news flash dear fools - there are NO rock stars any more... haven't been for, at least, twenty-five (25) years... bank on it...

At an in-store gig, back in the day, I made some heavy eye contact with the drummer. After the show we chatted and were definitely flirting. The next day I knew they were doing a live set on the local indie rock station, so I decided to have lunch near the studio. I conveniently "ran into" drummer boy at the proximal deli. He had some time to kill so we went for coffee and to check out the local shops. He was on the road a lot, but we kept in touch for many years, as occasional friends with benefits, and I got to swoon when he'd sing in my direction during their shows.

Playing it cool and uninterested may work for some, but I've found that really listening to the music the guy you've set your sights on is playing and being able to make intelligent remarks on it always helps to get the
ball(s) (so to speak) rolling.
Rockers don't really do it for me but I have a real soft spot for jazz musicians and I often talk to them after their gigs. Saying what I really think about their music, the good AND the bad, and not just fawning, makes them sit up and take notice. I actually married a quasi-famous jazz rock musician/composer and had a fling with a VERY famous jazz bassist one.

If they are both 20 how is she going to buy him a drink?
I hooked up for a while with a quasi-famous musician girl and did so by simply flirting with her on Nerve when I saw her photo and pretended to have know idea she used to be in a quasi famous band. But, I did talk about other bands in her genre.
That said, I've known some quasi famous band dudes and a couple girls who like to fuck quasi famous band dudes and the chat up line that I've heard works best is the girl just saying "Wanna fuck?"
This works because in general band guys know that girls talk to them at shows because they want to fuck them, but most of the time the girls are all coy about it, but the ones who say "wanna fuck?" break the ice - and make them feel like the girl won't want to become a girlfriend/stalker.
And, yeah... if you hook up with a band dude on tour, you won't be his girlfriend, you'll be the "girl he fucked in (insert city here)" but some girls are fine with that.
The bottom line is that girls on tour are different from girls in "real life."

this is all good advice, except for one very important piece of information: whether or not the guy has a girlfriend, either in town or in another town. he may not admit this, and he may be willing to fuck anyway (if he insists on going to your place that is confirmation - she's at his!). and be prepared for him to reconcile with her while on tour. if he doesn't call, there's that confirmation. at least that was my experience.

When it comes to musicians....don't do it! No, I've "known" many decent guitar players and bass players (and even a cello player or two!) but I dated a singer who used to be in a fairly well known band and he was the douche to end all douches. And I got his attention by.....being awesome and unintentionally unavailable.

My very attractive on-and-off boyfriend/lover is the lead singer of a band, and I met him when I asked him to dance with me in between a set he played.

I once made out with an adorable bassist in a not-too-terribly-famous indie band after we were both ordering Brooklyn Brown at the bar, and I looked over and asked him, half joking, how many illegitimate kids the pretty-boy lead singer had. Bassist looked surprised for a moment, then said, "three." We made out in a corner about two hours later.

The trick to interacting with all famous people: find out what they like that has nothing to do with what they're famous for, and talk about that. Because they're sick of talking about what they're famous for!
