2. because hot white girls can't/won't dance to it. In the bar and entertainment industry, the number one demographic is attractive white women between 18-35. Get them to come and the others will follow. That demographic loves music they can dance to. Rock in the 21st century rarely provides that, red dirt country, pop, and hip/hop does. Bars book bands based on who they can draw. Men go where the women are. Women go where they can dance. Bring in the women and the rest will follow. Rock doesn't bring in the women, country and pop does.
If you only listen to music based on what the hot girls are into then you're not a real music fan.

Avenged Sevenfold has some decent guitar riffs and they actually throw in a few solos in a song. I blame Nirvana mostly for the death of classic rock and guitar solos. Most on here won't agree, but imo 90's rock pretty much sucked.

Wo Fat, Orange Goblin, Lo Pan, Truckfighters, The Atomic Bitchwax, Fu Manchu, Spiritual Beggars, Vista Chino, Texas Hippie Coalition, Weedpecker, Sasquatch, Monster Magnet, Kadaver, & Cluch all say "Hey There, Big Fella".....and that's just a smattering of all the current great 'riff rock' out there to be heard.

As opposed to what? 80's hair metal cock rock? 2000's emo rock?
90's rock was the best since the 70's

I'm talking about the fact that Nirvana used power cords pretty much exclusively. And I was comparing the 90's to the 70's. I realize that could be considered 2 different genres of music but it's still rock and the 90's, short Of a handful of bands, sucked.

I don't know if you guys listened to Royal Blood. Very catchy guitar riffs. It rocks. It is very very new.
Two man band and the singer plays a lead bass that sounds like a grungy guitar.
Royal Blood - Figure it out
Thanks for that. I just bought the CD. The guy's voice sounds like Jack White a little. They have that style. I like it.

It's always how it has been. Go look at the billboard charts back in the 60s and 70s. Shitty pop is always dominant.

Gangsta rap and hip/hop now is the primary musical manufacturer of that feeling for most teens and young adults.
I'm 20. Basically all of my friends listen to mainstream hip hop. Rap hasn't been very gangsta lately. Its all about bitchez in da club, and twerkn'.

Listen to this intro:
The Sword - Maiden, Mother & Crone
Overall as a band, their lead singer gets on my nerves sometimes, but the instrumentals in the band are phenomenal.

I don't, but casual music fans who go out to bars mostly to pick up women are less likely to go to a show if they know that it's going to be nothing but dudes and uggos there, just a fact of life. I went to a Streetlight Show at the House of Blues and it was 95% dudes, but the show was awesome.
Face it, a lot of young guys only go out for one reason, to get laid. If they can't get laid, then the band don't get paid. It's SEX, then drugs, THEN Rock N Roll, in that order.

Burn the Serum'
Kyng
Kyng are quickly becoming one of the most solid rock acts around and 'Burn the Serum' is proving to be a key album in their development. The riff-heavy 'Electric Halo' is capturing the ears of listeners as the lead single, but the album also connects with such standouts as 'Faraway,' 'Self Medicated Man' and the thrashy 'Big Ugly Me.' Meanwhile, 'Paper Heart Rose' is the type of album closer that leaves listeners wanting for more.
OP what you think?

What do you mean what is he even talking about? It's pretty simple to understand. Nirvana was comprised of subpar musicians, save for maybe Dave Grohl who is still average at best, so musicianship was pretty much completed neutered. Say what you want about the hair metal bands of the 80's, but for the majority, those guys could play the frick out of their instruments. You can barely say that about any of the bands from the 90s. Candlebox and Alice In Chains are the exceptions.
