- Out With The Old, In With The New! Rock & Roll Needs An Infusion! Four New Rock Bands to Consider!
Hey everyone!
It seems that for the past 20 years no one Rock band has been able to come to the fore and dominate the Rock scene like some of the Iconic Bands from the 60s & 70s did so very easily!
There have been contenders from time to time, but not one single band has truly been able to pique the interest of listeners of Rock for more than one album, often losing their momentum with their sophomore efforts or second album!
What happened? Where are the new Beatles, the new Led Zeppelin? Are there new and exciting bands out there to be discovered?
Well that’s exactly what is discussed in tonight’s video!
And as usual if you enjoy tonight;s video, please consider giving it a Thumbs-Up as that helps the RUclips algorithm better identify the channel to a larger audience!

The Bottom Line
![Twenty One Pilots - “The Line” (from Arcane Season 2) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E2Rj2gQAyPA/mqdefault.jpg)
Part of the problem is that the last two generations of music creators only listened to what they wanted to listen to growing up. Their personal listening devices allowed them to turn off any music they didn’t love. The soundtrack to their lives was funneled and streamlined to what they wanted plus the music of video games. Meh.
The folks that created the classic rock of the 60’s and 70’s grew up listening to what their parents wanted to listen to. They had to! That included classical, show tunes, big band, ethnic, traditional country, jazz, etc. That variety infused their musical palette when they created songs. That’s why there was so much more creativity. They pulled from a wider variety of influences.
Don Brewer Of Grand Funk was a pretty good drummer/vocalist.
A newer band that I think is pretty strong in the hard rock vein is Black Stone Cherry.
You bring up an unimportant point here DC!
There IS something to be said to listening to AM back in the day, and hear Sammy Davis Jr one minute and Led Zeppelin the next!
From Terry Jacks to Elton John, the from Helen Reddy (GAG!) to Badfinger all within a 20 minute time period!
Such listening certainly expanded MY horizons!
Great comment!❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Thanks Michael. I enjoy your channel.
Great point here.
Excellent observation.
That's an interesting take. I never looked at it that way, but it makes sense.
Michael's passion when he talks about music will always keep me coming back to his channel. He loves what he does!❤️
Thanx so much Briana! Music has saved me in oh-so-many-ways!❤❤❤👌😉
And we love Michael. Proud to be part of this very cool tribe.
I saw crownlands live in Ottawa last year. It was just two of them and they sounded huge. I was very impressed
Here's a band to check out. "The War On Drugs" The lead singer and guitarist actually leaches the bombast out of Springsteen, excises the archness of Dylan and cinches in the girth of Young’s noodling. Natchez’s sax is a rhythm instrument, rather than a lead, adding texture to the warm thrum and enveloping oscillations of this immersive band. In recompense for all those edits, Granduciel adds in a wistful haziness and a sore but beating heart, worn on a frayed sleeve.
I'd love hear a new front to back classic rock album with no generic riffing or overdone soloing.
That’s what I love about Dirty Honey Jason! Everything’s there, just not the excess! Thanx, Brother!❤❤❤
I totally respect Greta Van Fleet. I gave up on U2 about 10 years ago... but still respect them overall. Will check out the bands you mentioned.
I hear you Larry! I have a whole lot of respect for U2, but I think their time has come!
But who wouldn’t want one more masterpiece? 😉👌👍
The problem is since 70s, for every past decade music industry slowly lacks good songs. From one great album every 15 days when we were young, nowadays, we search for interesting music with binoculars. The more technology advances, the less quality music produced
I agree with you Bill! But these four bands for me really breaks that cycle! Give Dirty Honey a listen, I think you’ll love them!❤❤❤
Lack of good musicianship is the problem . lf you can play and play well you can create original and valid music . Just look at the music and bands from the '60's and 70,s and compare it to the present manufactured pap . Dumbed down music for a dumbed down society .
@@clouddog2393 Yes
I think Greta Van fleet is an excellent band. Real players original songs and no auto tune fakery. Dead Dasies also rocks my boat.
Great episode,Michael. Such a drag we lost another legend today with the passing of David Crosby. What a voice! No auto tunes for him. RIP legend. ✌️
Hey Mike. I haven't listened to any of these bands...YET. I have heard of two of them. My ears are hungry for some good new music. Thanks for another informative video!!
