But I digress.
There's no music business infra-structure anymore like there used to be to MAKE The Black Keys as huge (and impactful) as Zeppelin or The Who were. It's been dismantled, ensuring NO BAND will ever be as popular as U2 or Elton John were back in the day. And yes it makes me upset. LOL I hope to fuck The Black Keys (and others) prove me wrong cause I'm barely 40 and looking at the next 30+ years of life without another Led Zeppelin or AC/DC sucks balls man.
)Yeah I saw Cage The Elephant at a club in New York awhile back. LOL Good but cocky with little reason I thought. Man, maybe I AM getting old!!) |
this is prolly why i read your op the way i did and not how you meant it. you're on more about the politics (is that the right word?) of the music industry, which i don't really consider. so i don't really know why the industry doesn't allow for a voice of generation type of guitar band. seems like ilnjscb is right, today is about moguls and all the moguls are rap moguls, i think. not sure how that happened, jay-z pretty much sucks, imo, and i like rap.
