Age is only so important. IT's not nearly as important as dedication and determination. Randy Blythe from Lamb Of God was in his 30s before they ever got national recognition. The guys in Mastodon aren't far behind, and all the guys from Opeth are well into their 30s; I think their keys player might be 40.
And I know how you feel. I'm 23 and I've been playing in a band for 12 years. (Huh?) Yeah. And our drummer recently left, and that kind of ****ed us over, so all we have is our guts and determination, and our music. And yes, we are going make a life out of this. Hopefully a living too.
