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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great thread! 

 

Marquee.jpg.899ac0aa78cb69f87751b159258dab4d.jpg

 

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)

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
