and so it's not easy to cross 4 provinces that are all larger than most European countries), I've talked to Jordan on the phone and shared several e-mails with him, but I also have yet to meet him, or even see him in person at all.

And I've been this forum's administrator (1 of them) back before even SALTY was an Administrator. (Anyone around here remember 3 forum revisions ago, back when Gabby was the admin?)

So I can easily say I've been following JR for EASILY over 10 years (Closer to 13 I would say) and have yet to meet him.

I wouldn't complain. :)

You also have to remember that all of the guys do it every day they're on tour, they have to sit and say hello, have photos and sign their name 200 odd times over and over as well as travel and play a 2 hour show and take care of other press and band obligations

It's never personal man it's just sometimes not a great time on not a great day near the end of a long tour.

Really? Damn...I need to be a rockstar! Though I can see how it could get tiring after a while...


YEAH BABY

I think they were jet lagged : each time I saw him (meet and greet, frankfurt musikmesse, aftershow) he was always nice, signing me everything I wanted, chating a lot. I think with Mike he is the most talkative guy. James is the one who is the most "pissed off" by aftershows or meet and greets but he said clearly he didn't like that.
But you know in the meet and greets it's rather "industrial" and mechanical. I talked to him at the meet and greet and introduced my wikeyboardwizard and he told me you would mail me and visit it : it never happened but I understand he has other things to do and it was all the same nice to chat with him and see him. If you want to talk to him in a relax way try to catch him when he has a stroll on the cities.

To the OP: did you see Jordan left you a reply in his YouTube video?

"i really didn't mean to!! Honestly must have just been so many people that it was a little overwhelming!"

lol yeah i saw it. Kinda made me feel bad for posting because I know Jordan is probably the nicest guy and he was probably really tired that day.

Hey, this proves Jordan IS THE MAN! You see, he didn't mean to. And don't worry, I didn't meet him yet just as you :wink: Maybe next tour...

Montreal isn't "provinces" far from Nova Scotia, is it ??

Yeah, it is. It takes around 12-14 hours driving to get from Halifax (East coast of Nova Scotia) to Montreal... It's not nearly as close as you would think.

For reference, it would be the equivalent to driving from New York City, NY to Atlanta, Georgia.

It's not exactly a quick little drive :(

DT comes to Quebec City too, which is closer from your place than Montreal.

It takes about 12 hours from my hometown to Montreal and he did once for a Sonata Arctica concert (their first US/Canada tour in 2005!)
