You have to hand it to Motley Crue’s manager for being so cool and letting Steve-O come back stage to meet the band and giving him 5th row tickets. You figure, that is literally the opposite of what most big band managers would do. Most managers would have told him off and to stay the eff away from the hotel. That’s really cool of him to reward the kid for his persistence.

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Good guy and maybe he's a manager because he was once a kid who liked bands now he manages them. It's a great story.

[@johndough2902]

@@Google_Does_Evil_Now It was the brothers manager that gave him the tickets, but it shows the manager is obviously nice too because he had to approve it.

It was the kid sounding voice that got him. Here you are a big wig band manager and you’re on the phone with some kid fanatic that just called every hotel just to talk to them.

This story is cool as hell. I have a similar story (definitely not as cool as Steve-O). Anyway, back in 1998 I wanted to go see Metallica in Atlanta. I was 14 and my dad said no. I said “what if I win tickets off the radio?” he said “deal” and laughed but shook my hand. The day of the concert the radio station played 3 Metallica songs really fast and blended them together. I used a tape and recorded it. I called in, named the 3 songs, and won 2 tickets. You should have seen my dads face when I told him he had to take me to see Metallica on a Friday night! We went and had a blast (I think my Dad just suffered through it) The best part was we were in the 10th row
