Okay, are there any good, innovative bands out there any more?
The radio is a joke. It's all "Rump Shakin" and "Vage Rock" and that seems to be all you find as new or popular on Zune and iTunes anymore.
COME ON!!! Nickleback? The Fray? I think these guys (term used loosely) have changed the concept of being in a rock band "For the chicks" to "Being one of the chicks"
And would it kill any of the newer Metal bands to actually mix in even just a little of the Bass? Why do metal bands even have Bass players anymore. Hint... screeching, distorted overpowering lead guitar was played out in the 70's Punk era.
I must be getting old when I have to go back to the good ol bands like Rob Zombie, Dope, Mushroomhead and Disturbed just to hear some decent, well mixed metal made in the last 10 years.
