So you're a real veteran.
thats cool.
Who is the oldest (ok not oldest, "most experienced" :))
in here by the way?
Anyway, you (vanrhoads) seem to hate people that
thinks that old rock sucks.
Well you do exactly the same thing.
You say the new rock isnt nearly as good as
ozzy, van halen etc etc.
Maybe you dont think so, but there are many that does.
They will probably say the exact same thing about old rock,
and they probably hate you as much as you hate them.
So this discussion isnt going anywhere, so drop it.
Be more tolerant, and you will find that
new doors will open.
