Both of my daughters had colic when they were babies. With my oldest, I was working 12 hour shifts which the schedule allowed me a week straight off every month (along with no more than 4 days working straight, fantastic schedule), and such during my week off, Wifey deemed it my time to be up all night. Well, at that particular time, VH1 was playing an aweful lot of Metallica. We watched "Some Kind of Monster", countless videos, Classic Albums, and many times Metallica with the San Fransisco Orchestra at 3 am, 4 am, 5 am. My daughter would only fall asleep lying on my or mom's chest.

Fast forward to when she was about 3 or 4. She is sitting at the kitchen table playing with playdo and I am browsing through the radio channels of the satellite TV. Kiss is on, "You like this?" Nope. Journey, "You like this?" Nope. AC/DC, "You like this?" Nope. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Poison, Motley Crue, tons of songs I'm finding asking the same thing. Nope, nope, nope. There's no hope for my daughter....

Or so I thought. I didn't ask. I get to the heavy metal channel and Metallica is playing (Master of Puppets I think.) I hang out on that channel enjoying when I look over in the kitchen. There my 3 year old daughter is in all her full long blonde haired glory headbanging away! I was so proud.


Fast forward to now, where my daughters are now 9 and 6 years old. I recorded a Stevie Ray Vaughan special on PBS I think it was. They ask me who that is and I tell them who SRV is. The SRV recording is the most requested to be allowed to watch in the list on the DVR! Another proud moment for sure. My 6 year old even requests a certain song, Pride and Joy. They wanted to download some mp3's from Walmart for their new players and after putting about 15 Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez songs in the shopping cart, my 6 year old asked if I could buy Pride and Joy for her :D.

Then again, above the SRV recording in the DVR list is Hanna Montana and right below it is Wizards of Waverly Place.]]> Opinions and Polls mrodgers https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/its-official-im-old/paged/3/#post-346622 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/its-official-im-old/paged/3/#post-346612 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:58:08 +0000 Opinions and Polls Rahul https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/its-official-im-old/paged/3/#post-346612 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/its-official-im-old/paged/3/#post-346591 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 20:34:16 +0000 Opinions and Polls RoundI https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/its-official-im-old/paged/3/#post-346591 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/its-official-im-old/paged/3/#post-346568 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:26:06 +0000

:D :D :D

Vic How about having a wig till it grows back ?

Because wigs are (A) expensive and (B) I've never seen a wig yet that didn't scream "WIG!" at me!

Anyway, it's long again and it's stopping long. As for Frank Rossi - yep, he's got short hair. Even lost the ponytail. Then again, he's lost MOST of his hair! Rick Parfitt hasn't, though....

:D :D :D

And although it may be very superficial a band has to look rock n roll to me it's part of the whole package.

I agree, the long hair does it. A lot of "older" folks (sorry, I'm not quite up there with ya :D ) can't really pull off the long hair. You did.

I agree with ya on the monkey suit. Heck, I wear blue jeans to church. My fancy dress is when I wear a shirt that has a collar, and it wouldn't be a button down shirt either. That's as fancy as I get. I do have a tie somewhere that my kids play with, hehe.
