rock is dead

There's barely any good new hard rock anymore. The system of a down album is OK, but in a regular time BYOB would never get the play time it gets. This little band, skillet, is pretty cool. Don't know if you all have heard of them yet, I bet they're going to rise up. I heard Stone Sour is coming out with a new album, that should be nice......

Now the local station is mostly playing older stuff and 90's crap. Like rage against the machine, machine head, pearl jam, allice in chaines, soundgarden, etc.

As far as the "old" stuff I'm hearing a fair amount of ozzie, ac/dc, led zepplin, hendrix, GNR, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Lynyrd Skyrnyrd is one of the best bands ever, and Sweet home Alabama is the only song I seem to be able to stand hearing over and over.

We need another great band to come through. I don't get why the Limp Bizkit album had now singles, I personally thought it was pretty good concidering it is just half an hour. And now there is no rock on mainstream radio or on mtv2. And mtv should start eating dog shit for all I care, it is the most poser-esque station on the plannet. I whatch PBS more. And they just promote crappy punk rock from bands with groupies who are virgins and hip hop shit from the cars that need mufflers.

well.... music these days sucks, everyones all into "50 cent,akon *names more chav like songs*. but their is still a sense of rock and roll. theres nothing more i love than busting out a pink floyd cd or some black sabbath. most of the people at my shcool are like "wannna be" chavs, but i do know a few ppl who also like good ole rock and roll like me. i dont agree that rock and rll is dead, but i admit it is deftinly dying down. but the future awaits, and rock and roll cud once again lead the world!

hhhhahaha so true!! lets not forget how bad Rolling Stone sucks too! Back in the day it seemed like a decent publication.. anyway \m/ :cool:

greenday seem alright....

but im more into old stuff, jimi hendrix,zed zep, pink floyd ect. ect.

but now they where tys n shit. how fucked is THAT?
and I mean new rock is dead, they spirit lives for ever. Im saying like, MLK is dead, he is dead man, no more MLK, but his impact lives, when he died all of his acomplishments didnt disapear

there is no such thing as rock these days.. i dont even want to see names like green day, system of a down?? mentioned... that is not rock.

Rock is much more than the music. It needs passion and originality. There's gotta be more behind the music than trying to make a quick buck.

wooman is right on .... it's dying down, but I'm optomistic that in the near future it's gonna explode bigtime. We need more than one good band, we need a revolution.

It seems these days you have to dig around to find good music. You'll never hear anything decent on the radio anymore (at least where I live). I have a good friend who writes new rock reviews for a website, he knows all about great music that most ppl don't haven't heard about, yet. No bullshit, either, if it sucks, he'll say, "This fucking sucks!!" No sugar coated candy assing around. I'll call him and get the link for the website, maybe you'll find something worth your time on there you like. He's never steered me wrong.

that would be excelent maryjanemama :)

Doesn't anybody see that people are always complaing that <insert type of music they like> isn't as good as it used to be. Just as people are always complaing that kids have never been as <badly behaved/disrespectful/evil> as they are now, or that the world has never been in such a bad state as it is now. There are tons of good rock bands around. When the kids of today grow up they'll be saying exactly what you're saying now, and they'll be pining for the music that they use to listen to 'back in the day'. You just gotta be more open-minded. :)

I agree to an extent. I think people will always dislike what the next generation listens to just because they grow acustomed to their own generation, and the previous generations music. They learn to like what they know, and when they hear new unknown things, they will tend to dislike it. I however think that we are experiencing more than simple changes in tastes. In recent years mass media has played more and more of a roll in dictating what we listen to. The fact that someone said there was no good rock on MTV or the radio just goes to show, how dependent we are on mass media to tell us what to listen to. This dependency has lead to the gradual decline in the quality of popular music. Meaning, though there was, is, and always will be good music, reguardless of whether it is of a styling that I enjoy, there is a general tendency because of mass media for the popular music to degenerate into meaningless, tasteless garbage.

Awwz u changed your icon! purdyy. :D Yea whats that link?
Seems like some people could use it, if all they are doing is depending on the radio and tv to feed them music. those Suckers!!! If they cant figure out that theres a massive underground of music then keep on being miserable little people, waiting for me to step on em to reach my way to ever higher zeniths of superiority. Thats what i say.

Its All Because Of The Commercialization Of All Music. Bg music companies are just out to make money these days. They go out looking for some sucker who has minimal if no musical ability and dress em all nice so they look good to the mtv audiences, then they bring in some guys to make a beat or to write a hit song next thing u kno u got another poser band on the top of the billboard charts. I cant even listen to new music. The only radio station i can listen to is the classc rock station where they play Led Zepplin and pink floyd and The Doors and Janis Joplin. Practiacally the only music i can listen to now is classic rock, Reggae, or my favorite band sublime. I wanna hear some original new music but all of todays bands sound exactly the same to me. Like Crap!!!!!!

