New member here, been lurker for a longtime but decided to register now.
Anyways, I'm 36 from Canada

I’m impressed how many of you are saying your staying away from Facebag and social media in general.

Now if we can get everyone to stop watching the cable news networks, we’d all get back to normal. ……eventually.

 

[Nobody7]

Still in 30s but not for long

 

[Nobody7]

Nice, killing it as always! What an honor to play with Atma....I'd be so curious to hear what he had to say about those Perpetual Burn sessions! Good stuff Ed!

 

[stephen sawall]

It kind of reminds me of Jeff Beck when I listen to those two videos Ed.

I never asked.

 

[ChainsawsAndRainbows]

[Al Chapo]

36, as of last week.

 

[Maxwell_S_Hammer]

YIKES!
Seems like I might be an elder statesman here.
62, almost 63!

Grew up on my folks' 50's music (Dad saw Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, all live).
I'm never not amazed that my parents literally witnessed and were a part of the birth of rock and roll!! *swoon*

I'm a child of the 70's and 80's.
Pretty much tuned out of popular music when grunge destroyed my beloved hair-metal bands.
I now know what disco freaks felt about we metalheads.
Yeah, Village People, I KILLED DISCO!!!

I want that on my tombstone, btw.

In hindsight, I missed out on some GREAT music!
Chris Cornell just BLOWS MY MIND!
What a voice!! What soul!
I'm now digging on Velvet Revolver, STP, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog...

Anyway, I'm still rockin', still playing, endeavoring to write songs and learn how to play guitar... still...

Still chasing tone (as was Les Paul, btw.)
I love that, when his Sister asked what "sound" he was looking for he answered, "I don't know. I haven't found it yet."
Story of my life.


G'day, Y'all.

Same here, except that it seemed to me that it destroyed all pop music, not just hair metal.

Yes, in cahoots with rap and hip hop.

 

[Monkey Man]

Rap went to shit too but there were some bangers back in the day.

I'm thinking Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and that Bust a Move song...

 

[Maxwell_S_Hammer]

Eh, different strokes.
It's all sophomoric to me.
No melody, no harmony, no chord changes, NO CHORDS, filled with non-rhyming "rhymes" over a bad fake drum beat.

Compared to the virtuoso musicianship and compositions that we grew up with?

F'get about it!
No comparison.

42 this year....
