Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on January 16, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Dave Martone! May your day be filled with more shredding solos than candles on your cake. From the electrifying riffs of "Zone" to the sonic brilliance of "Synesthesia," you've proven that fingers can indeed defy physics—and possibly gravity.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success and fewer broken guitar strings. Keep dazzling us with those genre-bending melodies and mind-blowing performances; after all, age is just a number—but epic guitar skills are forever timeless. Rock on, Dave—may your amps always go to eleven!
