MEXzilla Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I just imagined if Slash would release a free album like U2 did, and how no one would even notice lmao. Edited September 20, 2014 by MEXzilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I like rock music, but I can't think of a new rock band I heard that I really liked...I'm not aware of any good hard rock bands emerging since the late 90's/early 2000s ( that weren't projects by previously established guys, like Velvet Revolver)I mean, the best hard rock albums of 2014 are by Ace Frehley and Slash, guys that have been at it for four or three decades... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeryen Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Maybe the first time I'm listening to this guy talk and I'm kind of agreeing all the way. Liked how he dealt with the U2 question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 U2 made an appearance in the middle of a worldwide launch so that level of promotion isn't going to happen for a lower billed band doing a festival gig. Gene seems to be oblivious to what's going on in music and is prone to make blanket statements. I don't know if Slash actually listens to what kind of music is out there now, or just busy doing his own thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dando Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Name three new r´n r bands that can make it?There are no new or recent proper rock bands out there, ones I've got into are black rebel and the black keys a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combos Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I like rock music, but I can't think of a new rock band I heard that I really liked...I'm not aware of any good hard rock bands emerging since the late 90's/early 2000s Hard rock is a sub genre of rock and it's one that's dried up and died. Unless you're talking about old bands with old fans, it's entirely gone. Teengers still love rock and they still love metal but the ones that due are the outcasts which is what rock was ORIGINALLY about... rebellion. I think we all (us older fans) got spoiled to this idea of rock being mainstream and popular during the mid 80's through the mid 90's but it really was a short lived idea.Rock is for the pissed off, disenfranchised and angry... not the honor roll student. Let those people HAVE their Taylor Swift and Drake.Today's country is more rocking than today's so called "rock and roll" is.You have to listen to metal now if you want rebellion and/or balls in your music. Machinehead for instance has taken on the church, social injustice and war mongering on their last two albums. What you want is out there, but it's underground.

Free Bird Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 There is this really great rockband called "Zodiac" out there! The music industry is too fucked up and their music is too old school, so they'll probably never be big, but they are awesome! Check them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseIRS Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I agree with what hes saying, the fan base is there but the industry isnt doin anything to get rock music out there unless ur shit like nickelback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsfanoldie Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 In Slash's defense, he's done as much as he can to get it out there. He talks about bands he likes (Gojira) and he takes excellent bands out on tour with him. He introduced me to Hillbilly Herald who are really great, and I believe he also had Monster Truck open for him once. And, I'll be in the minority, but he also had a great indie band Foxy Shazam open for him for a leg of a tour. So I give Slash a lot of credit for getting new bands out there, because he can't really do much more than have them support him.And Hillbilly Herald is supporting his 3 LA shows next year so clearly there's a connection there. He really cares about his openers, which I've never really seen before. And another one I just thought of was Taddy Porter! They were a great band that Myles and Slash really liked.

tinyrobot Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 That's because kids are staying more at home and with their electronic devices than having fun and real connections in real life. The activism nowadays is via Facebook, not out in the streets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timotheus Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 There's this great new rock band called Royal Blood. They might not be "rock n roll" enough for some of you guys, but they've shown that it's still possible to make it by working hard, writing great songs and showing some originality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
