I'm fairly old, fairly ugly and I play guitar for The Sweet Zeros. I used to play guitar and sing for Best Left Dead.
I ride motorbikes. Rather, I now ride a big Scooter (Gilera Nexus 500) because riding Harleys like I did for 16 years hurts my bad knee a lot now. No, it isn't a come-down, no I don't miss riding a Harley, and yes it is the most fun bike I've ever had, so there.
I am a self employed electrician. I used to be employed and worked my way up to be a Senior Manager with a well known company. To cut a long story short I can't abide arseholes who abuse their power. I also like sticking up for the "little guy". Let's just say I left said company acrimoniously. It cost them a lot of money!
I'm married, happily, and have been for many years now. I have two kids. They are both better looking and more intelligent than I am already. My wife is a Saint, literally!
After dealing in guitars for a few years, playing and fixing 'em for many more before that, I now only have the 3. A Gibson Gothic Flying V, a Gibson Les Paul Studio Plus (early 90s)that cost me £100 and "Phoenix The Stealth Bomber" a matte black Tele/Les Paul kind of hybrid. My live rig is solid state. I hate valves through past experience. Valves belong in recording studios and museums!
I'm one quarter French, three quarters English. I like my French side. I like the French attitude a lot!
I come in for a lot of stick because of my hair, particularly my white streaks and asked why I don't dye it all black. Well, I figure that I've survived to the age I am so I've earned this colour, I'll wear it like a campaign medal thank you very much!
