Great Motorhead pull. You can really hear the influence heavy.JoeEDangerously said:It’s Hit the Lights meets Overkill (Motörhead)
You’re sort of right. The bands from my generation, once they are gone rock is dead.YellowSnow said:

Rock's not dead - Yella is just too old to find it any more. My kid tells me my music is stale and sends me CDs to play in my truck of new bands and there are some pretty good new rock/metal/thrash bands out there right now.
Since I'm a geezer, though, I scored GA tickets to the Metallica/Pantera/5 Finger Death Punch show so I can pretend it's 1992 and life kicks ass.
Rock and roll ain't noise pollution, rock and roll ain't gonna die. Rock and roll ain't no pollution, rock and roll it will survive. -
The original My Generation wanted to die before they got old
Well Townshend and Daltry ain't dead yet
And that song still rocks at almost 60 years old -

Yes, there have been many great rock albums by new artists released in the past 10- 15 years. I own many of them and have seen many of these artists live.
But these artists aren't creating anything new and different than what came before. Rock as a genre is a senior citizen and the great new ideas have all been done. It doesn't dominate the culture or sales the way it did from its inception through the 1990s. -

They haven't recorded worthwhile new music in 40 years. Eminence Front was 1982.
The Who are a nostalgia act.

Dominating culture and selling albums isn't what rock and roll is about anyway, so I don't care too much about that. Usually things get worse when more people like it, not better. You wind up with hair metal crap like Poison instead of Black Sabbath, or Cinderella instead of Judas Priest.YellowSnow said:

I like a good guitar riff as much as I ever did, so I have no interest in finding another genre of music, regardless what the people want. Bands still make new songs that kick ass.
You can wait around for rock to die if you want, but I'm betting it's going to outlast both of us. Maybe not Race, but us for sure. -
The heck it's not. Zep, Beatles, AC DC, Stones, Who, Nirvana, Metallica, all culturally dominated and sold a shit ton of records to boot.dflea said:

The critics may have hated on some of these groups (initially) but they were still culturally dominant. -
How is that different than any other form of music at this point?YellowSnow said:

I will be at both nights of Metallica in 2024, assuming I'm still alive and living in the shithole state of Washington.
