Alice Cooper has dismissed the notion that rock is dead, saying that "rock and roll is where it should be right now."

Yeah, he's kidding himself. This is like Frank Sinatra around 1990 telling us that crooning was not dead and it was right where it should be. Rock is now a marginal music category, catering to an aging and dwindling group of people. Sad but true.

Nope not true at all. Yeah it’s not ruling the charts anymore. But honestly there was a brief window when it was. And even then pop and schmaltz were bigger, we’ve just forgotten because those songs get forgotten. There’s new awesome rock and roll being made all the time. Especially in Europe, Germanic countries are really carrying the torch these days. Get away from the radio, go on the hunt.
