Never had the greatest barnet but at least I had some back then, I was 24 then and it had just started to go. That's what happens when you join the Fire Brigade and the helmet rubs it all away, what a bastard eh. Watch out Skez, when I was your age I had hair just like your's and now I'm a fully fledged member of the slaphead club, you never know you might be a memebr one day, LOL

Hey Gaz

I am keeping my hair which am pleased about, but I am getting a little wider than I was a few years ago However I remember when we met you are still quiet lean, I guess thats the benefit of working for the fire service

Yeah, working as a Fireman doeas help, we get to use the gym regularly. I ran the London Marathon in April so training for that definatley keeps you lean. I'm hoping to keep the training going 'cos I fancy having another go at it next year, and hopefully beat my time. It also helps when I'm down the front in the pit at concerts, it gets pretty rough down there sometimes.

Hey Gaz, nice pictures!
I like seeing Zakk in his "pre" lumberjack stage.
Like the poster, too. Great that you got to do that.

What Sarab said. Awesome pics. I really like the first one since I always heard about the Hammersmith Odeon but had no idea what it looked like.

I was thinking the same thing back in '89. I'd heard of the Hammersmith Odeon, but I had no idea what it looked like, it was sorta legendary really,(in my mind at least), all the big bands of the 70's and 80's played there. I remember thinking it was smaller than I'd imagined it to be, but its a great venue, larger than the average City Hall but no where near as cavernous as the an Arena.
I remember getting off the train that morning in London not having a clue where I was going, I think I had to get a couple of tubes and asked several people where to go, I hadn't been to London for years before that, it was like another world to me.
Its had a bit of a facelift since then and is now known as The Carling Hammersmith Apollo I believe, but it will always be Hammersmith Odeon to me.
