Rock and Roll music is Dead.

[Blowback]

Good God has anyone tried to turn on the radio lately?  Where has all the good music gone?  Did they stop making good music in the 90's?

Did all the good music artists die?  Why aren't there any good new rock bands anymore? 

Back in the 90's we had awesome new bands come out every year.  Nine inch nails, Nirvana, Tool, Rage, STP, Helmet, White Zombie, etc.

Now we have, um........, shit like the Strokes and Nickelback?
Somebody please tell Chad Kroger to back away from the microphone. 

WTF man I want my good music back.

[zafada]

Well for some reason, the little girl population seems to like guys that are in some way feminine.  I can't stand the whole stage show thing even though it'd be fun as hell to dress up in tapered jeans, a barely tied tie, eyeliner, and spiky black hair...

Oh wait...no....no I wouldn't.

The title of this thread got me very concerned until I realized you were talking about rock music.

It's because the bands mentioned above were non conformists and weren't afraid to say what they thought or express themselves,can't be having musicians speaking about the truth.

On a side note though,it never fails to bring a smile to my face when I listen to old Metallica boot legs and to hear James Hetfield bitching about selling out

Hah, you all thought Dawayne Johnson too.

[ES]

Well we had Nirvana and alice in chains and stuff like that become popular because people were sick of hair metal so maybe something good will come as a reaction to the stale crap that's out there now.

[thrashbassist]

It's all underground now. Mainstream rock has generally always sucked for the past 20 years though IMO. The only radio stations I listen to nowadays are the classic rock stations.

Go blast some Pentagram and Witchfinder General

fixed the title before Rock got back from the night shift.

shit, he would have been pissed.

ya i noticed this a while ago. I currently suspect sabotage in our music and lyrics. i haven't listened to the radio for 4+ years. like television, there is nothing on there for me. its all brainwashing, in my opinion. i can't prove it, but i'm convinced the lyrics are all controlled somehow, along with the 'hits'. they say a song is popular when they want you to accept the programming in it, and it gives them an excuse to play it over and over again on the radio--and its total garbage.
likewise, the only time i've listened to radio has been Internet Radio and the 70's and 80's genres.

One thing that makes my point obvious is look how innocent the music was in 60's, then go to  70's, then 80's, then 90's, and then now. there has been a definite direction all the music has been heading. there are specific messages they are all promoting universally.

I think the pastor guy who was recently on AJ's show and said he'd pay for the first 100 callers' PrisonPlanet.tv accounts said that he traced it back to Aleister Crowley and his The Book of the Law somehow. Thought that was interesting.

[pmq]

continuing my message above...

For example, nowadays lyrics are gateways into all forms of slavery, such as: sexual sin (pornography, masturbation, womanizing, homo/bi-sexuality, rape, necrophilia), using illegal drugs shipped in by the government, legal drugs (prescription anti-depression/psychotropics, pain-killer/narcotics) handed out like candy by pediatricians, GPs, and psychiatrists alike, covetousness (e.g. use your credit cards to go into debt to buy our CDs, designer clothing, fake jewelry, luxury automobiles, etc.), murder (of law enforcement, other races, other religions), or suicide (get back at the world, escape the bottomless despair created by aforementioned actions).

Kids see these messages glorified in the fictional fantasy world that is our MSM including Hollywood and MTV (e.g. music videos, celebrity news, "reality" tv shows like American Idol, etc.). They idolize these people as role models. Those unfortunate enough to know no other source of truth and light (the Gospel) completely buy into it. They pursue it endlessly, thinking the reason why they are never fulfilled is because they simply have not embraced it enough.

Personally I see the end result being things like this:
Teenager commits suicide live online while 1,500 people watch video stream
http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=71589.0

And Alex talked about our troops rolling around listing to death metal in their tanks while on tour overseas in Iraq, obviously being used to get them pumped for killing. But this is what our kids also listen to at home while they play their first-person shooter video games. THERE IS NO RESET BUTTON IN LIFE. YOU DO NOT RESPAWN WHEN YOU SUICIDE. THIS IS NOT A GAME. But it's hard to convince these kids of that when digital reality seems more real to some people than true reality. Mass brainwashing.

Hey it still out there, it just buried in the ocean of the supply available, plus the old timers are still around even Johnny Cash had some good music before he died, Bob Dylan is still writing how it is, a lot of time it take us a little more time to catch up to the true geniuses.

