burning question

to be honest i can't say i am bothered about the return of the classic rock band, there are so many new bands i would rather listen to, so i wont be going out to buy them or even download them, they had there time and now it is the time for as i said the new bands.

Of course I'd be welcome to read about classic rock like Def Leppard. If fashion styles keep coming back from the past why can't great friggin bands like Def Leppard. Even mullets have com back. I say welcome back the best rock music!

naahhh
classic rock had its time, and is best left on old vinyls to be reminisced over by old men and women with perms. :)

Classic Rocks!

Classic Rock is ten times better than most modern music. It's definitely a good thing that old bands are releasing albums again.
KISS at Download this year will be the greatest thing known to man :D.

Personally I would say bands who return after years out are motivated commercially rather than musically. It's a shame when great modern bands like Machine Head put in a lot of hard work and miss the charts, then bands like Def Leppard blast in on reputation alone.

burning topic, classic rock

It's only classic because it hasnt moved on since the eighties unlike bands such as Iron Maiden, who have remained popular by adapting and improving

Personally I reckon this is all Nickleback and "rockstar"'s fault. This, world hunger, global warming and almost all of the rest of the Earth's problems

yes yes yes yes!!
If it wasn't for classic rock then we wouldn't have new shit, and it's because of all the new bands that epic music is now 'classic' I'm not discouraging more recent bands, I just think it's a piss take when older people, with not so nice hair aren't appreciated because they're not 'scene' enough.
I personally love a whole mix of stuff, but hate it when I have something like def or even G'n'R playing and someone asks what I'm listening to?!?!

WELCOME BACK REAL ROCK :D
It's been long enough

Modern age at the moment seems to be going going back in time with its dress and music taste.
I have the feeling classic rock will deffinatly come rolling back, and i welcome it with open arms and rock fingers in the air!!

I don't know anyone who likes classic rock who actually reads K.

Why would they, after all, like most older forms of music, their music has been vilified by Kerrang over the years.

Just because something is new does not mean it is improved. Take New Coke for instance, or that New Persil which destroyed clothes rather than cleaned them.
Same goes for music.

Burning Classic Rock

No! We have grown up in a way that we now happily swap our Whitesnake records For Bullet for my Valentine and our Def Leppard records for LostProphets. We are all about music from our generation and not of those who listened to rock while wearing flares and sporting afros.
