No, not kidding. Yip, I stepped out of my house once or twice! ;)

I found Aberdeen pretty hard to settle in, to be honest. I worked (& stayed) quite a lot away from home with work, so didn't really experience Aberdeen enough to settle in well for the first couple of years I was there. But, eventually I grew to quite like the place, bought a flat, etc. When I left, I left behind some good friends.

I didn't drink at the Moorings, no. Tended to go to the casino, as we could get in late, drink 'til six in the morning, that sort of thing! :p

Didn't see any local bands at all; in fact didn't even see Maiden in Aberdeen when they played. I went with friends to the Glasgow (2011) gig instead. I should just have gone to both.

That's what I did ;)

I was wondering if we might ever have crossed paths but it would appear that we probably didn't... I know a few folk from Glasgow who have found it tough to settle up here. Aberdonians can seem a bit cold to outsiders I think. Actually they're quite friendly, but I think they like to suss you out before they speak to you. (I say "them"... I was born here, but grew up in a wee village about 30 miles away called Auchenblae. Got English parents too, for my sins... I don't really count myself as a true Aberdonian. I'm more of a country loon really).

Where was your flat?
 
Hammersmith odeon, 1986, Somewhere on tour. I was 15 yrs old. Tickets cost £6.70 and it was the best night of my life. Nothing comes even close.

It's shocking they never filmed these shows and released them.
 
World Slavery Tour Buffalo,NY the show right before Rock in Rio. My mom made my big brother take me with him, I was twelve. Twisted Sister was supposed to open but Dees voice caused them to cancel and Tallas opened instead. Local band featuring Billy Sheehan.
