Do people generally think that rock and roll is dead and not coming back, or do you believe that is has just morphed into what we have today? In my heart of hearts, I believe that it is coming back - the question is when. Hearing Velvet Revolver Fall to Pieces certainly sent chills up my spine. If only the vocalist had been W. Axl Rose, the "rock and roll nirvana" that we heard with Sweet Child O' Mine would be complete.
I have to think that the time for the artists of the 80s and 90s that most of us relate to are reaching the point of not being able to reclaim any of their former glory if they don't do it soon. So I have to wonder if the next wave or "real" rock & roll will include the earlier artists or a complete new wave of performers.
I can say this quite clearly: Other than Velvet Revolver, I do not hear any truly creative, spine-tingling bluesy guitar rock coming out any more.
I, for one, am not giving up hope - the world of music needs all forms, and right now we are damn short on good R&R! Axl may or may not be the one to save it - if he is, then we have to hope he comes back soon.
