Who will save rock and roll?

[LeadMagnet]

Britney, Christina, Jessica, & some skinn white blond girl, will save rock & roll.

Only new rock band I have liked in years. They remind me a lot of the Rolling Stones mixed with AC/DC and a touch of the Beatles.

...and The Darkness, in my opinion.

Unrelated, but where have you been, Fingolfin? Long time no see.

Hey, Ned. I got a job in Nashville that doesn't allow me to OT all day long like the last two I had in Knoxville.

Rock n Roll died when John Bonham died. It took about 10 years to expell its last breath, but after that, it's just been the corpse twitching.

 

[mzkhadir]

Queens of the Stone Age

 

[Gibsons]

Tool
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Dredg
Queens of the Stoneage
Porcupine Tree

.... well, okay none of them will save Rock n Roll. But at least there's something worth saving.

Nice Wilco reference.

Thought they might be the ones, but Jeff is too busy trying too hard.

Elliott Smith made one hell of a rock infested pop album right before he died.

But there's no band out there right now on a major label making what I think we're talking about. There are plenty griding it out in the obscurity of independent labels and no airplay. God I hate ClearChannel and the major labels...

Sometimes I wish nobody would. After 50 years maybe it's time to just let it die. Rock and roll music used to be about the lives, experience and angst of ordinary teenagers - now it's mostly about its own mythology. It's completely irrelevant to anyone under 25 or so.

Young people need music about their own lives. not some endless loop of rehashed baby-boomer nostalgia.

The Ramones said it first!

Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go

Do you remember Hullabaloo,
Upbeat, Shinding and Ed Sullivan too?
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio?
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio?

Do you remember Murray the K,
Alan Freed, and high energy?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century

Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh

Will you remember Jerry Lee,
John Lennon, T. Rex and OI Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century

uhm i can think of a thousand other bands before incubus that compress their music heavily. incubus' SCIENCE album is nicely done, and their newest isn't that bad.

Thank you. Incubus is definitely one of the better rock bands out there. I just wish Dirk hadn't left.

Then the need to get off their creative asses and make some music.

Yeah I've heard some good stuff on the Alternative stations but it seems like the Record Companies aren't interested in developing these New Artists like they were just 10 years ago.

 

[AbAbber2k]

Speaking about rock & roll dying... last night I was watching the ass end of American Idol when that cocky b1tch Constantine got up on stage and masacred Bohemian Rhapsody... then Simon, the guy who rips on everyone... called it an amazing performance. WTF?!?!ONE

 

[AMDZen]

I agree. Except I think Rock and Roll is dead. Out of all the new bands on the radio today, 1 or 2 may have some talent. But I'm just not into the whole "Pop Punk" trend right now. And all the rest is usually too hard (metal).

Depends on what record company. The big 5 are worthless though I admit (well they still have some great bands signed to them, but for the most part it seems to me that they care absolutely nothing about the music and everything about what will sell).

 

[eigen]

There are plenty of innovative and fresh bands in the Hardcore/Metal gerne.

 

[Mr N8]

You just listen to the wrong stuff.

Satriani
Eric Johnson
Dream Theater

Those guys all have talent and know how to use it.

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK!!!!

Unfortunately, AC/DC doesn't find themselves doing much saluting these days

It was originally "amazingly bad performance" but the editor decided to get funny.

It depends what kind of music you define as rock. I like heavy music, and metal = rock as far as I'm concernced, but I listen to softer stuff too. I think it's the no talent punks like Blink182, POD, Linkin Park, and all the other "modern rock" bands that spoil it's image. I definitely think we had it better in the early 90's, with Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and even earlier there's Metallica, Van Halen, but recenlty there have been some good bands as well, like Staind, Lacuna Coil, Opeth, and some others I cant remember right now.

The problem is, most people get their music taste from MTV, corporate radio, and their fad-following friends. And that's how no talent crap becomes popular, I still rememer when ppl listened to ska, and I thought it was the stupidest thing ever. Well, looks like now most people are just too lazy to think for themselves, so they listen to what other people tell them is good, even if it's total crap.

I think both ska and metal are the stupidest things ever.