Be sure to check out Dirty Honey Greg!
Talk about fresh!🍞Mm-Mn-Good!❤❤❤
The Warning, Dirty Honey and Mammoth WVH did a show last year at the House of Blues in Las Vegas. The consensus after the show was how the performance of the 3 English fluent young women from Mexico overshadowed the 2 more well known groups.The only cover they have recorded in the last few years was a rework of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" for the "Blacklist" album. Three albums and an EP since 2017 - all originals. I like Dirty Honey and Dorothy but the Warning's sound is
truly special. Two great singers and as instrumentalists the three play as one.
Yep that's true
I saw them in their hometown Monterrey back in 2018
Sounds like the 70's rock, Real Rock, with musicians that play and singers that sing , is back in the saddle ...I hope
Amen to that Chopay!😉👌❤
I'm sooo glad you listed Dorothy & Dirty Honey! All of Dorothy's albums are 🔥& very diverse. I can't wait for new material from DH
I’m with you on that tizzy!😉❤
They are awesome!
Someone already beat me to mentioning "The Warning". They did a Metallica cover ten years ago when the bass player could barely hold the bass. She just turned 18. They are known for hard-driving rock, but they do other songs that aren't so "in your face". Also worth mentioning I think is Evanescence. They did some good stuff after their "Fallen" album, which really didn't merit so many millions sold if I'm being honest. Their last (The Bitter Truth - 2021) is pretty heavy, but they always throw in some creative stuff just because it's Evanescence, and Amy does love her some Mozart.
Thanx Ronald! I’m taking notes!
Not that you’d ever be able to reading them! My penmanship lacks any readability whatsoever! Not that my typing is any better!😉❤👌
As Susan Boyle proved, anyone can be great at any age. There’s always room in my music library for both the 20 something newbies as well as the rockers who’ve been around for decades.
Thanks for giving publicity to new bands who will carry the flag of rock'n roll into the future🎸🎸 There are many new Hard Rock, AOR and Classic Metal bands that can give older bands a run for their money. My Top 10 new bands from 2023:
- Sarayasign (Melodic Hard Rock)
- Stray Gods(Trad Metal)
- Lazarus Dream (Melodic Hard Rock)
- Scream Maker ( Trad Metal)
- Gathering of Kings ( AOR)
- Cellar Stone ( Hard Rock)
- Lalu ( Prog Rock)
- Radiant ( Melodic Hard Rock/Metal)
- RF Force ( Trad Metal)
- Cleanbreak ( Hard Rock)
Wow Lucha! You have given me some serious homework! Thanx so much for your suggestions here!❤😉👌🤔🎧❤️
I'm tired of hearing people say "i want them to bring rock back" we need to bring rock forward
GEN X, 1965! Michael gets " my music , now labeled CLASSIC ROCK." I love this channel because it takes me back to the nostalgia of 70's 80's REAL ROCK N ROLL.
I can't believe the sound of some of these remastered CDs. Two Yes albums come to mind immediately. Thankfully I have an equalizer and am able to bring Everything in the mix down or it would be unlistenable! I end up reaching for the album and wonder why the hell I threw away 13 bucks on the CDs.
Yeah I hear ya Chris! When done right, CDs are great, but mastering engineers musta had guns held at their heads, because they sure as hell didn’t learn that at engineering school!
DCToonTime brings up a good point. A couple of others I've thought about are as bad as the record industry was, they acted as a filter and promoter for the best of the best. Even getting musicians together in some cases. We had less to choose from, but those were all head and shoulders above what's out today. Another point is that with things like ProTools, a budding writer is more prone to do everything themselves and post on Bandcamp. They don't need a bass player, they don't need a drummer, and they can "fix" their voice. So a lot of people living in their bubbles, never to meet like-minded individuals. And if they do meet up - they're just as likely to collaborate over the internet, giving us that stale, canned sound we've been hearing from even greats. We just have to hope that some high school friends start jamming and have talent for our next Led Zeppelin. Because they'll never post an ad in Melody Maker for a guitarist for a "Genesis like band".
