If you are a fan of guitar centered rock music...it is difficult to find it on the radio, unless you want to listen to nothing BUT old stuff.
ZZ Top put out a really good song a couple of years ago. I listened to it on Vimeo and only found it because someone had posted it on social media.
It had nowhere to be played on the radio. And the radio is still a place where people listen to a lot of music while driving.
It's kinda puzzling to me. These bands have huge fan bases. And whenever they put out a new release...there is not much publicity and absolutely nowhere on the radio to hear their newest stuff.
Van Halen put out a new album with David Lee Roth a couple of years back. I got the CD and really liked it.
The local "rock" station here in Vegas played the song "Tattoo" off of it a few times the first day it came out.
Then the next day...it was back to playing "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and "You Really Got Me" every other hour and I never heard any of that CD on the radio again.
Not saying to only listen to "old" bands. Just saying that when they do put out new stuff...you can't find it on the radio. Which sucks.
