I ran across this tonight. Man, all it does is show me how the music today sucks. I think I'm going to dig my cd's and rock out to Black Sabbath, Doors, Led Zepplin, Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Who, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Motorhead, etc for the rest of the week.

Great tune, nice find.

There are "some" decent tunes out there from todays artists, but, you're right there was just such a selection of great groups to choose from then

I agree there are a lot of talented groups and individuals out there now.
To me it is somewhat of the pioneering factor of earlier rock that makes it so great.
Also, I was kicking the musical preference thing around with some friends awhile ago. We came up with the theory that the music you identify with most and enjoy for all your life, is the music that you were exposed to when "certain" things were happening in your life.

You know, I've met plenty of people that have the same issue with their favorite decade of music...

This is why I decided to not limit myself to not trying new music. I've had some grin and bear it years, but I'm not "stuck" in the 80's, though I do have my preferences.

LTL, have you noticed new music kinda goes through cycles, like 50's influences, then 60's influences, 70's influences, and so on?

I think 2006 had a definite pop "new wave" feel to it, and a lot of bands out now are reflecting "New Romantic" influences - like Angels and Airwaves.

The only new band I've gotten into is The Killers. They're kinda like throwing U2, Duran Duran, and Meatloaf along with a truly bizarre vocal style into a blender.

Rock isn't dead. It just smells like it is.

I agree, they are incredable, as is Queensrÿche. But I don't see them setting the world on fire, or making as big a mark on the music world as say Sabbath or Led Zep did. I guess my point in starting this thread was who is the Led Zep, Rolling Stones, Sabbath, AC/DC, etc of today? Who will be remembered by the masses in 30 years? Or where the originators simply amazing because they were the first to do it? I mean, I worhip Hendrix, but clearly anything he did, many people can do better now. Whats amazing, is he somehow invented it, pretty much by taking what existed then, and morphing it into something new. Thats the skill, tallent, and inovation that rocks. Who is doing that now days?

This is a classic from back home...

I think music has become so diverse that its hard for much thats really new and innovative to come around. We won't see another person/band that breaks boundries like Hendrix or Sabbath. There really aren't and boundries left to be broken. in the last 20-25 years the only one I can think of that did anything new was Chuck Schuldiner's band Death. before him there was no such thing as death metal. will people remember that band in 20 years? probably only hard core fans of the genre. stuff goes through more of an evolution now rather than anyone making huge jumps into new styles.

in my opinion I still think we need to bring the guitar solo back to rock music.

I agree about the evolutin thing, perhaps all the big leaps have already been made and no one is ever going to have the impact of being the first ever again. Is for death metal, Maybe I see it different, but I see it as another evolution of metal, coming from hardcore and thrash, a path that just took a darker turn. While I missed the very early stuff, I was heavy into the LA club scene all through the '90's. I saw canibal corpse, sepultura, morbid angel, slayer, metal church, napalm death, obituary, exodus, anthrax, and a lot more I cant remember. Everything from hardcore, deathcore, grindcore, thrash, etc. It all seemed to be bands on a similar path, just at different places at the time. There seemed to be a progression about it. Play faster than Judist Priest and you had Anthrax. Play Anthrax a little harder and you had Slayer. Play Slayer a darker and you had the deathcore bands. Put some better technical players and play Slayer and you had Atheist or Death. Overall, I dont know if any of them left a big enough mark to be called visionary. Perhaps, history will prove me wrong.

My dad used to be all into the Sabbath and stuff when he was younger and still is. Now though he's starting to rock out to stuff liek Avenged Sevenfold (scary as it is to picture a 45 year old rocking out...shit happens). The link is one of his favourite songs that he likes cuz it has "an oldschool feel to it when musicians were talented". Wait for the killer guitar solo about halfway through the song.

I remember back when I was young and Fifty and Game weren't beefin, man those were the days...
