You guys are all much younger than me - I was 52 last month, but I was still at TO's last 2 gigs enjoying myself.  

Phil's being modest. He didn't mention that the gigs were back to back, both Friday and Saturday night, that Friday's gig was after a long work day, and that one of em required about 6 hrs of driving! Plus, all that drinking! I got back to Phil's place at about 1.45am this morning, and we stayed up till about 3am drinking Young's (well, I had Young's and Phil stuck with the ole Sammy Smith).

Phil can hang with the best of em. No sleep till death, right, Phil?!

Me, I'm 36, loud and proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel a bit  out of my league here at 17.

I think that this site is great because there is so much knowledge to be learned from a young guy like me. Especially because I want to be some sort of Sound Engineer/Electrical Engineer, so I need all the help I can get!

40 years old, but I don't look a day over 39 :wink:

DISCLAIMER: I'm still officially NOT a Bare Knuckler, 'cause the Black Dog set I ordered was shipped to the wrong address, so they were sent back to the UK. Then they were reshipped to the correct address. Then I had to send them back because they got the order wrong (I ordered 1 covered and 1 uncovered, but they covered the wrong one.) So I'm still waiting. :evil:

Well, I'm gonna turn 33 on this Thursday Oct 12th and I feel that everything is just about turning around for me.

I've had a pretty challenging period of self-discovery over the last decade and you know what... I've come full circle and realised that the attitude I had at 17 was spot on.

With that frame of mind and a few new tricks picked up in the interviening years I'm about ready to "rock hard!!" for the next couple of decades at least.

Here's to you guys - all my spiritual bros on this forum who know the value of...

A '53 Goldtop with Black Dogs?  Nice!  What muppet ripped out the original P-90s and re-routed it though  :(

Just had a quick browse of the Vintage and Rare site, and I can have either a Gibson Lucille, or a Fender MIJ 12 String Strat...Hmm :lol:


Now a Lucille sounds like a pretty classy choice to me :)


:lol: That was my first thought - and cheaper than a new one 8) Good condition considering the age, too.

The problem comes with me not having £1450 though :lol:

18th next May, and my Dad reckons a guitar the same age as me would be quite a cool present after I mentioned it yesterday (but he hasn't seen the price tag yet) so I might take him round some shops and have a look if there's anything around nearer the time :)

You don't feel much different in your head, though, do you?  It's only when you look in the mirror that the full horror hits you...

Shoot, the horror's been hitting me when I look in the mirror all my life! ;)

Me, I just turned 35 last month.  And, yeah, my body knows it's not 13 anymore, but my head is pretty oblivious to this. :)  I used to think there was some point at which people started to feel like "proper adults", or some event that made them feel that way, but increasingly my research suggests that everyone who seems like a "proper adult" is really just faking it. :)

I totally agree with that....

I still feel like I'm faking the whole adult thing and I'm still as randy as a dog with two dicks.. :?  :P
