Has anyone here met Karl or Rick in person?
 

If you have then can you share where you were and so on. If you got a picture taken could you post it. Please do not respond with just "yes" or "no", it will make this thread pointless and not very enjoyable for anyone to read. Thanks guys.:)

No, never met them.

Yes, myself and another dirt met Rick outside of the Roseland theater in NYC a few years back. He was a very cool, and very tall guy :) He also explained the plight of playing gigs in the US and assured us that if we could rustle-up 6000 folks for tickets, they'd play out this way all the time lol.

Thanks for your input potatobroth. It's great to know that not everyone on here are clowns. I didn't realize that Underworld did so poorly with tickets sales in the U.S.

This was at the iTunes festival, London in 2010. Surprisingly, Rick was standing in the crowd, right in front of me about 60 mins before Underworld were due on stage. Rick was really getting in to "Kele", but I couldn't resist the urge to say hello, and say how much I appreciated his work.

After the picture, Rick said that he hated fanboys, and told me to piss off so he could have a smoke.

He probably just hates clowns.

The U.S. actually has Underworld's second largest fanbase. The problem is that it's so geographically dispersed.

And in case you were wondering, Japan, Australia, and Germany are 3rd, 4th, and 5th (not necessarily in that order).

Yeah, its really hard to sell out a show in any particular city. we discussed the idea of playing a down-tempo show one night followed by a normal mix of a show the second night. ticket sales just dont justify the sheer cost of moving all the people, lights, displays, equipment over the pond.

because of this, i flew to london once, to see them. an emergency with the band caused a cancellation of the show - however i had a fantastic night with a bunch of Dirts that we met. :)

i was with Potatohead:p at the Roseland where we met ( aka i stalked ) Rick.
got something(s) signed that i'll cherish forever.
also flew to London for that cancelled 3rd of 3 Roundhouse gigs, but Fabric Nightclub saved me.
