There was a time when Guns N Roses was the biggest rock band in the world. Axl Rose decided to put the N-Word in a song. The heads of the music industry in New York decided that was it. No more!
These white men in rock bands had been defining the pop music world for 50 years and that had to end. That was going to change right now!
It did. Don’t believe me? My wife was in the room when it happened. You will never see straight white men with any kind of aggression or sexual potency mass marketed in the music industry again. Never!
Plenty of guys out there play guitar like nothing you’ve ever seen. The public will never see them. The doors were closed to the mainstream.
Yep. These days it's rappers singing about money, fast cars, women, and partying, the stuff hair bands used to sing about in the 80s. I'll tell you what, you never saw more hot women that you'd see at a Poison or Bon Jovi concert in 1987.
These days, you've got metal acts singing about hobbits and elves and crap and there isn't a female in sight.
