I think both of you are right, it's true that too few young people respect those old bands. But Dhatura's right about the fact that people like me, who are into Opeth, don't feel respected by older people for the music they listen to. It's a bit tiring
I feel no disrespect at all for any band who influenced the newer generations, but I'd like to have some respect for my taste as well.
I know what I listen to and I've never started listening to a band because I was supposed to, everything has been my own choice so far. And yeah I sometimes listen to the old guys like Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Genesis, stuff like that.
Cerulean said:Hmm, with 'new music' I don't mean everything that's been released lately anyway, just certain bands that are being picked on without any good reason.

Bambi said:but then how many lizzy fans will respect where phil got his influences, like chuck berry and that?? respecting peoples influences could be disastarous, what if the kids went out and spent all their pocket money on old albums?? who'd buy all the generic third rate fourth generation derivative crap that the metal record companies need to sell so they can pay their mortgage??
!
And who publicized my theory that no decent metal band has come along since '97??
im gonna misquote the great henry rollins to the kids: "music these days has become so diluted to the point that im not interested anymore, and im not a snob. I just cant forget what i know"
and you cant blame ireland on chris de burgh, hes fcking argentinian or something
