Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on August 02, 1977)

Happy Birthday to Marc Rizzo—guitar hero extraordinaire and shredder-in-chief! From crafting melodic mayhem with Soulfly's crushing riffs, to pioneering grooves as a founding member of Ill Niño, your blazing fretwork continues inspiring air guitarists worldwide. Rumor has it every time you hit that brutal solo, musicians reevaluate their life choices.

Here's hoping this birthday brings more face-melting solos (and fewer snapped strings) than ever before! May your days ahead stay loud enough to frighten neighbors yet graceful enough for critics' approval. Keep kicking musical boundaries aside—you haven’t aged at all; you're simply upgrading the metal legend firmware yearly. Rock on forever!
