okay we all know that the 60's was the golden time for rock and roll but when will people actually change music and do something that NOBODY has done before and when will we actually have artists that well remember twenty years now down the road? I only listen to the 60's and early 70's rock because i cant stand the "New" sound of rock and its bullshit really to me yeah you got metallica and their kickass but other than that there arent alot of memorable bands out there so if anybody can give me some artist that present new music to the table i would greatly apreciate it. :cheers2:
I pretty much agree with you, but I feel the 70's were the best. This was when many of the 60's rockers were coming into their own. Robin Trower had left Procul Harem, Ted Nugent had left the Amboy Dukes, Rick Derringer had left the McCoys, and so many others. The 70's had your guitar hereos finally getting into their own thing. Not putting down the 60's at all, some very fine music there.
There have been tons of new things When did you hear rapping in rock before the 90s? What 60s or 70s band had as much modification as Korn? Hell, no other current bands have that much. Sounds like the Cure, the Strokes, and the Killers use didn't even exist until the 80s, and haven't really blossomed still. Suicide Machines and Ween meld genres together in ways never done before. There is no such thing as a musical revolution - it always changes over time - we just look back and try to classify it. There are bands like Tommy James & the Shondells that were already doing the 60s shit before the Beatles even came around and "revolutionized" rock.
Aerosmith did the rap thing in the 70's. I think they pretty much started it, and Steven Tyler should be executed for it.
If you're referring to Walk This Way feat Run DMC, I do stand corrected - but so do you, cause that was the 80s =P If you're talking about something else - I sure as hell don't know it. Really, the whole emo/indie singing style is quite newer - even though it totally sucks.
I am actually referring to Walk This Way before the Run DMC debacle. The original Walk This Way was the start, and then Run DMC just added to it.
That's not rap, that's just fast/talky singing. If that's rap - then Bobby Darin started white rap with That's All =P
The revolution you are talking about has already silently come to pass, there is plenty of authentic new music. Even some old artists like Miriodor or Klaus Schulze has become born again, although, I suppose, they have nothing to do with Christianity Even more, the view on the 60s and 70s has radically changed because of reissues of rare and barely known before recordings, and it wouldn’t sound plausible now if I say that those years were primarily the rock and roll era.
really? metallica qualifies as memorable? i mean, what kind of music are you lookin for? i can't really suggest anything in the worn-out realm of 'rock n roll', at least as 'rock n roll' is generally defined... but, if you're actually looking for something different to listen to... keller williams toubab krewe lotus ratatat kinobe sts9 eoto phish moe umphrey's mcgee galactic particle disco biscuits these bands actually exist at the present moment, and are touring and releasing new material... as well as taking sound in new directions.
Change is not per definition revolution. Lots of new things happening all the time, but it might just be that we don't like them As for me, I enjoy loads of today's bands that are certainly not as revolutionary as a band like Korn or Slipknot could be viewed in the 90's (just some examples mind you), but at least it sounds great and rocks like a tittie. Just trying to say we don't need a music revolution to enjoy todays' music I guess.
To me 60's rock sounds way too thin. Whenever I hear it I feel like I could just break it in half over my knee.
