    I am 52. You better go see all these old school rockers before they retire. I saw Iron Maiden last night here in Austin. I saw Faster Pussycat here in Austin back in June. These guys are all getting older. Go out and support them. What I would do to go back to 1981-89.

      My first concert in 1990 was Whitesnake with Steve Vai, Faster Pussycat opened. I was 14...10th row. Vai did Passion and Warfare songs for his solo with the Whitesnake guys backing. I was sold and was on my way to a life of pure rock and roll chaos. Kind Regards.
