2: Belfast
3: To be less rubbish at the guitar! Honestly though, at the moment it's to improve my acoustic playing.
4: Tie between my AV hot rod 52 tele (got very lucky and got an incredibly light and resonant one with a one piece body), and my 1975 Orange Reverb Twin combo.
5: Difficult one. Much as I love guitar, it's probably got to be G F Handel's Water Music Suite II
I've been here for a couple of months but I'll do this because I'm at work and I'm bored off my tits.
Q1: Where did you username come from? Name of an album by Eyehategod who are one of my favourite bands. They sound as lovely as their name suggests.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? North Hertfordshire
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? As part of a band - to write, record and get an album released on a decent record label. Also, to get a decent spot at a festival. Yes, I am a beer-glass-half-full kinda guy.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I have to say that all my gear is dispensable, but the most precious bit of kit I have is my Orange OR100. An absolute colossus.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Impossible to say. Although I guess one that has been frequently spun over the years (a lot) has been 'Junkhead' by Alice In Chains. Yep, that ought to do it.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Afternoon, thought id better post in here, as ive been lurking for a couple of weeks now. My real name is Nick (its possible you could work that out from my username. Not very imaginative I know).
Q1: Where did you username come from?
A nickname I had at school, through my teens, twenties, thirties ...you get the idea.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Essex.
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To play at least one song to an audience.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Just the one at the moment. An old Fender acoustic. This will soon be joined by an Epiphone LP in a couple of weeks.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Tricky to just pick one, but ill go with Guns n Roses - Rocket Queen
íss ok dómr
Hi everyone, first post in an intro thread, even I'm impressing myself.

UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To stop forgetting songs I've just worked out.

Ramble On, though it's getting to be more of an affliction as I get older.
I have been on here at least a year and have never done this!

Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
I used to be quite musically ambitious but now i predominantly play for fun. I do like meeting like minded musicians and jamming with them though.

It's definitely not my most expensive or rare bit of gear but my modded TS808 is getting all of the use at the moment - can't get enough of it.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Difficult! I would probably say 'threads' by this will destroy you. I could always listen to that song whatever mood i'm in.

Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
This is a seriously tough question, not sure I could pick just one album let alone one track, but if pushed I'd probably say Breaking all illusions by Dream Theater.

London, UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
Hmmm... difficult one. Play guitar in an amazing funk/fusion bigband :P.
Nah, I would love to work in the music industry helping producers and musicians in any way I could. Do something with my skills to change the situation a little bit and help to revitalize and return to this industry the relevance and glory it once had (it still has, somewhere, but it needs some improvements from my opinion).
