First off - great idea for an OT thread!

I was born in 1960, with two older brothers, one of whom worked in Harrods' record department in London, and who helped himself liberally to their wares....I grew up bathed in the sounds of Hendrix, Deep Purple (they played "Smoke on the Water" at my brother's funeral...), Grand Funk, Savoy Brown, Santana, Frank Zappa, UFO, Wishbone Ash, Black Sabbath, Groundhogs, Free, Yes, Pink Floyd......the first concert I ever heard was Uriah Heep in Germany, 1970...the first concert I ever saw was Yes at QPR stadium in 1974.......let's face it, nothing nowadays comes even remotely close to all of this. 

As Ted Nugent once said (Newcastle City Hall, 1978) "If it's too loud, you're too old".  Couldn't have put it better myself.

My self-build system - Vista 64 on a Kingston 240GB SSD, Asus P5Q Pro MB, Quad 6600 CPU, 8 Gb Geil Black Dragon Ram, CoolerMaster HAF932 full tower chassis, EVGA Geforce GTX 750Ti Superclocked 2 Gb, Coolermaster V8 CPU aircooler, Enermax 600W Modular PSU, 240Gb SSD, 2Tb HDD storage, 28" LCD monitor, and more red LEDs than a grown man really needs.....I built it in 2008 and can't afford a new one, yet.....!

My Software - Poser Pro 2012, Photoshop, Bryce 6 and Borderlands......"Catch a  r--i---d-----e-----!"
