I did the Riddle Box VIP, my thoughts are, save your money. I paid a 100 bucks plus a venue ticket, which came up to around 135. The meet and greet was less than a minute. Everyone was pushed through by the staff. Only 1 item per person was signed. And then 1 picture per person. We got a riddle box sampler on cassette and a comic that I still haven't looked through.

Faygogedden kinda sucks, simply as you may not even be allowed on stage. We lined up before the last song. And before any of us got allowed theough, the crowd jumped up there. So I got stuck in the back against the riddle box tarp while Shaggy squeezed by in front of me and J made his exit too. Faygogeddenn is no longer ICP doing it, just the fans. 

But hey, if you got the money, go ahead. It was a bit disappointing for me personally.

Yeah. I can also confirm pretty much what everyone else is saying.

between the riddlebox tour, the violent J solo tour, and a few different twiztid tours I've probably gotten 5-6 VIPs in recent years

basically, IMO, twiztid's are better. they're usually not as crowded or rushed as ICP is - although granted as both ICP tours I went too were 'special' tours, who knows what a 'regular' VIP is like for them. Basically, you get your shit signed, get a picture, a quick 'sup' and a 'thank you for coming' from J and Shaggy, thats it. Twiztid VIPs are pretty cool as long as you're reasonable - I usually only bring a few things to get signed because I respect their, and everyone elses time. and their set-up is almost more like a comic-con signing, you go through the line of every other artist on your way to meet twiztid, so you usually stop and chill while waiting for the person in front of you and end up talking to boondox or blaze for a little bit.

these days, I don't know if I'd even consider VIPs worth it, though.

I was curious about this too I think I'd buy vips for twiztid and wait for the gathering to try to kick it with psychopathics people

In the cities that their following isnt crazy big than the VIP Meet N Greet will be a little more laid back and you will have more time to get more stuff agnagraphed.

Not true from the VIP at the Erie show, first time they've ever played here and the VIP was just one autograph, say some stuff, then get back in line for a pic.

It has always blown my mind why any entertainer would charge people money to meet them or take pictures or sign some shit.  That is called "fan service".  I have been in the pro-wrestling and music business for 17 and a half years (I've even worked for Psychopathic/JCW a couple times), and I never once asked any of my fans or patrons of the events for money for a photo or an autograph...let alone to "meet me" for Christ's sake...  The way I see it, they already bought a ticket to the show to support me, so why would I tax them any more than that?  If they want to buy some merch, that's wonderful.  But to tax people for fan service is not only greedy and whack as fuck, but it is disrespectful to the fans who've already paid your bills.  I've been rushed in the streets by groups of people asking for pictures and autographs and I always just appreciated the fact that I even have fans.  Especially overseas.

There's a demand for it so they offer it as does any artist who has VIP packages available. From one of the previous times I met them and was talking too them: They really don't like doing VIP. It's not like ICP can just walk around with face paint on and not get mobbed by people wanting pictures and autographs. 

I have done VIP multiple times

First time was death pop: it was my first time meeting them, explained to them how much their stuff has meant to me,how they kept me from ending my life a few times, J looks into my eyes and goes "Fuck that,never do that,we need you here too much"....that blew me away, i also relayed a funny story how about in the early 2000's before smartphones i got laid from a stripper by telling her i was J, a few weeks later a interview came out and J relayed that story to the interviewer

than i met them again at a in store for the missing link, both j and shaggy remembered me and the story i told and shaggy was like "goddamn, that shit was so funny,i was laughing for a few days after"

than i met J again at the solo tour: That VIP was amazing because it was just J taking like 5 people at a time into the back room hanging out for 15-20 minutes, he remembered me again,and spent most of the time talking to me, told me "you are really hard to forget,you are so charismatic, its just impossible to forget you"

Than just recently i went to the milenko tour in seattle and in portland, i went because i have had some health issues and doctors havent given me a whole lot of time left. In seattle i told them that these might be the last opportunities i get to meet them, J asked "Why, whats going on" and i explained my health, J started clutching his head and turned away saying "No no no,man i cant hear that right now, fuck", so i got my picture and bounced, during faygo armageddon i fell off the side of the stage and hit my head on the concrete, shaggy,j, and lyte all came down and helped get me into a chair and poured water on the wound to wash it, all the guys from psychopathic took care of me.

The next day in portland i was hurting pretty bad,but i still had to go. When i walked in J was like "goddamn man,i was worried about you all last night,i took a fall like that during my JCW days, and i couldnt walk the next day, really glad to see you" and shaggy was like "Yea man,i saw that fall,holy fuck that shit was scary". So the way they structure it is that everyone goes in to sign shit and than they line up to do pictures in front of a milenko background, the guy from psychopathic says "hey man,you hang to the back,they want you in last" i dont know what the fuck that means, but i go in to take the picture, we're talking and shit, i go to walk away and shaggy puts his hand on my chest and goes "hold on man, last night i was thinking about all that shit you told us last night, and i gotta say, you are fucking stupid to giving up on your life, go to another doctor, fight that shit, you are such a good dude,we can see it every time we meet you,you have such good karma that i wont accept you not being around for the next tour, you gotta be here" and J was like "fuck yea bro,if some doctor tells you that you are going to die you tell that motherfucker to lick your fucking nuts" as i am walking out i had a breakdown, i was getting emotional, i had to go hang out outside the venue and get my shit together, ended up sitting with lyte for a while and talking.

Every time i have met them it has been a amazing experience 

Doctors couldnt figure out was wrong with me, but everything was spreading and i was in more pain every day. They had told me that eventually "Your body just wont be able handle it any more". Before going to the show honestly i had resigned myself to death, and was fully planning on going about my life until the pain got too much to stand and than i was going to end my life. Shaggy was getting in my face,basically yelling at me,after the show in the hotel honestly i completely broke down,and realized he was right, i wasent going to let this shit beat me. So i went to a new doctor the next week, a much smarter doctor, who figured out that it was a parasitic worm that i probably got when i visited Australia early in the year,i am on a new regimen of medications,and i am getting better  

i get you,and thanks bro, its all good though,i mean i am still sick,and if it was left untreated the parasite would of at some point shut down some vital organs, i am not out of the woods, but i am not coughing and shitting blood every 3 hours anymore, and i am not in indescribable pain 24 hours a day anymore

As crazy as it sounds, if shaggy hadent of gotten all up in my shit and called me out on my stupidity i might be dead right now
