Also well said, joe-j... Man, the 80's just about ruined me... I hated most of that music, especially disco and thought to myself that things were never gonna be right again and then I heard Tesla, and Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam and got reinspired... I mean, I was down to not even precticing but a hour a week...Just enough to keep calloses on the fingers so when I started hearin' the garage.grunge bands on the radio it woke me the heck up... And thsoe groups, while never fillin' in for Sabboth, Humble Pie, AC/DC, etc., were a welcome sight... It was like the calvary coming to reinforce us against stupid music...

Now I'm practicing fir hours every week and gone back to doin' a couple three gigs a month and I'm rowdier than I ever been an' I got you by several years...

Like I said, long live Ozzy and long live headbangin'...
