Are big rock bands dead forever? When there is a big rock concert

>>69675956
The last truly HUGE rock band (at least here in the uk) was probably Oasis honestly

There are so many ways you can say this with so many paragraphs and arguments and essays but I'll keep it simple.
Yes, big rock bands are dead forever.

10 years ago shit like this was going top 40 in America

What happened?

>>69675964
in america it was My Chemical Romance

>>69675991
Skrillex happened.

>>69675991

Literally that generations smells like teen spirit

>>69675991
Think late 2000s pop. It went electronic.

>>69676023
no, American Idiot was the SLTS of the 2000s

>>69676048
>>69676023
Not even remotely close.

Hint: WHEN I WAS

>>69675964
Is Radiohead not a rock band?

I think Deftones are the most relevant rock band right now and the oldest members are both 46 so I'd have to agree they're getting up there and being a huge rock band is now an old man's game.

>Is Radiohead not a rock band?
Yes, but with electronic elements. They were not even close to being as big as Oasis was though. They're pretty big, but Oasis was huge.

>>69676082
For all but three years in the 90s in the UK. It's so fucking insignificant Oasis are about as actually important as the fart I just ripped.

>>69676060
A YOUNG BOY

>>69675964
>>69676082
Oasis was never popular. All they had was fucking Wonderwall and thats it.

Dude, Fall Out Boy was at the TOP of the world for two albums. People always seeming to forget about this

>>69676082
Really? That's surprising. Here in America it was the opposite. At least it seemed that way to me. Radiohead has their share of heavy songs and moments probably rivaling Oasis and I never felt the electronic elements were prominent enough to disqualify them. However I think it's all a moot point since Thom Yorke is staring 50 in the face.

>>69675964
>Oasis
>HUGE
one moderately successful pop single does not a huge rock band mate

>>69676161
You mean 3 albums.

shame 4th was a flop, it was their best one.

>>69675964
>>69676082
fuck oasis
they don't even deserve to be considered rock

>>69676161
These guys had a sure fire ticket to being legitamitely the biggest band in the world but they are pop punk pussies and are afraid of cocaine and unlocking their true potential through drugs.
As messed up as it sounds that is what it takes.

>>69676175
save rock and roll?

>>69676189
I mean, Black Sabbath put out some of the best music ever recorded in 4 years and specifically thanked COKE. Led Zeppelin has a similar tale. Pink Floyd, same....and let us not forget David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy was made "on a diet of milk, cocaine, and red peppers" over the course of 3 years.

>>69676161
sure, but they were rock enjoyed ironically by young people. It's almost like the guitar was ironic and old at that point. Blame Blink 182

>>69676263
true artists don't need coke

Who was the last huge rock band? White Stripes?

>>69676127
MUH FATHER

>>69676189
The top 2 full length albums in this year's Decibel magazine list are both from Denver

Coincidence?

>>69676306
Define huge. I think Radiohead are huge and Deftones are big plus the most relevant I think.

I'd say Foo Fighters are still with it but they are bordering on aging and phasing out. Saw them last year and a huge venue, but not as big as where Iron Maiden was playing.

I could see how someone would argue Coldplay as the largest currently modern touring (soft) rock band at the moment. Fall Out Boy following behind, then Panic at the Disco, The Killers, and Twenty One Pilots on their way to full stadium shows.

>>69676306
Queens of the Stone Age

It's weird how U2 still does these huge tours but haven't had a hit in 10 years.

Car Seat Headrest are at least poised to become huge and Will is only 23

If their next album is just a little bit better and maybe something miraculous could be done to address their band name then i think they could do it.

>>69676306
St Vincent

>>69676401
don't forget MUSE.

And those guys were actually amazing at one point

>>69676474
never heard

>>69676474
who?

>>69676474
Can't say I know them sorry

>>69676540
>>69676549
Probably 2nd most relevant rock album of the year behind Deftones

Actually you're right, TTTYG wasn't a huge success until after Cork Tree.

so 2 albums it is.

Folie is their Pinkerton.

>>69676572
huh
i've literally never heard of them

>>69676650
>>69676572
they're not good

what about the Hot Topic bands

>>69676650
it was just a promotional thing. Ignore it

>>69676650
Well when I say relevant I mean musically not popularity. For example I think artists like Ty Segall and King Gizzard are too entrenched in aesthetics almost 50 years old.

2014 - St Vincent was very good and huge
2015 - of Montreal was excellent and big

>>69676721
i don't know them either

>>69676474
go to bed will

but yeah you're right

>>69676645
yea folie was so fucking good the only problem i had with the album was that the cd booklet didn't come with lyrics and i didn't understand half of what patrick was saying until recently.

>>69676737
The last St Vincent album was huge. She did SNL and all kinds of stuff. Very good record to say the least.

>>69676746
Yes I am Will. AMA

And actually I just woke up so you're stuck with me.

What do we even classify today's popular music as? A lot of it feels like a return to '70s funk, but more restrained and less natural.

>>69677379
Future funk
Dreamwave
