You have no idea how many kids love Led Zeppelin. I teach guitar for a living so I see it everyday. The video game GuitarHero has created a whole new generation of classic rock fans. Watch as ACDC sells out across the country. Zeppelin is probably the most revered band out there—far exceeding the Beatles or the Stones, or any new band. Modern rock is pretty lame, even to the kids. Outside of the Foo Fighters, there aren’t many rock bands at all that kids like. They all like the classic stuff. Unless they are little emo fruitcakes.

That's great news. They have to give up that stupid rap/hip hop/hoodlum music and get with something that's part of their cultural inheritance

Yeah. I mean, the kids I meet are all guitar students, so it’s probably a skewed sample, but it is encouraging. That video game Guitar Hero has been a tremendous boon to the guitar industry. It has led many, many kids to take up the guitar for real.
