But then again, Psy is not the brightest bulb in the draw.
You can catch the Broadway version of American Idiot on a nationwide tour right now. Here’s the link for tickets: http://www.americanidiotthemusical.com/tickets.php
Not bad for “has beens”...
.....Except for Green Day fans.
American Idol is on its way out. The Voice is what is hot now.
Yep. I don't agree with their politics at all but they are very talented songwriters and American Idiot was a truly brilliant record if you listen to the whole thing. Truly a record deserving of album of the year unlike the vast majority of other stuff out there. I saw them on their 21st Century Breakdown tour and it was one of the best live shows I've seen and I've seen hundreds.
Takes one to know one.
Okay........... not sure what in the world that has to do with what I posted but thanks... I guess...
If you mean a few artists like George Strait, Aaron Watson, Rick Trevino, and the likes, then yes. Country music has been dying since the the mid 90’s for a “crock” format (country/rock).
90% of country music today is pop musicians. Antebellum, Urban, Shelton, Underwood, Lambert, ... all hipster who basically sound exactly alike and wouldn’t know country if they heard it. I mean really, Kid Rock playing at George Jones memorial service? Give me a break.
1981 should have been their last tour!
Most successful rock bands need to let it go after a certain point. Take the money they earned and spend the rest of their lives on a sandy beach sipping margaritas.
Green Day may be making bank, but Psy is more talented.

He is also much like Kid Rock in his musical talents.

Green Day sales to the anarchists,
<><><><><
Talk about damning with faint praise.
And Psy sells to the ecstasy loving club goers.
I confess I have more in common with anarchists than ecstasy swallowing club goers.
Rap is AIDS.
Or they should basically take the Robert Plant route, go solo and go in a totally different direction.
Even the country you mentioned is a lot more civil that either punk rock or rap music.
-— I remember seeing the Rolling Stones on the 1981 tour at the L.A. Coliseum and even then they were considered a dinosaur rock band ——
I remember that. Just 9 years after “Exile on Main Street,” they were over the hill. The music world sure changes fast.
Looking back over their career, they were a real bunch of bleep heads. Mick was a very dark and creepy guy, going back to the beginning. I was reading about him in the “Performance” era. Disgusting guy.
