This is me in a few decades.

That old bugger rules, and has great taste in music, blasting out Megadeth on vinyl!!!!

Nice to see SAHB Healer get a little recognition! Way to go, buddy!

It wasn't SAHB, I didn't see a goat anywhere in the footage.

Ha, that's almost me now.

And they said it was only a phase! METAL 'TIL I DIE!!!!!

Thats cool!I suspect that will be me, if I live that long.

that's awesome! keep going old dude!

Nice! This was great.

DUDE! The old man is totally cool.

man, I can only hope to be rockin' at that age. I dont know if my ears are as willing as my love for rock n metal.

Sometimes you see very extroverted seniors taking up young hobbies as a way to stay young or do performance art or something (senior rappers or whatever). But you can tell this guy is no poser, he's obviously one of us, just loves the music.
It doesn't surprise me a bit. Consider that when Black Sabbath came out this guy was "only" about 43 years old, which is younger than several of us here now. Of course we will be just like that, I have no doubt about it whatsoever. Just remember to take good care of your ears!

I have seen some people as old as this guy on some shows of the biggest bands, I wonder what is their story on how they got into metal. But this for sure be me on some years, I need to start taking care of my ears

Haha! I never thought to put this guy up on this board. Ive known him for a while now! He did a spot about my band on one of his episodes. Hes going to be doing a segment on my internet radio show hopefully in the next couple of weeks as well. Hes definetly a cool guy and knows a lot about the metal.

No, not Old Man Metal. This is an actual old guy who likes metal. He's 82, watch the clip.

Next time you write a subject lets take a little time to actually think about the title. JEEEZ!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway.... so forget what I wrote about the "Old Man Metal" that I know. Its got nothing to do with the Really Old Man Metal From England (or wherever hes from) in this clip.

Thats cool though. That will be me except if I get married to the girl im with now she wont be as tollerable of my music as this guys wife is. Another thing.. Its not really a big deal but Holy Crap does that guy have a huge goider on the side of his face. DAMN!

Wow im really out of it tonight.... I did put the other old man metal up on this board a while back. I really need to go to bed.

Thats awesome. Good to see an older person no less mention the actual music quality to it.

Very cool guy.

I thought it was cool that actor Christopher Lee (86) was a fan of Rhapsody. This is even cooler. That will no doubt be me when I'm that old (if I don't go bald, I will probably have long white, whispy hair).

God Bless Him!!!

I hope I'm still a fan of the music I love at that age.

that old man is freekin bad.

Scott, I don't think any of us here would doubt that. You'll be a for life.

Really cool to see that there is at least one other guy that is like I'll still be at that age. Even many of you here who think you might, won't be. Most all of my friends have long gotten out of it at less then half that age.

P.S. Scott I think you might make it as well.
