At least that wasn't you with the "Testes/Sack-o-caster".  Or was it??

No, the Olan Mills pic.
Circa 1983.

Not sure how to navigate that slide show - the link seems to go to the guy holding a bunch of Rock Band guitar controllers. You are kidding though, right?

LOL I was just messin'.  I have family portrait stuff from Olan Mills from the same year!  They were the classier Glamour Shots of the vintage.  :tard:

I knew you were, no worries.  I still laugh in the midst of my cringing when I look at this at 50, what I did at 17.

Some of those are just waaaaayyyyy beyond imaginable though.

Man I'm glad the majority of my pics were lost in the flood!  Would be amazing to see em for old time's sake.

Well I still don't know which one is you, TFS. I think you'd better just post it here.

Here's one of my band from a few years later - about '89 I think. Not sure awkward is the right word.

I have to take responsibility for the 'creative' aspects of the photo too.

I'm gonna say dude in yellow was the bass player and dude in black was the drummer

No drummer at this point.  Drum Machines weren't affordable yet, so I had a cassette with 10 drum patterns at pre-set tempos, and 4 minutes each.  Sometimes I would make a custom tape to arrange patterns according to our songs.

Yellow on Left.  Vocals
Top in black, Vocals and some acoustic guitar
Me on the right, Gtr & vox
Jap shirt on bottom, bass & vox.

These are all so cool!  Trips down memory lane.  Man, if we only knew then what we knew now. 

By the way, the article was by a Robert DeSalvo.  Any relation, Frank?  :laughing7:

If we only knew then what we know now.  And Fat Pete, I dig that picture!

Here was me back around 1992.  Since we all are guitar nerds, the shirt was a cut-up Vixen concert T.

Well, I guess so, while I was trying to look like the Karate Kid...

The "family picture pose", because that's what they know how to do is sooooooo Napoleon Dynamite.
