Felt sooner to me but as soon as Nirvana exploded Rock N Roll's key elements all died. Love me some Nirvana though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think it's kind of strange to say that considering blink 182's peak was around 1997-03 and so many great bands came out then and still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasa Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Rock and roll died after The Strokes’ Is This It because it was their only good album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasa Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 But in all seriousness, I think it died after The White Stripes had their run. Not to say there haven’t been great rock bands since then, but sadly it’s not scaling the charts or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider Blink Rock N Roll in any way? I mean like the long standing form of Rock N Roll. The Zeppelins, Aerosmiths, ACDC, Iron Maiden, Rolling Stones. You know catchy songs, distorted guitar, with a solo and some 8 minute balads. Turned into intro verse chorus verse chorus occasional bridge. I loved Nirvana but they definitely opened that door and closed the traditional rock n roll one imo. Blink & Green Day were pop punk, their own thing. The best thing..

Afterwards, EDM and self-aggrandisement replaced everything that was supposed to be rock. The only guitar music left that isn't indie/garage is unpalatable to most people (punk, emo, hardcore, metal) Yeah, at least in the mainstream. Lately, bands such The Vaccines on their first album did something interesting which connected with an old rock 'n' roll vibe. Fortunately, on the non mainstream side of things, there are bands which are still into rock 'n' roll and blues, but they are hard to find, unless you're really into your local scene, digging the shit out of it and following all the threads. Recently, I also found a local band here in Spain which does Doo-Wop. Crazy. On the internet? Forget about it, it all is been predated by majors. The control they are taking over streaming services is absolutely nauseous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Tom wanted somebody to fill in for Travis and maybe even replace Travis. Mark seemed to be against the idea, but never directly told Tom? Tom seems to think Mark was onboard with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Travis decided not to go after the shows were announced and tickets were sold. I don’t have sympathy for him and can understand why people got mad. He agreed to do it and then didn’t. It’s fine if he’s not ready and wants to bail, but he has to own that people would be losing a lot of money causing them to be mad, not just rich people roadies and average paid workers too, and letting down fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero interest in either, does that help? I would be excited for a new AVA release but if it's going to be old style WDNTW AVA than count me out. I'd actually rather another 4 track EP of Tom pissing about with Ilan fixing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be shocked if AVA actually releases anything at all within 3 years. I've never really liked that band but I do admit I'm really curious to see what Tom would come out with as a sort of "response" to California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
