lol...I was wondering...but who knows...maybe you don't work, are independently wealthy, and have time to work out 3 hours a day and practice music. ;)

@mellowinman... Awesome!!! :cool: Thanks for sharing!

lol...uh oh....haha! You look like you are in your early 30s in this photo.

They had other tunes...but yes...that is true. And that is one of their best known songs. I would not want to sing that song. haha! Good point.

Is there supposed to be an age requirement to post on CL? I saw one ad today looking for an all female band. The girl who posted it said she could play guitar and sing, and was looking for bass, drummer, and guitar players. Then said something like "Are you wanting to be the next Runaways? Call...

Well I am so glad that this has turned into such lively conversation! Thanks everyone for your thoughts and feedback so far. I don't want to thread jack...and maybe this should branch off into a new thread. But another form of music which also exploded during the 80s was metal. Also seeming to...

See, you don't look old to me, at least not in that photo. No gray hair and hardly any wrinkles. And no old man shirt either. lol.

Haha! Yeah, no dreams here for "making it big". I just wanna be able to jam with a group, maybe record and get regular gigs in the area, and see how that goes. But the first step, and all I am concentrating on now, is just learning to be a good player. :) The rest will fall into place in time...

I'm not even ready yet to play with a band. I just started learning bass about a week and a half ago, but a lot is coming back to me as far as music theory, and because I learned a bit of guitar (albeit 20+ years ago), I think that learning bass is coming a bit easier to me because of that...

Well...yeah...if there is a theme to the band, it would make sense. New Kids on the Block would not have worked with 50 year olds. ;)

I disagree. I think it more has to do with style and attitude vs. age. Look at all the aging rockers out there that are still doing their thing, and doing it well. Sure, they no longer fill stadiums, but they have their fans. And for those rockers that aren't famous or never have been, I...

Isn't it interesting that when there is an attractive woman playing rock, it is sometimes questioned whether or not she can really play. :P Frustrating for sure. Great thread here! I love Joan Jett and Lita Ford!

Revealing a bit more about myself here...I am also a burlesque performer. I was a part of a troupe for a while, most of the members were in their early 20s. I am 42. The next oldest in the troupe was 28. I was with them for almost 2 years. It began to get frustrating for me though. Although in...

Ha! :P I am here to learn bass, and to be taken seriously as a musician...not post photos of myself and be admired for my looks. There are other forums for that. ;)

I can understand that. I am pretty open to the type of music I would like to play, and the genre. But, yeah, punk or "indie" rock seem to draw a younger crowd. Here in the Detroit area, I have seen metal, rockabilly/psychobilly, and classic rock bands whose member's looked to be in their...
