The ex guitarist in the band in my sig (who left us a few months ago) is 62 and grew up on 60's, Hendrix, Cream, Zeppelin, ACDC, Iron Maiden etc.
About 2 years ago he was travelling with me while I was playing Lamb Of God, Children Of Bodom, System Of A Down and other such bands.
It was like a revelation to him because he'd never heard stuff like that before and he got well into it going out and buying loads of albums.
The drummer in my other band Mistreated, is 58 and grew up on 60s, Hendrix, Cream, Led Zeppelin and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
When joining us it was obvious he knew zilch about rock and has had to learn all our Sabbath, Rainbow, Iron Maiden classics from scratch.
We recently gave him a cd full of music with suggestions and the 3 he picked out are: Metallica - For Whom The Bells Toll, Megadeth - Peace Sells & Slayer - Mandatory Suicide saying what an amazing music that he'd never heard before.
He again has gone out and bought loads of Metal albums.
Old people hey