Again, if you look to the big companies, TV and radio, then you are going to get big company music. There is some GREAT new music, but your not going to find it unless you dig around a little bit.

Fuck that I've been waiting near five years for a new Tool album and it better fucking be good.

well a perfect circle is as good if not better than tool. Yeah, i usually listen to the classic rock station around here or sometimes alternative. I have one friend who's really into hip-hop that kinda got me into the grave diggas and a tribe called quest. Hip-hop is great when your rocking the bong. I also like the album Homework by Daft Punk, it's fun for partying.The only really solid rock bands being played in the mainstream media right now are Audioslave and Queens Of The Stone Age. Songs for the deaf is an awsome album. Rock and Roll has certainly reached a new low, but there's definitly hope. All this new shit is so 1 dimensional. Ppl will get sick of it. Rock will be music's saviour.

pink floyd, jimi henxdrix , led zeplin, the verve , oasis. lydys farm.

classics :D

who here heard of lydys farm? i think they wrote a song about when they were at a gig and they were smoking weed and got busted :( got busted so they wrote song abou it :D kick ass

and they wrote a song called dream seller or somthign where they siong about thier dealers lol. aamzing shit they are.

old school for life

Yep all music today sucks. All that rap that they play. I cant believe what some kids listen to. Especially white kids. They all are crankin this gangster shit. When i listen to rap i cant help but laugh because i cant take the music serious. Mike Jones, 50 cent, Jay z...........what the fuck. They all suck. MTV ruined music. I also think all those little punk bands suck too.

hey, im white and i dont like all that shit. idiot. pink floyd, led zep oh fuck it i cant be arsed to name em all again for ppl who skim read.

It's discouraging to see people down on rap. You're just listening to the wrong stuff. Give A Tribe Called quest a listen or The Roots. There IS quality hip-hop that isn't "gangsta." You don't have to be black to enjoy hip-hop and just like you don't have to be white to enjoy zepplin. When did race ever have anything to do with music.

EXACTLY!!

Very good words!

The roots - what they do - great song!
common - chi city
common - faithful

and people like common, kanye west and many more. it aint all about guns and knives.

im a HUGE fan of hip hop.

Common says : "So many raps about rims suprised niggers aint become tyres"

people like 50 cent are shit they talk about money, rims, cars, guns and shit that aint music.

ppl like 2pac and biggie they told stories!!

i hate hip hop and rap....

i dont like some music but just cos i dnt feel it dnt mean i hate it and if i did hate it i wouldnt say so. E V E R Y O N E I S D I F F E R A N T

I actually enjoy a variety of underground rap/psychedelic rap including such brilliant artists as Jamie Madrox and Monoxide Child.

im not in2 rap but im not goin2 knock on ne1 who does but ne ways rock is dying good rock at least i can honestly say i dont no of 1 good rock band that has come out in years the 90s had a few good bands like (311,red hot chili peppers,sublime,and green day and btw rage against the machine is a good band) but has there been ne thing better than floyd,zeppelin,ac/dc and hendrix in the last few decades not even close and mtv does suck all those wanna be bands like yellowcard and shit jesus

I only listen to Classic Rock, so no worries for me.

i love classic rock

But yesterday!!!!

It seems there are a few morons who mosh to anything. Billy Corgan was commented on how people who were moshing during 1979 didn't get it. A bunch of friends went to see O.A.R. a month or so back and apparently they stopped the show because of moshing and crowd surfing. The said something along the lines of, everyone quit acting like tough guys, relax and we can start playing music again and having a good time.

My good llama brother Word of Advice....GET OUT OF THE ICE AGE=) move down south, Southern Rock is still Pretty damn Awesome down here. I kno you kno what Southern Rock is good buddy=) Msg me on Aim next time ur on bro.

music I like: led zeppelin, pink floyd, black sabbath, the red hot chili peppers, rage, stone temple pilots, jane's addiction, the doors, tribe called quest, swollen members, beastie boys, rush, primus, king crimson, ccr, lynyrd skynyrd, oasis, daft punk, a pefect circle, bob marley, faith no more, the animals, radiohead, the foo fighters, supertramp, incubus (the older stuff), hendrix, the beatles, grave diggas, some nwa, blue oyster cult, cream, queens of the stone age and audioslave. Of course there's others but that's a pretty good list of what I like
