The question, I guess in a roundabout way, meant to ask if it’s viable for record companies to invest in new rock bands. Seems as though the answer is no. There are big bands from 15-20 years ago that are on tour obviously doing well but it seems as though record companies do not want to invest in new rock bands as evidence by the fact that no one has been able to name a new rock band from the past 10 years that’s well known, doing well commercially, or charting.

Yeah but can you name one band that started in the past 10 years that’s as regarded as highly as the other bands I listed in the post? I’d imagine most if not all of those concerts selling out are from bands formed 15+ years ago. My thought was that record companies aren’t looking for rock bands anymore because they don’t sell like pop/rap do these days.
