Almost all of the guys in bands as popular as Shadows Fall (or less so) pretty much hang out with the people and act "normal" (unless they are complete dicks living in a rock star fantasy world...I haven't encountered too many guys like that thankfully), I don't think Fair's actions are unique.

If you scream loud enough directly in people's ears, they can hear you over the music, so I guess the same magic happens when yelling at a mobile's microphone... Now get the fuck up and get a real life. Have you ever been to a concert… at all ?

Luckily, most of the shows I go to are at small local venues and the bands are almost always around chatting with fans. yeah it’s always cool when the bands aren’t afraid to meet real people.

Also, you don't have to stalk the band at the buses or other places at the venue or the hotel, because he makes a point of coming out before shows, walking up and down the lines of people waiting to get in to the venue, and talking to anyone and everyone who'll also make the time for him. He's totally accessible, from what I hear, and reportedly makes it a point to come out from the VIP area from time to time so he can enjoy the total show, too. Not a lot of artists do that, and I understand why from the perspective that sometimes people can't manage to be cool to them. Anyone here can be cynical all they want, but I happen to think it always cool to hear about the pros who don't let the experience of doing music a for a living kill the simple pleasures of why they supposedly do what they do to begin with.
