@moss I was in a few at pretty much the same time I played guitar in Errander a noisy hardcore band, we always got compared to today is the day and converge. We had a album released on in at the deep end records. 

I played guitar in The Nothing that was a chuga chuga metalcore band on TDON records. 

I played guitar in Cocean that was a indie emo thing and bass in Antares that was a Dillinger Escape Plan esq tech metal band.

1979

I love this forum, I don't really post much because I'm a bit timid but it's good to be educated by all the different threads and banter. Well, my name is Gareth and I'm 35 and been playing for 12 years. I got into playing due to having loads of debt at the time and needing a cheap hobby. Hobby turned into obsession!
1. My username is just my birth year.....boring I know!
2. I'm from a little village in south Derbyshire called Linton, duck.
3. My musical ambition is to be able to work out songs by ear
4. I adore my jap Tokai Love Rock.
5. If I've got to pick one song.....Nightrain

Too busy with the gin and tabs.

My name is Richard and I used to be normal before I started to play the guitar and joined this forum...

1. My username is three initials so easy to remember but dull
2. London - south east London to be precise although now a Bromley resident
3. Honestly - to be able to play competently before its too late - age is not on my side, nor was a late start
4. 2015 LP Standard in Honeyburst with a sparkly dark perimeter
5. Probably EC's Crossroads

Q1:  Where did you username come from?

 As usual, I sign up with something on the spur of the moment as I never think I'll hang around. I should put more thought in.

North West Leicestershire after living in Thailand for 10ish years. Im soooooo glad to be back, honest......

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? 

Just to improve and enjoy playing. Im under no illusions of storming the charts or becoming a billionaire from it.

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear

Not the hardest to answer as I have 2 guitars and one amp. PRS SE Paull Allender

Impossible as it changes so often. Probably something by Metallica, Buckethead or Bob Dylans early stuff.

It's the title of the first Zeppelin bootleg I ever got (Canada Mudslide) and the year I was born.

In Staffs - although I spent the first 30 years of my life in the West Mids and still work in Birmingham so I still have a funny accent.

I don't have an absolute No1 but I'm very fond of Northern Sky by Nick Drake this week.

Hello. I joined recently and didn't realise this intro bit existed... apologies.

Q1:  Where did you username come from? It's a school nickname... the most stupid nickname ever for the most absurd reasons so I adopted it for online stuff.

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? I grew up in Norfolk but currently live in Newbury, Berkshire

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? Currently to try and keep up with the bassist and drummer I play with for as long as it takes for me to feel confident enough to gig.

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? My HW1 strat that my wife bought me to get me playing again at the age of 40.

Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Changes often but currently Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Cheers,

Mark
