Welcome aboard Frisby. You are with the likeminded here. Even some humour, sometimes funny humour ;) . Your notes are interesting, I am older than you but; . My favourite album is UFO Strangers In The Night - Hard to argue against that one. Favorite Song is No Quater Led Zep - Dont know it from song title, probably heard it though (I am not a huge Zep fan). Favourite Guitarist Rory Gallagher - Good shout, I have not heard that much of him though. Best Concert The Cult - Electric tour. - Me ?; Iron Maiden on the Somewhere In Time Tour. Or Thin Lizzy on the Life Tour or Queensryche on the Operation Mindcrime Tour. Best Festival Reading 1987 - Me ? Knebworth - Deep Purple/Scorpions etc Best memory getting a backstage pass to donnington - Me ?: I am so old, you will just have to keep reading this group discussion board. Welcome
Welcome aboard. Being 38, I was born ten years earlier. Don't worry - you didn't miss a thing. It was all power cuts, Bay City Rollers and having to go to school - the telly was quite good though (Clangers, Camberwick Green, Fingerbobs etc) and there seemed to be much more custard for tea.

I posted this earlier but now that the thread is a sticky I'll post it again. I'm Mike, 40 years old, from the St. Louis area and love rock music. Favourite bands are Magnum, Thunder, Rush,Saxon, Pink Cream 69 and All About Eve. I'm recently retired from the Air Force so I've gotten to live in Italy, Germany and England where I got to be exposed to many bands that most of us Yanks would never hear about. I love talking about and finding "new" bands or music. Feel free to IM me any time.
Hi I'm Sam. I'm 22 (wish i was 10 years older as well). I'm a dj on a aor internet station, and a media production student. I want to be a sound engineer at live events when i graduate. My favourite bands are Led Zeppelin, Cream, Pink Floyd, Boston, Deep Purple, Boston, Iron Maiden,Flaming Lips, Nightwish and the stereophonics. favourite song is Ramble on by led zep.I've been subscribed to cr since May and think it's the best music mag out there. I love live music and have been going to the rock and blues festival in Derbyshire for the past 4 years running. I'm on one of the vids that Thunder filmed there. I'm always on the lookout for new bands, wolfmother being my favourite new band of the year, and check out an unsigned band called Headrush, they're pretty good. I'm hoping to meet likeminded people who love good old fashioned rock music, and hate all that indie/pop/emo crap at the moment.
I'm Jon, but my alter ego is Brother JB, host of the Rock & Roll Clubhouse on KRFC in Fort Collins, CO (and streaming worldwide at krfcfm.org) It's a freeform rock & roll program, in which I'm likely to play the Buzzcocks, Little Richard, Deep Purple, Gene Vincent and Hanoi Rocks in the same set. You can view playlists and other stuff at myspace.com/rockclubhouse
I'm 44 and originally from NYC, where I had the good fortune as a teenager to see such legends at Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers and the Ramones in their prime.
I love any kind of rock that kicks ass. Glam, punk, metal, garage rock, whatever. Also soul. I used to host the soul show on teh station and love Wilson Pickett, Otis, et. al.
My fave band of all time -- The Clash. They're also the best live band I ever saw. Fave album -- changes all the time. Right now, let's say "Raw Power" by the Stooges My current obsession - hair metal. I'm no rock snob...Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns and Cinderella put a big smile on my face. Too bad I waited until I no longer had hair to discover the glories of hair bands.
I just realised nobody posted on here to welcome you to the group. Shame on us, we are a very friendly bunch normally. look forward to chatting with you.

hey brad im from portsmouth too...altho im at uni in guildford at the moment who are ur fav bands then...planning on going to see the answer/roadstar at the wedge at the end of the month?
greetings to brad and greg. im going to see the answer/roadstar gig in a couple of weeks which will be my second time at the wedgewood rooms, i last saw danko jones and the tokyo dragons .i live in west sussex about 35 miles away and are much nearer for gigs at brighton but find it much easier to park outside the venue for free then run the gauntlet with the parking gestapo who still lurk behind bushes till 8pm bastards !.i work in brighton everyday as a service engineer and those kind chaps "just trying to make an honest living "are everywhere. the last gig i saw was thunder/roadstar in january £12 in the local ncp and no draught guinness in the event ,2.50 a bottle for that flat origianal shite. sorry rant over
hope u enjoy the gig lemmyswart i was hoping to visit home that weekend and go to the gig, but alas ive been put down for shifts at work that weekend considering going to the london gig instead, just depends on the cost
This looks like fun (though I'm not sure I qualify as being 'new' anymore)...
I am Ben. Hello.
I live in Lincoln with two women and an annoying four year old girl. They're not lesbians (at least I hope they're not because I'm supposed to be marrying one of them at some stage). I spend most of my life half-heartedly listening to meaningless conversations about make-up and clothes. It's a sort of oestrogen hell of Wife Swap, How Clean Is Your House, What Not To Wear and bewildering mood-swings. I have never seen so many hygeine products in one bathroom and I spend most of the time with Lego embedded in my knees.
As some of you may be aware, I work as an illustrator. The job basically involves sitting in front of a computer drawing silly pictures of Ozzy Osbourne. I have also accidentally become a writer. Next year I'm hoping to become a world-famous movie star as I hear the money's quite good (that is if I can get rid of the tits that have pitched up on my upper torso recently ... damn you booze, damn you!).
I haven't got an iPod because I found out the price and nearly had a stroke. I did buy a (possibly stolen) generic MP3 player off a man at the market and now see myself at the vanguard of the digital revolution having access to under 30 songs whenever the infernal machine decides it's going to work (about 27% of the time). I do own a dog, however, which is almost like owning an iPod if an iPod's principal function was shitting on my carpet and farting violently (I can't see the sales being quite so healthy if this is what iPods actually did - but it's certainly something Apple might think about for their next model).
In common with a lot of men of my age I'm obsessed with Hitler. This makes me easy to buy for when Christmas and birthdays come around though terrifically boring to talk to in a pub when I climb aboard my high-horse. Christmas is coming up again soon and I will genuinely seeth if my damned family gets me the same sort of shit they got me last year, none of which was Third Reich-related in the slightest. I don't know about you, but I'm perfectly capable of buying my own socks and underpants thankyou very much (and when I do I certainly don't buy pants with a cartoon cock poking out of the fly bearing the legend 'ANYONE FOR TENNIS?!!!!'). As an act of vengeance I have this year bought everyone I know plastic foldable vases. This will really get up my grandfather's nose because the only thing the old bastard ever wants is whiskey (actually, he looks a bit like Hitler and was once described by a relative as 'a bit of a slippery customer').
I also once convinced a girl I was seeing (and who won £100,000 on a scratchcard two days after we broke up and which I still have nightmares about) that I had coined the phrase 'lethal injection'. To be honest, the relationship never progressed much past sex.
As anyone who has done the infamous icebreaker "two truths and lie" will now know, the challenge now is to figure out which bit of Ben's intro was the lie.
