Who agrees? Seriously, the music industry has taken such a horrible turn, IMO. The only two bands still making good new music is Nine Inch Nails and Tool. And all these little random new alternative bands suck. Just a vent, but I'm just really sick of it. Personally, the 90's were my favorite music era but I like classic rock too.

Yeah I kind of agree too.

I like Weezer though. And a few ska bands. But they could never even compete with classic rock.

I kind of like RHCP new song but why do they always sing about California? lol. I kind of like Weezers newer stuff but they were better in the 90's IMO.

and SOAD is still going strong but I hate their new song Hypmotized. I listen to a lot of their older stuff.

I agree with you 100% Tool Fan. The music industry has become, well, an industry. It's soul purpose is no longer to make good music, but to make music that sells. This means that they are only doing what we the consumer say we want. Turns out terrible music like screamo gets by, while true talent and soul is held back. It is partly our fault as the consumer for buying into such terrible music, and giving this terrible music demand to be repeated. It is partly the fault of younger teens for they make up a lot of the music industry's consumer base, but it is also partly the musicians fault's, for they are the ones taking part in the whole get rich by writing music bit. If being a rock star paid as much as being a teacher, think how much better the music would have to be, because only people that truly wanted to play would get into it(I'm not saying all teachers are good). To start a change in the industry we the consumer will have to change our spending, we will have to start buying music that is good, let the fads such as screamo fade away, and begin to rebuild the network of good musicians that has been lost for so long. This might be impossible, because any no talent ass clown can go into a studio and sould like Hendrix on a CD thanks to studio magic. For the sake of music I hope a revolution begins, and soon.

I don't really agree on how you guys say "Music Industry" because it seems you guys are only talking about specific genres. There are still many talented people, which means the music industry is not going bad, just that there are different musicicans, new music. Just because you prefer one genre from one generation doesn't mean everyone else will hate it as well.

I was mostly talking about all rock since this is the rock forum

yep today's music is crap look at all these talentless bands Green day weezer franz ferdinand blink 182 etc. not only that they have put ashley simpson in the hard rock catagory yeah i almost vomited there. but yeah TOOL, Red HOt CHili Peppers, HIM, The Mars VOlta kick ass. good thing metallica is coming out with a new album

I agree, but metallica forms part of that new crap idea, but i hope they make something better than that piece of garbage they made last time(st.anger)

the only good thing to look forward to is Iron Maiden`s new album coming in october.

The only modern rock band that is even in the same league as the greats from the past is RHCP. Everything else is !***!. Especially Tool.

yes, the chili's are unbelievable
but why diss tool? they are fantastic also

but on the whole, new music sucks
its true

(emo is my nightmare)

Tool is awesome. They take their music further than ANY and I mean A-N-Y other band EVER has.

I agree, tool are good. the only good band to come around in the last 5-6 years is audioslave in my oppinion. and theyre not really new either. soundgarden and rage were around since the late 80's (well soundgarden were). New music (e.g. arctic monkeys, keiser cheifs, franz ferdinand, the libertines, taking back sunday) will be forgotten in less than a decade. but led zeppelin, queen, Free, etc. have endured and will continue to do so.

Agreed, the music industry is ruining everything, however, there are bands that are new and are good, SOAD, not new but very good. Idiot pilot, good trippy and all done by two guys. Billy Talent, good stuff but the screaming can get out of hand. Rock and Roll Soldiers, new good but are gonna sell out big time
All we need is a good band to come out with a killer album and maybe some to destroy MTV and we might get music back to the way it was

om HELLL NAW!!! music is my life! ya ok so i lk emo music... and hard-core... is that a problem for you? yaa well if it is... GET OVER IT! new music rooles! well rock ne way... the rap !***! i can live with out
l8r ya'll

MCR BAY-BEEEE :)

ummmmmm, no. New music has no depth. No meaning. No uniquness. All new bands are the same. Same voice, same plot, same sound, same sytle.
