    Default Hello from London

    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

    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

    Welcome!

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