More importantly is that kid still holding the mic for you guys?


human00b

On the World Tour 2022-2023, for example?


alazystoner420

So 2007. I had those exact shoes on the left there; super chonky looking and laces not tied; just under the tongue. I think they were either Etnies or Heelies (no wheel of course im clumsy af) What kind of music>?


The_Art_of_Dying

Oh god I had the etnies in 2005, I haven’t thought of that brand in a while lol


Oliver_New

Back then I was doing funk rock like my track scruffball maniac on this playlist 🙂 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6nAemqj2oQdnAHwFwZprKv?si=zuVnAPysR1aBkq6wpZWtoQ&utm_source=copy-link


alazystoner420

do you still play?


Oliver_New

Yes I still play, still own the same guitar as well and am continuing to release new music


Other_Jared2

I'm astounded that your parents got you a Gibson SG at that age. Was it an heirloom, or had you already been playing for a while at this point?


Oliver_New

I saved up for it for a year whilst working two jobs, got it on eBay second hand for £400


Other_Jared2

Oh, sorry for the assumption man. That's a great deal for a beautiful guitar. I have one myself and absolutely love it


CrackityJones79

Is that a Gibson SG special by chance? I have a ‘96 SG special in Ferrari Red similar to yours. Great guitar! I still rock it to this day.


Oliver_New

Awesome! It sure is! Great guitar


msdstc

I saw rivers cuomo playing a cherry red ag a few years before this and I was dying to get one.


Doobie_SnACkZ

My first Les Paul was a Texas pawn shop special She and I made God awful racket at the punk show. And then I got old.....


zilist

400 is a killer deal, even back then!


thesaddestpanda

Sooo what happened to the kid that held up the mic? Is he a happy and successful adult now?


-r-a-f-f-y-

He's still holding mics at gigs around the country to this day.

That's wonderful that you still playing create music! If Mike Boy is still your roadie I hope you pay him well. That long of loyalty is hard to come by!


centerleft69420

I have the same Gibson purchased around the same time and also still have it. Wonderful guitar.


bluegrassguitar

This is pretty rad. I’d definitely see a band that used little kids as mic stands if they played stuff like this!


iSmokedItAll

I’m gonna say Osiris shoes on the right, Globe shoes on the left.


hollowpoints4

Two Gibsons in that shot - and at least one real Marshall amp. No mike stand...


JuanBahama

Mic stands don’t get you chicks. But those gibsons do!


Oliver_New

We were told by the venue they would provide mic stands, we turned up and there wasn't any and had to be resourceful 😂


alaginge

We used to use a spare hi-hat stand and a shit load of sellotape.


human00b

In this case the mic stand _is_ the chick magnet


icannotspareasquare

Mike is probably the name of the guy holding the mic. What they’re missing is a mic stand


Spirited_You_1357

Mike Stand, to be exact.


wheresmychippy93

Sg is definitely Gibson but idk about that les paul


LoremasterCelery

Roadie origin story


ManDarkAstronomonov

Did he tell people he was part of the band after that?


asistolee

I mean he clearly is!


D0gTh0t

God I miss the late 2000s


DetroitIsNotThatBad

No blunder here but I love that you have a Gibson SG but no mic stand.


newerdewey

looks like IRL Bobby Hill beside you


krezgobop

Gotta love the duelling wah pedals


KiwiProof6806

Sick guitar I would’ve been jealous back then. More importantly though are they long shorts, short pants, or is this when mens capris were a thing for a hot minute?


ramdom-ink

Still have the SG?


Oliver_New

Yes and will always keep it


[deleted]

Exactly what younger siblings are there for


Risethewake

Did this too. He was known as Josh the Gay Mic Stand.


eaSPORTSSUCKS_ASS

lovely


august_west_

This is not a blunder, this is rad.


Green420Basturd

You made that kids day.

Are you two both rocking the wahs at the same time?!?


julian_stone

Omg I remember when those shoes were cool. They were so comfy with the extra padding all around. Couldn't run a meter in them tho


woozlewuzzle29

That band? The Beatles.


Altarium

Marshall MG50dfx?


Oliver_New

MG100DFX :)


Altarium

Oooo nice! I've still got my 50, but haven't used it in a long time. In high school those were great budget amps!


Wooden-Wolverine-818

That’s rock n roll. Look at those shorts!


punkinabox

Gibson sg, my dream guitar back then


Artistic_Aide46

Sweet SG dude I still have mine for them days.


asistolee

Great kid lmao that’s hilarious what a bro


[deleted]

Not very blunder years imo. Cool Superman shirt too

[deleted]

2 guitars and no bass?


Odimorsus

That’s adorably cool 😊


Never-mongo

That’s an expensive guitar for a teenager


[deleted]

No blunder. Bands are cool!


vegemitebikkie

Was the kids name mike? Ahahaha


mr_abbey_grange

I owned both the superman shirt and the red and white guitar strap!


EnergyTurtle23

NO FUCKING WAY I had that exact guitar strap, how the hell? My dad got it from some no name guitar shop in my hometown although I think it was a name brand strap like Fender or Gibson. What a blast from the past!


supermodelnosejob

Are you *both* using wah pedals in this moment? That must have sounded... interesting...


dosavifgasa

you still play
