Bands of today who wanna be bands of yesterday

Okay, I say the strokes wanna be the stooges

1. Tool wants to be the artsy Zeppelin.

[furrylitldevil]

2. I always thought of Tool

as this generation's Pink Floyd, but maybe it's just me

[BBradley]

3. Maybe,

Zeppelin is obviously a huge influence when you listen to their music. I hear people talk about them being influenced by King Crimson mostly, but I can't hear that, whenever I listen to them the only band that comes to mind is Zeppelin.

4. The Darkness wanna be Queen

boy, do they want to be Queen!

6. too bad Queen had talent

whereas the Darkness does not

8. No shit!

On one hand, I'm glad to see a band doing that kind of music, but on the other hand, they don't have the talent. That singer--every time he goes into falsetto, I just cringe. Freddie Mercury, he ain't. The funny thing is, I read that the band found him, and decided he'd be their singer, when they saw him doing karaoke of "Bohemian Rhapsody"!!!!

10. that really doesn't surprise me

diggin that talent pool

very few have the skill to be like Freddie Mercury.

5. Jet wants to be just about any band from the late 60s-70s.

their 'are you gonna be my girl' video is almost to 'Sargent pepper' to watch, but their a cool band.

7. We are now in the mannerist era...

so they all want to be bands of yesterday. Rockandroll is completely played out. It is no more relevant than ragtime.
