AC/DC best for autograph seekers

AC/DC topped a list of musicians in 2008 with the best attitude toward signing autographs and meeting fans, compiled by Canadian celebrity news outlet HoundsTV.com. Joining the Australian rockers at the top of the heap were Coldplay and the Guess Who. Meanwhile, the members of Led Zeppelin, along with Bon Jovi and the Eagles, led the list of artists who were the worst.

About AC/DC, HoundsTV.com reported, "It had been more than five years since the last time they breezed through Toronto and everybody remembers how fan friendly they were back then. It was good to see things had not changed with AC/DC and they were still the same great guys in 2008. From the time they checked into their downtown Toronto hotel until boarding the bus to play the sold-out stadium gig...(the band) were signing champs and all round great guys greeting fans and collectors at every turn."

As for Zeppelin members Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, who were in Toronto on separate occasions, the site noted, "Page announced on arrival...regarding autograph requests, 'I'm kinda finished with that,' and stuck to his word. Robert Plant was equally dismissive the few times approached by collectors over the course of the couple of days he was in Toronto. By mutual agreement among many, Page and Plant were the worst rock-god signers to come though during the year."