I so agree with you regarding how so many artists are isolated by the very technologies they embrace! Isolation breeds Less-Olation every single time sidekick!❤😉👌
Yes! Playing and developing your talent/songs with other musicians is key. The human element is another factor that is sorely missing from a lot of the process in this cut and paste digital music world.
Stones go on tour - that kills Charlie Watts 😮😂❤ - good heavens that comment ruptured a stitch 😂😂 6:50 RIP Charlie Watts !
I know, I know, but you know, I feel it’s true! If they hadn’t been on tour, we might still have Charlie around! He quite literally looked worse and worse in every interview leading up to his death WEREWOLF!
It hurt to even watch those interviews!🩹🩺🩻!!!
Great recommendations. I literally threw a fist in the air when you mentioned Crown Lands. Fantastic band, one of many from Canada. Thanks!
Greta Van Fleet has a great sound. It’s nice to see a young guitarist who uses a Gibson Les Paul and SG. It’s a big reason why I like their sound.
Hey dude, you just gave me hope again after it was long lost. Thanks!
So glad you are talking about Crown Lands! I've been listening to them quite a bit over the past year or so. They truly deserve a wider audience! White Buffalo and Sun Dance are on my permanent favorites playlist... And, if you've never heard them cover Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, it's worth a listen -- pretty amazing for two guys to do a credible rendition of that song!
❤❤
Thanks for suggesting those new bands, Michael. I had only heard of Greta Van Fleet among those, which on the one hand sound like a Led Zeppelin Boy Band to me, but on the other, the bar is so low these days that I'm ecstatic if any new band is keeping Rock 'N' Roll alive (as I/we know it). So, more power to the Van Fleet dudes. Keep it up.
Other bands/musicians I'd mention that are keeping the Rock flame going are The Black Keys/Dan Auerbach, The Black Angels, and Jack White, notably his efforts with The Raconteurs.
Michael, I like all music, but the new rock bands don't excite me at all. But I am waiting for a resurgence of good rock music someday!
I highly recommend Dirty Honey Lorne! They sound almost like they walked out of the 60s or 70s! Yet brand spanking NEW!❤
DIRTY HONEY YESSSS!!! I’ve seen them three times now…they are so good!! Marc Labelle has the right amount of charisma AND vocal skill to keep you hooked!😍
OH YEAH! They are the find of the year for me Julie! Amazing sound!❤❤❤
Totally agree, Dirty Honey is bad ass and purchased their EP and album, these guys should be huge, all original and fantastic musicians!
Great tips. I´d also point out these awesome acts: Rival Sons, Blues Pills, Lucifer, The Pretty Reckless, Gaupa and Witchcraft.
Rival Sons were in contention for THIS video Carlos! They are coming!
Thanx for your other recommendations! I’ll check them out!❤❤❤
Rival Sons opened for Black Sabbath a few years ago in Brisbane - they were better than Sabbath
The "record industry (tried) killed the vinyl album format about 1990 by going almost Full Stop on releasing on vinyl. A few big names insisted (Neil Young), but for the vast majority of labels vinyl stopped in 1989. There are some releases from this era that saw only record club (Columbia House, RCA Music Club) or foreign vinyl releases. When cds came out they actively marketed that vinyl sucked, was "scratchy, skipped" (yeah, if mishandled sure, cds too as it turned out), and many people switched, replacing vinyl with CD. It was a great time to be building a vinyl collection though!! Market was flooded, and most used lps were $2 or $3!! But the demise of vinyl was (attempted) murder. And, as in so many murders, it was a "family member" that made the attempt.
Yeah Rock & Roll can be a cruel mistress Jim!❤❤❤
Excellent!
Thank you Wayne!😉❤👌
Discovered Dirty Honey over 2 years ago. Love them. There are alot of unknown rock/metal bands out there. Just have to take the time to discover them
Watched your video then went to look for Dorothy. It's been so long since I've heard a new band that impressed me. I'm sold. Going to buy their cd. Thanks!
Hi, Michael. I 've been burning through your videos the past couple of weeks. Always engaging and informative. May I suggest reviews of: Donovan, Al Kooper's Super Session, Alvin Lee, Cream? And, a small critique: I have trouble hearing your voice on a few videos as the background music competes. Your channel is superexcellent.. Rarely a difference in our favorites or opinions. Thanks for keeping the Flame alive, sending you and all a whole lotta love.
