Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on October 14, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Chris De Garmo! Whether you're shredding guitar solos or soaring through the skies as a jet pilot, you always manage to hit those high notes—literally and figuratively. Your legendary riffs with Queensrÿche still echo in our ears; "Silent Lucidity" remains timeless proof that rock stars can indeed lull us into sweet dreams.

And let's not forget your impressive transition from stage lights to cockpit controls—a move smoother than any power ballad solo you've ever played. Here's hoping this year brings even more thrilling adventures both onstage and above the clouds. Keep rocking (and flying) strong!
