Holy crap. I don't know where my younger sister dug these out from but this is me Mr rocker in 1987 taking time out of my busy touring schedule to spend time with mom and sis. The California days.

[rhipsher]

Who did you tour with? (I went to lot's of concerts) Lots of bands. But the three I played with most were .
Blackstorm
Nightmare
Invicta.
We opened for
Megadeth
Testament
Flotsom and Jetsom
And King Diamond allot.
But we mostly played northern and southern California. No major European tours with those guys.

I meant the one in the middle.......;)

[Racinfan83]

Copy that! Very cool! I saw Megadeth and Testament back in the day but it would have been Midwest shows (KC, Indy)

Rick, what did you play? I was in bands back in the 80's.

Rick, what did you play? I was in bands back in the 80's. Electric guitar Mike. One instrument I've always wanted to master other than the guitar was the saxophone. It is probably the sexiest sounding instrument there is.

I was..am a bass player. Didn't tour. Played lots of clubs in Houston in early to mid 80's. Surprised we never brought that up. Usually happens even when you don't know some one was a musician.

I usually don't bring it up unless the conversation goes in that direction. It was a different time in my life long ago. At that time I was totally engulfed in the music scene and trying to get signed to a major record label. But at that time Rock/Heavy metal was transitioning into the grunge movement and I could see that unless I secured a gig with Ozzy Ratt Dokken or someone that was already there it wasn't going to happen. I was a little late to the game by 88/89. If I had gotten onto the scene in 1983/84 in Los Angeles and the sunset strip that would have been the perfect time. So I decided to move on to other interests.
