Too old for Heavy Metal?

[livnxxxl]

I guess it's time for me to listen to John Tesch, Yanni, John Mayer or some other mundane

Man, I hope not. For a second there I thought you typed Mudvayne. Ohh yeah! DIG!!!!

[Bruce Banner]

You never grow out of metal. If it's in your blood, it's always gonna be with you.

This is me right before I die:

I go to the Graspop Metal Meeting every year, it's one of the biggest metal festivals in Europe (probaby the world). Unlike some other festivals, where the average age is 16, the average age at Graspop is 40 or something. I see plenty of 40+ and 50+ guys there, so I can definitely say there's no age limit to metal.
I'm 34 and I've been going to concerts and festivals since I was 16 and I have no plans of stopping just yet

I'll be 34 in December...and am a HARD CORE metal fan!!!! As I'm typing this I'm jamming to some "Black Dahlia Murder" (Black Valor to be exact )

I grew up in a fairly tight Christian home....where hard music was frowned upon. I grew up listening to "Christian Metal" AKA Stryper,WhiteCross,Rez band,Tamplin,Holy Soldier,etc. I soon progressed to Dream Theater,Dio, GnR,Megadeth, and etc.

I have seen dozens of concerts...and in fact I have tickets for a show tomorrow----the Rockstar Energy Uproar tour...which features Avenged Sevenfold,Disturbed,Hellyeah,Halestorm,Stone Sour, and etc. I'm a HUGE A7X fan....and I'm as giddy as a 14 year old school boy looking at his first nudie mag to see them


Metal till DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!! \M/

If I was 20 now, I'd need to be in a tuner Civic that sounds like a weed eater, cranking some Nickelback.

Yeah, and a looking like a ******....... I swear I thought that my "Gen X" was rough looking..... these losers today are so confused it isn't even funny. No sense of style....no class, no....well, I give up

[COLOR=SeaGreen][I][B]Hey all.
Someone told me today that I was too old for Heavy metal music.?!
Hey!
Heavy metal is part of MY generation!
Am I supposed to not like it anymore as I grow white hairs on my beard?
I dont know.

I guess I'm still wondering what the self-appointed music expert thinks you should be listening to...and on what is the claim based? Nobody who really appreciates music would ever say something like that. It's just not right.

I wonder what else this person doesn't like because s/he's not supposed to. That's a sad and pathetic way to live.

Hmmmm....

There’s a really good discussion of this on “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey.” (The scene with the ex Marine current computer guy.)

>I was at a light last week rocking some Styx in the ol' Town & Country, and I happened to glance over at a 20-something professional looking woman who was looking at me like I was a freak.

Holee Smokes! That was a Simpsons routine!

Either you're WITH me and 60s garage rock... or you're AGAINST me
and 60s garage rock!

(It's a "SW ROTS" joke)

The SW ROTS line actually goes back to 1st Century Palestine and a guy named Jesus.

Garage Rock? I do have many of the Artists from the 1960's list in my music collection, yes.

But I would say many of their tunes are timeless and can't really be accurately "dated".

The Sonics

You never grow out of metal. If it's in your blood, it's always gonna be with you.

As I said before. If you "outgrew" metal..You were never into it in the first place!

This is me right before I die:

Your going to be a little yellow thrashing smiley face before you die? LOL!!

I am going to have Mudvayne's "DIG" played at my funeral amongst many other awesome tunes.

[Blue Meanie]

Depends on what kind of Metal you're talking about...Death Metal....Don't care for it at all. Nowif you're talking about Metallica, Scorpions, Dokken and those type of Metal bands...then I say bring it on. Little Judas Priest and AC/DC never killed anyone.
