Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on August 12, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Mikko Lindstrom! The man whose guitar riffs have melted more hearts than Finnish saunas melt snow. From your legendary solos with HIM to those unforgettable live performances that made us air-guitar shamelessly in our living rooms—your talent is timeless and your style unmatched.

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic stage dives (careful now!), endless applause, and perhaps fewer broken guitar strings mid-solo. Keep rocking the world like only you can; after all, age is just a number—but great music lasts forever. Cheers to Finland's finest guitarist—may your birthday be as electrifying as your riffs!
