Jemsite Users Nicknames (usernames) - just curious...

[donnyboy]

donnyboy - my real name's Alex Don, so it's just a play on Danny Boy, as in "the pipes, the pipes are calling" etc...

Most people call me Al, but other's use one of a few nicknames including Donatron, Donny, Juan and Donno.

[Shockme.au]

Whilst I am a big Vai and Satch fan, it was Ace Frehley that inspired me to pick up the guitar. I am a huge KISS fan. I am also an electrician so it is a bit of a pun on that too!

"Tonight we're gonna hand the microphone over to Ace Frehley - Shock Me!"

and I am Australian hence ".au"

[TongueShredder]

Mine, TongueShredder is self explanatory. Not only do I shred my guitar strings using my tongue, I do shred among other things using my tongue as well..

[ken_r152]

My name is Ken and when I took flying lessons, the plane that I first soloed on was a Cessna 152.

Yes but that doesn't explain the "r" now does it??

[klopper22]

Mine refers to something me and my brother made up when we got stoned once. It was one of those moments when you are tripping and you just happen to look at each other. I raised my hand between us and had it in a fist. Then I flicked out the thumb, index finger and then pinky with sound effects. The Klopper was born. 22 is because someone already had the username klopper I think. If they don't, I thought they did.

So now ya know.
Later,

steve vai didnt write any material on slip of the tongue (whitesnake).....this was done by adrian vandenberg....who damaged his hand during the recording of the album....vai was paid $1.000000 to finish off the album.

[Vim Fuego]

Weelll... Vim Fuego was the name of the Lead Guitarist in the BAD News band. This was a spoof band, a bit like spinal tap but with less talent, put together by the guys behind the UK's Comic Strip comedy programmes. As I recall Comic Strip spoofed all sorts of things including Enid Blyton (5 Go Mad In Dorset!) I think it was Adrian Edmonson's character that was called Vim Fuego, real name Alan Metcalfe (he's married to Jennifer Saunders), I can't remember Nigel Planer's or Rick Mayall's character's names. I guess outside the UK you wouldn't have seen any of this. I think Bad News even did a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody with Brian May on guest Guitar!

Oh and Vim sounds a bit like Jim!!!
