| Ever Been Fanatical about a Scottish Band?
I used to be completely and utterly obsessed by the Scottish band "Goodbye Mr Mackenzie" between the ages of 15 and 20. My friends and i would follow them everywhere, we'd go to all the gigs and were even sad enough to sit outside the venues for hours beforehand, desperate to catch a glimpse of Martin Metcalfe the lead singer
*How embarrassing!* anyone else got any obbsessive behaviour involving Scottish bands? MY HEROS!

I absolutely adore the Sensational Alex Harvey band.
A few of the guys came to see my band play one night, it's the only time i've ever actually been starstruck. |

Ted Mckenna came to see my last acoustic show. Made me nervous as fuck.
(I tabbed a couple of Psyko Dalek tracks, if that counts) | |

Good call on the PD actually, I tried to learn the drum fill at the start of Bulletproof if that counts but it's hardly an obsession  | |
