Scott Ian Adds His 2 Cents To Rock Is Dead Debate
. Simmons said last month that illegal downloading and a lack of industry support had killed rock music, but he faced an immediate backlash from a string of musicians including Dee Snider and Slash. Now Ian has waded in on the debate, telling WHEB-FM: "I think the exact opposite. I don't look at things from a strictly business standpoint like I think Gene does. Just because the media may not be paying attention like it used to, or record labels are only looking for the next 16-year-old pop star. "For me, rock is never dead, as long as there's bands that want to play this music. It has nothing to do with what the media is pushing down people's throats. I've never looked at it that way, because we've never needed radio and we've never needed MTV to do what we do." Read more here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
