Are you fucking kidding me Diamond? Look at all the great bands that rocked the shit out of everyone not just in rock but in hip hop, rap, country.
No other era in the history of music has done that. When you went clubbing in the 80s and to parties you were able to party with any type of music and everyone understood it all.
You had band like Quiet Riot, Mega Death, Alice Cooper , Iron Maiden, Rush, Poison, Bon Jovi, G n R, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Antrax, Public Enemy, I can go on and on.
All those 80s bands were music they all still used real instruments to make music. There were only a handful of bands that did not use instruments themselves and Rap groups like Easy E and NWA also used real instruments.
Today every fucking rapper or rap group use a fucking computer program to make music. Really? The mid 90s really fucked up the music industry and now bands are just a complete fucking joke using someone else's music as their own.
The 80s was a great decade for music man come on! lol
I personally like Metal, like Iron Maiden and Motley Cru shit. I also love my Led Zep and Pink Floyd and yes the Doors. All classic rock kicks ass. Country is also music I listen to, after high school I went to tons of concerts from Alice Cooper to ZZ top, name the band I am sure I went to see them.
Only band I haven't gotten to see is AC/DC ,, every time I get the chance to go see them something pops up.
I have seen Marilyn Manson about 10 times, GnRs another 10 times, Metallica 7, Rage Against the Machine 4 times, Pantera 13 times, Motley Crue 8 times or so.
I have also seen bands like No Doubt, Bush, Green Day, Offspring, Alice in Chains, NIN...shit I been around the fucking block with bands.
