Rock On

Somebody took rock n roll and pumped it full of estrogen. Has anybody else noticed that every new rock band that appears on the scene always has this depressing down tone to all of their songs? Having a couple ballads or sad songs is good for a band but when every song on the album is about them breaking up with some chick it gets real old real fast.

Great rock bands have written great sad or depressing songs and usually the lyrical and instrumental part of the song is good. Plus if its really good, you might even be able to relate to it. But the only people relating to this new rock are women. Don't get me wrong, i love women and there are a lot of good women musicians out there (mainly Heart), but rock n roll used to be a dudes thing. Whatever happened to the testosterone driven bands like AC/DC?

Sure they had a bunch of songs about chicks, but it was all about getting laid not crying over them. But basically what im saying is that rock needs to get a shot of adrenaline and start to not suck again. We need rock to feel like someone screaming at us, spitting on our face and then rubbing our head in the dirt. Thats what rock should do, not make us want to get in touch with our inner feelings but make us take our feelings out on other people. So for all the manly-ness still left in rock, ROCK ON.
