lets see - I'll do the math:

2005 - 1981 = 24 years (holy s**t I'm old) :eek:

I'm 38 years old, I started when I was 13.

I Played 4-6 hours a day through the 1980's and early 1990's, worked professionally in metal bands most of that time. I also had a weird jazz side project for 5 years of that- sound like Spinal Tap? Of course I never opened for a Parrot show. :D

Went from Lounge Lizard to Living Room Lizard in 1995 - the bottom dropped out of the "talented hard rock musicians market" in favor of grunge and heroin driven muddy distortion. Became professional computer geek instead.

Now I play 4-6 hours a week or so for the last 10 years, but my fans are more loyal. (Wife, Children and Friends)

My daughter has picked up the torch now and wants to be a hard rock guitar player.

Excuse my rambling - this thread got me thinking.

You're right - it's been a few years - I'll have to rent that again.

Everyone's assignment for the weekend - rent and watch "This is Spinal Tap"

Just watched it again (for the millionth time) this past weekend - best movie ever. (The outtakes make a full movie as well.)

20 years. I'm 42 now, started at 22. Never really applied myself to practice, and never took a lesson. Should've done it when I was younger.

If the Rock and Roll is good enough, it can be alot more satisfying than sex and/or drugs.

It should be a pre-requisite for any rock musician. My favorite part is when they get lost backstage. Funny thing is, I have a friend who has had experiences even funnier and stranger than some things in that movie. I'm glad I suck, because being in a rock band is a difficult lifestyle.

No need to do that.. I own it! It was the 1st or among the 1st few titles that I bought on DVD. Funny stuff! I can only watch it when my wife isn't around, though.. she would so utterly not get it. hahaha.
