While they may spend their days playing bridge, sharing Minions memes on Facebook, and beating all of their 70-something friends at tennis, our grandparents weren't always retirees. Back in their day, they were some of the coolest people out there — just take a look at some of their old photos. 


From motorcycle trips to snaps taken with their bands, here are 22 pics that prove our grandparents were absolutely metal back in their day.
