I mean check out the stones for example, those dudes are well in their 60s and they put on a better show than most bands half their age!

Anvil have been around since 1978. I was never really into them but I knew of their existence...</p> <p>So I think it's time to have a long chat with your dad!<br /> If he says he's had enough then so be it - but if it's just cos he thinks he's too old then maybe you can convince him otherwise.

I just picked it up and I am surprised I haven't heard of this band until now. These guys are like the energizer bunny, they just keep going and going. Why success alluded them until just recently Rock god only knows. Their songs and musicianship are just plain bad ass. It is cool they finally achieved the success they so richly deserved even if it was in their fifties. Here is the trailer, this is a must for any rock fan. My dad says he's too old to rock, well I'll have to sit his long, greying haired ass down and make him watch this.<br /> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FF4H8lB2Y_o"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FF4H8lB2Y_o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/too-old-to-rock#post-30205 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 04:53:13 +0000 squid 30205@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Bands such as Ratt, Alice Cooper and Meatloaf haven't aged at all it seems (or whats left of the band hasn't).<br /> I'm glad they're still making music for us.<br /> The scorpions also know their place and are going on one last tour before they can't do too much anymore. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/too-old-to-rock#post-30190 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 21:08:44 +0000 AnotheRainbow 30190@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Now I don’t need to worry ’bout tomorrow<br /> Ain’t anticipating what’s to come<br /> And I don’t need to worry ’bout the things I have not done<br /> Long as I got rock and roll I’m forever young...<br /> OR<br /> I will live in fame and die in flames<br /> I'm NEVER gettin' old </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/too-old-to-rock#post-30161 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:12:14 +0000 Guitarsmurf 30161@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>As long as you can / want to, go ahead and do it! Some examples (not necessarily glam):</p> <p>Sammy Hagar - in his sixties now, still sounds as inspired as on that first Montrose album in 1973!<br /> John Fogerty - still going strong and playing those Creedence songs with conviction (since the 1960s!)...<br /> BB King - the man is 80 years old and still touring. He has to play sitting down, but his voice resonates as always and his guitar sings. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/too-old-to-rock#post-30142 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:06:55 +0000 KarKing Jack 30142@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Dead?

Their either on the hill or over the hill. My dad is a studio musician now but he just won't play with the rest of his hair band because he told me its just a bunch of ridiculous old guys trying to be young. We argued. I take the position your never too old to rock, as long as you can stand, head bang, and move hands to play a instrument you can rock. Don't mind some balding or shakiness just as long as they deliver the goods music wise, what do you all think? Agree or disagree? Do you think some these guys need to hang up their snake skin boots, toss out their aqua, white washed jeans, leather pants and spandex? Get rid of their V guitars? Or you do you think they need to keep the flame and rock it till they die like me? </p>
