What’s funny. My son is 28. He tells me all the time. He wished he grew up in the 80s.

 

[Mailman1971]

I think the only ‘new stuff’ I’ve listened to. Lamb of god.

Fiddy Two in Sept. Actually wish I had been born in 58 or so. To be early 20's around 1980 would have been my sweet spot. But early 20's in '92 wasn't too shabby either.

 

[Mailman1971]

Ya me and another buddy talk the old days. His brother was around in the 70s disco free love era. He tells me stories that blow my mind. Haha

Pub life in Australia in the 80's was epic. Especially when you start going when you're 14. Driver's licenses were just a piece of paper with no picture so if you looked too young you just had to memorize you're older cousin's star sign (favorite trick question from bouncers back then)...lol

Things different back those days. I was 14 years old. My mom dropped me off by myself to go
See AC/DC. No way would I do that these days. Haha

I wouldn't drop you off to go see AC/DC by yourself now either.

Dang, most of ya'll are a bunch of younguns; I'll be 71 this August and won't stop till I drop! It's all good, though, cuz I got to see SOOO many great bands in the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc. Only regret is I wish my hair would've stuck around. Now, I don't have a forehead...I have a fivehead.

My first show was 1976 at 12yo and people were passing who knows what around. I was tripping for Frank Marino and throwing up for much of Foreigner and then getting ripped again for Ted Nugent.

I demand amp reparations from the former generation. I am entitled to an old stock Plexi and an old LP. It is my birthright that was stolen from me!

Me too bro me too
