I wish Rock N Roll today in 2009 didn't suck like it does right now. There is no one to idolize anymore. Except for a few of the bands from the 80s that are still around, but no one new. I wish we would have a rebirth, maybe in 2010 we could have 1980 start over again. You know, make Hollywood the Mecca, and only the strong survive. I wanna have a few amazing bands come to life that everyone tries to copy. There are very few bands that I will stand behind right now, Trivium being one of them. Black Label Society would be another one, but really the Genesis for that band began in the early 90s. They are still, however, one of the few bands that don't suck. One of my favorite, Velvet Revolver, doesn't have a singer now, or maybe they do I don't know. So who knows what will happen with them. That brings me back to my original point. We need a resurgence of bands like Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen (w/DLR), you get my drift, right? People say that the Grunge movement killed off the great "Hair Metal" from the 80s, and look how long that shit lasted. Of the 4 bands that really ushered Grunge in, look where they are now. Nirvana - Gone, but spawned the power ballad loving Foo Fighters. Soundgarden - Gone. Alice in Chains - Trying to make a comeback minus the late Layne Staley. Pearl Jam - No longer even relevant, now just a caricature of itself. I want Sex, Drugs, and Rock N Roll in my rock N Roll. Is that too much to ask? Long live Motley Crue and Metallica, 2 bands that got started in the early 80s and have stood the test of time. Both in longevity and musical quality.
