Never performed on the street, per se. Unless you count the street of the house I grew up in. I played next to that thing all the time.

Getting entirely too wasted at a party and stupidly getting on stage with my equally drunk bass player and my cousin on drums, who can't play the drums at all. This wasn't exactly a metal crowd and we sounded absolutely horrible. Supposedly we were being yelled and booed at. I was 5 sheets to the wind so I don't recall noticing it. We were told to get off the stage and forced into waiting cars to get us out of there, which i refused to do until I got the rest of our beer. As we sped off and were being taken home, I was told it was a set-up by some guy who wanted to kill me. But that's another non-musical story, lol.

My very first "guitar" was a one stringed plastic toy. BUT, it used a real guitar string and had a pickup!!! I twanged on that thing with no idea what to actually play besides "twinkle little star" that came with it. Then a friend of the family gave me a shitty harmony guitar that was at the time the most awesome thing to me. It wasn't in tune and I didn't know how to play a thing, so I just started picking and fretting until it made noises I liked. I ended up leaving it at someone's house and although it was a p.o.s. guitar, I wish I kept it for nostalgia's sake. After that was a series of guitars mostly from pawn shops or trusty old Sears & Roebuck. I'd get one, sell it, buy another, trade, sell, buy, etc... At some point I started just getting them as opposed to exchanging for another. Out of the 14 or so guitars and basses I mainly play Ibanez guitars and a Schecter bass. I never named my instruments. Probably for the same reason I don't name the wrenches in my toolbox, lol.