Halestorm needs to be added to the list. This female-fronted hard rock band is doing all it can to preserve rock and roll.
I am turning 63 this year, and i love seeing new, young acts out there kicking ass! I have seen both Dirty Honey and Dorthy live and they were excellent. Another great newish band is Crobot, check them out!
Great video, Michael. Dirty Honey very nice; Crown Lands very fresh sounding young band, good stuff. Couple bands that have been around for awhile are from Sweden: Bonafide'' and 'Dynamite', nothing fancy just simple and effective
Nothing fancy with a little simple and effective works for me GOG! Nice hearing from you!👌😉❤️
Michael, I really liked your show on new bands, and I bought all four bands' cds you recommended and is like them all! Please do another show on new bands soon. Thank you.
Thanks for the love dude! ❤
I saw GVF at House of Blues Boston 4-5 years ago. great band
Michael, Thank you for your recommendations. I am about your age. RUclips has opened up a pathway to music I missed from 1969 to 1974. Also I own so much stuff, especially Compact Discs. Also all my home electronics except my smart phone are broken.
I have heard a few of the Greta Van Fleet songs. I liked their first “hit”, but not the couple of other songs.
Still I may just purchase these four albums and extended plays unheard and see if that works for me.
Loud wire just put out an article on all of these new bands two days ago…it’s worth a look. I agree with your sentiments 100% my dude…
As a more 'mature' music fan i've personally never been more excited by a band in the last 30 years since discovering Riverside (rather belatedly) last year. Those in 'the know' so to speak have been citing this band as as exceptional for some years. So I urge those who have not explored this band to investigate especially their first 4 albums. BTW just listened to some Crown Lands...bloody hell they seem fantastic with a sound not dissimilar to the 90s band Badlands.
Riverside , Big Big Train , Karnivool , Steven Wilson and Opeth are great exponents of 21st century prog. Carry that torch fellas !!
Thanx Barrie! I’ll check out Riverside!❤
For my money it's bands coming out of Japan. Check out Band Maid, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus & a plethora of others.
Thanx for the suggestions Richard!❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Love your channel, my brother. Always look forward to it. Keep on rockin',
I’m a U2 fan and Apple has 1 song available now from new album and I am not impressed
I’ll check it out Darin!❤ Thanx for the heads up!😉🤔🎧❤
Take a listen to The Dead Daisies and The Pretty Reckless. There is a bunch of good young bands out there.
Leave it to the market. If some new band produces a worthwhile product, it will find an audience. It's easier than its ever been thanks to the Internet and social media. No one needs to "make way" for anyone else.
The only problem with the market as I see it Doc,is that it’s rigged to accept lame-assed artists like Beyoncé & Taylor swift!
GAG!!!😖
Billy Joel hasn't had an rock album since 1993!
Michael have you ever heard a group called Royal Thunder? I saw them open a show in Brooklyn about 9 years ago and they really impressed me. I think they'd be right up your alley. A bit of Janis Joplin style vocals with the music of Black Sabbath/Blue Oyster Cult.
Motley Drool 😂😂😂 love it. Get into the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. I’ll keep commenting until you do
I’m gonna check them out Blair! But keep commenting either way!👌😉🎧
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine you got it, sir!
Dirty honey are the dogs bollocks I saw them live in Sheffield last year and yes they deliver .also don't forget about rival sons every album a triumph .Rock n roll is safe
Man, you nailed it with Dirty Honey! They are the best new band I've heard in at least 20 years!
While I love the seventies bands I grew up with I'm always on the hunt for new music. Dorothy is a good choice. I have her 3 albums. Some other good rockers are The Pretty Reckless, Starcrawler and The Hot Breath. Other more blues and americana artists I like are Larkin Poe, First Aid Kit, The Wolff Sisters, Margo Price and Allison Moorer. Also going back the last 20 years, I love Kelly Clarkson, Beth Hart and Thea Gilmore.
