Is Rock Dead?
OK, there were monster threads about best rap albums, best freestylers, yadda yadda. Hip hop is cool and all (I still have tapes of DJ Red Alert on 98.7 KISS FM--now that's old school for ya), but how come there's no discussion of some serious, kick-ass, tear-the-roof-off rock n' roll? Maybe those people are right who say that rock music has sucked in the decade since Cobain killed himself. Or maybe I just haven't kept up. I dunno, has anybody put out a "Who's Next" in recent years? A "Nevermind"? Hell, how about an "Appetite for Destruction"? So, which is it? Rock Is Dead? Or Long Live Rock? |

Young Heart Attack. Check 'em out for free at beggars.com. Best hard rock I've heard in many years(Datsuns 1st album,too). They are kinda fruity but The Darkness was fun.And what about Velvet Revolver?
YHA rules over all of them,though. Seriously,take a few minutes and check them out. |

Re: Is Rock Dead?
If you live in NYC and are asking this you haven't spent much time around the Lower East Side. There are 4-5 clubs with 4 garage and postpunk acts like every night.

Re: Is Rock Dead?
Just checked out YHA on that site--not bad, thanks. Thing is, doesn't seem to me there's much mass appeal (or lasting appeal) to this music. Same goes for most of the bands playing down at Arlene Grocery or wherever. One of the reasons for Nirvana's popularity was the way they married punk sensibility with catchy melodic hooks--maybe they just caught lightning in a bottle. |

Re: Is Rock Dead?
I basically listen to rock. I don't like most hip-hop.
Rock is good for the angry white kid surburbia crowd. I listen to Trapt, Korn, Papa Roach, Velvet Revolver, etc. I also listen to music like Sublime, Pepper, Slightly stoopid, rock/reggae/surf whatever you want to call it. Rock is still alive, it's just not that MTV mainstream anymore. |

Re: Is Rock Dead?
I think that what used to be rock has not been diluted and moved into other musical genres...Screw Rock, listen to METAL, lots of good metal if you have an open mind [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
