"Rock n roll" has lost most of it's steam. There's nowhere to go. Country actually has more talented artists these days. And I would go as far as to say that there's more real rock n roll in country music now than in "rock".

Ha! That means you know some good country artists!
Could you give me some names? I'm slowly trying to check out the old stuff, but don't know anything new apart from Sheryl Crow, I think (and I'm not really interested in her stuff) |

Word To Your Mother Baby!
Most good music are on small record labels.
I like a good mixture of %60 Rock and Roll, %20 Blues and %20 Raw Country.
There is a GREAT radio station just 20 miles from my kitchen.
Have a listen, they really play some great music.

Yeah loads of them. For me I like Dolly Parton or at least some of it...but I like her as a person a whole lot more. So alot of her songs I will listen to just out of respect even though they don't really turn me on that much....
George Jones is allright. Cash and June Carter of course. The Mavericks, Hank & Jr. I haven't heard much from Hank Williams 3, Willie, but we'll see...he following a tough act. We'll see, I think with the passing of Johnny Cash, the dice have been rolled again, its a new era now.

truth is- you're 100% correct,its over and it ain't coming back.young kids don't even listen to rock anymore,they listen to rap and r&b so theres no one at home listening to say.. jeff beck and practicing guitar.they are rapping along with eminem.
if you do hear what is passed off as a rock band whats the first thing that comes to mind....
THE FUCKERS CAN'T PLAY !!!!
as far as i can tell rock fell apart during the early 90's-when those grunge bands went there was nobody to come up behind them.you want music...i suggest raggae or blues |

I think that genres like rap-metal and "anger rock" have really put a black eye on what rock is all about. Why do these guys have to scream into the microphone?? Just sing, damn it. Put some melodic feeling into the music; don't crap on it, don't talk about your dad not coming to your little league games and how you were "disturbed" by it, and DON'T call it rock n' roll, you pisshack penisflappers!
However, I can't stop listening to "Elephant"!!!! This is what rock n' roll is all about!!! |

I guess that's from some anniversary party for "Scarface".
Supposedly it's going to be re-released on DVD with extra shiznits. Also, some rappers just released an album dedicated to the movie. |

Yes. The White Stripes album "Elephant" is graced with raunchy and clever guitar hooks, solos, and all of the goods. For just two people playing it's fanfuckingtastic.
"Oh girl, you have no faith in medicine!!!"
I will also pick up the Stones new disc, "Monkey", later tonight at Best Buy.
For the holidays I will send jb the new "Let It Be" album that will come out. He will love it. |

Hey pick me up a 47' Plasma TV for my bedroom while your there My Brother! |
|
|
| Boomy |
I have friends that work at Best Buy. It's kinda hard for them to hook me up with a Flat Planel TV, though.
Shit, I would love to get a new Plasma tv and the new Stones DVD set the same day and just say, "Fuck everything!"
Although, jb has said that he has a plasma tv and he says he has 6 guest rooms at his house. I say "ASS Gathering" in Boca. When the Stones go back to Miami and surrounding areas, it will happen! |

Bands don't get a chance to develop these days. They might come out with one monster CD & then the next one sinks like a lead zeppelin & then they break up. And then the record companies balme me for downloading mp3s. |

I've gotta agree with BOOM that "Elephant" is a thing of beauty. The new Frank Black is sweet, too. |

As sad as it is to say, Rock disappeared with the "hair bands" of the late 80 who, say what you want, still had to be talented musicians to get a label
I get more enjoyment from my 60 year old Leadbelly records than just about any of the horse crap out there today
Real Slim Shady? I wanna kick that little pussy's ass...Mama said knock you out |

Listen to "Reeling in the Years" and tell me that doesn't rock, Sammy. Anyway, as for rock, the groups today are all awful. There's four types I hate; angst-ridden ock, pointless angry metal, nauseating punk-rock and rap-rock. All of it is as shallow, shameless and attempting to cash in as rock has ever been. Punk is now another terrible sub-genre. It's been pumped full of bubblegum values and terrible AM-like melodies. Not one big, popular artist gets my attention except maybe the White Stripes. I wish there was more of that type of music. Jack White is awesome. People make too much out of his guitar skills saying he's the best ever, one of the, blah blah. No, he ain't. He's just damn good in a Ron Asheston (of the Stooges) or Joe Strummer way. |

OK- OLD Steely Dan rocks.....I actually liked them until Aja. Loved Pretzel Logic and Katy Lied back in the day. There are some good rock bands out there, you just have to find 'em. Labels only want "sure things" anymore- and unfortunately their idea of a "sure thing" usually sucks. The record industry has gone to shit anyway, and I for one, couldn't be happier. The more the major labels suffer, the better. The little labels are the ones releasing anything decent, unfortunately, they're often owned by one of the majors. |

I know there are some great bands out there, I just mentioned the popular ones. There's great stuff being made. If only the big record companies would toss out the trashy bands who are basically clones of each other. There's lousy bands that get contracts more than great bands because record companies think they can mold the crap into marketable radio sound-alikes. Personally, I have no sympathy for all the "losses" of sales they've had based on downloading. If they were smart, they'd have capitalized on it long ago and stopped ramming 20 dollar CDs down our fucking throats. Some chains give great prices, but the labels produce CDs less expensively than it took for vinyl and cassette yet charge more. So, obviously they make more money. Can't they afford to go back to pre-CD levels? Greedy bastards. Start packaging some great acts and ones that matter to real music and they'll find new success. Then again, a trend will come along that they'll clone to death until it gets overdone.
Yes, Steely Dan rocked until Aja where they toned it down to more jazzy ambient settings which I still love, but I prefer Pretzel Logic and Can't Buy a Thrill. |

In a few years, when the zombie holocaust is in full swing, mankind (us) will rue the day we let rock die. Why? Cause their will be no power. No electricity. No power means, no jerk working a turntable and telling gullible fuckers "this is MY music, when he's putting on a couple of "yeah, uh huh, mother-fucker" on top of a 70's beat, made by some one else. Yes, we will pay. Sitting alone in the dark, drinking warm home made beer, because no one will know how to play percussion, or piano, or acoustic guitar or stand-up bass, or saxa-ma-phone, or even a harmonica. So there will be no music. Truly, the living will envy the dead.It's all your fault, fellow Rocks Offers. And mine. Because we didnt try hard enough. We didnt get our little brothers and sisters and brain wash them enough. We didnt convert enough friends. Us guys didnt promise to marry enough ugly bitches, in return for them liking the stones. You girls didnt bonk enough fugly blokes, on the promise you'll do anything (anything!!) if old ugly man just buys a stones cd or concert ticket, or rang up a radio station and say "hello, bald ugly but rich fucker here, i want (he will read from a note written for him) Brown Dugar played please". Nup, we stuffed up. So remember, when that zombie is chomping on your bum, and some dick wad in a bandanna and baggy pants is trying to play a guitar upside down with a LP record instead of a plectrum..Its all OUR fault! |
