This is a bit depressing isn't it..??? Sad but true has a new meaning to ponder. Time for a strong drink and maybe a bit of a smoke.

Number of the Beast (Maiden) was on the overhead music at Fred Meyer yesterday.
I was literally skipping down isle 6 singing “
6 6 6, is the number of the beast 
” playing air bass…

I mean yes this is correct, but also "no shit sherlock"
Also that shouldn't be the takeaway from this video
The takeaway you guys should be receiving is "wow music changed a LOT from 85 to 2005, and changed almost not at all from 2005 to 2026"
Because all the bands that are "current" are still aping Tomas Haake/Meshuggah, "Clayman" period In Flames, and emo/deathcore just like they were in 2005 - it's just now they can fake it with either midi or AI.

Sometimes I feel like my whole identity is wrapped up in my music and the bands that I grew up with and still listen to even to this day and if I lost it what would I still enjoy? Ok, I am going to really get that drink now...

Both society and music changed concurrently. I remember back in the 80s when the mad mothers club in congress were suing the likes of Ozzy and Motley Crue, and AC/DC etc… because of the influence and suggestiveness of “modern music”. Now those kids (me) are adults and that same music is considered so benign it’s ambience worthy in a family shopping center.

Yes, but the point i'm making is that Number of the Beast was family shopping center worthy in 2005 - which I know it is, because I heard that, and other maiden in stores in that time
the point i'm making is music stopped evolving on a musical level like it was frozen in time around the explosion of the internet
society kept changing, especially politically

I guess I mean that sometimes I take a break from playing and writing and even listening to music and try other things only to realize that its really the thing i enjoy the most, and sometimes when I feel burned out on it it gets depressing knowing I don't enjoy other things in the same way, and when the passion fades here and there for the love of music nothing else fills the void if that even makes sense?

I can’t believe how hard working rural American farmers and other salt of the earth people just couldn’t relate to that!

I haven't graduated from the 70s.
80s and beyond is still foreign to me.

My dad listened to Les Paul. I listened to Slayer. My sons are not into music, and neither of them want to have children. Slayer destroys bloodlines.
