The real trick to staying young is to find an older audience. My blackened death metal band goes over surprisingly well at the senior citizens home. That crowd really relates to all that death shit. And when my band is their age, we’ll start gigging at funeral homes.

Sounds like a captive audience!

mmmm… I’m thinking retiring in about 5 years, head to the Villages and by that time all the people there will have been into 80s metal and there should be fun gigs lol

I know exactly where you are talking about. Pretty sure you could do that now and in five years your client list would be so massive you could pick and choose gigs. Probably get gifted some gear while you were at it.

Sharvell-Dan is a sucker for clickbait youtube guitar vids. I wouldn't watch anything he posts unless it's a handtruck review.
