It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

I guess older would be old enough to remember Cliff Burton.

My Metallica bassist is Newsted. Which means I'm not young, not old.

People who only knew Trujillo are the young bucks.
