Rock music is taking a nap these days. Nobody wants to grow up to be a rock star anymore. :( I'm coming to the conclusion that rock may be on the way out. A 70 year fad that has about run it's course. Tool and Pucifer and the only recent talent I care for.

The blues music scene is doing good. Bad times tends to breed good blues.

Yeah, Tool sold tickets in London for £125 a seat. Since then I am committed to local venues only.

Older audiences only listen to older bands and younger audiences dont want rock....yet....;-)

I don't think you're looking in the right places, rock music is booming at the moment. King Gizzard, BCNR, black midi, IDLES, Slift, Shame, Fontaines D.C. I could genuinely go on and on, theres a miriad of bands out at the moment that are pushing rock forward and bringing it to new audiences. It's not mainstream the way it once was but it's certainly not a fad.
