You're NEVER too old to rock..!

These guys still do it...

Now if that 'aint inspiration for you, then I don't know what is.

Never listen to people who tell you what you can't do.

Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm just curious to see if there's still any hope for me.

Speaking of old Rockers... have any of you guys seen the IronWorkz commercial?

Sorry, the skull has to go. No offense, but it's kinda cheesy for the year 2005. Oh, and here's a tweak for your nipple (I'm comfortable enough in my heterosexuality to write that!).
As to the question of being to old to be in a rock band, I think BONES put it best:

BONES wrote:I certainly know that I am far too old to get on MTV but that has never been why I do this. I'm also sure that it impacts on our success in a more general way but, again, that's not why I do it. So until you're older than Mick Jagger I don't think you have too much to worry about.

For me in particular, I've realized my opportunity to make a platinuum record, or (like BONES posted) be on MTV has passed. You know, the hairline gets a little further up on the forehead, a few more lines show up on the face. But maturity has also opened other possibilities. And I've still had comely young lasses grinding their hips into me as I play guitar onstage (and also had some parking lot encounters).
As someone once said: As long as you look humanoid, being onstage in a band makes the chicks think you're hot! For God's sake, just look at Keith Richards! Or Ric Ocasek!
edit: OMG, just saw that IronWorkz commercial; freaking funny, dude!

Perhaps I'm not too old to rock out onstage occasionally but I'm definitely too old to enjoy full-blown touring! I prefer the comfort of my own bed, daily bathing, three meals a day, etc...

too old to rock and roll? hell no!
imho, thats not even possible. the people who are telling you that, and who are afraid of a flaming skull, have simply lost all their cool.

It's no more difficult for fifty-year-old musicians today to sell tickets to forty-year-old fans than it was for swing musicians in the 60's or early rockers in the 70's. The question is - how many white-haired rockers are establishing themselves as new acts to new audiences of young people? Not many, I think.

But personally, I never was into playing because I wanted to be a "rock star" - indeed, it was seeing the madness that such ambitions drove some of my friends to that made me decide to hack code for a living instead of playing. I write and play whenever I can because I like to do it, and feeling the music flow through me in unexpected directions is one of the great joys in my life. It will be a while yet before I'm too old for that!

I will be 38 in a few days and I don`t feel too old to rock

I`m just tired of internal band arguments. That`s why I went the "home alone" solo career with my only pal Mr PC. If he gets too pissy I shut him off

Not too old, but probably a bit too fat.
