Hey man, where'd rock go? At my school the other people play music over the P.A. system, and all they ever play is ****ing shit!! It makes my stomach churn. Some S.O.A.D or some Sabbath. Is that to much to ask? You can't camplane either. They just say bring somthing in, but there anceint peice of shit Stereios don't play mp3s.Damn!!

Man rock isn't dead it's just lost its focus

well i didn't mean its DEAD, dead, I meant it was simply sleeping.

depends were you look for it

Rock send me a postal from South America. He is fine and send you greetings. He will be back soon.

Rap is pretty much dead too. It's all the same lyrics with the same beats. Not like back in, say, Tupac's day when all the songs weren't about money and women, and the beats actually involved some thought. The point is, music has taken a dreaded backseat to fame. Hopefully fame will give music the wheel again one day, though.

I saw yeah yeah yeahs this year at leeds festival...and they were amazing! 👆

it's not dead, its just changing, and if you dont like the kind of style its evolved to, dont worry, because rock always swings around after a period of time, and old styles come back. and anyway, all rock music does not suck at the moment, and metal is better than its ever been (in my opinion) and all music, especially rock, evolves with time, so maybe it isnt rock thats bad, its your tastes that are dated.

oh and plentpak, if your a fan of The Who, DO NOT listen to the latest Limp Bizkit single. you will be outraged.

Yeah I've heard its horrible. He did Behind Blue Eyes, right? I heard he even changed some of the lyrics. Luckily I haven't yet heard the single, but already I am outraged. But if you want to hear some REALLY horrible cover songs, so horrible they'll make you sick, listen to the ones New Found Glory did. Actually you probably shouldn't listen to them. The sickening perversion of these songs is so great that you will want to kill yourself.

rock is a classic, but i have to say rap is taking over a bit.

rap is dead too..look at those rappers making the same song again and again and the lyrics are about the same thing exept for some rappers..rap died with the death of the great ones like Eazy-E,Tupac,Big Pun,Biggie

the good Alive rappers are not around anymore like KRS one,wu tang.method man( i wounder when will he put out a new record its been awhile)

and alot more, look at now days mainstream F*cks that have no talent what so ever..puppets tothere lables like 50 cent,nelly, fa rule

EVEN DMX'S NEW ALBUM " GRAND CHAMP" IS REALLY LAME AND WEAK.i got hooked off with this crap album!

Out of all the half-decent rock bands, a good part of them have been around for ages. Perhaps it's this longevity in the music industry that makes them so good? These bands become ageless, so even in, what, 10, 15, 20 years, you'll still remember them from the 90's and before. It's kind of nice, in a way, don't you think?

they didnt just change the lyrics. you know the bit in the middle of Behind Blue Eyes where they go into a big guitar solo? well in the Limp Bizkit version they've repalced that with a load of electrical sounds and weird distorted voices 😘

and please dont talk to me about New Found Glory, last time they were on TV i had to forcibly stop myself from deliberately falling on a bread knife.

Ah, I think I worked out why; the movie it's for, Gothika, is apparently about a psychiatric doctor person thingy getting possessed by some supernatural force that makes her kill her husband. And stuff. Sounds watchable, personally. Stuff like that (strange noises/voices) is generally linked with the supernatural and surreal.