Another bit of homework for me Frank! Thanx so much for you recommendations!❤
Hey Michael. I'm pushing 60 and 15 years ago I discovered Avenged sevenfold and I gotta say have been very happy with their output, even the lineup has remained mostly the same accept for the drummer, who passed away years ago. RIP Rev 🥁 one of my favorites is "Hail to the King" you should check out, it's Rock and it Rocks 🎸
Also there's an Asian band called Band Maid also Killin it, all girl band with good licks.
nice one Michael love DIRTY HONEY 'S sound .raw Rock.
There's a couple things at play here. The biggest is we live in a nostalgia heavy culture now. So much of our entertainment is based on what was done 30-40.years ago. Nothing wrong with loving old art. I love it as well. But it makes it hard for anything fresh to come out of the woodwork. I also think rock music needs a serious shake up. There needs to be a band that has that dangerous "fuck you" swagger that made bands of yesteryear so appealing. That or someone needs to come up with a new sound that makes everyone go "oh what's that." It's been awhile since rock has had either, in my opinion. But I do respect Great Van Fleet and Black Stone Cherry. They have talent.
I've got to say Crown Lands are something special from my neck of the woods :) Funny that even though I live close to them, I never heard of them. I guess the old days of listening to R&R on the radio is no longer. Thanks for letting me know they exist. I may have to go to Massey Hall in March to see them live
The Fort Collins / Denver area is spawning so many good talented post-pandemic new rock bands that I can’t keep up!
Hey Michael, what about Rock-a-Billy???? Rock-a-Billy sounds fresh to me. I'm sick of classic rock and discovered modern Rock-a-Billy a few years ago. It has energy!!! What about the Stray Cats, Tiger Army, Hillbilly Casino, Hillbilly Hellcats, Jackrabbit Slim and so forth????
Good Rockabilly has always sounded fresh to me Denzil! The Stray Cats became big despite being Rockabilly is the 80s of all decades! The SCs are awesome!❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I do enjoy your videos about music and artists!
Plenty of great new music out there, it's just not many have heard it. Here are some...The Vintage Caravan, Aqueous, The Dead Daisies, Big Something and there are plenty more. Give em a listen!
Don’t overlook your local bands, their albums are probably on Bandcamp and they’d appreciate your support!
I don't necessarily think that we need to go that extreme. What I think needs to happen more is for younger up and comers like Greta continue to be given opportunities like they had last year opening for Metallica. They got to perform and introduce themselves to thousands upon thousands of diverse fans every night.
Your right about them touring with Mettalica being a big boost for them Ron! I saw them in San Francisco just befor Lockdown, and they were superb!❤❤❤
Hannah Wicklund and The Stepping Stones is another great band they only have one album from 2018 but they opened for Greta Van Fleet on their most recent tour. They’re fronted by the talented singer songwriter and electric guitar player Hannah Wicklund and they have an amazing blues rock sound
I simply judge what I like not when, orwho it was written for, in other words, the era ort year doesn't matter to myself. Oh, 'some toured more than lived!' hilarious, Michael!
I'll be forever grateful to grow up in the late 60s early 70s in the Pacific Northwest ‼️‼️ my friends and I followed Lynyrd Skynyrd Torture Tour of the west coast 🤪🤣😂🤣😂🤪💯💃
Crown Lands is impressive check out them live in studio Right Way Back, two guys can both multitask; sing & drum, guitar (impressive) bass with his foot on a organ pedal. As a Tribe member I do my research as you chat. Dorthy a little too Dirty Homey “Fire Away” excellent!
Yeah, I think they could really break as an exciting act! Great freakin’ singer man!
LOL! I do MY research in my dreams Louis!😂😂😂 I can’t turn it off brother!❤
Hey Michael Neil Young & Crazy Horse has released 3 ‘new’ albums with new music. So if you would ever venture out of your narrow mindset of rock n roll you would know this
Why thanx for the kind direction Tim!❤
Who's Neil young 👎
How about trying out The Warning from Mexico. I am quite impressed with their music, and are awesome live.
