Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on June 06, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Munky! May your day be filled with more riffs than candles—because let's face it, if we put a candle for every epic guitar solo you've shredded through the years, we'd need a fire extinguisher handy. From "Blind" to "Freak on a Leash," your strings have screamed louder and rocked harder than anyone else in nu-metal history.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more success (and fewer broken guitar strings). Keep rocking stages worldwide and inspiring generations of headbangers. Remember: age is just a number—but legendary riffs are forever timeless. Rock on, James!
