Back From the Dead: Is Rock & Roll on Life Support
Media and industry executives discuss the trend of rock, hard rock and metal being sidelined as a genre, rock radio stations closing shop, market share down, big names getting old and tired, and nothing new on the horizon. What will happen when the old guard dies and we are left with Shinedown? The truly great eras of Rock and Roll have been defined by great change, birth of Metal, Hardcore and Punk, Grunge, Nu Metal and now? We have passed the decade bridge with nothing to catapult the genre forward, is rock music capable of breathing on its own? Or is it time to buy the headstone?
