Kudos to the old members.

Chilling having a bottle of wine, watching some Metallica vids and gearing up for the European tour dates I have tickets for, and it got me thinking…. ESP Forum, the old days.  

 

So I took a quick browse.

 

Kudos to the old members for sticking with the site after "The change."  From having a quick browse, ye are still the backbone of the community, so just wanted to give respect where respect is due.  

ESP 348

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Ya know man, seriously, there are only a few people I reminisce fondly about here and the interactions that went on, and every now and then I think about you, and hope all is going well for you.

 

Did you ever get back with your boyfriend?  I remember you were a bit uncomfortable with the change, but, sure, it's 2019!  World is a lot different since 2008! 

 

Just kidding man.  Seriously though.  I miss all the old heads and the fun and blowing off steam.  So I really hope all has went well for everyone that used to be on the old forum.  Some of ye are probably grandparents at this stage!

Road King

Cool list. Let's keep this going:

Acefox

Bmusic

Boogie

Carlino guitars

ChrisRocksUSA

ESP Playboy

Guitar Guy #2 (One tribute band)

Losing Reality

Lucky13

Metlupass2

Nespr0 (loser of the epic luthier build off)

Pharaoh

RRRCustom

Scott (I think this was the Euro dude with more gear than talent)

SixStringHotShot

Spoonyluv

Unreal Explorer

Zao and his wife lol

 

Hey Mod, what other names did I have besides GG81? 

 

metalhobo

i always read that metlupass2 guy as "metal you pass!"

 

btw the lack of serious business in the forum is directly correlated to the fact that I now own more jackson/charvels than esp/ltds.

Road King

I only own one ESP now, but want to get a USA model. I was just trying out the purple Charvel USA and white Adrian Smith models recently. The Floyds were not recessed though and I dislike Dimarzios. Wish they'd just put a Floyd on Fenders. 

Metlupass2

It was an old AOL instant messenger name I came up with in like 1999

Good pulls, RK. "AceFox" .

There are so many I glossed over obviously. Weren't you originally Guitar Guy EMG81? Plus all the other names when we were going through our little rough patch. Still have the Kelly Hayes ESP?

Is Leftfield still posting? (Can't recall his username)  Other than Road King's antics, I've always missed the Leftfield posts!   Who was it that nicknamed his Leftfield? 

Pushead

I own significantly more ESPs than I did during the prime Serious Business days, but I doubt there's any relation to the state of business affairs in the forum. (though less time making ridiculous 'shops means more time surfing ebay...)

There is a group on the bookface for some of the respectable members, but there's not a lot of action there.

Shame about FB…. that's like 00's.  Someone want to set up a reddit page?  xD  Need to reactivate my PTSD from the old days!   reddit.com/r/espseriousbusiness or similar

No KH, I went the way of most dudes 30+ and traded my metal guitars for pretty maple tops. I even started using passive pickups.  My one ESP is a Potbelly and I plan to get a USA model soon.
