Slash Says Rock Scene Needs Someone To Shake Things Up

(TeamRock Radio) Slash reckons some rock bands are playing it too safe as they don't want to anger their record companies. He previously countered Gene Simmons' "rock is dead" comments, saying the genre is producing great music. But he now thinks it's time someone who's not after commercial success came along to shake things up.

He tells the Manchester Evening News: "I do think rock and roll bands have become really conformist and they are worried about pissing off their record companies and being played on the radio.

"Rock and roll definitely needs a movement. It's become the music industry's bothersome stepchild and what it needs is someone really committed to come and shake things up who doesn't give a sh*t if they make it."

He continues: "I never got into music for all of this. I just learned guitar and started a band. I think if you're planning for the fame and fortune, if it's pre-meditated, you lose your musical integrity." Read more here.
