58 years old been a rock lover all my life, picked up a guitsr for the first time 8 months ago and have been feeling the pain and frustration ever since :) but i love it.

Still attend lots of gigs and festivals, saw The Cure last night and will be seeing Springsteen, Bloc Party and attending the V Festival this year.

I like punk, blues and rock

My favourite bands are Primal Scream, Muse, Green Day, Offspring and Weller, not really into metal but really like System of a Down

Hello - another Londoner! Which part of London do you live in? I'm in East Finchley.

Anyways, welcome to The Fret!

Hi Mage, I live in Chadwell Heath, near to Romford. I know your area quite well as my job as surveyor takes me all over North London

My flatmate is from around that area. I've never been that far east yet, myself. London's a big place though. . . Especially for an American from Somerset :D

Welcome!

I'm a longtime Modfather fan. You don't hear about Weller as much in the States as you do in the UK.

Ok, I know, bad English accent:spank:!

Any way, welcome from a fellow beginner in Seatlle, Washington, USA.

You and I have some similar musical interests. Cool!:dude:
