I saw the Red Hot Chilli Peppers a few years ago, and got really disappointed of Anthony Kiedis as a frontman, he didn't even interacted with the fans. I also saw Maroon 5, and Adam is worst than people say, he is actually rude with the fans.

Did any of you had similar disappointing experiences?

  This will come to no surprise the lead singer of Oasis (Liam Gallagher) many years ago at a concert Oasis was the headliner. In the middle of the first song Liam was pointing at some girl in the audience, telling her to come to the stage. She went, they disappeared the rest of the show while his brother had to sing all the songs.
  
  No shits given on Liam’s end

  Worst and best concert. Hole, Oasis, and REM played an outdoor venue in August. Hot as hell. Both Courtney Love and the Gallaghers were so fucked up, neither band could play their songs. In the audience are a bunch of people sweating watching a train wreck.
  
  Then REM came on stage at dusk and saved the day.

  Michael and Thom Yorke are really close friends in real life, so it should come as no surprise really.

  I saw Hole at Lollapalooza '95 in Vancouver. Courtney Love was so inebriated that her onstage vibe completely ruined my fun mushroom trip. I was suddenly depressed and had to leave the concert. Total buzz kill. Sheesh!

  Sucks. Saw her with my hs girlfriend in Connecticut in the 90s. Courtney had just broken up with Trent Reznor so she bitched between songs about how she was "dissed". Later found a bootleg CD of the concert at a head shop and gave it to the gf as a gift. She still has it because she could hear herself screaming at some points. Show was pretty decent and didn't devolve as badly as other stories made her out to be.

  Doesn’t surprise me, Oasis and Hole sucking ass and REM killing it. Michael Stipe is a true performer, a perfectionist, and a very decent human being.
  
  u/TWH_PDX | (2023-11-27 21:48) | [14 pkt]
  
  I was surprised REM agreed to be on the bill because it wasn't exactly an industry secret that Oasis and Hole were horrible live.

  Michael Stipe was friends with Kurt and Courtney. He also recently was the officiant for Francis Bean's marriage.

  To be fair, R.E.M. — although consummate professionals once they became massively popular — paid their drunken-show dues in the ‘80s, with onstage quarrels and long weird sets of covers. The difference is they were actually kind of awesome when they were fucked up.

  Agreed they are Knobheads. But when they are putting the effort in they are damn near unbeatable. They have a lot of mega songs and 3 perfect albums.
  
  u/BuckRusty | (2023-11-27 17:04) | [214 pkt]
  
  I’m 100% certain that the only reason he was in the band is that Mrs. Gallagher made Noel take him along when practicing with his band. Over time, to get him to stop being a prick during their rehearsals, they let Liam have a tambourine. Then a bit later, when that stopped working, they let him sing.
  
  I was never hugely into them, but I much preferred Noel’s singing, and it always felt like all Liam contributed was shit behaviour to get attention.
  
  u/legit-posts_1 | (2023-11-27 17:30) | [98 pkt]
  
  Even though Noel was the better singer, Liam fit a lot of their songs better. For example, I don't think Rock and Roll Star would sound right with Noel singing lead.

  Wrong. Liam and Bonehead formed the band. Noel was already a roadie and when he went back to Manchester to visit, Liam told him about the band. Liam then ALLOWED Noel to join the band as a songwriter because he knew Noel had more musical experience. Noel was shocked over how great Liam’s vocals were so he agreed to join in. The rest is just an aftermath of 2 working class kids with tons of trauma who became rich rockstars within days.
  
  u/stevemillions | (2023-11-27 17:43) | [37 pkt]
  
  Oasis was.actually Liam’s band. He let Noel join. Mainly so they would then have some decent songs.
  
  He sure has acted like a dick over the years; but I saw them very early on, and man, that dickhead could sing like a motherfucker. Awesome voice.

  Keith and Donna Jean quit the band so they could quit drinking. Unfortunately, Keith got into a car accident about a year later and quit everything.
  
  u/truckingon | (2023-11-27 17:48) | [50 pkt]
  
  Keith and Donna fought a lot on the road, and Keith was nodding out on stage due to heroin use. But the rumored last straw, which I believe, was that Jerry caught Keith rummaging through his briefcase.
  
  Edited to fix typo.

  u/CariniFluff | (2023-11-27 18:33) | [15 pkt]
  
  Donna quit because she wanted to go back to her gospel singing roots after she and Keith released their eponymous album in 1975.
  
  She certainly had some slight issues with Bob when they were trying to sing in harmony, again due to her gospel singing roots. By '79 Keith was a mess and Bob and Donna could see their paths diverging so Keith and Donna left and created the "Heart of Gold Band". Keith passed in 1980 and Donna moved to Alabama. She never performed with the Dead again until Jerry passed.
  
  Donna's first solo release was in 1984.
  
  u/lameuniqueusername | (2023-11-27 20:13) | [13 pkt]
  
  I think her claim that she couldn’t hear herself in the monitors is pretty believable as she does have a great voice elsewhere
  
  u/CariniFluff | (2023-11-27 20:50) | [12 pkt]
  
  No doubt, even just listening to soundboards from the mid-late 70's you can hear when she's bumping her vocals up a notch because she couldn't hear them in the mix going to the monitors.
  
  Thankfully it's not that common anymore but for a long time people would rag on her "caterwauling" where her voice would just pop into the mix. I'm sure she was just as frustrated as everyone else.
  
  The best shows ever (IMO) were those mid-late 70's shows when Donna and Bobby were having a good night together.

  Sort of off topic.
  
  David Bowie and Mick Jagger staged an intervention for Freddie Mercury's cocaine addiction.
  
  Let that sink in.
  
  Can you imagine that? two people who are well known for the copious amounts of drugs they do thought someone else was doing so much coke that they needed to chill. Rumor has it that Freddie would throw lavish parties. He would hire little people to walk around with trays strapped to their heads. On these trays was coke and straws. Fucking wild man.

  Having worked in music for ages I can honestly say those old analog boards are designed to run on cocaine. It helps lube the faders, it adds a rich tone to all the guitars as well.
  
  u/OFool_Ishallgomad | (2023-11-27 19:48) | [15 pkt]
  
  I worked with an engineer in Burbank who had been in the biz since the '70s. He said a sales rep for some mixing console manufacturer came into his studio, and talked up a line of boards that featured a coke mirror that was built right into it. I don't know if this guy was full of shit or what, but it sounded crazy enough to be true.

  I happened to see Maroon 5 and Everclear on the same night at this free concert series they used to do in downtown Nashville when I was in college. Maroon 5 had like zero radio presence at the time and it was weeks, if not days, before that first single broke nationwide. I’m somewhat ashamed to say this but they absolutely kicked ass on that specific night. Everclear was trash though.

  I actually remember kinda liking them as well think it was the album someone above mentioned. I mean from what u can remember they weren't all that bad back then but the music that followed was some of the lamest most poppy guitar music ive ever heard. I actually think I hate guitar pop more than regular pop its kinda like you all learned to play instruments to play that shit music?

  Maroon 5 is two different bands. Songs About Jane Maroon 5 is a funky jazzy highly talented rock band fronted by an egotistical but talented asshole. They made great music.
  
  Everything since then Maroon 5 is a watered down boring pop band front by an even worse egotistical asshole who I'm not sure has even retained his talent. They make awful music.

  It's funny, I made the drunken decision a few years ago to go see Maroon 5 with friends at a nearby venue, and I'm the classic "their first album was great but everything since has been downhill" person, so I went into it basically going for the memes
  
  But honestly they kinda kicked ass, the band was tight and Adam seemed like he was having fun, plus he sounded good. I knew about their live reputation going into it too so I really expected a dead show but it was surprisingly solid

  I doubt whether any frontman can disappoint as much as Ian Brown (Stone Roses). “Limited range” does not do his signing voice justice.
  
  His guitarist was great tho, had laser rings on and kicked his Marshall monitor to reveal it was a beer fridge!
  u/harlei7 | (2023-11-27 14:09) | [147 pkt]
  
  The Stone Roses debut is one of the most perfect albums you will ever hear but even in their heyday day, it was a coin flip whether you’d get Ian Brown on a good or bad day live.
  
  When I saw them at their reunion, the audience sang so loud and he was subsequently mixed so low that it almost didn’t matter because the songs were so good. That said, he was so offkey in moments it was unreal

  Saw him supporting Catatonia at a big festival they did.
  
  Crowd weren't into him much at all (99% drunk Welsh) but halfway through he starting hectoring the crowd.
  
  "Are you all on barbiturates?" was my fave.
  
  But the man had zero charisma, zero presence and zero ability to interact with anyone.

  I saw them at a festival and they were awful, thought to myself "maybe they're just not suited to large outdoor festival type gigs" as is the case for some bands.
  
  Saw them a while later supporting Korn and they were awful, thought to myself "maybe they're just not suited to 20k arena type gigs" as is the case for some bands.
  
  Saw them headline a small (around 1500 capacity) local show and they were awful, thought to myself "maybe they just fucking suck".

  He does. If I remember correctly he was diagnosed with Bipolar a while back.

  At MSG? I saw him there in October and was kind of stunned at how good he sounded. He was hitting high notes he hasn't attempted in years. I kept looking for signs of a track, but I'm sure he wasn't using one.
  
  I guess quitting smoking and losing weight will do that. Good for him - I hope to see him again.

  She's never been much of a singer. The band is pretty good, but they belong in smaller venues.
  
  Friend of mine went to the RRHOF show where the Go-Gos were inducted. He got live, raw footage of their performance. A few weeks later, you could see clips of that sand performance on YouTube from the official RRHOF account and let's just say the engineers did a heroic job of editing that show to make them sound good.

  Saw Muse in Toronto a few months ago, one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen, they’re so good live. Not just the sound but the presentation, fire, streamers, Matt Bellamy running around while simultaneously playing insane guitar riffs and getting to the mic just in time to hit insane notes and not be out of breath somehow. Muse truly are something else.

  I’ve also seen 30STM two other times and can confirm Jared never gets better.

  When I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done. SO when there i am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece, and who walks in, but Lou Reed.
  
  I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him, as he read a magazine and waited, but didn't know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want her to bother Lou, but she wouldn't stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Lou put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.

  Reed was a complete prick to the point of parody. He elevated acting like a massively overentitled diva into basically an art form. He was an innovator in prickishness, devoting a substantive portion of his life towards finding new and fascinating ways to treat people so horribly they'd remember it for decades.

  I know Reddit likes Snoop but man....
  
  Stadium is full and we all jamming to his tunes, he's like "everyone gimme a YEAH" and the crowd shouts enthusiastically.
  
  Then he's like "gimme a HELL YEAH", crowd is right behind him screaming HELL YEAH
  
  He goes "not loud enough" so the crowd literally doubles it's volume and shakes the stadium HELL YEAH
  
  "Not loud enough" Now because, in my estimation, the crowd gave probably as good as it could the last time, this time was just as loud.
  
  "Not loud enough" Now the crowd is like wtf, ok, and does it but not as loud as the previous time.
  
  He progresses to repeat this 32 times, each time the crowd is less and less enthusiastic until it's literally quiet when he decides to play another song.

  How about frontwoman? Because I saw Lauryn Hill twice, and she was awful both times. Her reputation for starting shows late is almost a meme at this point, and she was late for both shows I saw, but I wouldn’t have minded that as much if she actually performed like she wanted to be there, which she did not. The sound was awful, there were stretches of songs where she either forgot the lyrics, sung the wrong lyrics, or just didn’t sing at all, and one of the shows I swear was barely an hour long and then she just bounced, no encore, just walked off stage after a song, then after a couple minutes, up came the house lights.

  Bob Dylan. Lights come on, Bob sings, stage goes dark. Lights come on, Bob sings. Stage goes dark. Repeat for an hour. Bob walks off, never says a word. This was in 2011 and my dad fell asleep during the gig.

  The best show I've ever seen was Bob Dylan. The worst show I've ever seen was Bob Dylan
  
  He is truly the most inconsistent performer. Especially these days. Back in the day, in like 1966, he was mostly solid night to night. But ever since 1976 or so it all changed. Likely due to the divorce.
  
  I think the bigger variable is the year and "era" he's currently in at any given time though
  
  u/Raycrittenden | (2023-11-27 14:06) | [250 pkt]
  
  Ive seen Dylan around 10 times since 96 ... your statement is spot on. When he is on, its unreal. When he isnt, its really bad. I would only say that two of his shows were bad, the rest were either really good or great. I saw him a couple weeks ago for the first time in 10 years, i had low expectations, and he was great.
  
  u/cheyannepavan | (2023-11-27 18:40) | [25 pkt]
  
  I bought my parents tickets to see Dylan in 2000 and they said the show was just horrible. Then they saw him again 2-3 years later and said it was the best show they've ever seen.

  I'm convinced he's been trolling people since the 60s. He'll do like 15 shows where he's absolute garbage, then on the 16th show do a complete return-to-form amazing show that people will hang on to for the rest of their lives.

  u/timberwizard | (2023-11-27 14:36) | [153 pkt]
  
  My buddy has seen him multiple times. Said if you see him at a stadium or arena, he's just collecting a paycheck. If you see him at a small, intimate show he's completely different. At one of those small shows he'll get super into it, but expect him to play only what he's interested in playing that night, most likely no hits.
  
  u/Outrageous_Arm8116 | (2023-11-27 14:44) | [159 pkt]

  2499 is the limit. I was at a 2499 person show and he was cracking jokes, playing the hits, telling stories. Then another person came into the room and he said, "Bob can count to 2500" and for the rest of the night he didn't talk at all and only played stuff from Knocked Out Loaded

  u/TRex_N_Truex | (2023-11-27 22:19) | [65 pkt]
  
  Saw them close Riot Feet this year, Smith didn’t speak for the first hour and a half of the show. Finishes a song and says, sorry I’m not talking much but there’s a hard curfew and I think yould rather hear music instead of me talking. Towards the end he did a little bit more banter but you can tell his intentions were so genuine. One of the best live performances I’ve ever been at.
  
  u/afipunk84 | (2023-11-27 18:41) | [13 pkt]

  Matisyahu. Circa 2008
  
  I heard he’s changed since, but when he first started he didn’t necessarily approve of weed and would be judgmental with the crowd.
  
  At reggae festivals. Read the room bro.
  u/Adept_Order_4323 | (2023-11-27 13:41) | [292 pkt]
  
  Circa 2018
  I saw Matisyahu at a super small venue, maybe 100 people. He had recently changed into his ‘surfer persona’. He showed up an hour late, wasted, in bedroom slippers w his stripper girlfriend. Was a complete disaster. Not even a resemblance to his show @ Stubbs in Austin. Very sad to have witnessed.

  He overstayed his set at a festival I saw him at in 2010ish. You could see the festival organizers on the side of the stage doing everything they could to get him off stage. It seemed like he knew his time was up and just kept performing. Kinda a dick move bc you're just cutting into someone else's slot
  
  u/Resident132 | (2023-11-27 14:03) | [71 pkt]
  
  Its a dick move for sure. Gets everything off schedule and at festivals especially its a lot of work just to stay on schedule so it just craps on the techs hard work and then messes over the fans as its usually the headliners everyone came to see that get cut short by the set stop time.
  
  u/im_joe | (2023-11-27 15:37) | [68 pkt]
  
  I've seen him twice.
  
  Once about fifteen years ago and then again this summer.
  
  The first time I saw him, he seemed energized and really enjoyed being there. Smooth flow, lots of smiling, dancing, and very into the music.
  
  This last summer he got wasted on stage. He smoked a ton of pot and was drinking constantly on stage. Didn't look at the crowd, and he looked like shit.
  
  I was pretty disappointed.

  u/jedi_trey | (2023-11-27 13:01) | [227 pkt]
  
  It was the blunderbuss tour. For those unaware, he released an album and then toured with two bands, an all female and an all male band which he would randomly choose the night of. I'm from New York and saw him at Red Rocks in CO a few weeks prior with the all female band. It. Was. Awesome! So much so that when I got home I immediately paid a ridiculous amount on stub hub to get good seats for me and my wife at RCMH. He came out that night with the male band so I was so excited that id get to see "both". Then that shit happened and it was so disappointing that I just stopped listening to him. It wasn't a conscious decision, but every time I heard a song I read like, "ugh," and would just put on something else. I'm over it now and blunderbuss is still one of my favorite albums but I haven't heard any of his solo music since

  I was at the White Stripes "one note show" in Newfoundland on their Canadian tour, where they played one note and peaced out, it was established before hand that's what would be happening, Ben Blackwell was there and informed the crowd, the Canadian side shows would also be announced on their message board (this was in 2007), funny part was all the music blogs that picked up on it saying it was a slap in the face to their fans, when it was all just supposed a silly stunt. They played a full (awesome) set later than night at the local arena. Jack definitely comes across as temperamental, maybe he was having a bad night at RCMH, but that's no reason to cut the show short like that

  Saw them back in maybe 2003 and he did the same thing, but the security guards tried to stop him. They grabbed his pants... which slid right off his very skinny ass, but they couldn't pull him back.
  
  He was going commando. So he crowd surfed with his junk out and his pants around his ankles for a few minutes.
  
  To this day, it's the most famous naked ass I've ever seen in person.

  The Strokes can be such a hit or miss live. It’s so dependent on Julian’s state/mood. They’re one of my all time favorite bands but I’ve only ever seen them live once in 2010 and it was great. They never really play in my city though so I would have to spend extra money to travel to see them and it honestly has never seemed worth the risk

  To add more to my comment, she came out, sang, said she ate taco bell and she's not feeling well, and ran off the stage. Her band kept jamming, and eventually she came back and promised next time she was in town she'd play longer, and that was it. (She came back to town later, and definitely didn't play longer)

  Manson. Granted both times I've seen him live were well past his prime. Dude was piss drunk and on fuck knows what else. Mumbled incoherently into the mic, and was so cringe that I almost felt bad for the guy.
  u/sabotaged88 | (2023-11-27 13:36) | [137 pkt]
  
  I saw Manson about 4 or 5 times between 2007 and 2015, and you genuinely didn't know what kind of performance you were going to get tour to tour. He could do a decent vocal performance, but not much of a show or he could really go all out on stage with the show, but his vocals were terrible or you could get hime just genuinely seemingly like he doesn't care about any of it at all. During at least one of the tours, it was pretty well known that he was going off stage every few songs to get oxygen because he was so out of shape
  
  u/superbek | (2023-11-27 14:16) | [152 pkt]
  
  I saw him open for The Smashing Pumpkins about 5-6 years ago. He kept trying to cut himself on stage for some reason but he was so dehydrated he wouldn't bleed. It went on for entirely too long. Nothing like a 50 year old man with a lot of teenage angst.

  >Meanwhile a 74 year old Sammy Hagar still sounds incredible
  
  Totally. And, he's really mature about everything. Go watch the interview he, Satriani, Michael Anthony, and Jason Bonham did with Howard Stern a couple weeks ago. He talks about Eddie, Alex, Dave, the split, all of it. Oh, and one cool thing in the interview is watching the great Joe Satriani try to play the intro to "Mean Street" and screw up. That tells you how good Eddie was on guitar. And Joe even says "Only Eddie could do that one right," and Sammy explains how they're approaching the tribute tour.
  
  I know I'm in the minority, but I like the Sammy VH albums a bit more anyway. More mature songwriting, and not so much "whoa! oh yeah!" fratbro party rock that DLR created.

  Man that’s a shame he can’t get past that decades into a career. I saw Paul McCartney last year, and he was very self-deprecating about playing new songs. He’d say “Alright, I’m going to play a new song next so you can go to the loo or get a beer, or stay and enjoy it!”.

  I always wondered how artists felt about this. I saw Peter Gabriel about a month ago, and *nobody* knew his new stuff, but he totally embraced it. He said something along the lines of "I recognize many of you won't know these newer songs, and that's okay, that's why I hired *so-and-so* and *so-and-so* to create such wonderful visuals to go with the music."
  
  He wasn't wrong. The stage visuals were head-spinningly incredible.

  This goes back to the 90s but Axl twice in Philadelphia. The first one they didn’t get on stage until almost 11pm. When the opening act (the cult) were done before 8pm. And the second one he stayed in a NYC hotel to watch a lakers game and never made it to Philadelphia. That one almost caused a riot. He later tried to say he called in sick to work but the rest of the band were there so I don’t believe him

It fell flat on its face in the art community because it became a 1st Amendment issue on free speech, but they still had the “parental advisory explicit lyrics” or “parental advisory explicit content” stickers on albums to warn the parents.

  Well that’s cause they are, or used to be, can’t claim to know how they are currently. Lead singer spit on my at the time girlfriend when I saw them at a small venue when they were super famous. Apparently he didn’t like how a couple guys were dancing so he slammed the microphone on the floor, tried to spit at them, he missed and hit my gf. He then stormed off stage and show ended early. Look up the groove armada story about kings of Leon, complete jack wagons. Linked in comment below.

  My wife and her sister went to see them years ago during their Only by the Night (or whatever their most popular album is called). It was mid winter and they had to wait outside forever. They were super late opening the doors to let people in. They're finally in and can hear them starting their first song so they reun to grab a drink, get to their seats and the show was over 2 songs later. They played 30 minutes then just walked off.

  Just saw them in September in Cincinnati, pretty intimate and solid set, I thought Billy sounded great. He chatted with the audience, acknowledged people are trying to hear that hits and played different renditions of Mellon Collie tracks. They put on a really solid show I thought

  Full disclosure- I'm a big SP fan. I've seen them live 3 times. All three 3 times were different:
  
  \-2012 Oceania tour: Terrible, no interaction, seemed contemptuous of fans, seemed like he hated being there.
  
  \-2014 Monuments tour: Played amazingly, sounded meh vocally, again didn't really show signs of life but absolutely shredded on guitar funny enough.
  
  \-2015 In Plainsong Acoustic tour: He was great! Sounded good, played well, full of charisma, was playful with audience. I think smaller intimate shows are his thing.
  
  u/British_Commie | (2023-11-27 16:16) | [10 pkt]
  
  The Oceania tour and the 20th anniversary tour seem like real low points for the SP 2.0 era, with Billy being especially miserable and bitter.
  
  Since having a kid and James rejoining the band, he seems to have somewhat mellowed and the band’s live performances have been great in recent years.

  Thank goodness I have never had a bad experience with a frontman. probably the worst experience I have had was the entire Pixies band post Kim Deal who do not interact with the crowd at all, but, I already knew they didn't and the actual performance is always superb, so it kind of counteracts the lack of crowd participation
  u/Esin12 | (2023-11-27 12:52) | [52 pkt]
  
  I mean it is what it is. I’ve seen the Pixies once and it was probably one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. But Frank didn’t really interact too much. Though thinking back to it this was their Doolittle reunion tour in like 2010 or something and Kim was there and she tends to be the audience person. But I don’t always need a bunch of stage banter. It suits some folks but not others.
  
  Interestingly though I saw Frank perform solo several years after that (as Black Francis) and he was super conversational and interactive with the crowd. I think he sort of takes on different personae based upon the situation, idk

  He is so bad live. I’ve seen fan twice. Once at universal for Mardi Gras and another time when they opened for matchbox twenty. He doesn’t sing! He sing/talks the lyrics and doesn’t keep up with the music. The band is tight but he is tiring to listen to.
  
  u/Mr_Anthropic_ | (2023-11-27 13:35) | [46 pkt]
  
  Exactly. Reminded me of spoken word poetry or something the way he changes the cadence. I understand he’s been singing the same songs for 30 years or whatever, but I’d think he would keep the well known songs similar. The crowd was trying to sing along but he changed it so much everyone was lost. Mr jones sounded like it was performed by William Shatner.

  Counting Crows put on one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to as well as one of the worst ones. Best was the Recovering the Satellites tour. Loud, full of energy, really tight. Then a couple years ago…. That storytellers tour was horrible. After thirty minutes they’d played two songs and Adam kept changing the vocal arrangements. He literally avoids singing the song the way you know it. I get stylistic flourish but when it’s the whole schtick it gets tiring. I felt guilty talking friends into spending money to go.

  Mark Kozelek. Was a big fan, and I knew he was kind of a dick going into it, but at a show in Chicago he literally offered a male fan $20 to move out of the front row so a woman could take his place. I think he said "I really don't want to look at you". Said other offensive, entitled stuff too. I had to walk out, and I don't listen to him anymore.

  Deftones. Next level awful and I say this as a fan.
  
  This was in 2002’ish on the summer sanitarium tour and there were rumors they were pissed they were opening for Limp Bizkit (understandable). Chino came out and was just mouth fucking the microphone and eventually by the end of the “set” he was just laying on the ground next to the speaker moaning into the microphone. The band looked like even more miserable. Side note, Mudvayne came out before them as the openers and absolutely fucking murdered. They’re excellent live.
  u/The_Dale_Hunters | (2023-11-27 14:08) | [101 pkt]

  Axl Rose. His singing ruins the experience. His stage act isn’t much better. I give him credit for enthusiasm, but not much else.
  
  I expected it given his age and wear and tear. But it was worse than anticipated. The sound guys had to compensate throughout the show to adjust the levels when he switched from his high voice to his low voice.
  
  At least he didn’t use a backing track.

  Hell yeah. I saw them at the Boston garden in 93 I think, and he stormed off the stage mid-show when someone threw a beer bottle at him.

  He’s really taken a noticeable turn with his high voice, which is a shame because it’s his trademark. Even the new songs they are putting out are mostly vocals recorded fifteen years ago. I love them and I’ve seen them multiple times but noticed his crowd interaction is scripted in the same places at each show with him saying the same thing. I k own a big show like that has too run air right but it’s a shame to see it phoned in.

  Axl can be inconsistent, but he and the band work their asses off. They play concerts twice the running time of RHCP shows, and this last GNR tour contained more total performances than Metallica's current tour in a fraction of the months. If they just cut the length of the shows a bit, expanded time between concerts and reorganised the setlist more, Axl could really benefit from it.

  Saw Annie Lenox and Sting when they toured together. I was in the minority who went because of Annie. She opened and past waving at a woman who dressed like her from the 80's, she didn't speak or address the audience. She sang wonderfully but it felt like she was just on autopilot. Then Sting came out did the whole hello city I'm in". Talked to the crowd throughout. Was he also going through the motions? Perhaps, but he made it so he looked happy to be performing for us.

  I know people who saw them after me and had a massively different experience, but Bowling for Soup were a huge disappointment to my 15/16 year old self (about 20 years ago).
  
  I was mostly there for the UK support acts, but I knew Bowling for Soup were at least a fun, pop punk outfit and based on their music videos I expected the gig to be full of energy and for them to be fun on stage and with the crowd. They just walked on, introduced the songs and then seemed to just absolutely phone it in with no energy.
  
  I'll give them a benefit of the doubt though. Might just be a bad gig or maybe it was their first tour in the UK and they were nervous and stressed.

  I’ve gone to see lol Wayne three times. Only once did he actually show up, and he was like an hour late. He got progressively more faded through an abbreviated set and finally just ended the show rolling around and humping the stage to pussy monster. His entourage had to physically grab him and lead him off stage before he started really getting intimate with a stage monitor. It was so outrageous that it was actually kind of great.

  Not sure if this counts since he is the band and front man, but Kanye during the summer of 07 after he dropped Graduation. My god he was full of himself. At Bonnaroo he finally went on at 5 am, after making the crowd wait for like 4 hours. Then at Lolla he walked off the stage after about 6 songs and was yelling at the sound guys and the band through the mic saying how they "ruined his return to Chicago". Kinda lost me as a fan after that summer.

  Crazy Town, circa 2001 Ozfest. By far the worst band I've ever seen. Seth was complete ass. This was a tour with side stage acts such as; Drowning Pool, Adema, NonPoint, and probably more.
  
  I saw that someone was stupid enough to book Seth and Crazy Town this summer for some kind of nostalgia tour. And I had to read the flyer twice because I thought no promoter in their right mind would book such an unreliable junkie. And then a few months later a video of Seth pounding on a band mate went viral. Fuck that guy.

  u/[deleted] | (2023-11-27 13:26) | [75 pkt]
  
  There's a balance. When I go to a concert, I want a performance. Some audience interaction and banter I've seen has been hilarious or powerful or just a interesting part of the show, and some guys don't say a word but have energy and just rock, or do something to pull me in and give me an experience.
  
  What I don't want is to have wound up paying $100 after fees and parking and overpriced drinks just to see a bunch of guys standing in the same spot playing their songs note for note straight off the album as if it was a glorified recording session with no performative energy. I could stay home and listen to the album for that. Yeah, being part of the crowd is cool, but that's not the whole thing.

  I feel like a good frontman really elevates the show. Yeah, cliche banter and uninspired "jokes" are not great. But a great frontman, and the entire band by extension, will know when to give a short break between the songs, what kind of talk will rile people up, and what will guide the energy troughout the entire show.

  I saw Staind on the Family Values Tour back in the early '00s. The dude just stood at the mic with his eyes closed and whined. Didn't move or anything. I got the feeling it was part of the schtick, but it wasn't very entertaining IMO.
  
  Static-X, Linkin Park, and STP fucking killed it, though. Lots of RIPs.

  Politics aside, Aaron Lewis is the whiniest dude I’ve ever heard, and how they made it past that first record is beyond me. Never could get into that band.

  Rivers Cuomo (Weezer) was drunk, incoherent and seemed very shy.
  
  Edit: this show was in 2002.. in the Winter, in Scotland.. maybe Rivers was having issues at home, had one beer too many before going on that night, or something else isolated…
  
  Edit 2: the _music_ was outstanding, the showmanship was lacking that time.
  
  Frank Turner was a good frontman, despite me not being to bond in the slightest with his material.

  I was joking with friends earlier this year about what it would take for me to go see a Weezer show these days. My criteria was "if it's... $20 or less, they play at least half of Blue, and don't play Africa, I'd consider it."
  
  Well, fuck me, because when they came through this summer, a friend got free tickets, they came out and played at least half of Blue, didn't play Africa (it was the house music as they came out, which I thought was actually a kinda funny choice), _and_ it was such a goddamn good, fun show that I will absolutely be going to see them next time they come through, full price, let's fuckin' go. And maybe even if they play Africa.

  Phil Anselmo. Superjoint Ritual. 2004. Came out, started the first song, hardcore barfed on stage, set over. Out of all the bands I’ve seen 500+ shows, this was the worst.
  u/brucecampbellschins | (2023-11-27 18:06) | [13 pkt]
  
  Phil was the worst frontman I've seen live, too (for a big act). It was when they were touring for The Great Southern Trendkill, so 1996 or so. They didn't come on stage until over an hour after White Zombie had finished, so the crowd had lost most of the momentum. Phil seemed drunk and annoyed. He was lazily walking around the stage and insulting the audience for being too mellow. It was true, but it was partially their fault. I did see them twice previously and he was great in those shows, so maybe it was just an off night.
  
  u/brenttoastalive | (2023-11-27 20:06) | [11 pkt]
  
  Pretty sure he was in full-blown heroin addiction at that point. Phil recorded his parts for that album separately from the rest of the band.

  Oh, I just thought of another one! Bright Eyes. Waited for years to see them live.
  Turns out, Conor Oberst is drunk off his ass, forgets his lyrics, slurs words, falls out of key and time constantly.
  He had very talented musicians with him who masked most of his blunders and kept the songs going.
  In between songs, he started on rambling musings that often led nowhere.
  
  It was just sad to watch, I felt bad for him and his band.

  Recently saw RHCP in Brazil and yea, Kiedis is very cold towards the fans. I believe this was the only show I actually noticed a lack of interaction.
  
  Luckily, Flea and Chad made up for it after the show being extra wholesome and chatting with the fans, throwing drumsticks, etc. I believe they realize this flaw of Kiedis and make up for it.

  Saw Avril Lavine at Roskilde in Denmark in 2012.
  
  She didn't know where to put her fingers on the acoustic guitar, so another band member showed her. She strummed that same note the whole song. Good voice, zero personality or instrumental talent.

  Ozzy Osbourne, 2009 (opening for Slipknot).
  It was embarrassing how bad he was. Needed a 15 min oxygen break midway through (the Zakk Wilde guitar solo to fill the time, while impressive, got tiring). This was on top of several other mini breaks where he’d leave the stage. On top of this, his only banter was, “Are you having a good time? I can’t hear you. I can’t hear you.” over and over again.

  Gene Ween was so wasted once he couldn’t play. It was bad. The band ended up leaving the stage and Gene struggled his way through some songs on his own. It was really terrible.
  It was so disappointing as I had seen Ween prior to that show and they were amazing.
  u/[deleted] | (2023-11-27 15:46) | [24 pkt]
  
  Ween has been the most consistently amazing live band I have ever had the joy to experience. I have seen them over 50 times and they are the best. Aaron's addiction and struggles to overcome his demons were leading up to that meltdown at the Vancouver show. They broke up because of it but thankfully he got clean and sober and now they are back together and playing amazingly again.

  John Cougar Mellencamp opened for the Kinks tour in 1980. All he could do to muster the crowd was to call us a bunch of c\*cksuckers and M\*therf\*ckers. He played for 20 min and closed with his only hit at the time I Need A Lover That WOn't Drive Me Crazy. Such a disappointment. Then the Kinks came out and Ray Davies bounded across the stage and had us on our feet and cheering and he did not use one crude, rude or swear word all night. Amazing.

  I know this will be controversial, but Primus truly did suck when I went to see them back around 2014. Maybe it was the crowd too, but the whole thing had very little actual energy to the show

  The Used. Bert climbs to the top of a stack of amps and starts egging the crowd on to throw water bottles at him during one of their songs. Everyone’s throwing bottles and having a great time, until someone hits Bert square in the face. Bert then stops the music, points to the person in the crowd who hit him, and has security throw them out of the festival. Absolute douche.

  The singer in Cake. They played a show that was just them, no opener in Vermont back in 2012. The lead singer was weird af on stage and not in a funny way. He kept saying weird off putting stuff to the audience. Like he wouldn't let anyone control him. It was like he was mad at his therapist. It was very weird.

  Sia
  
  Saw her at the Hollywood Bowl. At least I think I saw her… She stood on a box in the back corner of the stage facing backwards, singing her songs with two dancers interpretively dancing to her music.
  
  No live musicians to be found.
  
  The video screens were playing prerecorded dancers doing the same bit as the live dancers on stage, but even that was 100% prerecorded!

  Red Hot Chili Peppers were staggeringly bad at Roskilde Festival 2007. Yes, it was a sad year where the whole festival drowned in rain, but the band seemed like they just hated being on stage. Kiedis left the stage many times for no apparent reason, and the band was just randomly noodling in the most uninspired way imaginable until he came back. They had zero presence and no charisma. We desperately needed to be cheered up, and they could have done almost anything to achieve it, but we got absolutely nothing. One of the worst gigs I've ever seen, if not the worst.

  I just saw them on Halloween night in a small venue. They were amazing. Pelle really makes every song a performance and brings the crowd in to improve upon it. His banters good too, but the crowd work he does during songs really puts him on the next level. I also respect that he knows his limits on the high notes from their older stuff and adjusts accordingly.

  Honestly it's because of a major stylistic change. Look at One Hot Minute then Californication, they almost feel like they're done by different bands.
  
  There's a good portion of people who only know or like the band RHCP became post-Californication.
  
  Personally I love all 4 of their most recent albums, but I feel like the songs don't compliment each other as well as the earlier albums.

  That's because Dave Navarro was the guitarist at the time of One Hot Minute. Californication is more like Blood Sugar Sex Magik (which came before the two, in case anyone didn't realise) and that's because John Frusciante was the guitarist.

  That's not really "classic" in the sense of what work made their mark in music history. Don't get me wrong, I love it too, and it certainly was crucial to the forming of them as the monstrous presence they became on the music scene.
  
  Still though, they were formative years in the grand scheme of things.

  the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etebeZDt7Eo, there is a fun urban myth around this song, in the middle of the song you can hear the instuments fading away, you instead hear a scream of terror. The myth is, the "playmate" on the cover of the album, who drizzles herself with honey in the photo, got stuck to the glasstable she was sitting on, becasue of the honey. the then stod up to fast and ripped the skin of her thighs. The photo was shot in the recording studio and the scream was picked up on a mic, they kept the scream in, "as a sick joke".

  Why would they be shooting the cover of the album and recording a song for the album in the same place and at the same time? And no soundproofing? Sounds farfetched.

  The version I heard was that, after having her legs ruined by the honey/table fiasco, she went to the studio to angrily tell off the producer. The producer allegedly snapped and killed her in the studio, and thus the scream was recorded.
  
  It doesn't make that much more sense to be honest.

  I remember this urban myth from years ago! It'd freaked me out a bit with me being a young, naive new user of the internet.
  
  The story that I remember is similar to this, but the scream came from the "playmate" being stabbed by one of the band's managers after she threatened to sue after the honey-skin-ripping incident.

  But he has always played the Hillel Slovak songs.
  And for Mother's Milk, he refused to play it again after his return in 1998. However two songs of the Mother's Milk were played during the Stadium Arcadium tour. And of course he played Mother's Milk from 1989 to 1992.
  And what about all the covers they did ?
  They keep saying "OHM is not the Red Hot Chili Peppers". OK. Fine. It's not the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But why not performing a cover of the "One Hot Minute" songs made by this unknown band ? Fuck! If you play "Tiny Dancer" you can play "Walkabout".

  u/Manannin | (2013-02-27 18:57) | [1 pkt]
  
  I think the main reason they no longer play it live was the situation with John Frusciante, after he rejoined the band. At the time of One Hot Minute, he was in real trouble with heroin addiction, and so the songs from that period would have been a painful reminder of this, and I also don't think he was a fan of the songs either, musically. Now that John is no longer in the band again (for happier reasons this time), it would be nice to see if they play any stuff from OHM... but [this](http://redhotchilipeppersfansite.tumblr.com/post/8481378869/no-one-hot-minute-during-im-with-you-tour) makes it look doubtful, if true.

  u/libertyhawkeye | (2013-02-27 16:39) | [45 pkt]
  
  One Hot Minute was one of those good things too. It gets terrible reception overall from music fans because Frusciante crazies (Froosh-heads) dismiss it. Listening to OHM with an open mind, you'll find it's a departure from Mother's Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik as it goes into darker and heavier themes. Tearjerker and Transcending are painfully sad songs in particular. Anthony's relapse was a major influence for the album's theme, and I recall hearing somewhere he doesn't remember how this song ever got recorded properly because he was such a junkie at the time.
  
  And OHM is still one of the funkiest RHCP albums. Flea is at his best IMO. Dave wasn't a bad replacement, he brought something different, but overall it wasn't right for the band so they moved on. It's still a vastly underrated album (Cali is more or less overrated).
  
  u/MedalsNScars | (2013-02-27 17:58) | [14 pkt]
  
  Walkabout is probably the funkiest song I know.
  
  OHM is one of my favorite RHCP albums just because of the diversity of the music on it, and almost every song on it feels like it's taking you on a journey.
  
  Look at One Big Mob, for example. Starts out as this aggressive rock song that mellows down into an ambient experimental-sounding bit that breaks down into a crying baby, then goes back to the ambient bit and slowly builds back up into the aggressive rock. Then as soon as it ends you get hit with the funkiest guitar riff you've ever heard at the intro to Walkabout

  If I recall, Flea co-wrote Transcending so that's why I really like that song's groove.
  
  I think One Hot Minute allowed a bit more freedom for Flea to go nuts, which is something you don't get a whole lot compared to later Chili Peppers albums. You get two bass solos in Coffee Shop and Shallow be Thy Name is wah-bass and slap insanity.
  
  Lastly Pea was written by Flea and he contributed lyrically to Deep Kick too.
  
  Aeroplane is a great song to play, as a bassist myself, my band plays it live every now and then. Walkabout has awesome rhythms and grooves.

  Last time a RHCP song made it high, I posted that Nick Cave quote about how much they suck. People weren't very happy. I couldn't believe I didn't have much support in this. Obviously this is a contentious topic here but I mean, on all of r/music, *everyone* likes this mediocre rock? I don't know what to think.

  true, but Reddit is a gigantic place full of people, many of them youngsters that havent experienced these tunes before, many others nostalgia-heads that love all the same ol' same ol', and a whole bunch of us [even me], who dont really care one way or the other. you cant expect a general music internet board like this not to have the content it has. if originality is what you seek, then go to myspace - the place for bands! otherwise, you might consider unsubscribing from at least this subreddit, and many others full of the same stuff everyday if reposts are really that big of a deal.

Most of my life, "Rock" was the only type of music I liked.
My all-time favourite bands are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston...

I grew up in the 90's, so loved The Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sublime, Soundgarden...... Most of my life, "Rock" was the only type of music I liked.

I grew up in the 90's, so loved The Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sublime, Soundgarden...

Into the 2000's, Rock evolved, but I evolved with it and I found myself loving a diverse set of groups, all loosely "Rock" all putting out new material - Audioslave, Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, The White Stripes, The Killers, MGMT

So you see, I'm not picky, I can appreciate a variety of Pop/Punk/Rock, let's say "guitar-driven" music.

And yet over the last 5 years I've been finding myself listening to these groups less and less, and moving more towards electronic music and DJ's.

The last new group/album that I truly loved was Imagine Dragon's Night Visions. I liked Smoke + Mirrors, but after a couple of listens it fizzled out on me.

Of course my old standbys are still releasing material I like (Metric, Muse, Foo Fighters - I've loved all of their recent work). But I'm wondering about new artists.

Help me /r/music rock lovers. What are new rock artists that you think I would enjoy? Hopefully I've listed enough artists that you can tell what I tend to like

**edit:** Thanks for all the recommendations so far, lots of promising leads. Since so many people suggested them, yes, I am aware of and love *Queens of the Stone Age*, though to me they are a 90's/00's band that continues putting out music (as others I love) so they are not "new" per se. Ditto for *Them Crooked Vultures* who put out only one album 6 years ago. Also, yes, didn't mention, but I love *The Racconteurs*, though interestingly *The Dead Weather* never ddid anything for me. Still, good calls on all these recommendations. *Wolfmother* is an interesting one because I was sure they'd only put out the one album. So I'll definitely check out some of their more recent discography.

  Ty Segal got me excited about rock again a few years ago. Jay Reatard is another great one to check out. There's a little known band called Feral Trash from Canada that reminded why I fell in love with punk so many years ago. So much melodic angst.

  [Rival Sons](http://youtu.be/-MA0m1K2jW4) is the band that most captures the Zeppelin aura I think. Every song has an unmistakeable groove.
  
  Edit: I forgot [Heaven's Basement](http://youtu.be/FeaFQm5doVE)! They're more typical of the uber-aggressive but not *quite* metal hard rock sound that's been popular these last few years. I normally don't like bands like this (Five Finger Deathpunch, Volbeat kinda stuff), but Heaven's Basement kicks serious ass. Great workout music.

  He's asking about new music. I would think that excludes supergroups (Them Crooked Vultures and QOTSA) and even bands like The Black keys (who's older, them or Metric or Muse?).

  Crack The Skye is one of the best progressive rock/metal albums of the last 10 years.
  
  u/[deleted] | (2015-07-02 20:12) | [20 pkt]
  
  Absolutely, Crack the skye is in my top 3 favorite albums of all time. It's masterful on so many levels. The technical skill of the musicians, the songwriting, and of course the lyrics.
  
  Crack the skye was written as an homage to brann's sister skye who committed suicide when she was 14. And you can tell they were working through some tough stuff on this album,especially reading the lyrics on Crack the skye and ghost of karelia. It's just... Deep stuff man. Every time I listen to those songs it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up

  Death From Above 1979 is one of the hardest rocking bands around nowadays. A lot of people here have been suggesting Royal Blood and they definitely have a poster of DFA in there room. The band consists of a bassist and a singing drummer. [Virgins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJz0rq1gVLk) is my favorite by them right now. Great music video too by the way.

  Sometimes I feel like I was the only person who enjoyed Local Business... it's not the Monitor but it is still pretty solid. So excited for The Most Lamentable Tragedy though (I pre-ordered it over 2 years ago at this point.)
  
  EDIT: I guess a lot of us liked Local Business! This is one of those situations in which I am extremely pleased to be proven wrong.

  Local Business is probably the weakest of the 4 albums (TMLT leaked a bit ago, and I couldn't resist. I've also had it pre-ordered for about 2 years, the deluxe vinyl edition) but its still a very solid rock record with a lot of jams on it and i definitely love it. It may not be my favorite but I'm glad they made it

  The new one is great. I actually like it a bit more than The Monitor. Monitor and Local Business taper off towards the back halves for me(both redeemed in the closing tracks), but this one stays stronger throughout. With a few short theatric filler songs. From a production standpoint, it dwarfs all previous releases. Sounds incredible. "Dimed Out" is jam of the year material for me, but "Lonely Boy", "Mr E Mann", "Fired Up" and both of the new installments in the "No Future" saga. Whew, It's bleeping great. You're in for a treat, Chef.

  Rock isn't dead my friend, it's just not popular on the radio right now. I'm assuming you've heard of [Queens of the Stone Age](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QetvK6ldl2s)? And if you like the White Stripes you should like Jack White's solo material and his other bands, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.
  
  And based on the bands you mentioned you should check these artists out:
  
  [Cage the Elephant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPgWNuUkuA8)
  
  [The Hold Steady](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgBfoOJR6Rs)
  
  [Cloud Nothings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74TP8QhupLU)
  
  [Gary Clark Jr.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ZeDn-hHGE)
  
  [Royal Blood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ere2Mstl8ww)
  
  [Against Me!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzJ21OpFnZ0)
  
  [Tame Impala](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0jqPvpn3sY)
  
  [The War on Drugs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkLOg252KRE)
  
  [The Vaccines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQKjI6395iU)
  
  EDIT: Thanks to some suggestions below I should also recommend [My Morning Jacket](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdSiIVwyhz4) and [Arctic Monkeys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpOSxM0rNPM)! MMJ is IMO the best *live* band to see on this whole list.
  
  EDIT 2: EVEN MORE bands I should add: Flaming Lips, TV on the Radio, Alabama Shakes, Gaslight Anthem, Drive-By Truckers, Mastodon, Baroness, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Ty Segall, Jeff the Brotherhood, Japandroids, The Black Angels, Manchester Orchestra, Courtney Barnett, and Deer Tick.

  I really like The War on Drugs in particular. With a few listens, I'd imagine almost anyone with an appreciation for rock music could fall head over heels in love with Lost in the Dream.

  The album grew on me as the year went on, now I think it's one of the best rock albums of the 21st century. There's something about their sound...It's not like you haven't heard anything like 'em before, they just hit you right in the feels.
  
  u/ihatepineapples | (2015-07-02 17:42) | [6 pkt]
  
  That album is by far one of my favorite albums from last year. I'm so disappointed that I found it so late...

  Oh yeah, Cloud Nothings!!!!! Garage Rock at its finest. That album they came out with last year was brilliant.

  Also Alabama shakes and houndmouth. The latter is gaining popularity. It's a crime they're not more popular. Their first album kicked ass and their second one is even better in some regards. Same with Alabama shakes, really turning into a bona fire rock band
  
  u/mariegalante | (2015-07-02 21:46) | [3 pkt]
  
  Houndmouth is awesome! I like more folkish stuff so I'm a big fan of the Avett Brothers, Devil Makes Three and Mandolin Orange (though they're pretty quiet)

  How could you not mention Arctic Monkeys and the dark masterpiece that is Humbug. Not only that, it links directly to QOTSA (also recommend) with Josh Homme being behind the album.
  
  u/chalupa_bat-man | (2015-07-02 18:09) | [23 pkt]
  
  man, when humbug first came out i just couldn't get into it and wrote it off then and there. i recently gave it another chance and i can't for the life of me figure out why i didn't like it at first. its an amazing album
  
  u/I_LICK_PUPPIES | (2015-07-02 20:04) | [8 pkt]
  
  I love humbug so much. It's got this creepy vibe to it, like it should be the soundtrack for a turn of the century pier/carnival.

  I 100% hated humbug when I first listened to it. It's not easy to get into, but once you do... it's just unbelievably good. Go at your own pace like I did, listen to other albums, humbug will come naturally to you once you start exploring their music :)

  Lot of great recommendations here. I'd add some more underground punk stuff as well, which is not for everyone, but give it a chance and you might just find a new love:
  
  [Ty Segall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgWJNl9TZJw)
  
  [very garage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2GemaJPTuY)
  
  [Epsilons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bT7wy9DNtI), one of Ty's other bands.

  [Robot Death Kites](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-r-aG19lwI)
  
  There's always new artists surfacing, like
  
  [Willy J. Healey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS3c7zAQx64)
  
  Now outside the realm of punk:
  
  [Little Green Cars](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHwMDr6dMHI)
  
  [TV On The Radio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv3RgbA2UTo)

  [New Order](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkdYRDvX3n4)
  
  [Autolux](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1GfAfcgUw4)
  
  Recently I've been finding myself drifting towards electronic as well. I find it more uplifting and generally positive, while rock and it's derivatives tend to come from a place of anger, sadness, and unrequited love. Nonetheless, rock will always have a special place in my heart. Hope you enjoy!

  For a similarish act, try the Menzingers. They are mighty good as well.

  Here are some groups that I believe are keeping the spark alive.
  
  Alternative / Blues Rock:
  
  * [Royal Blood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ere2Mstl8ww)
  * [Crobot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tBeZUjmp6Y)
  * [Cage The Elephant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVYup3Qwh8Q)
  * [Wolfmother](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3afXXsJwYZo)
  
  Hard Rock
  
  * [Nothing More](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TWr2pj6kqM)
  * [Alter Bridge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz_j7nVCJJ0)
  * [Otherwise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p733z6aKwMA)
  * [Halestorm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGchlqCjj8A)
  * [Volbeat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CspafvAui4)
  * [Starset](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TkokQjF71Q)
  
  Bands with that old rock sound:
  
  * [We Are Harlot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIcd0S_mQ-Q) - 80's hard rock / ballad sound. Similar to Bon Jovi or Bryan Adams vocally IMO.
  * [Airbourne](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWWF8_mgJ6Y) - 80's Hair Metal throwback.
  * [The Sheepdogs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_5q0n2mDR8) - Psychodelic Rock sound.
  
  And now for something completely different:
  
  * [Fair To Midland](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjW-j2PAv-I). My favorite group of all time. Extremely unique progressive rock, with stellar vocals.

  I'd recommend [White Denim](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj38xY5n3no). All their songs are just so damn fun. Got a lot of "noodly" guitar solos and licks. Also, Josh Block, their drummer, [is a fucking madman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKMIDHUwHmM).

  u/bagogoodies111 | (2015-07-02 16:03) | [10 pkt]
  
  Some solid choices here. And if you find that Nothing More is playing in your town or close by, definitely take the time to go see it. Their set is rather unique when it comes to the bass guitar. ;)
  
  Fair To Midland is pretty solid, but it stinks that they haven't been really active since 2012.

  Adding this for OP to see. World On Fire is Slash + Kennedy's most recent, and it's fantastic. Great mix of aggressive and melodic. You can definitely catch a glimpse of G'NR era solos, if you were ever a fan of them. The solo from Battleground sounds similar to the one from November Rain.

  Where is the love for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? I've not seen one mention of them in this thread and that makes me sad. One of, if not the best rock band working today imo.
  u/wellarentyoucute | (2015-07-02 19:04) | [3 pkt]
  
  I was thinking the same thing! Totally agree with you. OP needs to check them out STAT.
  
  u/ReaganxSmash | (2015-07-02 21:27) | [3 pkt]
  
  Yeah it's amazing. They're so good yet so unknown. I saw them once in a bar with like 200 people and they fucking rocked.

  Queens of the Stone Age and Ween reignited rock for me.
  u/Dodahevolution | (2015-07-02 15:54) | [70 pkt]
  
  Op I'd ask you to talk a look at something called stoner rock. Check out these songs:
  Red Fang- Murder the Mountains "wires"
  TruckFighters- GravityX "Desert Cruiser"
  Queens of the Stone Age- queens of the Stone Age "regular John" "mexicola"
  
  IF you like them come hang out at /r/stonerrock , if you don't, I don't blame you.
  
  If you want lighter rock, check out queens newest album ...Like Clockwork and the album Them Crooked Vultures, I am sure you will like them

  Agreed, but if you are going from Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin and the Chili Peppers then Bongzilla and Electric Wizard probably aren't the best transition bands.

  As a fan of rock in general, and as someone who fairly recently adopted stoner rock I agree with this.

  I cannot believe I had to scroll down so far to see The Kills. They just keep getting better- Blood Pressure is an amazing album. And if you enjoy The Kills, I believe you would also enjoy The Dead Weather.
  
  Modest Mouse is still killing it too. Their new album is amazing also.
- u/Dazz316 | (2015-07-02 17:02) | [46 pkt]
  
  I'm with you. The only band I've really got into is the gaslight anthem. They're the only band I've got properly into in years. See 45, great expectations and 59 sound which are my 3 favourite songs from them.
  u/Jebb145 | (2015-07-02 18:55) | [16 pkt]
  
  I have to agree with you. I hope OP sees this. I hadn't listened to a new band or a new record since like 2005. Found Gaslight on a college radio station and for the next 2 years I listened to almost exclusively Gaslight on spotify because... It was... new?
  
  Couple other bands of note: Arkells and Matt Mays Band (saw them with Gaslight)
  
  u/[deleted] | (2015-07-02 20:04) | [3 pkt]
  
  they're from my area in NJ. I saw them live playing in new brunswick (aka Rutgers) many years ago, they absolutely killed it

  u/Geldtron | (2015-07-02 20:55) | [3 pkt]
  
  I don't know. There is a certain tempo, style, and vocal's limits that come with "rock" music. When those limits are broken, you get metal. The kinds of bands that OP described in his post remain under this 'limit', and are to me... 'rock'. To recap:
  
  > My all-time favourite bands are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston...
  I grew up in the 90's, so loved The Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sublime, Soundgarden
  
  Now all these rock bands be they 'classic rock' or rock of the 90's, never had a good name for it beside 'Rock music I grew up on' or "Alt Rock". So I just simply call it "Rock Music" in my computer. Anything after that, namely a number of the bands named in this thread, I put in a folder called "Post-Alt Rock Music" or "Nu Rock" - as long as they don't fall into a specific category like 'Psych Rock' (Tame Impala).
  
  Bands like Mastodon and Amon Amarth (for me) clearly fall into the 'Metal' category and respective sub categories of 'Metal' and 'Metal - Scandinavian'. You can't seriously say that Amon Amarth, Finntroll, Tyr, Wintersun, Arch Enemy, Alestorm, Korpiklaani, Ensiferum, EVEN Nightwish are 'Rock - Scandinavian', no... they are 'Metal - Scandinavian'. I'm sure someone could put an even greater subclassification to these bands than me, but for my organizational purposes many of the bands I've listed all have a similar style. Also for purpose of argument here.... you can't say that any of the bands I just listed are similar to the Foo Fighters or RHCP. Yes there are, for 100%, stylistic elements that metal borrows from rock and rock from metal. So when you break down the music and look at the music structure or some other specific, you will see similarities.
  
  All that said I fully admit organizing "Rock" and "Metal" music on my computer is a difficult task, I'm even in the midst of doing a HUGE overhaul of my entire music collection. It currently sits at ~140GB or a little over 22,000 songs and I'm completely stumped on where some bands should be filed. I don't want to sound like some pretentious musical fuckwad or even argue against what you said as I do agree... but only to a very limited extent. In all honesty you can consider 'Metal' a sub-genre of 'Rock'. And 10 or 15 years ago most metal that I was aware of here here in the USA was what I call 'Power Metal' or '80's Hair Metal', Iron Maiden or Dragonforce. Now days, partialy thanks to the internet... there are so many sub-genres of metal, deathMetal, folkMetal, pirateMetal, japaneseMetal (most seems to fit into powerMetal IMO), scandinavianMetal (thanks to the internet that category no longer only incudes Nightwish)
  
  **TLDR: A Square is a Rhombus but a Rhombus is not always a Square.**
  
  This is the best summary I can give given my only point here is that the bands Amon Armath and Mastodon are probably not the kinds of bands OP is looking for in this thread. However... given the similarities they may offer a great doorway into OP's next post, "Just started listening to Amon Armath, really dig them, suggestions for other 'Metal' bands like them?"
  
  u/TrukThunders | (2015-07-02 18:27) | [5 pkt]
  
  Amon Amarth is melodic death metal, which is technically rock...
  
  Mastodons newer stuff is definitely more prog rock than metal and is a great suggestion.

  If you need affirmation that rock is alive and well, check out the band Titus Andronicus. People have mixed feelings about their third album, but their second album "The Monitor" is a masterpiece. My all-time favorite album.
  
  Also you could try JEFF the Brotherhood, Screaming Females, Mourn, My Morning Jacket, Drive-By Truckers (southern rock) and Mac Demarco.
  u/Mrboneyknees | (2015-07-02 20:06) | [3 pkt]

  Umphrey's helped me with a problem similar to OP's about 10 years ago. Haven't looked back. Their stylistic diversity prevents fatigue. You don't even have to listen other bands; just wait for Umphey's to cover it.

  Ladies and Gentlemen, Umphrey's McGee:
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  [Ocean Billy at Red Rocks Morrison, CO 2012](https://youtu.be/9B1vJpOn1so)
  
  One of their most-watched videos on YouTube for a reason. At about the 6:46 mark, Brendon (the guitarist with no hat on the right) starts laying a riff down under the main song. As the song fades, Brendon continues the riff at full volume with drums. This forms the basis for the beginning of the jam. He changes it to a more quiet riff with a rhythmic repetition and this forms the basis for the rest of the jam for most of the remaining 12 minutes. They allow it to breathe, build to a peak, and let it down softly to finish Ocean Billy.
  
  [Bright Lights, Big City at the Fillmore Denver, CO 2011](https://youtu.be/N91TRQuhm6o)
  
  One of their biggest dance party songs, BLBC is also known for some great jams. This one in particular was so popular that it is sometimes replayed as a standalone song called Den. The song ends and the lead guitarist, Jake on the left, continues to play a riff that sounds vaguely like the original song continuing over drums and bass. The jam slowly morphs into a softer tone and at around 6 minutes in, Joel (keyboards) lays down a nice piano line that forms the basis for the jam and carries it to a peak and quickly ending BLBC to close it out.
  
  [Conduit at Northerly Island Chicago, IL 2013](https://youtu.be/8s0F6-R4SR4)
  
  Conduit is a newer song, so it doesn't have a history of great jams. This is shorter, but great. The song doesn't really end at about 2:30, but instead extends on and then at about 2:50 Brendon on right, starts playing a tapping riff while Jake on the left fades. The rest of the band grabs onto the riff and Jake eventually comes back in and morphs it into a Middle Eastern theme. The jam builds to a peak thanks to some amazing synth work by Joel, utilizing his newer Moog keyboard. It maintains a Middle Eastern sound the whole way before crashing back into Conduit for a finish.
  
  These are just some I could grab in a short time. There are tons more that have no videos like the [entire 11.5.11 Milwaukee show is free](https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Umphrey_s_McGee_UMLive_Milwaukee_WI_11_05_2011?id=Beieabv2ei3xetzdxsfhgxbjrma&hl=en) and one of their best shows of all time. Jams in almost every song.
  
  There are plenty more free videos/audios out there because the band has a lax taping policy that encourages fan bootlegs.
  
  Enjoy!

  No one has mentioned Deftones. I know they're 90s not new, but still rock. Black rebel motorcycle club is great. Along w tiger army, monophonics, arctic monkeys, the Bronx, refused. These are all rock based with other influence
  u/autark | (2015-07-02 18:01) | [8 pkt]
  
  only 2 of the Deftones 8 full length albums were released in the 90s... they're more of an '00s band, still current, releasing new material and touring...
  
  in any case, solid recommendation that should definitely be on the list.

Definite rock but some songs are... Unexpected? Almost jazzy, but Casey Crescenzo's voice is just something special for a current band, and his writing is genius. The Acts are definitely worth a listen, especially Act 2 and Act 3.

  One of the best rock shows I've ever seen. Just saw her a few weeks ago, blew me away. It was heavy as shit. Guitars, drums, all of it. Super heavy and super loud, and super overdriven a lot of times. I'd consider her rock. Some subgenre, sure, but still rock.
  
  u/[deleted] | (2015-07-02 20:01) | [4 pkt]

  Ya same deal at the show I was at. She rode a guard's shoulders playing really crazy guitar before tossing the guitar into the front row and letting them make insane noises on it while she climbed the 15 foot tall speakers. Bad fucking ass.
  
  u/Fragilefish | (2015-07-02 20:14) | [3 pkt]
  
  The first time I saw her live was in this coffee shop in Birmingham Alabama, and there were paper signs put up all over the place urging the crowd to please be quiet and respectful of the artist or something to that effect. Curtain rises, she's standing there with her guitar and just begins to rip some seriously great noises before getting on to the music. It was like a movie about a rock star that just hit it big. Moving!
  
  u/elusivewater | (2015-07-02 18:07) | [5 pkt]
  
  Playing live i think i'd consider her rock. She has an attitude with her guitar solos that really makes me feel like it's rock and roll. At a glance with her studio stuff though I could probably agree.

  Just saw her a few weeks ago. She killed it. And the show was heavy as shit. Big drums, big guitars, big vocals. It was one of the best rock shows I've ever seen. She rode one of the security guards' shoulders while playing crazy noise guitar before finally giving the guitar to the audience to fiddle with while climbing onto a speaker like 15 feet up.
  
  It was awesome. OP should check out her newest album, St. Vincent. It's great from beginning to end. I haven't been able to take it out of my car stereo for a couple weeks now.

  Check out Fat Wreck Chords. Fat Mike of NOFX fame owns the label and their artists consistently put out great punk and post-punk records. I'm a huge fan of The Lawrence Arms, Against Me!, The Mad Caddies, Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, and more. Coheed and Cambria have put out several great records if you like prog metal, and I've only recently gotten into Brand New and Death Cab for Cutie. A word of caution - great music grows on you, meaning you don't necessarily fall in love upon first listen. In listing these nine artists I've given you probably 50+ albums to go off of, aka a ton of freaking music. None of these bands are new, per se, but I hope you a. give them all a shot and b. hear something you like. Great rock is still being recorded, it's just a lot harder to find these days. Big ups for the Foo by the way, can't wait for their show on 8/22.
  
  tl;dr: If nothing else, Bad Astronaut's 3 albums are incredible. Same goes for The Lawrence Arms' first 6 (not a huge fan of Metropole). Enjoy!

  [The Black Keys](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=The+black+keys) have some incredible numbers if you're into a more Modern Blues Rock sorta thing.
  
  [Death From Above 1979](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=death+from+above+1979) are another duo that do bass and drums. THey've got some amazing tracks, especially with their latest album 'The Physical World'.
  
  If you go to the comments on youtube, you're gonna see shit tons of people complaining about how they sounded better before yadda yadda yadda... Don't give a fuck. Just listen to the songs and form your own opinions.
  
  Also, I just noticed that all the bands I just mentioned were duos. Not that its bad in any way at all though.
  
  Have fun with these artists, musicbro/sis. They each have their own take on rock, but trust this random stranger on the internet on the fact that they are abso-fucking-lutely awesome.

  My childhood band Rush is now my old man band Rush, and they sound absolutely wonderful, even to my friends who hated their sound thirty years ago. Check out the album *Clockwork Angels*, which streams free with Amazon Prime. Or see it performed live here: https://youtu.be/JVkb7ulSnjA?t=1h13m15s
  
  Silversun Pickups have a beautiful sound if you don't mind the over-compressed modern treatment of the guitars. The album that got me hooked was "Carnavas" (which also streams free with Amazon Prime.)
  
  Electric blues, the sound that was on life-support for 20 years, made a modern resurgence. The Black Keys are the most popular example. They really live up to the hype. But there are lesser known ones in the same wave, like "Black Rebel Motorcycle Club".

  Recently I loved Wolf Alice. Give them a listen they have a lot of 'harder' tracks.
  
  Also [Delta Spirit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k_O1OPgUQM) is one awesome rock band. Never knew why they don't seem to get a lot of love. Though they aren't much [guitar driven](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEiZlvsIRiQ) as much as drums and keyboard.
  
  The Raconteurs really laid down some fantastic tracks with amazing range but sadly went on indefinite hiatus a few years back.
  
  Gary Clark Jr is pretty legit thought I get kinda lost in the blues rips after a while.
  
  Of course the Black Keys were like the embodiment of that classic rock sound.

  Rival Sons - pure blues based rock. Does it sound like Zeppelin? Sure, but it also sounds like Bad Company, Cream, Faces, etc. It's more of an 'influenced by' than imitation.

  Wow. A lot of great recommendations but you need to check out Reignwolf. One of the greatest rock bands to this day. The lead guitarist has a bass drum he kicks while playing guitar. Sometimes he even gets on the whole drum set with the guitar and plays both instruments at the same time.

  Anything Jack White. Revisit early White Stripes. Check out The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and his solo stuff. I'm into a lot of emo rock too. Title Fight, The Sidekicks, Hearts Like Lions, and The Almost are all incredible bands. Black Keys are also pretty good, Cage the Elephant, also pretty much everything out on Jack White's label Third Man Records is incredible, he goes beyond rock but there is a lot of blues rock etc. on there.

  I can't quite put my finger on it -- every time a music thread makes it to the top two or three pages on le reddit, something smells like people that can afford to intern for free and work part time at REI.
  
  /u/dickydildos, I like the cut of your jib. The rest of you assholes that can afford to move out of your hometown and pay off your student loans, kill yourself.
  
  For the rest of you, this is [Kvelertak](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yOVFxVFqcg), and this is [Chrome](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14lk_yDeVZI). Also, [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maoAFT61n6M).
  
  I can't say enough [good](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ZV-KZy7SY) about Charlie [Parra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ZV-KZy7SY). Someday, he will be in band that doesn't suck.

  I actually feel similar. I have a very hard time finding anything new in Rock that actually does anything for me and haven't for the last decade or so. There is a band I've come across recently called The Stone Foxes that have pulled me in. It's pretty straight up dirty Rock done really well. If you're into heavier sounds and themes I would suggest Clutch- sludge rock, Mastodon- progressive metal and Ghost - a band from Sweden, hard to categorize.

Be warned, though; they suck balls live. Absolutely horrible, so I dont recommend listening to their newer albums. Listen to their first 5 albums. So good.

  This might get buried OP but I'll still give it a shot. Everyone's going for the obvious like Royal Blood, QOTSA, and The Black Keys. Here's some lesser known bands that I really like that don't seem to get mentioned on reddit or bands that seemed to have slipped off the radar over the years.
  
  * The Darkness - [Mudslide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l05biPoYD8U)
  * We Are the Ocean - [Do It Together](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11bdcSMZMrA)
  * Antemasque - [People Forget](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILCcAAGVAA8)
  * Kasabian - [bumblebee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjUA_e0ZG_U)
  * Franz Ferdinand - [Treason! Animals](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-5-U2Ssql4)
  * Slash - [Wicked Stone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRaDQBMMbrM)

  * Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - [Rival](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k46EbKSkLUI)
  * Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - [The Dying of the Light](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2EKF35mevg)

  * Bass Drum of Death - [Black Don't Glow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHVusjvESHg)
  
  Everyone else seems to have covered the other great bands like Alter Bridge, Volbeat, and Death From Above 1979.
  If you're into metal or alternative, I also recommend these. Alternative bands are the first half:
  
  * Minus the Bear - [Cold Company](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuAbrPa8urk)
  * Two Door Cinema Club - [Someday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8Yp5g4xn8)
  * City & Colour - [Ladies and Gentlemen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToPrvEW__Zk)
  * Young the Giant - [It's About Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO6LJUyNA0M)
  * Foster the People - [Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSOv2PtPyHg)
  * The Naked and Famous - [Hearts Like Ours](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqUJdcCjUIA)
  * Baroness - [March to the Sea](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxNYP-OaPhE)
  * Mastodon - [The Motherload](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWFWazj7Ud8)
  * He Is Legend - [Be Easy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWiMTjQFHpQ)
  * Protest the Hero - [Volition album](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5_RJHsaqpA) Yellow Teeth, Drumhead Trial, and Skies are my favorites
  * Turbowolf - [A Rose For the Crows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGuqqaPtKGA)
  * Machine Head - [Ghosts Will Haunt My Bones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNf11ilYR08)

  Hey, just want to say thanks! I spent an hour going through this thread and I was starting to feel like at 27 I was officially old and out of touch. I found almost nothing that was my style until your post.
  
  He is Legend is super interesting. We are ocean and band of skulls are good as well. Going to continue checking your list out. Thanks again.

  He Is Legend is the fucking bomb. Funny you picked them and We Are the Ocean. Those are by far my 2 favorite underrated bands. We Are the Ocean's new album Ark, which is my favorite, isn't on iTunes or Spotify in the US FYI..... All of He Is Legend should be on Spotify. You really can't go wrong with any of their albums except maybe their first, I Am Hollywood. That one's a bit spotty in my opinion. Be Easy is far and away the best song on that album so don't expect anything quite that caliber on Heavy Fruit. It's still a great album but that song in particular blows all the others out of the water.

  I'm a big [Halestorm](https://www.youtube.com/user/HalestormRocks/videos) fan, so I'm going to recommend two of my favorite songs from their latest album. [Apocalyptic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PXkCAiV0Ww) and [Mayhem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QralTt4Uado). Their older stuff is excellent as well.
  
  If you like a bit of metal screaming, [In This Moment](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=in+this+moment) is pretty good.
  
  [Starset](https://www.youtube.com/user/starsetVEVO) is a pretty good, new band. I saw them live and they gained an instant fan.
  
  [The Pretty Reckless](https://www.youtube.com/user/PrettyRecklessVEVO) is pretty good, especially [Going to Hell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmtbg5b7_Aw) and [Heaven Knows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBxJCq99jA).

  Not to sound like a hipster about it, but I think the best rock just isn't on the radio. You'll need to branch out. Have you checked out Kyuss or The Sword? My favorite "rock" bands right now are local to my area (the PNW) and are churning out fantastic albums on independent labels. Do you have any good bars around you that feature heavy bands you could start following? Here are some of my local favorites. Hopefully you give them a listen and fall down the youtube rabbit hole, should link you to all sorts of great stuff

  I'd like to ask a question for everyone in this thread with recommendations. What are your methods for finding/learning about new rock music in these categories? For me it's mostly just reddit (various music subreddits), but with rock music in particular I always feel like I'm behind the curve. What are your go to websites/blogs/whatever besides reddit that you frequent to learn about new rock bands/albums/music?

  I go on spotify and click on similar artists and keep clicking similar artists to those artists. I listen to their most popular songs and write down what kind of music I think they are and how I felt about it.
  
  I go on gnoosic.com and do a whole bunch of different variations of artists and write down whatever I haven't listened to before.
  
  I go to the record store and pick out albums with interesting covers or interesting song titles and buy them and listen to them.
  
  If I like them enough ill google about them for hours and learn all about the artists, any side projects they've had, or other bands they've been a part of, or artists that have influenced them.

CDs aren’t as popular as they use to be unfortunately due to streaming, YouTube, etc. I’m curious as to what everyone’s first CD was, and if you still use it or have it today. Was it worth it? Did you regret buying it?
How often do you use it today?

Mine was Stadium Arcadium by Red Hot Chilli Pepp... CDs aren’t as popular as they use to be unfortunately due to streaming, YouTube, etc. I’m curious as to what everyone’s first CD was, and if you still use it or have it today. Was it worth it? Did you regret buying it?

  Damn, it's really almost 30 years now. Really love the production: So clean you can easily hear all the little details and dynamics, while still feeling an obliterating wall of sound. Adam's guitar sounds like you poked your head right into the amp. The tone of "h" or "Jimmy" - so fat, grimy and raw! Danny's drums are huge, with a thundering room reverb on snare and toms.

  u/PhavNosnibor | (2024-11-07 19:45) | [4 pkt]
  
  That was a hell of an album. Mondo 2000-types dumped on it like crazy at the time, but I remember Penn Jillette writing a column in PC/Computing basically saying "What, the guy likes the Internet. That's pretty boss!" in its defence. (And give the man credit, who else was putting their e-mail address in the liner notes of an album in 1993? And was on WELL?)
  
  Just for giggles, I watched the "[Shock to the System](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx2fZU5USus)" video a minute ago. It's been nicely cleaned up for modern YouTube and is just as hokey as I remembered, but I didn't realize until doing a bit of reading that Stan Winston was responsible for the budget Tetsuo effects.

  Led Zeppelin’s Greatest Hits and Jimi Hendrix Experience. I was a kid in the 90s, the first record I ever put on was pulled from my dad’s vinyl collection and lead in with Purple Haze. I think I was like 3, the moment I first heard Hendrix was like dawn breaking or a lightbulb going off. You’re goddamn right it was worth it. Led Zeppelin rules, and there has never been a cooler human being than Jimi Hendrix ever to have lived.

  I knew I'd find this if I dug deep enough. I don't identify with that album that much anymore, and there's many other albums from that era that I prefer now, but that just happened to be the first one. Still a solid album though. I tried to convince my family that the nipples on the CD were fingerprints, and not nipples. Cuz nipples seemed too dangerous lol

  Christmas 1970. Older brother stumbled in the door of my room on Christmas morning and handed me a wrapped, store-bought, cassette tape. ”Merry Christmas little brother” (I think he was high on acid at the time!) The album “Live Cream” Was my introduction to Little Stevie Winwood. I was 11 and it shaped my listening choices for many decades afterwards.

  Dad took me to a record shop for the first time when I was 9-10 years old and gave me $10 to pick out anything I wanted. I hadn’t really formed any musical opinions left, but I had just seen Space Jam in the theater a few months earlier. So, naturally, the Space Jam soundtrack would be the first CD I would ever choose and purchase “on my own”. Weird, I know. I just wanted to fly like an eagle I guess.

  Silverchair— Neon Ballroom. My friend had one of those order forms and I saved my lunch money to throw in on a bulk order. Mom asked to listen to make sure it wasn’t inappropriate, so I skipped forward a bit to “Miss You Love”. She fucking fell for it oh my god she would have taken it away if she had heard the lyrics to “Anthem for the Year 2000”.

  The Lion King soundtrack! That was my only CD for the longest time. I was kind of a late bloomer when it came to getting into music. We didn't have MTV until I was like 12 or 13 so my influx of music was really just the radio and whatever my parents had around the house.
  
  The home CD collection was pretty alright with No Doubt's Savage Kingdom, The Cream of Claption, 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged, Spin Doctor's, Hooty and the Blowfish, Blue Traveller, The Wallflowers, The Eagles Greatest Hits, Queen's Greatest Hits, Billy Joel's River of Dreams...sorry I was just trying to see how many I could remember.
  
  My first CASSETTE though was the U Can't Touch This Single from MC Hammer. I played that thing out until it got destroyed!

  Bought with my own money? Ride the Lightning by Metallica in 1992 at 8 years old. I had heard/seen the music video for Enter Sandman, but the music store in the mall didn't have the Black Album in stock, so I just picked Ride the Lightning because it had a cool looking cover. Spent all of my allowance from the previous two weeks on it. Completely reshaped my life.
  
  I do not have that CD anymore, or any CDs currently. My car doesn't even have a CD player in it and I switched to vinyl awhile ago from a physical media standpoint. One of the first vinyls I bought was Ride the Lightning though and it was specifically because it was the first CD I bought with my own money.

  I had a ton of cassettes before CDs started coming down in price enough I felt like I could afford to start buying them. I think the first ones I got were U2's Rattle and Hum and Billy Joel's Storm Front. I still have the physical CDs somewhere in the garage but I pretty much listen to streaming music or stuff in my iTunes collection, except for a handful of CDs in my car.

  I had a bunch of cassettes before that, but in 4th grade I had saved up enough birthday/Christmas money to get a cd player. I didn't have a proper stereo, so my stepdad got some cables from Radio Shack to hook it to a little karaoke tape deck/speaker that I had.

  What genre are the Pixies grandfathers of?
  
  u/[deleted] | (2016-12-02 22:23) | [3 pkt]
  
  They're considered the grandfathers of alternative music. Kurt Cobain has gone out on record saying that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was them trying to do a Pixies song. SLTS then went on to change alternative music drastically, but it really all came from the movement that started in the 80s with the Pixies. If you go back and listen to Doolittle, you can really hear the influences that Nirvana drew from it.
  
  u/tiredhippo | (2016-12-02 22:53) | [1 pkt]
  
  I don't buy it. First of all "alternative" is a relative term. It's also media being lazy in their attempt to pigeonhole bands and their sound, which is usually an amalgamation of influences. Pixies had a sound that Nirvana tried to emulate on some songs but there were many other influences. They also tried to emulate The Beatles, The Vaselines, Black Flag, etc. Never mind the fact that "alternative music", if you're referring to popular and even more specifically rock music, can be applied to a lot of bands with a lot of starting as early as The Mothers, The Velvet Underground, Flamin' Groovies, The Deviants, and The Fugs.
  
  Dolittle came out in 1989. There was so much more than came before that with even more of an influence on Nirvana. Husker Du comes to mind as do The Wipers.
  
  u/MrTwiggums | (2016-12-03 01:35) | [3 pkt]
  
  Doolittle wasn't their first album yo.
  
  u/[deleted] | (2016-12-03 03:48) | [1 pkt]
  
  Like someone else said, Doolittle wasn't their first album. I was just citing it as something that clearly influenced Nirvana. There was Come On Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa in the two years before that. Pixies started in Amherst, MA and there was one point early in the 90s where Nirvana played Hampshire College just because he was so intrigued by the area the Pixies came out of and wanted to visit it. You can listen to a radio interview he did with Amherst radio right before the band blew up and got huge.
  
  Also, Pixies are pretty famous for their usage of dynamics and going from loud to quiet back to loud. Nirvana capitalized on it and made it even more mainstream, but a lot of the bands you listed weren't as associated with it as the Pixies were. They literally have a documentary called Loud Quiet Loud because they were that known for it.
  
  Pixies were the start of alt-rock becoming radio friendly. I don't know why you're trying to fight me on this. There are so many articles written about it. Bowie has even gone on record saying that there's no band quite like the Pixies and they started the whole movement. Just Google "Bowie on the Pixies" and it should be the first result.

  I was pretty underwhelmed by Revolution Radio, but still, I would probably say its their best album since American Idiot. They seem to be heading in a direction I can get behind, the trilogy and 21CB didn't do much for me.

  Metallica's new album wasn't great either. It's the best thing they've done since the 1980s but once you get past the excitement of that it's no more than a decent album.
  
  Not sure why a bunch of barely relevant bands releasing mediocre albums that don't come close to the stuff that made them famous makes this such a great year for rock music.

  I'd go as far as to say it's their fourth best post-80's album.
  
  In terms of comebacks by ageing acts A Moon Shaped Pool, Blackstar, Thank You 4 your Service and to a lesser extent The White Album were all legit, though.

  Nobody wants to discover new music. They just want to keep listening to the same bands they were listening to 20 years ago. Doesn't matter if the new material is any good though **cuz 'tallica**.
  
  If people who liked the new Metallica even bothered to listen to any other thrash that's been coming out recently, they'd probably realize how mediocre that album is. [Vektor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4e5Jw9T5Zk) released a new album this year and it is light years ahead of what Metallica's doing, in terms of thrash metal.

  That doesn't sound like Metallica though, so why would people who want old thrash sounds like that? It might be thrash but it's not the thrash a hardcore Metallica sound will generally enjoy. Also no need to shit on people who enjoy the same music for years, pretty unnecessary.

  I don't even really want a new "thrash" album from Metallica. The dudes are in their 50s. All I want from them is music that sounds honest, and like they had fun making it. The new album does just that. If I want thrashy new stuff, I'll put on Zig Zags.

  Hard wired was trash. Instead of making six good songs from the 12 riffs they wrote they made twelve shitty songs. There is absolutely no way to justify the length of any of the tracks. They're all 3 minutes of a song, a slow part, the the same 3 minute song tacked on the end. The mix is garbage, the bass drum sound is god awful and way too far forward. The musicianship is uninspired and lacking at best.
  
  The title track is the only one that I can consider a pretty good song.
  
  I'm not a Metallica fan, so I'm not the real target for this album, but I wanted to give it an honest shot. After listening to the first disc I was dismayed that there was another to sit through.
  
  If municipal waste can give me better riffs, more inspired song structure, and higher energy in a quarter of the time- there's no point in listening to lite beer thrash from a group of aging musicians.
  
  Don't buy that album. Buy anything else.
What happened to the rock music genre? I know there're many new decent bands out there, but the absolutely amazing songwriting of 90s rock bands (Metallica, Manson, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and so many others) are long gone and everything today feels generic or soulless. Why?

I try hard to find new rock that I love, and I always end up disappointed.

I can't expect bands from the 90s and early 2000s to carry the torch today, a few have done great things still and that includes NIN, Manson, Paramore, Foo Fighters, Breaking Benjamin and a many othres that I'm obviously forgetting, but in the 90s and early 2000s there were so many amazing raw rock bands that had great music!

Today, finding a great band that has a flair for deep amazing song writing is rate! and rock for the last 10 years has pretty much been dead.

No one predicted that, everyone just imagined rock would evolve, nu-metal, rap-metal and something new eventually, but the edginess and song writing skills still be there. Instead, modern music is just absolutely dominated by pop and hip-hop.

I think the pop music today is actually superior to 90s and early 2000s, but even hip hop, R&B and Rap today pretty much sucks compared to 20s ago.

I know the rap community has many underground favorites and while there might be lots in rock too. I try hard to find them and honestly, they're a cut BELOW those great 90s bands.

Why has this happened? Has anyone done a thorough research-based investigation into how music trends shifted and stopped the growth or innovation on the rock domain?

  No it hasn't it's just that you've got the usual rose tinted glasses on and music of a certain time is what you consider "Best", probably you were in your teens / 20's during this time I'd guess.

  20+ years ago, the recording industry was vastly different than it is now… major labels controlled what was released and promoted to the public en masse, FM radio was still a big thing , and MTV was huge (in the 80s & 90s anyway)… if a band had potential for success, or garnered enough on their own to warrant a larger label deal, they would receive the funding for a well-produced album, tour support, radio and video promotion, basically everything they needed. That’s why you know them. It took major money to get a song on the radio or MTV, but if it didn’t get requests from listeners/viewers, it didn’t last long... It was both a pay-for-play AND popularity-based system.
  
  While this model was incredibly frustrating for young groups without connections or financial backing to break thru, it did filter out a lot of the garbage from the mainstream, and for that reason, we tend to remember the best of it in hindsight. Not to say this model wasn’t flawed in many ways, incredibly unfair, and the industry “gatekeepers” much maligned for seeking profit over cultivating talent at times, but I believe now we miss out on a lot of the truly great stuff since there’s no filter, no system for the real cream to rise to the top, and none of the financial support and backing it may have had 20 years ago.
  
  The playing field has been leveled to where teenagers in a garage have access to the same market as an established, successful act, which is great in many ways, but the good stuff isn’t being pushed to the forefront any longer, because the industry mechanism that did this has no way to profit from it anymore. It’s basically the pros and cons of streaming music, in a nutshell… more music being available means lots more mediocre stuff to wade thru that never would’ve hit the shelves at Tower records in the past, for better or worse.
  
  TL/DR: You remember the old stuff because it was cultivated, produced, packaged, and presented in an appealing way, and there’s no viable interest in doing that anymore.
  
  Edit: I’m speaking of major label artists, as that’s what the OP referenced. There was and still is lots of great independent music, and major labels are not the be all/end all of things, but it applies directly here.

  u/pixelssauce | (2022-01-12 01:44) | [1 pkt]
  
  You don't deserve the downvotes you're getting. I think, overall, we have moved past the time when radio-ready rock music can be really interesting. There are some cool indie bands out there but even those have gotten boring to me. Just look at Spotify's rock playlists, what is actually good or interesting there? It's a bunch of really old bands releasing late career singles (Papa Roach, Bring Me the Horizon) or crossover with other genres (Turnstile had a great hardcore-infused rock album recently)
  
  When I want to scratch the itch the rock used to I'll listen to some metal or turn to hyperpop like 100 gecs, dltzk or underscores. People keep telling OP "you're getting old, music is changing and you have to keep up" but I don't think rock music has changed since the early 00s and that's precisely why it's hard to find good new music. It's all become encrusted in this idea of what rock "should" be

  Just some random thoughts from a middle-aged music lover:
  
  1. Use terms like "these days", "this generation", or "today's music" with caution. Regardless of genre, the music that is universally heralded as classic is almost always from artists that were doing (or at least attempting to do) something unique. Some could argue that the disapproval of older generations can actually be used as a measure of success. I'm incredibly fortunate to have a teenager who's as passionate about music as I am, and it's beyond cool to be able to reciprocate recommendations. Being open to giving Billie Eilish a fair listen from her perspective is rewarded by her sampling The Clash and listening to my nostalgic experiences.
  2. Sit tight... Creative trends are cyclical, and if you look at popular music over the last century you'll notice that pretty much every groundbreaking new sound or style was preceded by a "lull" period. I imagine it just takes a short spell of frustration to cultivate the next generation of artists looking to use their talents to piss off their parents. Dissatisfaction with "today's music" was as much a catalyst for Chuck Berry as it was for Hendrix, as it was for Sabbath, as it was for Bowie, Devo, Slayer, Nirvana, etc etc etc.
  3. Don't discount the amazing resources we have today with the accessibility of music. While I don't argue that broadcast media has been in a freefall decline for the past few decades, there are so many streaming / online outlets for music discovery. It does suck that it's become a self-serve model, but it doesn't take much digging to find online communities that can offer TONS of recommendations for any kind of sound. Your buddy can literally catch a great find from some high school kids jamming in some garage or arcade on the other side of the country (or globe) and likely be able to share it via soundcloud / YouTube.
  
  I hope this doesn't come off as condescending; I'm really just sharing my $0.02 as someone that feels as connected to music at 47 as I did when I was saving change to hit the super saver vinyls at my local A&P.

  Rock is still alive, but it's mostly punk rock or alternative rock, the good ol' AC/DC style feels out or touch. Metal is doing fine tho, and while you might not like metal as a whole I think you could get into progressive metal, seing as you already like tool, there are so many great bands out there, just give it a go.
  
  If you don't like it why not try jazz while you're at it.

  Also, non-white music (and rock is pretty much a white genre) was underrepresented on the charts until Soundscan in 1991. Once labels realized just how much hip hop records could sell, they focused a lot of resources on signing and releasing hip hop records. It took a bit for that to drive the whole market, but the decline of white rock music is at least somewhat driven by ending the unfair advantage it had enjoyed chart-wise since the charts began.
  
  Couple that with the internet, where anyone with ProTools can release a song and hope it goes viral (for the music or any other reason) and you end up with a lot to sort through. Much of it lacks the organic band creative process. Labels (due to the issue above) aren't willing to invest in the time required for bands to develop, because it is bad business for them when they only need a producer and a face to put on the record.

  I understand and agree with your point, but I've always found it amusing to hear rock described as "white music". Every variant of rock & roll, from the Beatles to Black Flag, has a clear lineage to the soul & delta blues exposure of the 20s - 40s.
  Again, I'm not disagreeing with your comment, just suggesting how silly that designation is, and how that conception still exists 70+ years after our guitars got plugged in...

  I'm not sure non-white music was underrepresented. Disco was huge before 1991. Prince, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner were some of the biggest stars ever.

  I'm not suggesting that there were no non-white successful artists before 1991, but that black music, particularly hip-hop, was underrepresented. Your examples were black artists playing relatively mainstream, white pop. Disco was co-opted by white acts like the Bee Gees. Motown was successful before that even, but it was geared toward white audiences (mostly, though there were some exceptions toward the end of the 60s and early 70s). Prince, while he was an amazing genre-blurring artist, worked with Morris Day and the Time as an outlet for his more traditional funk and soul leanings, because he had moved his music so far into the rock realm. MJ and TT were crossover hits, playing pop more than R&B/soul. The point is not that some black artists weren't successful, but that for the most part black music, primarily hip-hop, was not reflected in the charts due to the way sales and airplay were counted.

  Getting old, you have too much life experience with music to find something new and innovative. You will always compare the new with the old. Good example would be Greta Van Fleet. I personally like listening to them, they are a tight band but they have a familiar sound that I’m used to, which makes them not really new in my eyes. Everyone will turn into Grampa Simpson.

  The truth in this post that everyone here seems to be missing is that rock no longer dominates as popular music. Rock used to be the main genre for youth, but now it is hip hop.
  
  I believed it has a lot to do with tech influencing art. Every kid has a laptop and some basic recording software. Not everyone has a guitar or drums in the house. In fact, guitar sales have declined, and let’s face it, playing the guitar isn’t as cool as it was 20 years ago. Everybody and their dog plays it. It’s becoming like the piano, where parents make their kids learn it when they don’t really want to.
  
  Rock music is going the way of classical or jazz, and is being relegated to a niche that only people with non mainstream or eclectic taste will listen to.
  u/[deleted] | (2021-12-22 17:42) | [1 pkt]
  
  but i don't see any jazz bands that have millions of listeners on YouTube and Spotify and such. so much exaggeration here.
  
  also by searching in Google you will find that guitar sales worldwide were skyrocketing since 2020, it's even comparable to post-Beatles era according to articles.
  
  there is still so much rock and metal music out there and there are many fans too, but some people will just get old and stick to their familiar sound. nothing wrong with that though, everyone gets to like what they like.
  
  u/killbosby69 | (2021-12-22 18:15) | [0 pkt]
  
  Guitar sales may be up, likely due to people being stuck at home during the pandemic, but I don’t think very many people are starting new bands as before.
  
  I think people are bored and just want to learn how to play “Hey Jude”, and then they’ll go back to listening to Drake or whatever.
  
  u/[deleted] | (2021-12-22 19:17) | [1 pkt]
  
  they can start new bands and still listen to Drake too, nothing wrong with that.
  
  and they don't need to start new bands too, there are so many new bands around in the internet now, there is no shortage of that at all in fact it's the opposite. people may just learn guitar to have fun and appreciate music. according to the articles guitar sales increase is still going strong in 2021, expected to grow for next few years too, and young women are fuelling the growth the most.
  
  also there are still many fans of rock but that's not the point of the OP, he just doesn't like modern rock, again nothing wrong with that at all, but that doesn't mean rock doesn't exist anymore. band like maneskin have like more than billion streams on Spotify this year, this is a new band i am not counting legacy old bands, band like ACDC for example have 22+ million followers on Spotify who is mostly dominated by younger people. there is so much pop punk in tiktok too even some bands from 2000s and 90s went platinum recently because of it, and you have MGK album who went number one on billboards, and many other examples. and i am still not counting metal as rock here.
  
  i am not saying rock music is bigger than hip hop or pop music currently, it's absolutely not, but that doesn't mean it's dead, it's not. rock is a popular music genre even among young people but not the most popular and that's ok.

  One of the biggest problems with Rock is that it’s a very sexist genre. A lot of the better new Rock acts are fronted by Female singers. But, everyone who claims to be a fan of Rock writes them off and tries to find the next big male lead band.
  
  Also, a lot of the best Rock acts are smaller bands that haven’t hit it big yet, and may never hit it “big”.

From the looks of it (and the random addition of Foo Fighters, even Dave Grohl wouldn’t rate his band that highly) you want something metally with some comedy, but I’m not sure.

  Artists are no longer developed by record labels. The whole industry has changed. It used to be, record a good album and tour to support it. Labels would throw money at artists to be creative. Look at the legends about bands from the 70s recording, getting put up in hotels in LA and writing and recording albums. That doesn't happen anymore.

  Cuz it has. The rebirth of garage rock has led us to a generation of kids making music on computers but still trying to act like they are still part of the classic depiction of a rock artist.
  
  Jack White is the king of said generation. His lyrics are balls and can barely sing and he was on this big campaign about analog recording and using tape like the old days just to finally have to use digital production like the normal douche born into this normie ass generation of ungrateful tech brats that think they have “taste” cuz they can google or YouTube some shit from the 60’s that their parents didn’t know about (cuz internet wasn’t around back then) then they go buy it on vinyl and claim they’re “OG”.

  Production has a lot to do with it. Everything is too over-the-top and loud now, but in the ‘90s the balance was perfect between “raw” and “polished”. Click tracks are also the norm now too, so songs can just sound too static and repetitive with little to no variation.

  New country absorbed classic rock, and is heavily influenced by Def Leppard, Bruce Springsteen, and ZZ Top. The songwriting and lyrics got a lot better, and while there are still some hokey songs, and the accent sometimes feels unnecessary, they're making some great music. And it's not all rednecks at the concerts these days--you get a pretty good mix of people, generally all friendly, singing along, and having a good time.
  
  You can check out Luke Combs, Eric Church, Carly Pierce, and Kelsey Ballerini on Youtube as a start. Zac Brown Band is also great. Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish fame has a decent country career going, and even Sheryl Crow and Colby Caillat have followed the trend and released new albums under country marketing. I feel like the soul of rock n roll just moved to Nashville and picked up a banjo and a twang.
  
  Hard Rock still exists of course as a separate genre, but as far as I can tell the more moderate rock literally just merged into modern country, pulling the extended guitar riffs along with it.

  This one RHCP album with Dave Navarro (from Jane’s Addiction) was an interesting album! 👍 Lots of good tracks on it, such as this one, “Aeroplane”, “Warped”, among others. John Frusciante is the best RHCP guitarist, but Dave did good work on this album - and Chad and Flea are on fire for the entire album! 🥇

This is such an outlier for me. I can't even say I'm *that* big of a fan of R.E.M., yet this album easily sits above anything else I've ever listened to from beginning to end. As a music fan, my tastes are varied. From the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to The Thievery Corporation, from Rare Bird to Alex So... This is such an outlier for me. I can't even say I'm *that* big of a fan of R.E.M., yet this album easily sits above anything else I've ever listened to from beginning to end. As a music fan, my tastes are varied. From the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to The Thievery Corporation, from Rare Bird to Alex Somers and Goldfrapp - I've consumed a lot of music in my lifetime. I have my "big 4", who sit at the top and are unlikely to ever be displaced; The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Madonna and George Michael. Yet no album by any of these artists will likely move Automatic For The People from my #1 spot. And yes, even as a Brit, I'm including The Beatles in that.

So why is Automatic For The People my favourite album of all time? Well the answer comes with that final word right there. **Time**. I remember listening to bits of this album as a young boy in early 1993. I honestly dismissed it as nonsensical grown up drivel, as most of us probably did desperately trying to look cool bouncing around a school disco listening to Mr. Blobby. I digress.

Fast forward 30 years - I've suffered loss, pain, personal issues and even a homosexual divorce. The sheer drama of it all. I've had good moments too, but this is where this album comes into its own. From the opening twangs of *Drive*, to the unmistakable riffs of *Try Not To Breathe* to the boundless energy of *The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite.* All remarkably great songs.

Then we get to *Everybody Hurts*. To most people, a Kurt Cobain inspired, misery inducing dirge about loss, sadness and trying to avoid the inevitable. To me, an uplifting athem of hope. Because, for as melancholic as the first 4 minutes might be, those final 90 seconds or so are probably the most inspiring 90 seconds I've ever heard in music. The relentless winding up of the organ, the strings section going batshit and Stipe's cries of "hold on"... a truly, truly remarkable piece of musicianship by all involved.

I could happily spend all night going through every single song on this album in this much detail, but I think by this point you probably get the picture. Every song (imo) is a 10/10 and will probably stay with me until I can't talk about it anymore. Thanks for reading! 🤙🏻

  It's a masterpiece for sure. Sweetness Follows is one of my top 5 r.e.m. songs.
  
  I'm not sure how Cobain inspired Everybody Hurts is, though. That would have been written before the string of losses (Cobain, River Phoenix) that inspired a lot of Monster. Let Me In, from Monster, is the more Cobain inspired track. When they went out on the Monster tour, Mike Mills actually played Kurt's powder blue Mustang for that song (strung upside down for a righty, since it was customized for Kurt).

  That video for Everybody Hurts is also amazing. It's actually what introduced me to Wings of Desire. Michael Stipe gave Wenders a nod in an interview somewhere around that time, and mentioned how that film was the video's inspiration.
  
  And you know, I didn't even realize in person, at the time, that they were using Cobain's Mustang for that song. They didn't say anything about it or make a point of it. It was well after the Monster tour was over that I read about it. I think Courtney Love had given it to them since he was such a big fan of theirs. Fun fact (I think): Kurt's favorite R.E.M. song was World Leader Pretend.

  Oh, that verifies a 30-year-old memory I wasn’t sure was accurate: I saw them on the Monster tour and Let Me In was the first encore song. Started with just Stipe and Mills onstage, and my recollection is Mills was playing a left-handed guitar (though I can’t remember if he played left-handed or if he strung it for right-handed and the upside-down head caught my attention). That was probably Kurt’s guitar.

And Nirvana had written all these songs, Kurt [Cobain] had written all these songs with the word 'yeah' in them. And I wanted to write a song with more 'yeahs.' And so I did. I wrote it. I counted them, and we had a good laugh about it afterwards.”

  As a long-time REM fan, Nightswimming is my favorite song. So bittersweet. Out of Time is my favorite album, followed by Document, but that song is a masterpiece. Without parallel, just listening to it conjures up so many memories of my own youth.
  
  When we were dating, long ago, my wife had randomly been given the AFTP CD as a gift. She was said she did not really like it, but really liked Nightswimming. I knew I had found my girl...

  One positive thing to getting older is that some albums get better with time. This was always my favorite R.E.M. album and it's all hits, no skips, nothing feels out of place or too long. The songs are in perfect order.
  
  If I want to be a curmudgeon: I wouldn't mind a seven-minute version of New Orleans Instrumental No. 1...
  u/PresidentSuperDog | (2025-09-27 03:06) | [1 pkt]
  
  Have you heard New Orleans Instrumental No 2? I had it on the Automatic Box back in the 90s. I also loved Winged Mammal Theme. I’m super bummed to realize that these tracks aren’t on Spotify.

  It's not, unfortunately. The only thing left of it is the steeple, which they renovated. It's referred to as the "REM Steeple."

  When I was 8, I drove across the country with my dad as part of our family’s move. We had three CDs with us that I played on repeat:
  
  Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - whatever greatest hits album they had around 1996
  
  Counting Crows - August and Everything After
  
  and R.E.M. - automatic for the people
  
  I played them on repeat for 3 days, about 36 hours and learned every word. I still love all three albums. This one is obviously the best musically.

  Pure perfection and a depth of feeling that I havent found in too many other pieces of art.

  I'm curious: younger people, are you aware of REM? (Probably the wrong place to ask given it's a post *about* REM and the people who are familiar with them are likely the ones clicking on it)
  
  Their music is so good yet it doesn't seem to have remained in the spotlight as much as some other late 80s/early 90s bands. They weren't disruptive in the way that Nirvana was, but they were every bit an "alternative" to popular music when they emerged.
  
  They definitely deserve more attention than they get now.

  Haven't read the rest of the comments before typing this but I watched a documentary (BBC's The Seven Ages Of Rock) in which Michael Stipe was talking about how during the course of writing and producing this album he was going through the death of his father and processing that. IIRC he said the whole album is about death, it's an epitaph. I personally want "Drive" played at my funeral.

  Better is subjective. I think it's hands down better than Murmur. It's a toss up with Reckoning or Life's Rich Pageant for my favorite, though.
  
  u/BurritoDeluxe70 | (2025-09-27 01:59) | [-6 pkt]
  
  I can get behind Reckoning and LRP. I really don’t understand what all the 90s R.E.M. glazing lately is about though. They lost that entire Byrds-Pylon punch that made them so revolutionary.
  
  u/Meteor-of-the-War | (2025-09-27 02:07) | [6 pkt]
  
  They got bored with that and did something different. Artists are allowed to evolve. It's absolutely ok if where they went isn't for you, though. But respect for 90s R.E.M. is hardly a recent thing. Those records were pretty well respected at the time and have been consistently since then.

  A good amount of people out there, especially some redditors, dont get or like the Chilis, and I think it is a shame to only know their radio songs because they truly are a spectacular band, even since their true beginning in 83, and have always been a gift to the world of rock music. Their fans have surely been spoiled for decades.

  What a performance. The Chilis and John strive for exactly what they did right here in this video on whatever night that was. Just note by note perfection without anyone trying to show off too hard but as a three-man instrumental core just being so in tune with each other and leaving a performance that won't be forgotten for lifetimes.
  
  By The Way was definitely a tame album of theirs, but damn does it hit the soul and this track is one of the biggest highlights. Frusciante is a guitar phenom, people know this by these days too bad he's outta RHCP, but his solo stuff still kicks major ass.
