Here’s the one time I had a substantial beard. It was fun for a while, but I doubt I’ll grow one again. Unless I live to 100 or something, because at that age you shouldn’t have to shave anymore.

And yes, I’m multiple flavors of nerd. Trying to pull off a Riker here.

The best thing about a beard is that when you eventually shave it off you look instantly 5-10 years younger :wink:

TNG red shirts aren’t as bad as TOS. Red shirts are the command color in TNG. :grin:

I really enjoyed practicing all these lines and realizing I can pull them off with some practice.

But, even playing Hysteria in tempo my wife says “It sounds like bass”

:cry:

Yup, wife votes are the only beard votes that count.

Yeah, I’m pretty guilty of doing the Entwistle “why am I here” gaze. I’ll be sure to stage dive in front of her and give her a solid “o” face sometime!

I’m down to a goatee now, If I rock the full beard, too many people call me Santa. This was last year at a renaissance fair.

The reason I have taken bass playing up again after a hiatus of a quarter century is the bass solo in Vavilon (Kipelov). Sooo beautiful. If I ever manage to nail that, I’ll be a happy girl.

That bass line holds up well in the symphonic arrangement!

First time I’ve heard of Kipelov. Like them, I do. Here’s the original album version for other newbies like me. The singer/BL/founder is Valery Kipelov and the bassist is Alexey Harkov.

And a full 2-hour concert. Vavilon (Babylon) starts at 12:00.

I’m glad you like them. :slight_smile: Yes, metal songs with symphonic orchestra = pure joy.

Modern-day Wagnerian opera. Is there a more metal opera than the “Ring des Nibelungen” suite, often referred as just “The Ring”? I’ve seen the entire around 20 hours live. F’ me! It helps that I speak German, but it’s not necessary.

The four parts, performed over 4 nights.

Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold)
Die Walküre (The Valkyrie)
Siegfried
Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)
