apple products may have rendered the creation and adoption by the masses of a new rock band that is not comprised of queermos impossible
that said
if matt cameron would just dedicate himself to soundgarden full time, they could be taking rock to new places

Ben Shepard and McCready are the only ones who still have the rock coursing through their veins. What if they started a band? The possibilities are endless. The music could span the spectrum from grunge to acoustic grunge to grunge with a slight punk influence.

He's probably thinking, "Oh man, I better remember to pay those utilities bills tomorrow".
Rock 'n roll.

I remember him saying something like "if you cant bother to remember the words then you shouldnt bother playing the song"
or maybe that was michael stipe. i dont remember.
In any case, good on ed for using one though i dont think he actually uses it. Playing 40 songs a night and all...
And ive seen him glancing down at lyrics plenty throughout the years

I'd actually have quite a bit less respect for him if he'd taken the effort to memorize My Fathers Son.

And youth is vital to a strong roster of bands. All the waves of great rock bands had youth at their core in some way. But because the youth's interests are elsewhere right now, we have a huge influx of great rap and pop music, while rock has become this softened, fragmented, niche thing. It will probably circle back around eventually.
I think you have a point here.
I guess I just don't see how this is any different than any decade every, though. Maybe the 80s is the best comparison but there were tons of people saying the same things in the 70s, 90s, etc, too. Maybe instead of "rap" they said "soul" or maybe instead of pop they said "disco" but it does't seem any different now than before.
Same as it ever was.
But in the 70s for every kid going to the disco there was another kid getting stoked about the new Zeppelin record. Do we have that today?
That's an actual question since I'm old now and don't really have the inside scoop on what kids do anymore.
Yes, we do.
The only difference is that the system has changed a bit and we don't have as many all powerful conglomerates cramming shit down our throats. And we have Spotify, too.
Honest request: Name one recent rock band that "kids" are excited about right now. Like, not some niche band with a cult following. A rock band with legitimate cultural visibility that there is actual excitement about among youth.
Off the top of my head, Catfish & The Bottlemen. Maybe Foals.
