It was my network login ID back in the early 90's when I worked at Shell, used it to sign up at an old old old iteration of MusicRadar or Intersound or whatever it was called then and it has stuck.

Worked in the music industry now for 28yrs. Musically, I started playing accordion and bouzouki when I was 8 and switched rather late to guitar when I was 17 and haven't looked back.
Q1: Where did your username come from? I'm Greek, so an easy tongue-in-cheek stereotype one to work out, plus it was my username on MR
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? Surrey (London end)
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? Well, now it's to continue playing live (funky function/tribute bands) as much as I can and family/working life will allow. I was lucky enough to have been pro for a year in my mid- 20s (live sessions and was in the 2nd generation of a signed band). Didn't really enjoy the experience and it helped me to decide that I didn't want to go down that route and preferred the safer 9-5 with music featuring heavily in my life as a hobby.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? My customised MIM Strat. It ain't a Suhr etc but it's my workhorse.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Crikey! That's a hard one but I'd have to pick Andrew Gold's "Never let her slip away" as my fave. A guitar one would be Steely Dan's "Josie".

Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I haven't had a chance to collect much in the 2 years I have been back, but I just picked up a 2013 Epi Les Paul Tribute. This guitar blows me away. Nothing can touch it at this price point.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Wow, tough one there. I Can't Quit You Babe - Led Zeppelin
Q1: Where did you username come from? It's my name
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? Loughborough
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To keep playing, (I'm one of the older members here), and the constant merry-go-round of cover band membership - we have our first gig with the latest singer on Saturday.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Axe-FX. The weight is as important as the sound.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? you're joking aren't you?
Q1: Where did you username come from?
Used to be 'appetitefordestruction' on the previous place, didn't post much tbh but couldn't seem to register.
This name from Parks & Rec
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Originally a Yorkshire lad, now living in London
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
At the moment just to enjoy playing guitar again, took a bit of a backseat over past few years but to play live again would be great
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Love my Suhr Riot and Koko Boost combo
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Totally depends on time & current mood etc. But fav at the mo is 'If I had a tail' from current QOTSA
Q1: Where did you username come from? Working with singers who like to get involved during the instrumental break.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? London
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To make parents of students understand that their child will get no better without actually practising.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Wine Red Les Paul custom bought as a gift by my wife. I usually prefer Strats but this guitar just fits.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Portishead's Roads
OK - I'll play, though my answers will in some cases change from minute to minute.
Q1: Where did you username come from? My wife made up an imaginary character when she was a little girl - he was called McToot the Bat. I'd like to write a children's book about him in which he's a bat that is afraid of the dark and hangs about with other rejects in the daytime, wearing Roy Orbison sunglasses...
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? Haywards Heath in West Sussex. It's most attractive points? It's good for Gatwick and is less than an hour from GAK, Guitar Guitar and Andertons...
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To be able to take myself seriously as a guitarist, not just a bloke who learns things via osmosis (or the 100 monkeys in a room method)
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Whichever guitar I'm playing. The rest are potentially for sale. At the moment it's probably my MIJ Tokai LP.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Tough. Probably Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil's version, not Tim Buckley's original, though that's good too in a late 60s hippy way. Either that or The Doobies' What a fool Believes, to which one can do the most fabulous dad-dancing.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder
My trading feedback - I'm a good egg

Bit late to this but worth doing anyway. My Name is Hywel, 59 years old, been playing since 13 and still a poor(ish) player wanting to improve to the stage that I can comfortably listen to my own playing without cringing. I'm a gear addict buying and infrequently seliing more than is good for me thinking that each time it will make me a better player. Few things do. Playing makes you a better player, especially if you play with others, under a little bit of stress either because of the occasion or the the others abilities. I have built my own Warmoth guitars, 2 strats including spray finishing them, fret dressing etc. Wookworking skills probably not good enough to do a scratch build. Built a number of kit amps and cabs including Ceriatone OTS on which I continue to inflict my modding skills.
Q1: Where did you username come from?
First name plus middle initial, on the basis that I'd put money on no one else having that combination. Could easily argue that the middle initial was short for GAS.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Nottingham UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To be good enough to enjoy regular gigging and jams, well into old age....
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
My wide necked Warmoth HSS strat.
Q5: Your #1 ever track?
SRV Little Wing. Makes me all watery eyed.
Yep. That skunk/badger look comes from nearly 50 years on this mortal coil and I came out into this big, bad world on the day they shot Kennedy! A little dose of AOR/80s every day is good for you and keeps you young!
+1 to "What a fool believes"!
Good to see so many familiar names here and here's to the next SE Gearfest and well done to the chaps for getting an East Anglia and Southern Gearfest up and running.
All the best
