    You’re right in that this person is out of the loop, but they’re right that the mainstream has moved past hard rock for the same social signifiers they used hard rock for. It you want angst and rebellion, putting on an oldies band like rolling stone won’t have the same impact that it did back then.



  • I’m lucky in that I’ve seen a majority of bands I want to see live (feasibly). There are a few exceptions, but they aren’t bands that I feel like I am incomplete without having witnessed.

    Consider the Source would be one https://considerthesourcemusic.bandcamp.com/track/you-won-a-goat

    I had behold the arctopus as a white whale since I found out about them around 2007 and they were visiting london while I was away from there. “Yankee bands come by all the time, I’ll see them next tour” I said. Next tour was in 2013, they were only touring the US. I JUST got out of my overdraft. “I can’t afford to at this time I said”. Next tour was 2018, and 4 dates in Northeast USA.

    I saw them. In case you aren’t aware, BTA is an instrumental power trio playing heavily counterpoint based tech death.* The guitar player was sick. (he was unable to attend because he was ill, as well as being sick as in impressive)

    I am considering it a win that I got to see Colin Marston at least.

    I would have liked to have seen Estradasphere, but the band split up. I saw some of their members as part of Secret Chiefs 3, that’s good enough for me.

    I found out about Zu by seeing them live, so that worked out pretty good.

    * I mean, all tech death is based, but this is based on counterpoint
