   We have a casino down the road that is constantly booking bands you didn’t even know were still together. Just a couple of weeks ago they had a double bill, The Zombies & The Yardbirds. You have to search through the line up to see who, if anyone is from the original band.

   Reminds me of a Friedman cartoon where a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young revival concert was being billed as “Fat, Bald, Bitter & Angry”

   I love to go to old bands and relize I made it through the 60s and 70s and they didn’t

   Thats true, But the thing is, those OLD bands can actually play, the “new” bands sample the old bands and feed it into a computer. Some of those bands have the Bass payer as the only player that played on the bands hits (foghat)

   On the one hand, some of these old bands make me think “Geez, doesn’t any band actually break up anymore?” On the other hand, how many bands of today are making music that will still be listened to in 35 years? Some of them could stand to learn a few things from ’70s music.

   plus4 is rigth. Does anybody think that in 40 years from now people will be lineing up to see current hip hop/rap “artist” play? Well maybe their cell mates and thats about it.

    “rap music” is an oxymoron.

    I lived for two years near the bar in Washington DC where “rap music” was claimed to have been invented. “rap music” is actually pronounced with a silent “c”, so silent that people hearing it for the first time (over the constant din) thought that it is spelled without it, thus we see the devolution of language. It makes more sense when used as a verb.

    In reply to fbjsr, how old are the Beastie Boys again? Not that far off I suggest, and they are still selling out concerts. Sadly apt message to the music industry tho’.

    Wow! Music was so much better when you were young and the music loved by young people today is so crappy because they’re too young to know any better!

    Please.

    The old acts are filling the stadiums because they were supported by TV and Radio’s advertising monopoly, just as all POP acts are today.

    I play a lot of Bach and Pachelbel and Mendelssohn, and I don’t feel anything at all like a legacy act. For one thing, I don’t get paid nearly as much as a cover band.

    Geez, I didn’t think that the rappers would all be in jail. Very harsh statement.

    Will Smith, Queen Latifah, and Mary J. Blige can do no wrong. But I can’t think of another rapper I’d spend three nanoseconds on.
