Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on March 31, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Patrick Lachman! May your riffs stay heavy and vocals fierce—just like those epic Damageplan days. Whether shredding with Diesel Machine or rocking stages alongside Halford, you've always kept the metal flame burning bright (and probably melted a few faces along the way).

Here's to another year of unforgettable solos and powerhouse performances that remind us why you're still one of rock's finest talents. Keep turning it up loud enough for neighbors everywhere to appreciate—or at least tolerate—the greatness you bring.

Rock on forever, Pat; age is just a number—but volume goes all the way up!
