Plus, abusing Am can get you arrested! ?

Bapu has a posting fetish! ?

That was pretty good, but I could only make it through the first five minutes... ?

That hair though!

AC/DC - Shot Down In Flames (Pink Floyd was the obvious choice; next time!)

Well, there's the river Styx... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styx And that band that used that name! I find it hard to believe you haven't heard of a band as popular as Styx was. Here's one of their albums.

Um, my friend, August, plays the part of Tommy Shaw in his band? Among other cover bands he was in (like Smokin' the only Boston tribute band at the time; Brad Delp was a fan), he was in Grand Illusion which was a Styx tribute band. He and his bandmates were VERY good! (And August was a graduate of GIT, or Guitar Institute Tech, kind of like a Juliard school for guitarists.) One of the guitars that can be seen in some of the videos (a Music Man) used to belong to me and he's got some other gear of mine too! THAT'S how I know about this! ?

I'm a bit of the opposite. Instead of using pharmaceuticals to make my ADHD tolerable to everyone around me (while causing me to be zoned out) I was introduced to computers when I was 7 by a very wise school principal. This has helped me be able to do several things at once productively and it's actually far more difficult for me to get into "the zone" unless multiple things are going on around me. I don't miss much either! Besides making me very good in games (especially video games), this is part of what had me approved to go to the Naval Academy in Annapolis to fly F-14's. Fortunately, I grew too tall (6' 2" is the maximum, but someone really short, like Tom Cruise size, is the best). I'm 6' 4". Ironically, I ended up working for a defense contractor right across the street from the Miramar Naval Air Base where and when they were filming Top Gun. That said, indiscriminately killing people from thousands of feet in the air would definitely be against my current life views! Heck, I've got cups and cards stationed around the house to capture bugs and release them outdoors (mosquitos do NOT get this favor! ?).

Joe Satriani - Summer Song

What's weird is that this thread had to be "approved" by a moderator before it would show! Um, why??? ? Posting ends need intervention supervision?

Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia My Reflection

Tyler worked in a theater and would splice in X-rated blips into the movies he would play.

Pete Best? The Gingerbread Man? ? Oh, wait... Wrong band. My bad. ?

Usually Dennis DeYoung ...and the Music of Styx. http://www.dennisdeyoung.com/band-members/

Tyler Durden? ?

Lots of familiar sites in those pics for me Larry! (I was born in San Diego, moved up to Orange County and also owned ten properties down in Mexico. 40 years of those scenes...) Too bad you only took a couple of pictures though... ?

Been listening to his discography all morning and tried his old site which is no longer active. Was just curious if anyone in the UK (I believe he was in the Blackpool area?) had kept in touch with him. He didn't come over to the new forums...

Do you need 12 locks too? ?

I just asked ChatGPT and it said yes. ?

Were these made for the band Garbage? ?

And Tom Cruised!

'Tis why my friend's relatively new band is called Waiting For Monday (August is the guitarist and backup singer pictured on the right - he's also the one who plays as Tommy Shaw in Dennis DeYoung's band).

But neither could compare to Yngwie! My friend in Hollywood was having a band practice in one of the studios there that featured thick concrete walls and yet, Yngwie was practicing in the next studio over and they couldn't hear in theirs! ?
