I always remembered this because WWE's had some very very poorly produced live performances over the years and I couldn't believe how good this one sounded
It's crazy how humans are and how we can seem to hang on just long enough for certain things. For him to just be doing that final show of his the other week and now here we are and he's passed. Surely it isn't coincidental. RIP

Boomer ahh lyrics. Nobody was listening to this shit back then. At least it has soul I guess.

>WWE used to get rock bands
>now can only get low tier rappers
what happened bros

In what? 2007? Sure they were. Rock eventually died in the early/mid 2010s but it was still plenty prominent in 07

>>18327613
Yeah but ozzy was not cool. He was probably below Kid Rock at this point.

He probalby never knew what the fuck was going on and he most likely thought this sport was for manbabies who needed to grow up.

But damn, he was the best celeb that supported the business. RIP Ozzy.

>>18327613
kek, no. It was in its dying throes.
Nu Metal was dead by then.
Classic Rock was dead way before that.
Heavy Metal had a brief resurgence in '03-'04, but it was nostalgia acts at festivals only, and references in movies, not actual new shit from new bands.
Pop Punk was dying way before '07.
Grunge was dead.
Post Grunge was killed by Nu Metal 5 years earlier.

Emo was around, I guess. And Alt/Indie Rock in Bongland, but those died fast and were never super popular. It was practically dead, Jim. And when EDM hit in 2008, it was definitely dead.

The most popular rock acts around then were stuff like U2, The Killers and White Stripes. Oh and Tool put out an album that year.

>"Rock was still alive and prominent in 2007"
>"N-nuh uh" lists a bunch of subgenres that aren't just rock
Congrats on your strawman. Rock as a whole was still around and popular in 2007

Every time. Rock was having dialysis in 07. No prominent genre would just suddenly die a year later.

>>18327703
Good bands, but they weren't cracking top 10s. They weren't that popular in 07. Picrel. Dots are barely rock, and they most of it is not rock related at all. Most people did not like Rock at this time.

He’s a fucking Hall of famer where is his sticky

The radio stations were bought by one or two Americans who loved Nickelback, and they had broadcasters/DJs change playlists to have more Nickelback and more artists like Nickelback on the airwaves.
It started in 2003 and didn't stop for a decade.
That's why rock died. The genre wasn't stale, it simply wasn't being produced and broadcast the old way anymore.

He knew it was time

I've never ventured into /mu/ but I can tell that guy is one of them. I can only imagine how pretentious it is there kek. What an absolute faggot

Kek yup. It's not even that liking music is bad. I'm big into it but I just don't have my head so far up my own ass to miss the part where it's completely subjective. No matter which band is someone's favorite, regardless of how mainstream or unknown they may be, there's always going to be someone out there who thinks they aren't cool and absolutely suck. And that person is entirely entitled to feel that way because again it's all subjective. Music snobs are the fucking worst. Imagine jacking yourself off for liking a song and simply having an opinion

>>18327428
They started way back in the early 90's, but they finally got their way and squashed any heavy music from white males to get traction with the masses and kept pushing flavor of the week urban artists that work cheap and are happy to get their 0.0007 cents from streaming platforms as the industry progressed.
