You might be an aging headbanger if...

Your kid is listening to Meshuggah and you go into their room and say, "That isn't music, that's garbage. When I was your age, we listened to good bands, like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest!"

You can't bring yourself to throw away your Led Zeppelin shirt, even though the band logo is so faded as to be barely readable.

You can remember when metalheads didn't greet each other by flashing the horns.

You can remember when suggesting that Rob Halford was gay was a good way to get yourself beaten up.

You think kids at shows in skinny jeans are a return to the good old days...

You say things at band rehearsal like, "Any lower than a dropped D, and it all starts to sound alike."

My guitar player shows his age occasionally.

When it takes weeks to recover from one song in the pit.

If you hang around and post on the Y&T Forum and still lock yourself in the studio and Jam to their Songs

When you think that grey hair and leather pants look great together

When you get a seat in the balcony to see a Motorhead show.

(which I did recently)

Yes, I am

I've seen a few bikers who could get away with it, but not a single metalhead. Same category as a grandmother in a miniskirt

Personal taste. You opinion may differ

I would have to say that as to looking good in leather pants, the shape your body is in would be a lot more of a factor than hair pigmentation. If you haven't gone all pear-shaped, wear the leather.

Same rule for grandmothers in mini-skirts. If you've still got the legs for it, go for it.

I actually don't think younger women should wear revealing clothing. If a woman has made it past forty and she's still got it, she's earned the right to show it off.
