Thought I'd share this throwback from a time when I wore my hair much longer. It is NOT a perm, believe it or not, it's just curly. I've got the full on "kentucky waterfall" as they call it

If you have some semi embarassing hair pix, please share!!

You look like you were on your way to a Lynyrd Skynyrd performance. You probably are too young for that though, maybe it was a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band performance.

This is circa 1995, my first guitar teacher's flat.

That's not a perm either, my hair just grows like that

Hahahahah, yeah Could have easily been on the roadie crew for skynard with that hair




I used to get asked all the time "who perms your hair" hehehehe.

This is me when I was younger.

one which should have been kept in that house on the hill.

This is a screen shot still from an ancient video.
Probably 1992 at a bar/restaurant/brewery in dntn Los Angeles called Gorky's. It was very cool 24-hour place that I played at every Sat. nite for almost two years. I still have that guitar and amp (which you can't see - Mesa Boogie .22 caliber).

Fake news

This is from the mid 90's. We were performing (AK Raw ) at the Mat-Su Resort in Wasilla AK which is on the shore of Wasilla lake. I had just got done wakeboarding and went into the club to finish setting up the stage. My ring finger on my fret hand is wrapped in tape because I whacked my finger putting up a banner earlier that day. I bled all over my guitar that night. The show must go on!

Now youre talking That is serious hair!!!




I wasn't going to say anything But it looks like the cat's out of the bag, Lindsey Buckingham is here on GMC




That first pic is a doozie!! That hair!! Those clothes!! If we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at ? It was the 80's after all. Ahh the 80s When fashion lost it's mind and hair followed suit. You did mention that this was from the mid 90s though? Was that a typo? it sure looks like you were dressed for the mall circa 1984.

I'll have to dig up some more of my own pics. This is my fave thread currently running

Hahaha! Nah I had just got done wakeboarding and I am still wearing my drysuit. I think the picture is from 93 or 94. I rented a small house at the time on the same lake, so I could actually show up for the gig in my boat.
I was a bit crazy back then , still am I guess.

That dry suit makes the perfect hair metal outfit! I'm suprised more folks didn't wear them on stage! It's like early Dokken or something You still have it? It's very baggy, not like a "wet suit". Looks like parachute pants! Swear it would be worth a retro fortune on ebay!

That suit was probably made in the 80's! (It was a Mobbys drysuit, very California at the time ) Someone gave it to me. Probably the HO watersports rep that caught me ripping up his waterski course bouys on a waverunner one day and waved me over to his dock to chew me out so I thought. But instead got me hooked on kneeboarding, then wakeboarding and then the Airchair and Skyski. He even got me started as a rep for Hyperlight wakeboards which is part of HO watersports. I don't have the suit anymore, I passed it on to someone else.

I would have worn it onstage myself given the chance at the time I was too busy growing my mullet to notice much else!

And a fine mullet it was! I don't know man, you may have melted in that thing under some stage lighting, or filled the suit with sweat. I think it would be like wearing a big full length coat on stage.

Good point! It looks fun but under the lights it would probably cook you alive, especially in Georgia. I usually just wore jeans and T shirt. Not exactly breaking ground, but gigging is almost like construction work imho. Lots of moving heavy things and building your rigs/drums, then wait, one hour of fun (playing/lunch at site)

So construction attire worked

It was indeed!! I was going out with a Hairdresser at the time so at least that saved me a lot of money on dye!!!

Jeans and a t-shirt was my attire as well, but modified and finished with a pair of snakeskin cowboy boots. This thread got me pouring through old pictures today. Here are some more shots. Lots of great memories!

The first 3 shots are from The Day on the Green at the Parkstrip in Anchorage AK.

The next 3 where taken at the North stage of Chilkoot Charlies (Or simply "Koots") in Anchorage AK. At the time, the North stage is where you wanted to play because that is where Sal had his PA set up and was running the console. He was arguably the best guy in the state to have for live performances back then.

The Stone Washed, ripped up Jeans are a true 80's classic to be sure But you said these were from the 90's? I must say they could all pass for mid/late 80's band pix. I should have moved to alaska in the 90s it seems I just despised the grunge fashion thing that happened in the 90s. The true low point was watching Warrant wear lumberjack shirts.

Well, Alaska lags behind the rest of the country in many aspects. Fashion trends included I guess. Or maybe it was just me.
Those pics from the day on the green could be from the summer of 92' I suppose, but no earlier than that.
