Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

No!As for myself all the crap like LP,LB never really existed.I am still stuck up wiith good old Led Zep,Sabbath,Purple etc with occassional Megadeth,Metallica,Opeth and bands like those.The last musical movement I really cared about was grunge,and still in love with Alice in chains,Nirvana,NIN and Jane`s addiction.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

perhaps i shouldn't even be posting this(since i'll be badly criticised anyway..he he) but i listen to bands such as- Muse, Rise Against, Rev Theory, Alkaline Trio, Keane, Stone Temple Pilots, The Smashing Pumpkins etc..i don't think these can even be classified as rock.

Apart from these i also listen to singers & bands like- James Blunt, Butch Walker, Lady Gaga, One Republic, Owl City, The Script etc...

Recently i've started listening to The Veronicas..i checked one of their live performances on youtube & they sing really well live. there are a lot of singers who sound good on record but suck when they sing live.for instance- kesha(she can't sing ****)

Is Eluveitie considered metal? cause thats the only band i have listened to a lot & IMO they are really good(but i'm sure i am mistaken, i have limited knowledge when it comes to metal).

My point is- listen to what you like. there's no point in comparing different musical genres..let Pop & R&B stay where they are.but Comparisons within a genre is actually quite necessary.so that bands like LP & LB can be kicked out.these bands would actually suck no matter what genre they were in.

No, Rock music cannot die unless the millions of hardcore fans, in all scenes (underground or otherwise) abandon it.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Muse is an alt band but I like it cause they are original and don't derive all their songs from a single song. They experiment with stuff and I like their songs. Very unique and differnet sounding. Plus their live shows are totally worth checking out .

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

none of the genre is dying neither classical ,jazz ,rock ,pop .infact new genres will be introduced or developed as per the changing trends .also music tastes changes with age too .

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Yeah at first I was picky. Whenever I was talking about music with my friends, I would act elitist. I was always like 'Man pop sucks. Listen to real music'... and my friends used to tell me 'Metal is just noise dude'.

Not it's like my friends tell me 'Metal is just noise dude' and I just reply 'Well I listen to a lot of noise then . And I wouldn't prefer to change it'.

I don't try to change others taste now. It only backfires lol

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

+1, rock can never die. LP was never rock, i think what they sing is alternative rock or something but not rock precisely.
BTW i love listening to Bullet for my valentine, Megadeth , iron maiden, system of a down, korn and Slipknot.

Linkin Park was of the Nu Metal genre. while their final album had more classical note and evoked more negative responses....

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

I like music that sounds good to me. I don't care what genre it belongs to.

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

listen to what you like... why are you worried with what others like... some people listen to pop some to rap,even though i hate it... there's no point in changing there opinion because they wont

i dont listen to metal... i'm into post rock,punk rock, soundtracks & alternative rock
and i love LP & like a few songs of limpbizkit....

metal fans consider them as blasphemy but u know they are famous cause they are actually good & people like listening to them

so dont worry and just listen to the genre u like...

every decade has its own music movement ... every decade belongs to some genre

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Alright.the firing begins:

1.

I like music that sounds good to me. I don't care what genre it belongs to.

2.

You guys watch the movie "Metal : A Headbangers Journey" and its sequel "Global Metal" then continue this discussion.

its a documentary and if you liked its sequel,then all i can do is all i did was facepalm when i saw sam dunn cover india.

3.

Is Eluveitie considered metal?

ever heard of the genre folk metal?

4.

LP was never rock, i think what they sing is alternative rock or something but not rock precisely.

who is he?and where did he come from

5.

so that bands like LP & LB can be kicked out.these bands would actually suck no matter what genre they were in.

kid im sure you're the one who listened to LP the most,everyone does when they 'start' listenin rock.

i bet most of the people who argue about metal being the greatest genre of em all dont know most indie albums often tend to pwn metal albums when it comes to ftw-ness.

Also about time people focussed on listening to the entire albums rather than listen to just the band's singles (which are often as cheesy as hell),rather than fighting on whether a particular genre is dead.

Also,mega lol at this

With all those hannah montana , jonas brothers and R&B stuff dont u all think that Rock(specially Heavy Metal) has lost its Air play its been a while since a great rock album, Bands are breaking like hell, rock musicians are also dying lyk Bird flu chicken .................IS IT THE END OF ROCK ??????

i hope you realise rock and metal are 2 entirely different genres

 

[Desmond]

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Dude, but metal has some of the the most talentd artists out there in all genres put together.

<WRT 1st post>
Maiden almost never got any air play, yet they fill stadiums around the world, during their tours. Now, thats legendary...

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

@ wisecrab abd prasath : what about their album "minutes to midnight"? It wasnt nu-metal !

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

clearly you havent researched before commenting,id have given you loads of non-metal artists who ftw,but i like to keep my digs to myself.

totally agreed...don't judge a musician by his genre...judge him by his talent..in india most singers like sonu nigam, sukhwinder singh, shreya ghoshal, sunidhi chauhan sing very well as playback singers & also when singing live..there are a lot of singers in the west who's songs will be big hits but when it comes to singing live(where their songs can't be edited)..they are really bad...