The best band in rock right now escapes those who assume to be the experts on it. Band Maid has every quality that the Beatles had. Every single one! I'm 66 years old and I know this to be a fact because I was a witness to what the Beatles had and gave to people. And why they were better than every band around. It's simple. They were happy. They had a little thing called joy. Or do musicians forget that they were not only musicians but funny? This is a fact that most of the pretenders that are supposedly the guardians at the gate of rock are too blind to see. Maybe because they think that such a rock band has to come from what has become the dark western culture. That's their arrogance. But the western musicians gave up on rock music in the late 60's when they decided to hand popular music over to the studios and corporations. They decided that though being an "adult" should have meant being an example of direction, promise, hope, and peace, towards the children they decided instead that darkness, anger, angst, depression, self righteousness, and "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" were more important things to them. Now see what the children have come listen to. That's not coincidental. And it's not the corporations fault when the musicians ceded their turf to them and signed on the dotted line. No one forced them to desire stardom instead of just wanting to play good music that inspires those younger than themselves who need good inspirations. Band Maid are great songwriters and excellent on their instruments. But two things that they have that have been missing from rock since the Beatles is humility and joy. Rather than be a negative downer force like most of the bands have been since the late 60's (even Pink Floyd, which is considered to be on par with the Beatles in some aspects, had lyrics that were without hope and were always negative) Band Maid are happy people. Go figure. Because of that attitude they are following in the footsteps of the Beatles. Anyone who doubts that go and watch the movie Hard Days Night and see the joy that the Beatles had. And then go figure out that that's what was lost when they lost it. Then watch any concert or video of Band Maid, whether on stage or of their regular lives. Funny how happiness creates the best music. Who would have thought that? They are The rock band right now. And it couldn't have happened to better people. Moaning and groaning about what used to be makes you blind to what is in the present. .
The two "new" bands i like are Starcrawler and Lilac. The "new" rock artist I like is Dope Lemon.
Hi Michael, what was Crown Lands album you recommended? I'd like to give it a whirl. Thanks!
album comes from an album of 78s to cover usually a concert or opera.
the lp came out with that in mind. and ambient jazz or bigband music.
popular music was always singles because it was all about having a hit song.
the pop or rock album was always a weird concept: a couple of hit potential and a bunch of filler music. bands should go back to singles honestly.
Yes you’re right and the term LP was used because they could copyright those letters for some reason!
That was during the first format wars of the late 40s and 50s mono!
Good point! But the term album took on a different meaning during the sixties, and that was what I was referring to!
But keep me honest mono!❤❤❤
Love Blackberry Smoke. They can cover about anything and make great original music too.
Give Children of the Sun and Church of the Cosmic Skull a try. Both their 2022 albums ('Roots' and 'There Is No Time' respectively) were excellent
I will Spliff! Thanx for our choices! I’ll check them out!❤😉👌👍
Rival Sons!!
Rival Sons were one of the bands up for consideration for tonight’s video for giant or! More on them in a later video!❤
I actually blame - and most should have thought about this - MTV. Remember that when MTV started, music sales were stagnant until they debuted. Now that MTV had basically abandoned music full time (except for between 4-5 am), where do people go to discover the new bands? RUclips? Vimeo? There’s not even a decent music magazine left today. Honestly, the only new act I heard that possibly stands a chance was BTS…yes, the KPop vocal group. I’m definitely not going to slag Greta Van Fleet, though, as they are a legitimate Rock Band. So what if they have a sound reminiscent of Zeppelin? It works for them.
Thanks so much for the recommendations!! Crown Land didn't do anything for me, really. But Dorothy was damn good and Dirty Honey totally rocks. I'll be buying that EP thanks to you.
The best band to come out in years are The Warning, a three sister rock band from Mexico. They have three full albums and an EP. Speaking of drummers who sing, theirs is excellent, although her older sister is the lead singer. In 2022 they opened for Foo Fighters and Guns 'N Roses. In 2014 they had a viral video of them performing Metallica's Enter Sandman. Last year they were invited by Metallica to appear on The Blacklist album, doing a new version of Enter Sandman, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Black album. Check them out, you'll be glad you did.
I’ve heard of them Brian! I’ll check them out! Thanx for you suggestion brother!❤
Was going to definitely mention them. Their videos of songs from their latest album (Error) are now approaching legendary status.
YOU NAILED IT! Thanks for posting. I was going to mention The Warning via this thread. They should only get better.
They just opened 4 shows for Muse in stadiums.
