Welcome to the boards!!

I'm only 23 and in college but I'm an old soul... I fully believe that the 50's, 60's, and 70's were the best three decades of music that we've had so far... Mostly just the 60's and 70's... the strides that were made in those decades can be compared to the strides of the 80's and 90's but I believe that without those artists music as we know it would largely be a stagnant thing... With little change. Quite possibly most of the musicians that we know such as Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen, Van Halen, Dimebag, Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhoads... on and on... might not have ever picked up a guitar if it weren't for those that paved the road before them and gave them their very own guitar heros....

Rock on man.
