Hulton Archive / GettyimagesWhat's the old saying? If it's too loud, you're too old...Well these senior citizens would agree...
First we start off with the guitarist Greg Lynn and the guitar shredding show he put on for the citizens of an old folks home in Philly.
Greg Lynn recently shredded the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower" during a gig. Early in the video, he name-checks himself in the lyrics which is hysterical, and jumps up on a big above-ground fish pond for his solo. The best part is when an old lady in the background tries to sit down on a bench, and falls off into a bush. Don't worry, she's okay.
Now we move on to the most Heavy Metal rebellion move ever! Two men living at a old folks home in Germany decided they really wanted to go see their favorite bands at a Heavy Metal Festival, so they did what anyone would do...
Nursing home officials discovered that the men were missing and alerted police, who eventually found the men at Wacken Open Air, the world's largest heavy metal festival, held every year since 1990 in Wacken, Schleswig Holstein.
Although police found the men "disoriented and dazed," they didn't want to leave the concert.
"They obviously liked the metal festival," police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld told German broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk. "The care home quickly organized return transport after police picked them up."
