Why Is Rock Still Dead?

I appreciate that very much..thank you. I know you dont agree with much of what I say or the music I say it about. But just keep playing. Get good at it and keep writing the songs that make you feel good and that express your emotions. Youll understand why I say what I do then.

Obviously these words and music touchdd someine enough to make a vid about her life. Id say thats pretty damn incredible when you can put out a rock tune that does this to people.

 

http://youtu.be/oIwWqYSbzGA this one had the same affect on people. Its amazing how many have used it as a soundtrack for their homade vids about things that are important in their lives. And thats the key..its not about simply rocking their nutz off at a concert, but how it touches them.

 

Exactly. Even though I don't like their music (right now), I consider myself pro-Nickelback. Which is a brave thing to say. My peers might disown me, but I don't care. I want to see people do their best. I want to be constructive while also being honest. I hope in the future to hear more deeply personal stuff come out of these bands, rather than subjects that have mass appeal. Let's get deeper, is what I am saying.

 

No, you dont, but there are certain things you should refrain from saying when doing so sometimes, because you have no clue . Unless you might actually know them and therefore know their intent. Deeper? Whats deeper than shit they..we live through?

Im going to pretend I didnt even read that statment. Now youre traumatizing me with with that shit. Lol you are.

 

Btw, lets keep in percpective that guys are going to look at things a bit differently than a woman. I might like something that pretains to love , but a guy might not..

 

Nobody was arguing that (i think)

What does that say about rock in particular? It is likely those people heard it in the charts and just thought hey this is good. Not because they're into rock or because it is what they think rock is about. It is just music that suits them. If you are trying to prove that some people actually dig Linkin Park, I think everybody is already aware of that. Do Linkin Park in general add to the feeling that rock is alive and kicking or that it is dead? Arguable (and hard to measure, but if I go by the rock fans I know... well you get the idea)

 

No, by saying that, I mean that its about what touches people. It has nothing to do with the charts.

I'm not going to say who this is quite yet, but so far it has had very good reception and it isnt on charts..or anywhere for that matter.

 

Yes, the fact that peeps are touched by their music absolutely lends to the fact rock is alive and kicking. That old hash shit that is getting posted? Lends to the fact that there are aspects of rock that have grown stagnant. But again, if it touches someone in some kind of good way, then its fine by me.

 

Ok, but it has nothing to do with rock in particular being alive or not either. We all know music touches other people, even when we might not dig that music ourselves. So I didn't saw why you were making that point (or that that was your point ). In fact, it still kinda seems to me you are trying to proof something about that band. Which is not needed. We know about Linkin park and that people dig them. I know people dig Nickleback too. Does that mean they are keeping rock alive? Arguable

 

"Ok, but it has nothing to do with rock in particular being alive or not either."

Are you serious ? Rock is about driving drumlines played in paticular cadence and tempos. Later it took on other aspects. Technically they are playing rock. Lyrically they are singing about the same shit they always have only in a manner that doesnt adhere to the older styles of rock.

 

With 'it' I ment your example about people getting touched by music and the fact that people used their song in vids and stuff

Not the band or their music. That indeed fits in the rock department (not my rock department obviously but still).

 

Rock is not ALL about getting stoned out of your mind and jamming in one damn note.
like I said before, its changing, and as far as im concerned its coming into itself..alive and kicking.

 

I said that because you guys have done nothing but say how shitty the music in my posts have been. And that they are not good exampkes of the rock genre. When the reality is they are. Technically, in pure sense of the deffinition,execution and delivery. So wtf? You dont like the style I do.

 

Nobody said so If you are judging my preferences, I don't care. It is what I see as real rock and what is keeping the spirit alive. I am also aware that rock (and everything else) is in constant flux and if it is not it would be dead by default. But bands like Shinedown, Linkin Park and Nickleback are not keeping good rock alive in my opinion. This is just it. Why are we still talking about them? Do you place more significance on my opinion on them or something? Do you feel butthurt about it...? It is merely my opinion and perception. It comes from a developed music taste and sincere passion for rock and you can disagree with it all you like. I really don't even like going on about such a shitty band (just my opinion). I have no problem with other people loving them to death.

Yes, you like it, and I do not. Can we get past that now.

 

I dont know, can we? Stop harping on the fact that YOU dont think they contribute, because I feel they do. Then, yes, we can stop talking about them. But its going to continue because you dont like any of the bands I post. But you see, technically and otherwise, they contribute much..

 

Whether you like it or not. Peeps now are looking to play and hear things that convey the complexity of their emotions. Some like simplicity in music and some prefer the more complex styles. Its as simple as that.
