Corey Taylor CMFT Not what you would expect from the lead singer of Slipknot.
it's a cover and it barely fits the Jan 2020 or later criteria...but this is so good...
Alan Cross: Sorry Gen X, but the music of your youth is now the new classic rock - National | Globalnews.ca
Gen X is enduring a painful truth. Their music is now old. And so are they. How could this have possibly happened?

like this and I only like a few of her songs......nostalgia...when the drek artists from the late 90s and early 2000s are now looked back upon fondly because the new music of today sucks monkey balls
its a good song but Bruce ruins it, his voice is awful here, would like to just here the Mellencamp smooth delivery
been waiting for new music. I love it that she is like the Stevie Nicks of the 2000s, she is going to basically do her style no matter whether it fits in with the current climate of music.
I only know like 2 songs from them but Kayleigh was always a huge favorite by mine. Wow is this song new? Its awesome. I cannot believe that it takes old people to make real good musci in 2022. Where is this from the 20 somethings. Seems like we have a generation with has no angst in their lives
The key passage in this for me was this one:Alan Cross: Sorry Gen X, but the music of your youth is now the new classic rock - National | Globalnews.ca

"And they’ve got a good point. The music industry has done a terrible job of creating new 21st century superstars capable of carrying the torch of those minted in the last four decades of the 20th century. How many rock acts can you name that have emerged since 2000 that are now capable of filling a stadium like days of yore? Go on. I’ll wait.
To be fair, we’re living in a completely different world where the internet has completely destroyed all the old paradigms and conditions that led to rock’n’roll superstardom in the millennium. Instead of today’s generation of young people exclusively listening to their own music (as has been traditionally the case over the decades), their smartphones give them access to 70 million songs. Streaming has conditioned them to focus on individual songs. It’s playlists, not albums. There’s no centre to music anymore. There’s no widespread consensus about what’s good. Everyone is their own music director and they’re choosing to listen to songs from the whole of human history.
All they want are good songs. Streaming encourages consumption by song, not by album, or artist. To today’s 22-year-old, it doesn’t matter if a song is two weeks old or 50 years old. Does it sound great? Then they’ll listen."
In the mid eighties the original lead singer (Fish) left the band and they fell off of most peoples radar. The new lead singer came in and the band has evolved over the last 30 years and 15 studio albums. They never reached the popularity heights they had with Kayleigh, but they have made nice careers for themselves. They are widely acknowledged for creating crowd funding in the music industry in the mid-90's. Their fans (myself included) pay for the album before it even gets made and in return we would get our name in the liner notes.
If you want I will DM you some links to some other songs of theirs you might enjoy.
30,000. My advice is to buy a ticket and you should not have a problem selling it later. If that does not work out, don't hound me later. I would offer to buy it from you, but if I did that and sold it later for a profit, @koleszar would be on me like a fly on sheet, never letting me live it down. He is relentless about such things, and I can't understand why. 🤷♂️ 🤣
Graham Bonnet Band- Graham Bonnet was in Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, and Alcatraz. 74 years old and still rocking.
Dirty Honey may be one of the best "new" rock bands out there. Still unsigned.

It’s a good article . To me, the idea of superstardom and filling stadiums isn’t what it is about anyway. I always considered the stadium rock stuff as emphasizing the wrong things. The truth is there have been many rock bands who’s decline began when superstardom, fame, extreme commercial success became a reality. Making good music that is honest and heartfelt, that connects with people on an emotional and spiritual way is what matters and what is important. There are more ways then ever for emerging musical artists to get heard and noticed today. Do they have to tour more and play live shows to exist? Absolutely. But I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. It helps keep an element of humbleness to it all.
I saw Dirty Honey live with The Black Crowes last Sept. at PNC. I thought they were very good. Kind of Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Guns N Roses vibe. That kind of gritty, grungy road house blues rock stuff. They are out of LA. The singer who is pretty good is from upstate NY.
You really nailed them with the description. Seriously, you could be a music writer. While most of what I post in here is heavier music, I love all kinds of music, with my all-time favorite being road house/horns-infused blues rock. While it may not be recognizable to all, some of the heavier bands bring in blues elements (at least in my opinion). Interestingly, a lot of what is classified as "stoner rock" (I've never been stoned) seems to overlap with blues influences. One of my top 5/10 bands is Corrosion of Conformity--here is an example of their softer side:
I am not sure. Edit: I see this was answered.
Do you like Fury Of Five?
I actually had never listened to them. I remember hearing the name. Their last release was 2014, and I see they are from Asbury Park. I took a listen, and my first impression is that they are a poor man's Sick of it All or Biohazard. Not what I am currently into (maybe I am finally getting old) 🤣 .
New Ghost just dropped this weekend: Impera. They still have their tongue in cheek religious and Satan shtick. But they are so much more. Deep and Varied song topics and dual meaning lyrics. Musically, very arena/80s rock inspired. There are homages everywhere. The opener, Kaisarion (tells the story of Hypatia’s brutal murder - again awesome subject matter) very reminiscent of Rush‘s Spirit of Radio with the beginning and time changes. Spillways - you get hints of Bon Jovi’s Runaway. And on and on. They still have a a heavy element, but it‘s rooted in pop/hard rock sensibilities.
My wife and I saw them in Newark last month, and for kicks got a VIP package. So we got a picture with the head guy, Papa Emeritus IV. When we met Papa, I told him: I grew up listening to Iron Maiden, my wife grew up listening to Wham! - and you guys are our favorite band now. Without missing a beat, he said in his fake broken generic old Euro accent - “Vell, you know vhat dey say - You’ve gotta have Faith!”
If you can get past the gimmick, and you were a child of the 80s, there is a lot to like here. Give this and any of their past few releases a try.
Oh, and they had a car in NASCAR this weekend:

Motor Sister:
Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Jim Wilson (Mother Superior), guitarist Scott Ian (Anthrax), bassist Joey Vera (Armored Saint), drummer John Tempesta (White Zombie, The Cult) and vocalist Pearl Aday (Pearl), Motor Sister was originally formed as a Mother Superior covers band made up of diehard fans – and aided by sharing the same frontman – playing the songs for the love of doing so.

Was never really a fan of Guided by Voices, but this new album is quite likeable. GBV was formed in 1983 in Dayton, Ohio, where Rutgers will play tomorrow. The only remaining original member and the creative force behind the band, Robert Pollard, has 2,400 registered songs to his name with BMI.
I’ve heard of this Billy Strings kid for awhile now and finally got around to giving him a good listen over the last few days. Might not be for everyone, given he’s a bluegrass picker first and foremost, but this guy plays some absolutely amazing guitar and has a killer voice to boot. Have to image Steve Winwood would dig the Mr. Fantasy rendition there in the last video.
He is fabulous and so is his band. I have great respect for his musicianship and his approach to music. They do some real interesting arrangements and when they go full blown psychedelic it is inspiring. Does a nice mix of traditional and boundary pushing. I want to see him live, he is on that bill down in Asbury Park in Sept with Stevie Nicks and Gary Clark Jr. I will look into that.
Slipknot Chapeltown Rag, first single off the album which is being released this summer.
