It's certainly got nothing to do with lack of talent. Slash from Guns N Roses is still alive, and so is Joey from Def Leppard etc.. So my question is this, why isn't any new '80's hard rock' being produced? Listen to Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy album, then listen to Estranged and Sweet Child O' Mine or Welcome to the Jungle, and you can hear a very distinct difference in the style and sound of the music... Why can't bands compose songs that evoke the '80s' feel?
For one thing I dont like em anymore....man, I used to love em during the 80's....obviously, to me the heavy rock music they dont sound good anymore, bottom line I just dont like it now.
[QUOTE="Im_single"]Music moved on, maybe some time in the future we may return to the 80's rock sound but for now the music industry is at a different place.th3warr1or
But I mean, bands that used to produce that kinda music, now sound different too.. What is it that makes them sound different? The tempo? The riffs? The age, the diminishing of talent? I don't know, Slash's new albums sounds pretty 80's to me. Although I imagine it is most likely the 80's rockers trying to adapt to the new music industry, also new production techniques. I'm sure if they felt like it they could make an album that sounds like it came straight from the 80's.
Why is there no 70's-esque hard rock being produced? Why is there no 60's-esque psychedelic or blues rock being produced?

Well there SHOULD. Well hell yeah there should be but that's just the way music is. It moves on. Unfortunately most of today's music sucks but there's no turning back. It is what it is.
Cause it's not the 80s anymore? I don't know, it's not what people want to hear I guess.

To say it's not what people want isn't really correct. People want whatever's new. If suddenly pop music started going back to 80s style, that would be what the masses would "want".

Because they finally realize how utterly boring that **** was.Darth-Caedus
You know, I don't often agree with you, music-wise, but when I do agree, it's always with all my heart and soul. Thumbs up to you for that one...
Seriously, '80s cock-metal is the lowest music has ever hit... I love the '80s, but it certainly isn't for this particular aspect...
Besides, even if I did like it, it's easy to explain why there's no more music like that : it's all at least 20 years old now. There's no genre that can stay the same for twenty years, they all evolve.
Well to be fair Aerosmith's Crazy was done in 1994.
I always liked Aerosmith, but they bummed me out when I went to see them in concert once. They were so smashed that they sung a song out of order. They sung 1st stanza, then 3rd, then 2nd.:lol:
Well I wouldn't consider GNR an 80's style hard rock band. But otherwise music is cynical, whatever's popular now, won't be in a decade and older styles will make a newer comeback.
[QUOTE="viva_hate"]Yes... And the 1340s were THE golden age of bubonic plague. Your point?th3warr1or
So you think that Linkin Park is better than Guns N Roses then? Linkin Park is new metal and Guns N Roses are Hard Rock, so GnR is hell of alot better. Either way they are both very overrated bands.
