When they are correct and in the additional notes, I do not see a problem with that.

I actually think that's a pretty neat idea. Sometimes I'm shocked with how old the members of the bands I like are. :lol:

It's funny to think that some people as old as my grandfather make the music my grandfather could never understand.

How old IS your grandfather? 50 or 60 something, or 40 something?!

The guy doing Decibel magazine is 50 plus and his playlist is full of death\thrash.

No. Studies show that Manowar related penile products reduce attraction rates by 57%.

How do you know it is a non regular user? How do you know the user is doing it for points? If someone can add additional info then it is a Veteran, and points really don't matter from that point on. So, bravo!

I added a couple of them, I double check from a number of sources.

And somebody deleted some of them already. There are birth dates here on archives for some famous bands a long time. Shall we delete all of them now? It's easy to delete info, it's not easy to gather it.

Wow, you have a young grand-dad. The veterans of the metal scene have nearly the same age as my dad (born 1948).

You've got right, this work can't be a point whoring (except one by one for exemple by Deep Purple etc.

) or is worthless, because it took ME (probably the finder of this idea :headbang:

) a lot of time to find in the web who, when, where was breed...
