Lorraine Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Mainstream acceptance of rock music is pretty much dead. And I know we don't care about the mainstream, but back in the day, rock music was a relevant part of pop culture. Now Kenny Chesney has taken over that role. Where are the Bruce springsteens, motley crues, guns and roses, van Halens, Billy idols , zz tops.. I could go on and on . Today's youth ( for the most part) just dint give a shit about dudes on stage with guitars anymore. What took the place of music with them? TextingI don't know whether you are serious or joking.

satchmothesnowdog Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Buddy Rich and Stuart Copeland played with small kits and were(are) two of the best. People's opinions just simply don't matter, especially online. Truth and the.music matters and always wins out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
