izzygirl Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 NOOO!! Why do they have to come back?!?

Boy... the rock scene died in the ´00s!!Btw...a little advice: think for yourself.

Estranged Reality Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) yeah?? revitalizing the rock scene in the ´00s??!! Boy... the rock scene died in the ´00s!!You're rather close-minded if you think rock music died in the '00s.Regardless, I was speaking of facts: whether or not you liked the music being produced, the early '00s was noted for being the era of rock-revival thanks to bands like Interpol, The White Stripes, The Strokes, etc. The NY rock scene flourished and a bunch of garage rock bands emerged. To say you disliked these bands is fine, but to say rock died in the '00s when numerous rock bands started appearing on the front covers of magazines, taking over radio again and selling out arenas for the first time since the mid-'90s is patently false. It wasn't coincidental that GN'R received a huge bump in "trendiness" last decade (remember when Greatest Hits was on the charts for months?) along with lots of older rock bands that suddenly became popular again. Btw...a little advice: think for yourself.Look who's talking.Just because it's fashionable to wax nostalgic (as it has been for every generation) doesn't mean you have to shut yourself off from good music. Growing up in the '90s I remember people saying the '80s was the worst decade for both music and film, and now people hail the '80s and bash the '90s -- and as we enter this new decade it seems it's about time to start criticizing the '00s. I'm sure plenty of users here could give you very solid rock music recommendations from just the past ten years, but it seems you've already made up your mind on the matter. I don´t mind whatever the rest of the world says; I have my own personality and opinion... and I think they are average ... eh!! But who cares musical quality when you´re cool!! Yes, I´m being sarcastic.No, you're not being sarcastic -- you're just being snide and hypocritical. It was quite obvious that I was expressing my own opinion, just as you were yours, so the implication that I'm following a trend by defending a band that hasn't been "cool" in a number of years is inane and simplistic--not to mention rude.My only point was that, of all things to criticize them for, saying they killed rock n' roll is probably one of the dumbest and easiest to refute. If you just plain don't like them then there's not much that can be done except to say, Oh well.

bax Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'll give it a listen.Julian's solo album was cool.I love that album. The mixture of 80's synths with modern guitars was a cool idea, and there are a lot of different songwriting styles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s the point. I don´t really care if a band appears on magazines, radio or TV (as apparently you do). I love a lot of "small" bands that aren´t famous at all. I don´t have to like a band just because everybody else do. And you are mad if you think that The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, ACDC or Iron Maiden (for example) are still popular because of those shitty bands. Btw, there were really good bands last decade... do you know The darkness? That´s real rock!!! But if you love The strokes... what can I say? Enjoy it!!

I love a lot of "small" bands that aren´t famous at all. I don´t have to like a band just because everybody else do. No offense but you're still missing my point...I didn't say quality was linked to (over) exposure; just saying that rock became pretty big again in the early '00s because of the rock revival that these NY and English rock bands ushered in. So, to say they "killed" rock music seemed a bit odd to me, regardless of whether you enjoy their music or not.And you are mad if you think that The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, ACDC or Iron Maiden (for example) are still popular because of those shitty bands. Never said that.Btw, there were really good bands last decade... do you know The darkness? That´s real rock!!! I do like some of their songs, but it's ironic that you'd mention them as "real rock," because they were always kind of a tongue-in-cheek band. Not Steel Panther-level parody but not entirely earnest either.Anyway...everyone's got opinions and I was never really keen on Interpol so I can understand your perspective.

bax Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Has anyone been able to download the single yet? I checked a little while ago and the countdown had 8 minutes on it and when I checked back the page wouldn't load. I guess the server's overloaded.

ITW 2012 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) First time I heard modern age was after my first aa meeting.I picked that album up on 9/11. New York City Cops probably wasn't the most appropriate song for 9/11, but how was the band to know.