[clearmyst]

You turned on the radio for "good" music?
Therein lies the problem.

Getting back to the roots of rock & roll is helpful. Look at how many bands have done covers of blues songs. The blues has always been the blues and always will be. I like alot of different music, but the blues will always be my favorite. There are alot of newer, younger blues musicians, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lange are just a couple of examples. Blues from 50 or 60 years ago are timeless as well.

[HWNA]

There is still good music out there, you just have to look harder. With the Internet, however, you actually have a way to find those good musicians and bands instead of having to listen to whatever the corporate execs at the record labels and MTV want you to listen to.

And with so much cross-promotion going on between the record labels and other subsidiaries of their parent companies, it is hard to really find anything on standard radio or MTV that isn't some carefully manufactured money machine.

Its all about marketing the stakes the big label NWO run companies have in their hands under contact & the Artist is a slave once they sell their soul & sign their life away for fame & fortune if that?
Main Stream Music will always be dictated & sold by the NWO, you ever wonder why you like those songs so much, music is a powerful tool used by the NWO to brainf**k the masses
Music is one of the most successful ways to subliminally persuade/convince  the population to do the bidding of the NWO

Beatles ring a bell here, just how many people got those ridiculous Beatles haircuts?
then it went to hippy hippy shake.... right?
you got it yet? be anything other than your true self & look/move/think/dance the way we (the NWO) want you to

Yep, MIND CONTROL for stupid mindf**ked Sheeple  

Switch off your radios & TV sets, & look at yourselves before they completely fry whats left of your brain
I kid you not
Good music don't come form the NWO & it never will...
I use to like music a lot until I learned the truth, the Piped NWO Piper can't fool me anymore
But it looks like they got many here,
wake up now

Great videos! They absolutely confirmed my own suspicions. Here are a couple points I pulled away from the first documentary:

1. Musicians no longer run the record labels--bankers do. Bankers obtained control over the music industry through lending (a common theme). When record label owners would default, the bankers would acquire the company.

2. Especially since video, money flowed to anyone who could make music increasingly adulterated with sexual imagery. Today we have 40-year-old song writers (talent) working with 20-year-old female sluts (image) and using technology (voice-overs, lip-syncing, effects, etc.) to bring it all together. The goal is no longer good music, but just good enough so you won't turn it off. This is because today radio makes money primarily from advertising, so the goal is simply to keep you on the station. I think this progressed long enough that it is obvious to most adults. Unfortunately, because it is so widespread and tolerated, children are more likely to misinterpret this as acceptance.

3. Stalin said, "It matters not who votes, but who counts the votes." Through the guise of captialism these bankers use bureaucracy to exploit artists with genuinely good intentions. For instance, conducting focus groups to determine what music people "want to listen to", then using this as the excuse to tell musicians what lyrics people supposedly want to hear. If you refuse, they simply won't publish your work. So now it's not about talent, it's about selling yourself out--using your reputation to promote the messages bankers want the people to hear (e.g. be slaves/sheeple, go into debt, destroy freedom, etc.) And the record labels use the standard cut-throat monopoly/oligopoly tactics that would make John D. Rockefeller blush--RIAA, MPAA, Anti-piracy laws, one company owning thousands of stations across the country despite it being against the law, etc. In this way the companies are forced to cooperate through coercion and thus manipulated with money/greed/corruption/power like marionettes in the hands of the globalists.

Did I mention that Jungle and Drum&Bass consist of independent record labels and bedroom dj's?  It's not much of a corporate enterprise at all, rather it's still somewhat underground.

For your life
For your life
Get up and run
For your life
For your life"

"Said said
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would
mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had,
Oh, good friends we've lost
along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say"

I'm not a big Jungle or Drum&bass fan but would agree 100% with Contra,underground Indie. labels is the way to go or just set up your own.

Got a classic rock station you can listen to? Or a modern rock station that also plays classic rock? Listen to it. That's where all the good music is.

[Kilgore Trout]

The "music" that is played on radio is designed to put you into a state of passive acceptance, they want you to accept the products being advertised between the "songs".

The music is meant to illicit zero reaction and keep you kind of waiting....for more....and then here comes the commercial for some product...that is the happy ending.

The radio has never turned me on to anything. All of the bands I get into are found by me through reading and buying records.

Metal all kinds , extreme , hard rock , even folk if it has some balls. radio music is filler for the important thing, commercials.   whatever!! Fuuuuuckkk!
