He may hunt you down. He may find you. And he may kill you. Unless it costs him money to do so. He would never engage in Glock related homicide unless there's a profit involved. It would be crazy to do it for free. He's talked to James La Brie and he agrees.

I always told my 17 year old son to like what he wants to, and he likes a bit of dub step here and there, but, his main passion is for rock. He's forever listening to Styx or FM or something retro on his way to college.

Me, the Mrs and him go to gigs together all the time, last one was Steel Panther the other week. When the music is a bit too much for the Mrs, me and him go on our own. This year we've seen Dream Theater, Nickelback and we're going to see Testament together next week!

My tastes are very ecclectic and range from Louis Armstrong to Motorhead with a bit of classical music thrown in for good measure!

It was a smart, albeit somewhat logical in a way, move to expose your kid to a lot of different style.]]> Laurent NoticeboardWed, 21 Nov 2012 23:24:32 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920174,920227#msg-920227 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920174,920227#msg-920227

At 13, I went from Count Basie to KISS! As long as my grades were good, my parents did not mind buying me KISS, Whitesnake, AC/DC or Maiden records. But when they went through a more difficult phase, my "noise collection" was threatened by unhappy parents! :-) Overall, my folks have always supported my tastes. My dad - who basically thinks that every new type of music that was invented after 1950 is too modern - always had the curiosity / interest to still listen to some of my stuff. I remember him liking Michael Schenker's "Bijou Pleasurette" or Whitesnake's "Belgian Tom's Hat Trick". My mom was never fond of Ace Frehley's "Shock Me" though! LOL

I have always spoken about "my" music with one of my nieces. She went through her teenage years thinking I am an old fart. She was listening to rap and radio stuff. In her early 20's now, she is taking up drums and loving Iron Maiden, Motorhead and other metal bands. She is even "jealous" of me because I have seen these guys back in their heydays. She is asking questions about how it was back then, etc. and I am happy to indulge :-) I went from "old fart" to "cool Uncle" LOL]]> Laurent NoticeboardWed, 21 Nov 2012 20:27:13 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920174,920210#msg-920210 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920174,920210#msg-920210 Rockhead1 NoticeboardWed, 21 Nov 2012 20:24:57 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920174,920208#msg-920208 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920174,920208#msg-920208
I grew up listening to my dads records predominantly, stuff like Buddy Holly, Bert Weedon, The Four Seasons, Del Shannon, as well as Gene Pitney and Glen Campbell.

I am positive that those early years formed a musical imprint in my mind. Years later when I wasn't really into music and going to a school disco and hearing Kill The King by Rainbow something just 'clicked' in me and my love affair with Hard Rock/Metal began.

Onbviously as a teenager and blasting out stuff like MSG One Night At Budokan I got the whole 'Turn that rubbish down' but ironically now my mum and dad often ask me what albums Ive bought lately and their cd collection now consists mainly of AOR albums......dont think they can handle Slipknot.

So, as a result of music being constantly played in our household and to answer the thread, yes my kids have all picked up a good appreciation for music, and certainly too for our own music. Best though is the fact they are making their own decisions regarding what they do and don't like (their primary choice is of course current pop radio etc but focus more often than not toward Adele/Pink etc).

And fascinating too just what they manage to soak in;

I recently put on a tune from the new Tremonti album and before the vocals had even kicked in my 10yr old son asked if it was the new Creed/Alter Bridge record!? I was proud to say the least cause damned if I could identify with guitarists like that at his age (and for the most part still can't LOL).
