Death of Guitar Rock

That's my understanding as well.

Bluegrass is, quite simply, fun. Each spring there is a bluegrass festival of sorts at Wheeler Farm and it is a Padrino family tradition to be there.

But don't lose hope. Guitar rock is not dead. It's just not played on AM/FM anymore. You need to invest in satellite radio. And you have to hunt a little. Much of what we used to call rock is now called "alternative country".

I've been meaning to get satellite. I'm a cheap bastage though so I haven't done it yet. But FM radio is getting worse and worse, so maybe soon...

I don't own the new Smashing Pumpkins album from what I have heard it rips. And Nickelback sucks.

I've always been under the impression that a nickelback is a 5th DB used for defending against passing situations. It's a band?

I wouldn't know any of their music if it bit me on the hiney.

Satellite radio is the only way to go.

Agreed. My wife likes Nickelback, and I just can't stand them. They are wannabes. They are like the rock stars who act hard because it'll get them girls.

Seriously, look at this guy:



Is that a rock star? No!

I tried to give Nickelback a chance for my wife. I just can't stand them. They suck. They blow. Awful.
