CHM picture thread!

On a cold December morning!
Yes, the sky may be blue, but the temperature was freeeeeeeezing!



Looking rather serious (and contemplating restyling my hair...........



After the restyling!

I sure hope you didn't pay for that restyle.
If so you might wanna get your money back.

Man, you're just a young pup.

I'm 33, but the bottom two pics were taken when I was 31, and I've lost a bit of weight since then....

I'm going grey too!!!

:shock:

Fundy

Grey too?
What's giving you those grey hairs?
Can't imagine that the music is giving you grey hair.
Maybe the pic with the yellow hair LOL
Great pictures Fundy.

How come no one else is putting up pics???

OK, I will... if I can figure out how...
Here goes...

The "BatCave"



At Home

Wow cool pics of both TT and Sabidoo pounding the skins.

Nice to see a pic of Sabidoo in the "Batcave".

TT, what does it say on your bass drum Jesus....(something)? cant seem to see the rest.

I've traded my acoustic for an electric guitar and have to say it's much cooler to play electric.
I try to be a great guitar player, but with some things I really struggle.
special in the beginning all you have to do is practice and practice and don't give it up. That's what I try.
Sometimes it's really difficult.

You guys are great musicians and play in bands.
God has given me an other gift.
The gift to make flower arrangings.
These pics are older, but I can post some new things I've made.

Cool pictures Sabidoo and Tall Tyrion.
You have played in some other states too Sabidoo.
Your truck is cool and big.

Cool pics, Yvonne and Sabidoo! First time I've seen either one of you.

It says "Jesus Is Lord". The bottom is obscured because I had a heavy
spool of wire in front of it so the bass drum would not walk while I
was playing.

Cool pics Vonnie, I love the one with the "rock star" wig.

I have almost no pictures of me playing with the band, but we are doing an outreach concert this summer, so maybe I can get someone to take some then.

Probably a really good idea. Our drummer puts a large mat down that has a stop for his bass drum, then everything else (including him) sits on the mat.

It seems bass drums can walk
Sabidoo do you have a "walking bass drum" too?

No, I always used a set of spurs on the front of my kick to hold it in place.

The most wonderful woman on earth... and me



The FUNNEST concert I ever went to... ApologetiX invited the largest groups on stage and my group (at 12 people) was the largest there. (That's me in the yellowish shirt)

Since everyone's posting there musician pix, I dusted off my bands pix from the 80s (Warning: I was NOT saved yet)
This is "No Remorse"-


The DORK in the back trying to look "bad" is me.

Two members faded away, and we ended up with a 3 man band:

DIG THOSE 80s MIRRORED COP SHADES !!!!

No Remorse had a sound similar to Minor Threat with some Metallica riffs.

Those were fun days, but without Christ they were meaningless.

YEAH MAN!!! From the shirts, I was guessing you guys had a punk vibe. I love that style. Other than The Crucified and the first OBP album, not too many in the Christian scene ever really captured the raw feel of the true stuff.

Amen to that, but no reason why you can't sanctify that, right?

"Grab your bass and come back out to the garage, BRUTHA!"

Great pix Apfreak, love those old band pictures.
Maybe I should try to find some of my old band shots.

AMEN!

We had recordings on cassettes of some of our "songs".

When I accepted Christ about a year after those pix, I had burned all my secular music, mags, posters, etc.... and my "No Remorse" tape.

I have no regrets for my offer to the Lord of all the secular trash, and would do it again in a heartbeat... but I sometimes wish I woulda kept the NR tape.
It was kinda comedy. We were trying to be all serious, but we knew there was only one band member that had any true talent... the lead guitarist Eddie (the one sticking his tongue out). The rest of us were wanabees.
It sure was fun though... we made our neighbors crazy !

ahhhh, if only...

Yeah, we favored Minor Threat with influences from The Descendents, TSOL, Raw Power, Suicidal Tend, DRI... and we liked stop and start again riffs like early Metallica / Megadeth stuff.

Too bad we didn't have more ability.

Original Lineup:
Jim -bass, rhythm, vox
Eddie -Lead guitar
John -Drums
Dylan -rhythm, lead (in front)

Dylan was shot and killed about 3 years after that pic. A crazed guy on heroin "saw a demon flying around" so he chased it all the way to where Dylan was on the side of the road fixing his car. The guy "saw the demon fly into Dylan" and he shot him in the back of the head.
Needless to say I was devastated. and as a new Christian I beat myself up for not witnessing to him more before that happened.

Second Lineup:
Jason -Lead vox
Eddie -Lead guitar
Jim -Bass

Not sure where Eddie is today, but Jason quit using when he accepted Christ around 4 years after the picture. I got to help him burn all his paraphenalia and cruddy music.

Wild times.

Youth is wasted on the young....
