...and barely anyone to replace them
the music landscape in 2050 will be grim

>>127340644
i have made a thread about this, what are concert promoters going to do when we live in a world of just old hag taylor swift and ancient mumble rappers who are irrelevant because rap has an ageism problem

the death of rock is going to be the death of live music.

I’ve been banging this drum for 20 years but nobody cares. I laugh whenever I read about a new concert venue getting built. Do we honestly think Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Morgan Wallen are going to shoulder the weight of the concert ticket industry? Look at how desperate people are for a rock band (Oasis reunion)

i ignore, simple as

>>127340806
Yet here you are faggot

>>127340806
fuck off then

music is dying, not for lack of performers, but the death/monopolization/enshittification of the infrastructure required to build a following "the old fashioned way"; the alternative paths are also monopolized and enshittified.

The experience of going to concerts, even at local venues has become so shit for audience and performer alike that it just isn't worth it anymore. Even the best of the current artists/bands are struggling to break even on the road (and forget about music sales).

There is no fix. I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen most of the great bands in their heydey (and a bunch of them before they were huge).

perhaps you'd like to call them 'woke' as well?

>>127341040
Who have you seen in their heyday that sticks out?

>>127341054
off the top of my head
Van Halen
Melt Banana before they became a laptop band
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Metallica when they were hungry in the mid-80s
Bjork
Rush
Talkng Heads
The Police
Jane's Addiction

yeah I'm old, so what

>92
Kneel

>>127341118
I’m 37. I did get to see Van Halen in 2004 with Hagar and then 2007 with DLR. it was fun but I knew even then that it was probably mind blowing in the 80s. Jealous about the Talking Heads and Police shows you went to.

>>127340639
Right, she was 33 when Blondie put their first album out. Wtf was she doing until then?

>>127340605 (OP)
Bruce Dickinson 67
Thom Yorke 56
Gerard Way 48
Matt Bellamy 47

>>127340644
Tons of great Rockstars in their 50s and 60s, a good amount in their 30s and 40s too. Even a few up and comers in their 20s out their

Trent Reznor 60
Jerry Cantrell 59
Serj Tankian 57
Marilyn Manson 56
Sounds like another decade or so of good music

Who do you guys think is next one to go on that list? I'm gonna say Steven Tyler

>>127341198
We’re talking 70 & up in case you didn’t notice a pattern. We’re obviously not worried about middle aged musicians expiring soon

>Right, she was 33 when Blondie put their first album out. Wtf was she doing until then?
She was 31 actually. She started out in the 60s as a teenage backing singer on girl group records and then was a Playboy Bunny for a time. The truth is Blondie never really were a punk group despite playing at CBGB's and Debbie really always wanted to be Diana Ross not Lydia Lunch.

>>127341195
>>127340639
She tried to make it as a nude model and failed

>>127341235
No we're not. We're talking the death of music. There are plenty of legitimate artists around who ought to be the voice of our age, instead of corporate garbage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fALdOkf_eCM

>>127341411
If you’re saying there’s nothing in OP list that’s quality then I couldn’t give a rats ass what you think about music

>>127341347
*make as a hippy folk singer.
She only did Playboy hostess/waitress stuff for a little while to pay the bills (no nude modelling, that'd be out there by now if she did.)

I'm mid 30s and when I was growing up the concept of a 70 or 80-something rockstar literally didn't exist. It still seems a little bizarre.

>Chuck Negron – 83
I wonder what people are going to post in his thread when he dies?

It's unironically over when McCartney and Dylan die

>>127340605 (OP)
Only ones I really care about are Jimmy Page and Keith Richards

>>127340692
How recent is this pic? Alex looks amazing for his age

>>127340684
If he gets a sticky when he dies, that's it. I'm quitting /mu/ forever.

>>127341543
Same. I remember when I was a teen learning guitar and discovering Jimmy Page and he was just barely 60 and now he's 82 or something
Slash was only 40 when I started playing

>>127341173
the 2004 tour was awful, I mean really awful, not in that "oh they're not as good as they were in the 80s and early 90s" kind of way, but in a "jesus fucking christ wtf has gone wrong in the world of Van Halen"

the 'reunion' shows were better b/c EVH reeled it in a little with the drugs and booze but yeah I feel badly that the 2k4 show was your first VH concert.

>>127340605 (OP)
Sonny Rollins is 94.

>>127341543
>>127341621
yeah I remember seeing Floyd in 94 and everyone being like "fuckin' David Gilmour is old" and he was 48 at the time.

And Billy Joel on the 1994 River of Dreams tour - he'd have the music from Jurassic Park going when they turned off the lights to start the show, and he was joking about how all the dinosaurs, including himself, were on tour that year (Floyd / Stones / etc)

>>127340758
>>127341551
Wholesome photo but things aren’t looking good for Chuck. When he goes it leave Danny Hutton. One Dog Night

>>127341973
Same thing when The Eagles did the Hell Freezes Over tour that summer. Funny listening to Gen Xers talk about how old Don Henley and Joe Walsh were 31 years ago. When you’re 22, why does 48 seem ancient? Little did we know these fuckers would still be touring

>>127342256
I'm gonna jerk off to his daughter
What's her insta? Hopefully she has pics of her ass in leggings

Gene “Duke of Earl” Chandler is 88

Should have been on the crash that killed Buddy Holly, had survivors guilt and nearly drank himself to death but came out stronger than ever

>>127342742
she built a whole city on rock and roll

92, and if I'm not mistaken he's the very last of his kind - think Kris Kristofferson was the last of those country lads to go.

he's a legend. almost died, came back and continued making the good stuff.

Normal paragraph breaks are fine. On reddit you have to Enter twice for a line break, which shows up as double spacing on any other website.

So when someones post is completely double spaced.

Like this.

It's safe to assume they're a faggot redditor.

And can safely be ignored.

Total boomer death soon, I'll miss them
