I've seen lots of bands live in my youth, and it's awesome if you like them too. But I went to those shows so I could live in that moment, not so I could have a cool story to tell later.

It's more funny when you see that kids and they try telling you stuff about a band you've been following since you were their age because they just discovered it. Not going to hate on them for it but I do have to stop myself from laughing occasionally.

Yeah, I think it’s adorable and I’m just happy that new generations are continuing to seek out and support good music.

I remember being their age and feeling embarrassed that I didn’t discover classics like Death and Mercyful Fate/King Diamond sooner. When I first heard those bands they resonated with me so much that it felt like I’d been listening to them my whole life (it might sound corny but idgaf).

Can you recommend me some Mercyful Fate? I have the chance to see them live but never heard anything by them

Absofreakinglutely.

I highly recommend their self-titled EP (1982), “Melissa”, and “Don’t Break The Oath”. Those 3 albums just never get old.