Rock and Roll is at its core, rebellious and inevitably offense to somebody on some level. Nowadays, however, everybody is so easily offended by just about anything for any reason. Young people (rock's traditional target audience) are now delicate, little snowflakes looking for the nearest safe space because somebody uttered a trigger word in their presence.
A real rock band in 2023 would likely be canceled in a heartbeat by the permanently outraged, sanctimonious Twitter mob.
That's the lay of the land as I see it for rock music in today's cultural climate. If you want authentic rock music, you will be better off checking out a local bar band rather than one that's been sanitized by some corporation pandering to woke Taliban.
Here endeth the rant.
Whateth??? So sooneth George!
But seriously for the most part I agree that there are a whole lotta let’s-cancel-anything-that-isn’t-Hollywood out there!
It sickens me!❤❤❤
Still watching but dirty honey … seen them when they opened up for the b crowes. They were damn impressive. Had an old school stye felt like they had a black crowes, zeppelin and badlands influence . It was awesome
Why rock isn't popular: One school of rock is busy trying to copy the sound (if not the look) of the 70s, so it all sounds dated and intentionally derivative. The other school sounds modern and different, and they have trouble even being considered rock by the old fans. There's not much hope of crossing generational lines anymore.
I think that Dirty Honey sounds as fresh as any band I’ve ever heard, and don’t really hear them as being derivative at all Chris!❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I'd have to listen to them, in particular, again, as I wasn't impressed when I did. Derivative isn't a bad thing, in case my comment sounded like it was. Graveyard is one of my favorite bands, and they totally sound like crusty old blues rock. But I see it has limited appeal to younger fans.
Maybe Dorothy should tour with that classic 70/80s band that did songs “Hold The Line” and “Africa”.
Greta Van Fleet’s “The Battle At Garden’s Gate” is as epic a rock album as has been recorded over the past several decades. It is, in short, a rock masterpiece. Their follow up is in the works and this child of the 60’s is anxiously looking forward to what this band has in store for us all next.
Oh me too David! I’m an avid fan! My Daughter, Wife andré I saw them in San Francesco, and they were truly amazing! Best concert in a decade!❤❤❤
100 Percent agree!! I look forward to seeing them live!! My friend saw them at the Greek theater and he said they were outstanding!!! He said that it was incredible to see the enthusiasm in the teenagers faces during the day and night of the show!!!!!
Perfectly stated.
I thoroughly enjoyed Battle! Josh Kiszka's vocal range is terrific...
That said, one vocal trait I hope gets reigned in is his overuse of the rebel yell emphasis on a lot of lyrics ... oh well...
I saw Greta in Bridgeport CT during 1st leg of Strange Horizons tour. 6,000 people singing every lyric to every song, playing air drums, having a complete blast. For a band that doesn’t get any radio airplay, it proves that their is still an audience that is listening to albums.
Michael Nolan. There is a band that packs arenas that genZ loves. Im 62 and my 13 yr old daughterturned me on to them. Mother Mother is the name. Check out " Life " its from a live show in Europe. Thats a good place to start
Rock music most definitely needs an infusion. There are sparingly few young bands that are making a mark. Thanks for spreading the names of bands worth checking out. Rock won't disappear but it won't be mainstream anymore. The music news outlets just run stories on bands from my generation and older. Bands whose best material is well behind them. I'm tired of reading about these same bands over and over. Get some fresh blood going!
BAND-MAID.
I like all the bands you meantioned women are pretty heavy in today's rock like the trio of sisters from Monterrey called the Warning. I'll get this out now yes they use a daw for in ears for a click track ran by there drummer and singer and songwriter their more than give it a listen. They have toured with Halestorm, and have backed up Muse, Guns and Roses , Def Leppard, and the Foo Fighters 2 show s before Taylor Hawks passed away RIP . I should know I've seen them live 3 times their songs are about the 21st generation as there first album 21 st Century blood in my humble opinion their second independent album Queen of the Murder scene is their best album eventually they got signed by Lava and they have another album z called Error . If I was anyone I would at least give them a listen Daniella on guitar and vocals Paulina on drums and of course Alejandro on bass they all 3 sing
Greta Van Fleet very good band. 😊
No love for the Rival Sons? Jay's one of the best singer out there!
