Happy birthday to a living legend of rock n’ roll and heavy metal! I’m sure I can speak for all of us that we all hope he has the best day ever relaxing, taking care of himself, and spending quality time with those he loves!
Let’s do something fun! If you feel like it, write a comment about one thing you wish you could tell him if you ever met him. Or if you have met him, what did you say?
I know if I got to meet him, I would tell him thanks for everything he’s done. Because he doesn’t know it, but he’s one of my singer’s biggest influences not just in music, but in life. She grew up loving astronomy and philosophy, so when The Stage came out, she was beyond thrilled to see all the things he had taken interest in. I would also tell him that he inspired her to not take what people say so literally, and also is a role model for her in the aspects of rising above and beyond all the bullshit and to really let music be your number one passion. When she found out he played piano, she took her studies with it more seriously. She was always told, “If you want to be a singer, that’s all you can focus on if you want to be anything.” But then she found out he helped write a lot of riffs on guitar, arrange things, AND play piano. He also doesn’t seem to care about the petty bullshit drama of the music industry. So all in all, I would tell him thank you for just being his badass self, and for having one of the most amazing voices that quite literally has helped soothe inner trauma for me.
Happy Birthday, M Shadows. You deserve all the world today and more!!! Rest well, bro!

Happy birthday M! Thank you for being such a cool person! Hope you are having a great day with all your loved ones!
At the moment the first thing I would ask him would probably be how is your voice?’ besides that I’d prefer to just have a general conversation with him about music and physics tbh

I haven’t met him but I was lucky enough to get few questions answered by him on reddit and httk deathbat forum so that was kinda cool. I would tell him that his birthday is 2 days after mine and that he inspired me to beat Super Meat Boy (extremely hard game that m shadows said he beat to 100% and I was mindblown how he managed to do it). No matter how hard it got I said to myself I’ll never stop until I beat the game cause if M Shadows can do it, I can do it. It took +40 hours to beat the game and I learned a valuable lesson that sometimes you have to fail over and over again to actually master something and that if you don’t quit that failure will eventually turn into success, all thanks to M Shadows!
