Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on September 29, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Alex Skolnick! From shredding solos with Testament in thrash metal masterpieces like "Practice What You Preach" and "Souls of Black," to layering majestic riffs alongside Savatage, you've challenged our eardrums and inspired generations of guitarists. Clearly, you're proof that talent never rusts—even after years of relentless fretboard gymnastics!

But what truly sets you apart isn't just your blazing skill but also your bold versatility—from dive-bombing distortion to jazzy improvisations. Whether melting faces at legendary stadium gigs or charming jazz aficionados with the Alex Skolnick Trio, you consistently remind us why guitar heroes never go out of style. Keep rocking forever!