thank goodness Mickael isn't talking smack about iron maiden and judas priest
I actually like both bands Chris!❤ Not crazy about one them performing with Dolly mind you! But great bands!❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine what I meant was that I was glad you didn't want to hang it up. I mean Maiden is still going strong. Priest on the other hand is a bit hanging in there. I'm glad KISS is finally hanging it up. Paul's vocals pretty much destroyed. he wore it out really badly. other aging bands that are doing pretty well like many of the classic NWOBHM bands like Saxon are stilling doing well outside the US.. Motley Crue is embarring themselves and Ozzy who I think still loves touring but he need to just do what Elton John. quit touring. The stones will continue to tour to either Mick or Keith drops dead. despite Keith look like a living dead these days.
Bruce Springstein is old enough to retire and Paul McCartny's vocals is starting to slowly show it age
Kieth indeed appears to be resistant to conventional warfare Chris!😉👌❤
Michael, can you list off some of your favourite legacy acts currently touring giving off a good show and for good prices?
Last year Robert Plant & Alyson Kraus comes to mind! $250 for really great seats, and about $100 for decent seats! I’ll be check for 2023 alternatives and bring that up in a future video Thomas!❤❤❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine No problem Michael and is it okay if I'm mentioned in that video as it really is one I'd love to see on your channel!
Btw I'm not sure if you can check past ticket price information but my first ever concert is the Unity Tour of New Order and Pet Shop Boys previously on October 16 2022. Neil or Bernard Summer (forgot who said this) thanked the audience for their patience since beer bug panic delayed them for 2 years and put on a great show. New Order played first followed by a DJ break and then Pet Shop Boys finished their set without any acts preaching their politics. Their tour could be used as a big example of legacy acts charging fair prices including for VIP ticket prices. Plus they played inside Roger's Arena in Downtown Vancouver and the stage has no behind seats meaning all nosebleed seats have either left, center and right. No behind the stage back watching as for Springsteen's show in Tampa Bay. All nosebleed tickets can be seated to see the band in front
My parents took me there and my upper left top nosebleed ticket only cost me $64 Canadian dollars and a VIP package costs $612.
If you like Greta Van Fleet you should have a listen to Australia’s all female group, Stonefield. Grew up listening to their parents record collection from the 60s and 70s in rural Victoria, Australia.
What, no Rival Sons? I know they've been around but many still haven't discovered them.
There’s no lack of excellent modern rock bands out there-they hide right out in the open. But in this day and age, how does rock become the leading force in mainstream music again?
Larken Poe and Samantha Fish both rock out.
Thanx for the suggestion RES! I’ll check them out!❤
Larkin Poe and Samantha Fish are great I’m my opinion. Good suggestions
Samantha Fish and Rebecca Lovell share the same January 30th 🎂
Rivals sons and dirty honey are really good too lucky our radio station plays them
Give "sky Blue Sky" by Wilco a serious listen. it is a 10 in my book.
Thanx Donald! I’ll be sure to give it a listen!❤👌
Wilco is an incredibly overrated band. I was impressed with Tame Impala's Lonerism because essentially Tame Impala is a one-man-band (Kevin Parker) and he was channeling Revolver-era Lennon and '60s psychedelia on that album. After that, it became more synth-heavy, but Lonerism was solid work. Dirty Honey is definitely another cool younger band channeling '70s arena rock. I will be interested to see where they go after their solid debut album. I also like the 2-man approach of Royal Blood.
Thanks for the great recommendations, Michael!
And a big thank you for YOUR suggestions Bruce! I’ll be sure to check them out!❤
I thought I was gonna get crucified for saying what I did about Wilco! Whew!😅😅😅😉❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Ha! Like you, I gave them a fair listen and just never got the hype, so I’ve got your back on this one. 👊🏼
The latest single from Paramore titled The News showcases the band's Rush and prog-rock influences.
I know Paramore is NOT a genuine rock band but you've got to respect the FACT that they cite Rush, Queen and Cheap Trick as influences in their music. And their 2014 dance-rock hit Ain't It Fun is a fun and catchy little number.
not a rock band, but I though Fleet Foxes were a breath of fresh air, -whatever happened to them ?
Dorothy are awesome!
