Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on June 03, 1947)

Happy Birthday Dave Alexander—the one and only bass genius who laid down unforgettable grooves for The Stooges! Your iconic rhythms continue to make us wanna ‘Search and Destroy’ birthday cakes everywhere. Seriously, has anyone else ever played bass lines that effortlessly screamed punk rebellion and cake-smashing fun simultaneously? We think not.

From 'Gimme Danger' to every legendary live performance, you've kept every rhythm pulse-pounding, loud, and delectably edgy. May this year bring you less stage dives gone wrong—and even fewer bass-strap malfunctions. Stay as timelessly cool as your riffs, Dave—we salute you today with loud amps turned up to 11!
