Duff McKagan and Sebastian Bach Enter Rock Is Dead Debate (A Top Story)


.
On Thursday Duff McKagan and Sebastian Bach Enter Rock Is Dead Debate was a top story. Here is the recap: (Classic Rock) Three more musicians have waded in on the state of the music business in the wake of Gene Simmons' proclamation that "rock is dead." Simmons last month blamed a lack of support from the music industry and the growth of illegal downloading for what he calls the demise of rock and roll.

Now former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, Guns N' Roses icon Duff McKagan and one time Motley Crue singer John Corabi have had their say.

Bach agrees that things don't work the way they used to and that the internet has a lot to answer for, but he insists rock is alive and well as far as he's concerned.

He tells IndiePower: "I get enough rock in my life. I rock as hard as I can, and then I go to sleep. There's this thing called the Internet. It's wrecked everything. I hope it's just a fad. Prince says the Internet's just a fad. It's gonna be gone soon."

For his part, McKagan accepts that the internet has changed the way we listen to music - especially albums. He tells Let There Be Talk: "I have two teenage kids. They listen to a song by one artist, a song by somebody else, a song by another. And I go, 'Don't you wanna listen to the rest of the record?' They look at me, like, 'What's up, antique? What are you talking about?'
