The empty slot of the musical God...................
What does the 'millennium generation' bang its head to???(am referring to head-banging here).... who are the strummers with a heart and attitude to die for???? OK my efforts at an interesting start being at a low ebb, i will get to the point.........
THIS GENERATION DOESN'T HAVE A DISTURBED, OBSESSIVE, HONEST-TONGUED (more like slap-tongued) MUSICAL GOD TO LOOK UP TO!!!!!!! You don't believe it?? Lemme explain.
1950's had Elvis. 1960's had The Beatles and Rolling Stones. 1970's had Pink Floyd and Led Zappelin. 1980's had Metallica and Guns n Roses. 1990's had Nirvana, again Metallica and even Spice Girls.......
Whom do we have??? Green Day maybe........but they haven't got the required number of controversies to their name. U2???( puh-leese!!!! they are ok at the most) Linkin Park is great but lyrics are mediocre (however the song 'what i have done?' gives me hope). Hoobastank also needs a lyricyst urgently. Coldplay doesn't have the hard edge nor the fantastic songs.
Now i would not have had to write this article if Eminem had been a rockstar and not a rapstar.He is deliciously controversial, his lyrics are disgustingly honest, and he has this morbid sense that makes his attitude just right for today's times. But but but he happens to be a rapstar. Rap can never create the high and the frenzy that rock(in the loose sense of the word) can create.....
So the slot is still open for the musical God of the millennium...........Point made. Article finished.
