No Fat on a Turkey - 6th August 1991

The day I first picked up a Bass!

You got in a band on the first day?

Usually takes a week😆

[BigRedX]

Here's a selection:

 

1978 Playing my home-made electric balalaika:

 

1982 Playing bass:

 

1985 Playing Synth:

 

1997 Playing bass:

 

2000 Playing guitar:

 

I don't consider any of the later ones to be "old" enough but if you want I can dig out some Terrortones photos...

[fleabag]

Weirdly, in the '78 photo you look like a bloke and yet in the '82 photo you look like a schoolboy.  Thats a great trick for staying young

 

Ps love that classic Overwater. I've had 2 of those - a single pup and a twin pup.

[Leonard Smalls]

At Tramlines Festival in Sheffield with my 1st band (Dredd and the Badass Weeds) - formed in 1983. This was more like 2014 though, complete with dancer Sister Bez and Parker PB51 bass. There's a a clip of this gig on YouTube... It was during our ecclesiastical phase!

Wildlife at The Moonstone, Liverpool about 1975.

Early 90s with ‘Scream’ and early/mid 00s with Double Cross. Good times. Still got the jazz bass and bassmaster funk. (Albeit in need of repair!)

Do cartoons count?

My first pic when I was in 'The Freak Bros', from a review in the Exeter 'Flying Post' following a gig in town in 1978, that's me next to the congas (good likeness too!). For the geeks, that's an Eros jazz copy.

[knirirr]

Old band photos are in short supply, but here are a couple from some time probably around 1993 (can't remember exactly) which I had previously posted on Guitarchat. It wasn't long after these were taken that I realised I was playing the wrong instrument.

 

 

[mep]

Dug a few more out.

These first lot are from the early 90's when I lived in Hong Kong and was involved in quite a few bands. Great fun and memories. Apologies for the mullet content! The last 2 are from the mid 90's when I came back to the UK.

Jo Burt on a train 

Hollywood Killers at 100

club (2012)

The Times in Germany (‘85)

First ever band no name (1977)

 

 

Hollywood Killers rang a bell @oldslapper, I know a guitarist who has played with the HK singer in recent years... he's down 'ere in Wiltshire!

[Cat Burrito]

Great thread! 

 

 

Onstage at The Marquee in the early 90s. That Jazz was also used on a Total Guitar session that was included in Issue 10. 

 

 

Same band maxing out our "leaning against a wall skills" (second left)

 

 

The Ex-Boyfriends backstage at Caeser's Palace in Luton - I've discovered the early Manic Street Preachers! (second left again)

 

 

Insert from a German punk CD released in the 90s.

Proper rock'n'roll here - probably 1988ish at the King's Head, Fulham...

Are you sure the drummer can hear the guitar?

[mep]

Another one from me. In 2005 I returned to Hong Kong for a holiday and met up with some old muso buddies in my old haunt The Wanch in Wan Chai for some jamming.

Torquemada 1981 probably my first proper gig with a decent rock / prog covers band. Using an Aria SB1000

 

Gypsies Kiss circa 1986 doing original rock with a few covers of ZZ Top, AC/DC and Free. Using my Fender 80's Jazz

 

Georges Kitchen circa 1988 doing originals with a few covers. Quite a varied style including this image of us doing Pink Floyd Time. I remember that cause i triggered the smoke machine for the beginning. Drummer had a Simmonds electronic kit altho you cant see it in this pic and guitarist had the Roland guitar synth. Great fun band. I'm using my Yamaha BX-1 bass.

 

Another George's Kitchen circa 88 just to show the drummer existed LOL

Stormbringer 2012 a tribute to Deep Purple & friends doing DP songs plus any band that had a link to DP like Rainbow, Sabbath (i know but Dio sang with Rainbow who had a link to DP.......😂)
