What year is that Jchimpo?
I think MOST new music sucks today because the kids aren't as creative and they used to be.
I think there a hundred reasons, and it just isn't an easy package answer.
I think the technology out there has made it too easy for any yahoo to make an album, and that is one reason.
I don't think the new musicians research very much, and their influences only go back 2 or 3 decades, if that.
When ever I read an interview with any of the rock giants like Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones, they cite influences that go back really far and are quite obscure.
I am a musician, and it is amazing how many musicians I know that don't even listen to music. One of my friends of makes me mad when I talk about basic shit like The Rolling Stones, and he doesn't know it. I just don't get it.
I met an 18 year old kid in Toronto about 12 year ago who didn't know who Keith Richards is.
