  • Has anyone caught a pick at a concert?

    My friend has caught 3 picks at the past 3 concerts he's been too. I think it's kind of ridiculous considering how improbable it is since it's near impossible to see in the air. Anyone else catch any?

    yea, I've got a couple at home. Although I think I only caught one, IIRC. The other was picked up off the floor after the crowd had dispersed. I'm not big on collecting that sort of thing, but it was still kinda neat

      Last pick I caught was back in 1985 at a Stryper concert.

        Sort of. I got a pick from Piggy at a Voivod show back in 1990 or 91. I asked him for it though.

          I caught a pick that Paul Stanley threw into the crowd at a KISS show back in '89 or so...

            I've got about 15 to 20 picks from shows over the years. At one point I had over 25 Dave Mustaine picks from one show. The show was over and they threw everybody out. I knew the right people and was able to hang around for a few more hours, so I started walking the stageline and crowd floor. I found the 25 or so picks and about $40.

              I didn't catch it, but my wife picked one up from Joe Satriani off the ground. He had used it through most of the set and all of the guys standing in front were "too cool" to look for it.

                      I caught Reb Beach's and Steve Vai's picks. I've also caught drum sticks.

                              I caught EVH's pick, the rest I picked up off of the floor.
                              I have one from Joe Holmes (he didn't last very long w/ Ozzy)
                              Dave Mustaine
                              Johnny Cash

                              B.B. King
                              Damage Plan (not Dime, the bass player)
                              That's all I can think of right now.
