    Well, of the ones I know from that lot:

    Gojirosan came and went;
    Lixarto got chucked out for trying to be two people at once;
    dot-dot-dot is here but has become an eating utensil;
    JasonMorris sadly passed away some years ago.

    I remember Trelloskilos, but I don't know what became of him.

    The Gojmonster is apparently still rampaging on FB. Wouldn't know, still not on there. I miss Dave about in this community, too. Great musician.
    Wahwahsta was the laddie who got fired for surfing the intermusic forum at work. He resurfaced after a disappearance of a few years with a new name which I can't recall. He used to format his posts idiosyncratically.
    Trell came out. Last I heard he was in law enforcement in some capacity.

    Search on here for Jason Morris. A tragic loss. :(

    Dave (Gojirosan) occasionally pops up on Facebook, but is quite active on Instagram. 

    As people have said, J-Mo passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. Absolutely stellar gentleman and incredible guitarist to boot :( 

    Trell still pops up on Facebook every now and then.

    Trell (Mike) is a copper. Lovely chap too.

    Goji is ok, but avoiding many social media for a bit.

    dot-dot-dot is Sporky!!!!

    Last time I saw wahwahsta was at a Gasfest meet up. Was a nice chap, I wondered what happened to him.

    Nice to know Trell is still about!  I remember him from the Collective days and getting absolutely slaughtered with him into the dawn one time in Bristol (damn, that's nearly 14 years ago!).  There was me, Trell, some businesswoman with massive breasts, and a random youth.  The youth was desperately trying to hit on her; she was trying to hit on Trell, and it was fun to watch a night of totally doomed love evolve.  The woman managed to out drink us all and left by drawing with Sharpie all over the poor kid's comatose face.  Cruel but funny.

    Was that Gasfest as if it was I was there .. I met Mike for pint in Milton Keynes about 10 years ago.

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

  • I get confused to this day whether some of the folk on here are the same as those from intermusic. Which is why I kept my name!

    Yes it was.  As it happens my friend's son recently joined the Bedfordshire police.  No idea where Mike is of course but it would be wonderfully weird to run into him again through that tangent!

    @thomasross20 yep, I was thinking that too.  It's not so much "what happened to..." and more like "how come we're nearly all still here!"
    We need another GAS Fest.  FretFest!

    @thomasross20 I remember you turned up to one of the Bristol ones, and you won a Morgan guitar in the raffle!  

    I don't suppose you still have it, do you?

    FretFest sounds well cool :lol: 
    That's right! I actually traded it for something else after a good 5 years and sold the one I got in trade to help fund a car. That was great, though!
    Edit - that sounds terrible but I was still a skint student trying lots of things out any way I could. I was very appreciative!!

    Right - if @dot-dot-dot and @Sporky really are the same person, they're both banned.

    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    We've been seen in the same room at the same time so we're probably not the same person.
