Any hope for good rock to reclaim the mainstream?

The Underground is the way to go.

The problem is, the underground always becomes mainstream.

That was the joke punk played on Rock.


The difference is, now the "underground" can be on youtube within minutes, and every band with a myspace is a music distributor.

This aint your father's Rock and Roll.

yup....good for bands that have talent and should be heard, bad when pussy bands post videos all over god's creation and little 7th grade girls think they're cool and then before you know it the whole junior high think's it's cool and then what's next? fall out boy debutes at the #1 slot on billboard. goddamn kids these days.

It's a message board...

I remember seeing candlebox open for Rush. The best parts were the badass sliver burst 'paul the guitar player had, and when they left the stage.

They teased Working Man for a minute and everyone was like "get off the stage!"

I'm sorry to disagree with both of you but I'd much rather hear Hinder and Shinedown on the radio than another smash hit by Fall Out Boy or even Godsmack.

God, Rolling Stone has had panic at the disco and fall out boy on 2 of their last three covers. I feel like I'm subscribing to some homo-rag instead of RS.

I don't want to bitch-slap these gay bands, because it's not their fault that they're popular. I want to go and bitchslap each and every one of their fans for being gay.

[perilousepete]

true, but those bands still suck. no way around that.

Wolfmother are fucking awful, good rock won't take back the mainstream because the industry won't accept it.

Classic Rock and Hard Rock won't be back at the top unless people get into it and start playing in bands that wanna sound like that. Which they don't and won't.

Lamb of God was confronted with lawsuits concerning this, so it's no more

They're ok, but they're quickly annoying me, especially their braindead fangirls
