Don't listen to the radio only then claim that rock is 'dead.'

Well SG... remember that Nirvana were the biggest band at the time of Kurt's death, so you can't really say that they were much different from the bands they play on the radio/TV now. Obviously they were better, but my point still stands.

Rock is not dead, if anything it's more alive than it ever has been. They say rock is a way of rebelling, well, since when did rebels watch MTV? IMO it's almost better this way, so that not every dumbass jock with a shower radio can sing along with Trent Reznor.

Hense my reasoning for saying this:

I understand your viewpoint. Radio is rebellious. I am just a little aggrovated that in order to hear the aforementioned 'rebellious' rock I am forced to listen to one station and one station only, and that is after midnight.

Music is rebellious... that is what it is supposed to be in my opinion. An ability to say what you want when you want. The meaning of music is lost.

I agree with your "dumbass jock" remark. And it was amusing as well.

It is the guys like Mettalica, Creed and Kid Rock that keep rock alive

Metallica? 🙄 Kid Rock? 🙄

Creed are decent... but that is as far as I will go. I like Mark Tremontti's (spelling) style, so I guess that is half of the reason

Dude, have you heard the Mettalica song "Enter Sandman" the part where hes tucking his child in at night is just ere and awsome. That song turned me into a fan.

lol, Metallica maybe....but creed and kid rock? no chance
and tbh Metallica arent even keeping it alive atm, theyre faultering imo

The cool thing about kid rock is that he bleds rock, rap and country into one good song

Pretty much the reason I dont like Metallica anymore is because of that song. Well, half of that album anyways.

That song is the very best metal song in the world.

SG> I didn't mean radio was rebellious, I meant just the opposite of that lol... Because they play the same crap on the radio as they do on TV.

Slayer - Raining Blood or Seasons in the abyss

No, it is not. That song marked the downfall of Metallica.

Good point there... I actually quite like the classical station here.

🤘 CLASSICAL!!!!! .. 😆

It is better then most of the crap that is spoon fed to impressionable youth. IE Saliva

I don't mean to be a b!tch, but I think thats a little rich coming from someone with a Puddle Of Mudd lyric in their sig 😬

Trust me, I hate Puddle of Mudd as much as the next person, but the line is fitting for a personal matter.

from my perspective (ie the bands i listen to, and have listened to) i think that Rock (obviously may be a different subgenre of metal etc) is gettin better atm.

Theres loads of bands out there pushing boundaries, and developing, and in cases completely reinventing Rock

Tool
NIN
Mars Volta
Dillinger EP

some may not be pushing out in the way that people want or like, but theyre all pushing none-the-less, and thats only a few ive named off the top of my head

For someone who did the same stuff that Tool and TMV did, look for Mahavishnu Orchestra

Some people talk about Nirvana, and to be honest, they were waaaaaay too overrated. Yea yea yea, so they were one of the originators of grunge, and from my home state. But they were way too overrated, while many people are too underrated.

And classical, jazz and blues has it really bad too. I was just making a point to all the idiots who think that rock died in 1979. But yeah....jazz and blues have it real god damn bad.
