Disclaimer: We can't confirm 100% of these stories, but some of these people are supposedly speaking from their own experiences as bodyguards for famous people.

"I do want to say, it is extremely important to never judge celebrities or make assumptions about them or what they do because they totally can (and many totally do) lose their minds with the exorbitant amount of fame and excess they are exposed to."

"You'd think it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I had never done anything like that before. I actually had to shove girls out of the way, which I felt conflicted about doing. It was really hectic. They were probably drunk, I don't know. But yeah, I didn't get to personally meet Frankie, but from what I could tell, he was a really cool guy."

"I went to get them, but the stage manager was already shoving them out, and then proceeded to scream at me. I tried to explain that I was checking the passes, but they just barged in, and he kept berating me.ย 

Gene Simmons came to the door and said, 'It's okay, don't worry.' The guys were long gone, but the SM sent me to a different post outside Paul Stanley's room instead. He was an awesome dude. We chatted for a couple of minutes about a fantasy novel I was reading. So, the band was awesome (the SM not so much)."

"The security guard responded, 'I'm not risking MY guys just so you can make a political grandstand for the election.' We later asked him who the worst person to deal with was. He looked back at his PowerPoint picture of McCain, smiled, and said, 'Oh, nobody is really that bad...'"

"The thing that caught me off guard was the fact that he didnโ€™t like swearing. He was constantly making jokes from the back and asked me to sit in the green room and take a break. I ended up staying an extra hour at the convention just to hear him speak about his experiences and answer fan questions."
