Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on December 12, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Dave Meniketti! You're the guitar wizard who effortlessly bridges heavy metal thunder and soulful blues—proving that shredding solos and heartfelt riffs can coexist in perfect harmony. Whether you're lighting up stages with Y&T classics like "Mean Streak" or diving deep into your solo blues adventures, you always remind us why guitars were invented: to make jaws drop and heads bang.

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic performances, timeless tunes, and plenty of reasons to crank those amps up to eleven. Keep rocking strong—you've got more licks than a puppy convention! Cheers to you, Dave!
