Rock ‘n roll will never die, as this peak into the future confirms. Spock, however, looks about as convinced as my close, personal friend Andyr, when he’s watching a band from the front of the stage.
What do you see for the future of rock ‘n roll?
I always thought (and secretly hoped) it would look like this

when I was ten years old.
Jerry Orbach – “…and now we tighten the screws”
It’s good to know there will be leotards in our future.
That’s an astounding view of what’s to come!
Wow, that seems prophetic. Looks like there was a little bad Molly at the rave, but things cooled out later. That’s what it looks and sounds like to me when DeadMaw5 or Paris Hilton is on TV. Who knew that in the future, the instruments from the Rock Band game could be used outside the game?
I don’t know what it’s going to sound like but I do know that when I first heard Cars by Gary Neuman, even though I didn’t care for it, I was convinced that was how all music would sound in the future.
Synthesizers are the future! — I remember thinking similar thoughts about Gary Wright’s The Dream Weaver — he put in the liner notes that it was the first all-synthesizer album. Wow, man. But Wright also noted that Jim Keltner and Andy Newmark played drums and the only electric guitar is Ronnie Montrose on the song Power of Love — so he had some caveats in there.
Took the words right out of my mouth. THIS IS THE FUTURE OF ROCK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCc7XJRDD74&list=RDwCc7XJRDD74 Synths and background singers in kimonos! Bring it on!
Ugh! My heartburn is on fire.
One of the greatest performances ever!
Talk about good timing: I just saw this press release about a new megagroup that offers a full frontal look at the future of Rock and Roll – Art of Anarchy. This band has it all: “over-the-top songs that break rock music boundaries”, “all-or-nothing attitudes”, “star power”, a guy named “Bumblefoot”… the list just goes on and on. Get on board now or be left behind!

“Promising over-the-top songs that break rock music boundaries with an all-or-nothing attitude, star power and bring-down-the-house performances…” This is from the Onion, surely. Otherwise, if at this late date someone is writing such copy unironically, the world is even weirder than I suppose it is already.
What you’re feeling is the sting of Gary Wright kicking your ass into the 22nd century! Resistance is futile!
I think my fever has broke. We need less cowbell. In retrospect, it doesn’t appear that they have a dynamite sound.
Hey the Bumblefoot guy is in Guns n Roses? So they say these guys are repsponsible for 150 million in sales, wouldn’t Bumblefoot cancel that out ? Didn’t Chinese Democracy result in 150 million in returns?
Scott Weiland says ‘not so fast.’

Scott Weiland: everything that sucked about the 90s in one convenient package.
I am pretty sure that the gal playing cowbell is Gary’s sister Lorna Wright, who had a solo career for a couple of years.
An initial and intense dislike of STP is one of the many reasons I spent the 1990s in the alt-country wilderness, but they did reel me in on Bing Bang Baby!

I agree wholeheartedly, except that I think Interstate Love Song is a great single and probably my favorite song from the hugely overrated grunge era.
