Gin_And_Kerosene

i don't think it's fair to make the generalisation based on a few crappy bands....or even just on superficial details....yes, Slipknot conceal their faces, but not in the same way as kiss necessarily....the only member of slipknot who's face can be even compared to Kiss would be Joey (the drummer) all of the others have really unique, abstract masks which i don't think you can really liken to anyone else, because nobody else has them....

I do agree though (bar the slipknot remark!!) in regards to the s**t they cover on supposed 'rock' networks like kerrang, metalhammer magazine (bad times!) etc etc nowadays, you'd be forgiven for thinking rock music has gone irretrievably down the pan....it's really disheartening to see bands like "Kids in glass houses" and "Scouting for girls" being marketed as 'the new rock'....ON KERRANG?! Jesus, where did all the metal go?! ;_;

And kidrock....should we even be calling him rock music? He's a joke, i really don't think any of his stuff can be classed as "rock"....there's no 'rock' in it....

But yes. i fear we are losing our rock music these days...tragically
