Thought you guys might get a kick out of these pics. These are from a HS dance in 1977 ! My Ibanez Destroyer was brand new and Uwe as you can see I have already started modding it. Dimarzio P and a Eb3 treble pup ................. no Badass yet. LOL. I still have the bass but not the hair LMAO (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/scottjade11.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/scottjade9.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/scottjade6.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/jadelineup2.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/scottjade8.jpg)

Ah yes, nothing like the impressive backline of folded gym seating! ;D Whenever I see pics like these (and I have plenty of my own), I think of one of my favorite films - Ron Howard's directorial debut, "Cotton Candy".

Ok I'll play! Great pictures Scott. You haven't changed a bit! ;) Here's me from 1966. Ignore the cheesy bass and outfits! Both my band mates played Gibson SGs.

I don't have any pictures online from the eighties (yet).
But I have found some old pics from about ten years ago:

I bet you wish you still had that Jazz Bass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You bet your ass I wish I did!!!!!!! CAR with matching headstock, 1963! Sold it when I got married the first time in 1972. Should have kept the bass and dropped the first marriage idea! Live and learn. :-[

My first band in High School & my brand new Grabber, playing Thin Lizzy & Rush covers
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/Fenderbird/Musicians/newgrabber.jpg)
In 78, traded the Grabber in for a new RD Artist I had to order, went to college, grew a mustache!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/Fenderbird/Musicians/newrd.jpg)
Then played out for about five years in various prog bands, many times doing two hour shows with that tank!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/Fenderbird/Musicians/barklesslive.jpg)
We split ways as I was going to get a real job and moved to Chicago! Our bands guitarist & drummer moved to London and recorded with David Cross, including the Sony release "Exiles" with Fripp, Wetton, Peter Hammil etc

I found another old bandpic. The band was called Lager Frenzy. I think this was shot in 1990. I'm the one drinking cold tea...

BTW, Rob - Earthshaker on vinyl - good one!

We had a rough time using our promo shot in 1979. There were sugar packets on the table, so we improvised. We were also being trailed by the Hyatt Regency security folks on our photo shoot. Our singer, we later found out, would have been in a little trouble. His brother was a Chicago cop, though.

And circa 2008 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/2237659070083345702mPBPbc_ph.jpg)

I guess I need to dig out some old pictures... Great thread, Scott!
-
Nice George!
I had no idea! That's awesome. I don't currently have a scanner so I'll need work getting some pics from my younger ( normal?) days posted, meantime it's a great thread :thumbsup:

The one thing I notice about this picture is how much I am enjoying myself ! I am clearly having fun. I am greatful to be able to still do this at 49 and that it still holds it's fascination. Sure there are the long drives, drunks, lousy soundmen, crooked club owners and very little money. It is still the most fun I can have with my cloths on !

Me and some bandmates back in the day..................
God how I loved the 80's!

I had to add this pic of me when I really did have some hair and ................yeah, that's my 1969 Caddy too.............2 1/2 tons of car, it was like driving around in my own living room.

Hey! I still have EARTHSHAKER on vinyl.
I still have THREE copies of their first album (one of my faves), "Yesterday and Today" on vinyl - two promos and one still sealed!
-
I still have all my vinyl records.
The hair is gone though...
-
So you wanna talk hair?? OK, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this........the first one is circa 1976, the other one is my promo shot from the show band days, this one from 1981. That was a heavy-ass Precision parts bass w/DiMarzios and mirror PG, was fretless when I got it, bought the neck shown here from Charley Wirz himself. Great bass.
