I turned 30 in Jan. i see more and more people in this industry about the same age. It's cool because we all grew up when no good shit was going on. Except maiden and a few other things....

Amen.
It was an ugly growth period for metal, but we were lucky to witness the birth of a genre. Although I wish I could have been born a little earlier so I could have witnessed the really early punk and glam metal like the Dolls and Stooges etc.
I try and picture being 70 and listening to Cradle of Filth. Its going to happen. And its not like my taste in music gets any better. There has never been a better time for metal than right now. Its so fucking good, so much crossover, the kids of today who grew up on the old school and getting heavy doses of all that death related sub genres of metal are really doing some great things. 80s style thrash is creeping into all kinds of shit lately, I never thought thrash would come back.
Metal. A reason for living. Metal will never nag or cheat on you.
