You've gotta get real mate. Put yourself in his shoes and how would you feel about people you don't know wanting to talk to you. I'd tell em to F*** off!

Re: My Attempt to send David Gilmour a letter
Why would you do that?? I would not. I'd be thankful to have earned such success because of people like us... So it's being ungrateful...
Of course there's not many people who ask him every day for an autograph so...

Why would you think that? I believe that he gets more fan mail with autograph requests than we can imagine.kellylily wrote:Of course there's not many people who ask him every day for an autograph so...
Remember Ringo telling his fans to bugger of with autograph requests? (Peace and love, peace and love.) I believe that David's not far from that either.

Re: My Attempt to send David Gilmour a letter
Ringo was just trying to save people the trouble of posting things. I think his video about that was misunderstood. Afterall he could just ignore everything everyone sends. Most stars do.Hudini wrote:Why would you think that?

Re: My Attempt to send David Gilmour a letter
Well he wouldn't have had the need to save people from posting if they haven't been posting too much in the first place. Whatever he meant to say with it, the message he sent was very clear: "Do not post - I will not reply". Whatever his motivation was, this was not misunderstood by anyone.

Re: My Attempt to send David Gilmour a letter
His motivation was that he's been answering fan mail for decades, and he needs to get on with his life. I didn't feel that there was anything particularly unreasonable in his request, and it's better if he tells us up front that he can't reply to all this mail, rather than he doesn't and just doesn't answer it.Hudini wrote:Well he wouldn't have had the need to save people from posting if they haven't been posting too much in the first place.

Re: My Attempt to send David Gilmour a letter
I don't understand why are there so many people in the world that honestly think that if they bought a CD it automatically gives them the right to harass the artist by sending them unwanted mail, stalking their house or whatever they think it's appropriate. Just the fact that a person wrote and recorded a piece of music you like doesn't oblige them to be friends with you.Flying pig437 wrote:So he's obliged to reply is he?

I sent him one and I'm getting rather impatient over his ignoring me.
