[Closed] How 'Rock and Roll' are you?

Been to 2 gigs this week (Royal Blood/At the drive in & QOTSA). After 3 hours of standing at the first gig I was so glad to have seats for the following night.

And at almost 11pm tonight (much to the disgust of my wife) I had cheese cake and chocolate ice cream. It was verging on class A.

Im so rock and roll I can do starjumps to the tunes of Bill Haley on the foc`sle of an Icelandic trawler in a force 12 !

This may actually come in handy if I become a mercenary trawlerman in the future cod wars !

Did I mention I'm in a band? 😉

I've got tickets for the Britrock must be destroyed! tour featuring The Wildhearts, Terrorvision & Reef,
As have I. \m/

And me

It's 5am and rather than lying in bed grumbling about not being able to sleep I got up and made an early start. I might have a nap later to catch up. I may have a couple of beers this evening. You know what you can do if you don't like it.

Up early and on the road to catch some surf!

That’s how I roll ..

Never stopped listing to rock n metal but I cant headbang anymore , my arthritis wont let me .

Well, I was, for a long time, but stopped all that malarky after the weekends caught up with me in my forties after stopping being a rock drummer and getting a proper job.

Since I've retired however, there's an opportunity to indulge in an echo of my past next April in Germany. I've bought a kit and I'm getting my skill chops together after a 30 year long interruption.

I wonder if "backstage" is what it used to be? (Flexes nostrils, orders viagra...) 😯

Used to be ..not anymore ..
Still love rock music ..saw just about all the major rock bands of the 70's/ 80's ..made a good living as a record company rep and then as one of 4 regional sales & merchandising managers in the UK .
Have gold & silver records hanging on my office wall for contribution to UK sales ..been to Sony & EMI end of conference bashes ( Saw Radiohead before they broke big ) ..saw the very last Pink Floyd gig as a VIP guest on the Division Bell Tour ( hospitality 'tent' access )..in October '94..
These days I'm tucked up in bed by 10.00pm..and don't visit pubs anymore ..have maybe a couple of beers 2 or 3 times a week..used to smoke but gave up 14+ years ago the day my son got christened and have never done drugs . ..still get to the occasional gig ..the last one being a small scale event in the Cumberland Arms, Newcastle with all my MTB mates a couple of weeks ago to see another of our biking mates (Nikk )perform as support act to Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds a group that started out as a 70's Punk band and are still going strong and writing their own material ..
A pic from that night ..some of us still have our own hair !
