If they could just put a meet & greet in an affordable price and during this meet & greet sign some stuff of the fans, like their albums, vinyls, stickers etc & then take a few pictures with them, I don't think that this would happen at all. I mean stalking the band outside of their hotel is too much, indeed, as they want some privacy too. But anyway, you can do it once but everytime in a while it's a bit too much. Okay, they are our heroes, we want to meet them, this should be respected too. After all, they won't get killed or something if they go out there sign some stuff & take a picture with some fans.
But booking in the same hotel for a whole leg, wow! You must be rich :D |

Fans hanging out at hotels has been going on since forever its really not a big deal. |
I'm not sure I would want to go out of my way to try to meet the band. I'd probably freeze and not know what to say, and don't really need to find out if my idols are pricks.;)

You can sort of slightly understand it overseas, as they are seldom over here for any great length and don't do any signings or fan meetings so for the people who want to meet them the options are either Concert venues, TV studios if doing promo or outside the hotel. |
In my mind though there is a big difference between waiting outside the bands hotel (which I'm personally not a fan of either but I get it), and stalking them around in the hotel. I think once they are inside, they should be allowed to be normal and not have to worry about fans lurking around corners etc...... Just saying.

They had it worser back in the heyday and when they couldn't get out of the hotel at all and had to wear disguises wherever they went. Here is a link to the band leaving Prague. Check out the man holding the little child. He gets Jon's autograph and Jon gives it to him but then he tries for the second time but Jon is about to give him an autograph but then notices that it's the same man and pushes/shoves him away. They say that Jon sees everything and he is good to recognize the guy. Obviously an autograph hunter. Rolo just again to be on the safe side ND on his shirt stands for Notre Dame, don't want any misunderstanding that it's a secret message to Sambora. https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=xfhEywXm_LM |
My take on that tweet is that fans were getting INSIDE the hotel and trying to find the band....
People hanging around outside the hotel in the hope of maybe seeing them has been happening for decades and is part and parcel of being famous. Stalking them inside takes it to a whole new, and despicable, level. |

Did I ever tell you guys the story about when I was staying at a hotel in Jersey after one of the shows, Jon was staying in the room directly across from me? |

As a 16 year old though (long long time ago) we ran around the hotel car parks, back entrances and front entrances and it was fun. I have heard stupid stories of people knocking on doors they have no business knocking on and being in gyms in full street clothes including heels obviously not there for a work out which just makes them look foolish. |
