Thirty years ago I was breaking wild horses; I know what you mean.

I used to play a little back in the day. Dad was a classical guitarist in the Mason Williams vein. He was an aficionado of Alvarez acoustic guitars and Ernie Ball strings, both wire and nylon. He used me to string and ear-tune them before he played anywhere. I wasn't even in their league at my best, but man, my left hand will still instinctively form chords and my right fingers start to pluck at my thigh on those late nights when the wife is off in dreamland, I open up my MP3 player, and I've had a beer or three in me.

How old is too old to want to pick it back up, before your wife starts to look at you like you're either nucking futs or just plain getting senile? LOL!!!!!!

I know the feeling.

I’m a lot more focused now that I’m an old guy.

[Norm Lenhart]

Yup. Ride the Lightning was another awesomely great album. the first three Metallica albums are pretty much the definition of metal. Not to take anything away from the others of the Big 4. (Though I’m not a huge Slayer fan but they were good at what they did).

And Megadeth certainly are great as well. (Peace sells/Rust in Peace....what’s not to love?) Anthrax with Joey certainly kick ass as well. I can even deal with the Sound of White noise with Bush. But those first three Metallica albums were special.

I saw him before he was known in a cafeteria in Midland, TX. He walked right up to me at break wanting cocaine; I was very thin at the time so I figured that’s why he singled me out. I pointed him in a direction, we had a little conversation and off he went.

Nobody as intolerant as the tolerant left.

Heh! My Wife begs me to play all the time. I learned everything Hetfield’s done from Kill to The Black Album. I just couldn’t get interested in it after Load, though. With the exception of Hero of the Day.

[Norm Lenhart]

YES!!!!

I thought I was the only guy on earth that liked/loved that song. the rest I can live without on Load/Reload but HOTD is a great song.

I partied with the guys from 80's MTV darlings Kix (the 'official house band of Baltimore, MD') in a Pizza Hut parking lot, back before they had their fifteen minutes of hair metal fame. We were all from the same neck of the woods, and they were still just a regional band playing some local beer puke/venereal disease dive across the river. They were pretentious even then, and this was before Fast Times At Ridgemont High even hit the theaters. (Remember that movie?) Here's a lesson in comeuppance for you: back when their career fizzled when grunge came charging down the plains, one of the guys, Nobel Laureate that he was - his name escapes me - ended up riding a cherry picker and painting billboards to pay his rent. Lesson here: ALWAYS keep your skill sets honed enough to have a dignified backup career.

I had a college roommate from Baltimore....He played nothing but Kix and Crack the Sky.

Don't tread on me So don't tread on me Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail Never begins it, never, but once engaged Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage So don't tread on me So be it, threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it, settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore [Incomprehensible] Don't tread on me Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lightning strike Shining with brightness, always on surveillance Eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance Ooh, no, no, no So don't tread on me So be it, threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it, settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Don't tread on me So be it, threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail So be it, threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it, settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Don't tread on me  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Songwriters Lars Ulrich;James Hetfield Read more: Metallica - Don't Tread On Me Lyrics | MetroLyrics

Alice Cooper did that to him when he helped him sober up and find Jesus.

[Salamander]

Put me down as a third.

[Norm Lenhart]

See, now this is what’s great about America. Where else can a guy in makeup and fishnets singing about tranny cops convert a heavy metal guitarist to Christianity and have an entire right wing website filled with bitter clingers nod approvingly?

;)

Ok, what the heck happened to the metal heads? At least us old geezers that like Iron Maiden, The Ground Hogs & such understood that they were talking about killing. But the Metalica fans? Ooooh, don’t hurt the cute little 1500# Griz with the 10” claws! These “fans” need to start to listen to the lyrics for a change!

[Salamander]

God bless the USA...;D

You need to see “Super Duper Alice Cooper”.

He spills his guts about his past.

I was gob smacked.

It was excellent but heavy as hell.

After I watched it, I understood that the self-aggrandizing title was actually mockery.

[Viking2002]

Hot Razors In My Heart. John Palumbo. Got it in my MP3 library. Remember Face Dancer? SHE GOT RED SHOES!

[dfwgator]

Those were the days back when a band could have regional success without necessarily breaking national, those days are long gone.

[Viking2002]

Randall - you, me, a case of beer, and your denim jacket are all gonna sit down and commiserate one day.

Damn - Faith No More's Epic just rotated into my MP3 queue. Scared the friggin' cat out of the room. (What Is It?!?) LOL!!!!!
