    I caught 2 in one night once. One from Randy Piper from Wasp, and one from Gene Simmons.

    I also caught a GL pick when I saw Dokken open for Loverboy.

    The coolest one wasn't actually thrown out, but I got it. I got to see Clapton around '93 or '94 in Knoxville from the 2nd row and he did something very unexpected. He came out with an acoustic and opened the show with an unplugged set. At one point while he was sitting, a pick fell from a mic stand in front of him and I saw it fall. Apparently I was the only one that did, because when they took a break between acoustic and electric sets, I crept up and got it. It was a Fender pick, even though all he touched all night was Martins and Gibsons. He even played an ES-335 during the electric set. No Strats at all.

    I have none of those picks now!!

                When I was younger that was the best thing to get from a show. I have caught picks from Scott Ian, Frank Bello, James Hetfield, Johnny Ramone, Greg Steele, Mike Ness and a few others.

                  I caught one from Ace when he was on his warm-up tour before the Kiss reunion. Wasn't a very big crowd and he flicked it out and I put my hand up and it hit right in my palm. Lucky I guess everyone around me was looking to see if someone got it or not.

                  That's the only one and it's from my hero so that's very cool.
