One time Adam Jones of Tool came out an hour or two before a concert and started talking with the fans while he warmed up. I wasn't there but I guess that's evidence that the big guys really do like conencting with their fans.

I agree. When I saw Pearl Jam, there was a lot of crowd interaction. People got brought on stage if it was their birthday. Someone had a Ramones shirt, so they played a couple of Ramones covers. Eddie Vedder told some story about his past drug problems and thanked the crowd for helping him stay clean.

Stuff like that is more impactful to me than getting the equivalent of a tweet or a free drink like the author mentions.
