Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on February 10, 1979)

Happy Birthday, Paul Waggoner! May your riffs stay heavy and your solos shred harder than ever. From the intricate melodies of "Colors" to the mind-bending complexity of "Automata," you've consistently blown our minds—and occasionally melted faces—with every note you play.

Here's hoping this year brings even more epic guitar wizardry, unforgettable live performances, and perhaps a few less broken strings mid-solo (though we secretly love those spontaneous moments). Keep rocking stages worldwide with Between the Buried and Me; you're not just aging gracefully—you're leveling up in legendary status. Cheers to another trip around the sun!
