They're dropping like flies

Sounds familiar...

 

Is this really rock and roll? Is August more interesting, Or June? What do the young people think these days?

Since last posted we've lost J.J. Cale, Phil Everly, Pete Seeger, Tommy Ramone, Johnny Winter, Jack Bruce, Joe Cocker, B.B. King and many others. RIP forever.

 

Out of all the people listed on this thread. David is the biggest let down. But old people die. It's one of their jobs. Pretty soon we will need new classic rock stars.

 

Prediction; ain't gonna happen.

 

It just won't be mainstream. You have to search for that shit nowadays. Google is your friend. If you don't find it...Google some more. If you still don't find it then ask jeeves and then bing....it's out there it's just not spoon-fed anymore.

 

When it appears there is no good music being made it is probably the person perceiving it as such. Especially if good music mainly means music from your youth/heyday

 

Some of my favorite tunes came from this band; Stone Temple Pilots. Songs like Creep, Plush, Interstate Lovesong, and Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart, are songs of a generation. I know they are newer than most of you are used to, but frontman Scott Weiland passed this year, and so I thought I would use this thread to recognize that sad fact.

 

But it's not bbq king so some people will bit cheaper about it
Despite the fact that I can name 50 great future classic rock songs.

 

I thought the baby boom generation regards us (their offspring) as the laziest generation

 

So I was rereading the first page and thought he didn't claim that if it isn't mainstream it isn't gonna be classic. He said you gonna have to look for it outside of the mainstream. That's all he said.

You on the other hand seems to have made the assertion in the classic rock songs thread that if a rock band didn't make it mainstream to a certain extent they can't be called classic:

 

And now Glenn Frey of the Eagles is gone. Shit.

 

Yes its quite sad!!

 

Goodbye Paul Kantner

 

Very sad!!!!!!!!!!

 

Keith Emerson

 

Yes very sad..........

 

Prince came along later in my chronology but he's still noteworthy. I was never a fan though
I acknowledge he played great guitar!

 

Very sad yes........... Poor prince
