The 80's metalheads picture thread lol

[Gainfreak]

Here are some live shots of me from the 80s that I scanned to show some Charvel freaks my old '85 Jack Daniels Graphic San Dimas. This was my main stage guitar in the '80s. I had already changed the pickup and put a Floyd in place of the Kahler, but you can see I kept the Kahler nut. These pictures are from different shows and I believe are the Roxy in LA, but they could be the Water club as well... You can also see how my rig changed when we got sponsored by Duncan, but my main head was still a Jose Arredondo modded JCM 800... Anyway, have a laugh at the outfit (Just try to tell me you didn't wear worse!!!), but enjoy the guitar! I included the last pic, just 'cause I dig the shot. Boy was it loud at that point...

Steve

Degenero = Vito Bratta?


I turned 8 y/o in Nov '89.

I got screwed, man

At least the 90's were better than the 00's.

It's the Michael Wagener thing...he made every body record with those Steinbergers. I actually still have it.
Moved to LA from Germany in 87 when I was 23.
Also still have this 'berger...

Not quite, but my early 90s Eurythmics look comes close...

Ok... I'll play. Not the 80s... cause I was in HS then and not playing shows. Here's one from the 90s from my long hair days... some day's I wish I would have stuck it out. It was much easier to deal with than short hair, IMO.

 

[Gainfreak]
