If it's the same guy, the Pumpkins drummer. Where did you hear this; I haven't heard anything about it.

Sure, get all picky on us. Like drummers with the same last name aren't totally interchangeable.

Although, to be fair, Jimmy's last name was erroneously spelled that way on copies of Gish.

The only Punkins album I ever bought. Probably right after it came out, on cassette, and no doubt discarded into a trash bin sometime later after seeing their horrible live performance on the Chili Peppers/Punkins/Pearl Jam food tour.

When Rock N' Roll High School came out the Ramones did an in-store to promote it at Penguin Feather Records in Bailey's Crossroads (if anyone remembers these stores they were headshops as well - I remember wondering why the hell they sold scales in the record stores and what were all these tiny little spoons for???).  Anyway, I've got a flyer advertising the in-store signed by the whole band.
 
 And you know those numbers they use to post the price of gas on those marquee things at gas stations???  I've got one signed by Iggy.  It's a big "0".

Mostly setlists and picks and a couple of back stage passes.
 
 Coolest might be The Cult pass and picks from their first 9:30 appearance.
 
 Sonic Youth setlists with the guitars for each song on them.  I have a Goo CD box with all of SY's sigs on it.  Lee's is really cool.

um...
 
 some autographed Kristin Hersh stuff incl posters
 
 some autographed Lloyd Cole stuff
 
 had Joey, Kims and Daves autographs from the Pixies at some stage as well
 
 my access all areas pass from Nirvana's 1991 Dublin gig...although its a generic pass so no-one could tell it was Nirvana
 
 at one stage I had a Babes in Toyland setlist from a show at a tiny underground venue in Stuttgart that held about 50 people....probably lost now
 
 quite a few concert posters....do they count as memorabilia?

my only really unique thing is a lyric sheet from REM's "nightswimming" that stipe threw into the crowd ... can you believe he needs lyric sheets to every fucking song they do?

I remember driving by the Penguin Feather in Vienna with my mom when i was little and seeing a bunch of mothers picketing outside with signs about how the store sold drug paraphernalia..and my mother explaining to me what drug paraphernalia was.
 
 Now there is a vacuum repair shop there.

Man this thread just proves I never got any free stuff at shows.
 
 the best I got was Nick Menza's drumstick from Megadeth.
 
 Good lord, I have never seen a more beat up piece of lumber in my life.

My ticket stub from the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense tour stop at Merriweather, and my all-access pass from Metallica's Black Album tour (courtesy of a friend who was in the road crew).
 
 All-access passes are the only way to see an arena show.  :)

I have some other cool setlists too.  Ones with the comments about the songs (Slant 6 and Superdrag), hand written, and just odd.
