With extreme grief i say that rock'n roll is dying. The era of ACDC, Metallic, Megadeth and Iron Maiden is almost coming to an end, the day of reckoning, the day when rock will be forgotten and mainstream pop and stuff like rap and dubstep will run rampant on the streets.
The era of hardcore badboys on drugs on stage with guitars and such instruments is coming to an end. Now a special kind of music is coming out where people are more into the hotness of a chick who is singing and not the song they are singing about. Yes i agree some of the songs are really good but most of them are not.
There was a time when people were afraid to come in close proximity with a metal guitarist because he might shoot you. But now its nothing great at all considering the progress Justin Bieber has made in showing that he is a badass by spitting on one of his fans. This is a completely different outlook people have on current pop stars, the outlook being that of shame and regret whereas for the rockstars back in the 90's it was of fear and respect.
Everyone must have heard of the big 4 right?
(Just in case you are wondering, the big 4 consists of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Pantera)

Now this concert is a heaven for the metal fan. Featuring Metallic, Megadeth, Slayer and Pantera, the big 4 concerts have always been sold out for any show.
Now that people like Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus have taken up the stage i feel that the era of rock and roll is slowly but definitely fading from our minds and mindless house and dubstep music is taking over the big screens. I remember during a Lamb of God concert I returned home with a bloody nose, in concerts of say Demi Lovatto one can not possibly get a testosterone rush and beat up the next person he sees.
The world has seen some mammoths in the rock and roll industry but even they are not coming out with new music. In fact most of them have reverted to pop rock or punk rock which again, according to me is a violation of most of the things Rock stands for. Yes i agree that some other genres of music are still alive and living strong, but the era which changed the way most people think right now was the era of rock and roll.
One of the most classical compositions done by Led Zeppelin can be easily considered as one of the finest work of art the music industry has seen. Yes i am referring to the song "Stairway to Heaven".
This song was one of the first songs i heard after which i became a die hard fan of theirs. In the 80's and 70's the lyrics of most of the songs were extremely meaningful and deep, lyrics which would actually make us contemplate the meaning of life and shine light on the difficulties people face in their everyday lives. Now a days whenever i ask people if they have heard of the legendary song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, I get a weird look on their face as they tell me they have not. A song as legendary as this must be heard by all just to remind ourselves of our rich musical past and the lyrical genius of the one and only Freddie Mercury.
To conclude all i would like to say is that although new music is coming out and they may have catchy tunes, we must not forget our heritage, the father of most of the current music. We must not forget the amazing tunes and guitar solos to which maybe all of us once performed an air guitar to. Songs which we could hear at any given time of the day to elevate whatever mood we may be in. we must not forget Rock and roll for it is our past and I hope the legends return to the big stage once more and show the people of the world about how rich the music back then was.
