Good rock is certain Country these days.
Chris Stapleton is pretty good.
Do they actually have Country Music these days?
I can’t stand Kiss, but he is right about this.
Last I checked it was all the same song with the snapping fingers.
Rock never dies. It just sleeps for a very long time and eventually wakes up again.
thanx.
I thought rock was dead.
He sure jumped thru a lot of hoops to show rock isn’t dead for some people.
His wife is so hot he has earned the right to say anything.
Looks like Gene struck a nerve.
I listen to classic rock on the radio. And the rock bands that I see at Red Rocks have got musicians who are in their 40s, 50s, or 60s. WideSpread Panic is the best rock jam band on planet Earth and their lead guitar player has throat cancer. Everything on Classic Rock radio stations is at least 20 years old. I don’t consider Taylor Swift to be Rock Music. Neither Bellie Elish. Rock seems to have moved to the rest homes. I would listen to Kid Rock. Is he in his 40s or 50s?
His band never ‘ruled the roost’... Far from it. They were just a semi-interesting costume band with a few hit songs.
No, it has morphed into “Hick-hop” music.
Simmons isn’t my thing anymore because he’s a libtard. But he is absolutely right... Rock is dead. And the moron offered Pearl Jam that Rock is still alive?
Simmons swatted that away like a fly. They were formed almist 35 years ago.
Name one rock band today that can fill an arena, much less a stadium. There is no Who, Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Kiss, Foghat, Thin Lizzy, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple.
Now it’s all autotuned pop song and dance acts.
Why would you ever confuse those two pop music singers with rock and roll anyway?
What has happened is that certain bands are struggling with the concepts of (1) the creative tank running dry, and (2) that being a commercially successful band means that they can only pose as anti-establishment, one of the defining characteristics of rock, and in fact have inevitably become what they professed to despise. Or failed and are past gone under.
The torch can be passed if certain fists can be persuaded to open. I recall an epic 2007 Crossroads concert wherein rock dinosaurs Jeff Beck and Vinnie Colaiuta featured a 20-year-old bass player named Tal Wilkenfeld. When Beck passed, she said, "Jeff, thank you for believing in me before anyone else did. You stood behind me and told everyone to take me seriously." That's what needs to happen.
he outta know...his band helped make a caricature of rock bands. Looking back, they were down right silly.
I’ve always argued that if KISS played their music without the make-up, no one would listen to them.
White boi rap.
All they both talk about are guns, prison, sex, drugs, alcohol and Cars(Trucks)
If I’m going to crank up the music to 11, even at my old age, I tune in to classic rock. I love my old 70s music and will not give it up.
