Rock and Roll is coming back baby!!

[painted_black]

U2 is in the midst of a $300 million+ tour to support a multi-platinum, critically praised #1 album, the Stones are still selling out stadiums after 43 years, Green Day has made the best rock album of the new milennium so far, My Chemical Romance has broken through big, System of a Down, Springsteen, NIN, Audioslave, and Disturbed have all had #1 albums this year. Motley Crue is back together, as is Judas Priest

It's about damn time rock made a comeback. Rap, pop, and country have been assaulting an unsuspecting American public for far too long now.

With new releases from SOAD and Korn this year and new Tool, Pearl Jam, Slayer, and Rob Zombie next year...it look like rock is finally back in the limelight

1. I think hip hop outsells rock.

But yeah.

Your failure to mention QOTSA makes me sad. :(

[painted_black]

2. yes, hip hop outsells rock

but that don't mean shit

And sorry, but I didn't like QOTSA's new album. I thought they were trying too hard

[redqueen]

I think they were just evolving.

:hi:

3. Korn still together, I thought their one guy went Fundie

:shrug:

[painted_black]

4. oh...he did

and swear to God he became one of the most annoying people in the universe afterwards

[LynneSin]

6. Is he still with the band

Korn doesn't come off too fundie from their music. I would think they'd get someone more to their liking!

[painted_black]

9. heck no

Korn is defintely not for fundies

5. "Rap, pop, and country have been assaulting..." what are you saying?

:shrug:

[painted_black]

7. they all suck

rap is all the same, nuthin but a hoes, drugs, and money attitude that leaves a bad impression upon the listener

Pop and country don't need an explanation

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Welcome aboard

[painted_black]

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. Whatever... I love the Kanye West song that's all over the radio.

"That rock and roll is so awful... I tried to listen to it and it's all just about drugs and sex. For every Dylan you get 20 Whitesnakes and Poisons."

17. You really don't listen to much rap music do you?

Theres tons of rap and hip hop that does not embrace money, hoes, and guns attitude.

Warn you now yer gonna get savaged for being so narrow and general in your statement. You would have been much better off stating that in your experience the hip hop you have been exposed to is" insert your overly generalized statement here".

Try to be a bit more enlightened next go around.

13. Rock 'n roll is old, tired, and worn out

There have been no major new ideas since the '60s.

There have been no minor new ideas since the '80s.

round and round and round it goes, recycling old ideas, most of which are based on older better ideas like blues and jazz, and done better the first time.
