I've seen that there's quite few people that were into the 'old' rock of the 70's (The Clash, The Jam, The Who) and I just wondered what them peolple thought of the new rock?
There's always new bands being compared to old bands (The Libertines to The Clash) but I think most of these bands have something different to offer in every department.
I personally think this is a great time for alternative music, with a shed load of bands coming through ready to make a name for themselves.
I am mainly into singer/songwriters but also have a lot of time for the new bands. My picks of the new bands coming thorugh would be The Killers, The Stands and Jet.
Any opinions would be nice to hear

My lad, who's 15, has been through the new metal craze, then went on to new rock, but now, he's into Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Led Zep and Metallica.
He can't stand most of the new stuff, but I can't get hold of my old CD's - he's always got 'em.

Fair play to him, variety is the spice of life!!!!
I used to be into a lot of the old soul music. Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Drifters were a few favourites and can still be heard blasting from my stereo from time to time ;D

Is anyone on here as old as me and remembers the time before the term "Heavy metal" was coined and when rock was called blues? Jimi Hendrix was a blues guitarist. The Rolling Stones played blues. The Yardbirds was a blues band - or had the term "rock" come into use by then? Back in the 60s, we had rhythmn and blues, but it wasn't what they call rhythmn and blues today. The names keep changing. I could do with a bit of advice on the history of how the terms used to describe music evolved, because in my novel I have characters discussing it and I wrote it purely from memory and I might have got it wrong. Fortunately it is an eBook not a paperback, so I can change it. Extract - "Nigel opened the compartment and rummaged through the contents looking for the mints. A few items made him smile. “Black Sabbath, Frijid Pink and Motorhead CDs Myriam? You don't strike me as a headbanger.” Myriam laughed, “I listen to some of it, but not a lot. It's my brother who likes heavy metal, he's a big fan. What about you? Do you like it?” “I'm a bit like you. I like some of it, but not all. I never tire of hearing 'Emerald' by Thin Lizzy." A bit later, they again get on to the subject of rock \ heavy metal [just to put this into context - Nigel is older than Myriam and worried about the age difference, and there had been a bit of a coincidence to do with geological rocks and rock music] - "Cream was a heavy rock group and the evening before, we had talked about heavy rock, and now I am following a new lead - rock. Is it just coincidence, or do you believe in mystical forces?” “I'm afraid I have to contradict you Nigel. Cream wasn't a heavy rock group, it was a progressive blues band.” “True, that's what they are classed as today. Now, I'm not old enough to remember the era Myriam,” Nigel stressed the point, “so to me it is history, but I know how, over time, the classifications have changed. My brother, who is older than I am, always called Cream a heavy rock group. He remembers when some of the music we now call rock was called blues, but things change. Before his time with Cream, Clapton was in The Yardbirds. Those two groups blurred the boundaries with their mix of blues and rock, and they are two good examples of how definitions, such as heavy rock, blues and progressive rock changed as the music evolved.” "Okay, I'll concede that point, but be rational Nigel. It was 'Layla' that was played, not 'Crossroads'. If it had been 'Crossroads', then I might have found it a little spooky, but it wasn't. You are stretching the facts to make it look like a connection. Sorry Nigel, I'd say it is just your imagination. All that reading must have left you dazed and confused.” " All advice gladly received. "The Perdix Project" by Teddy Tunstall It was priced at £4.99, but for a limited period it is on special offer at £1.99p. For less than the price of a pint, you can enjoy a few hours engrossed in an intriguing mystery with mind-expanding, sci-fi thought experiments, good, solid detective work and a James Bond-style action packed ending. You can read the whole of chapter one and a good bit of chapter two for free. See the "Look inside" link just above the photograph of the book cover - but they don't really capture the flavour of the book. After chapter five it becomes a gripping detective story with intriguing clues followed by a thrilling ending. You don't need a Kindle to read the novel. There is a link to download a free app that lets it be read on any device. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SJNP9S4My next novel, "The Adventures of Jasper Spode", is a crime thriller set in the world of antiques dealing and it is packed with Stoke and North Staffs references - some obvious, some hidden, some cryptic and some very obscure. You will need to be very knowledgeable about the local area to get them all. Best wishes, Teddy. |

Any opinions would be nice to hear I always enjoy trips to the US as their rock radio always introduces me go to new stuff. Not exactly a new band, but my daughter ans I love Shinedown. As far as the punkier end of spectrum goes, I tend to stick to the older bands, but always nice to se UK Subs as they always have new bands opening for them |

I heard of a band in last few days , Italian glam punks called Giuda and they’re like a mash up of the Sweet/Slade with some terrace anthem punk thrown in - an acquired taste but would love to see them live, would imagine you’d struggle not to bounce up and down to them! Know someone who saw them at Rebellion and said they were excellent

I was really impressed by a band called Tax the Heat, who I saw support Mott the Hoople recently. I didn’t really think old school Rock bands were still emerging anymore.

There's plenty if you know where to look / listen. They just can't get mainstream airplay, unless they're the utter dog shit that is Greta Van Fleet. Look up Broken Witt Rebels, Stonebroken, Those Damn Crows, The Temperance Movement, Raveneye, Brother & Bones, Skam, Howling Tides (from Uttoxeter). All British and all worth supporting. |

I think your comment about no mainstream support is key. Small music venues are in decline and daft as it sounds TV programs like Top of the Pops could break a band to a larger audience and greater awareness. I know the modern trend is to bypass venues or record deals via social media, but there’s nothing like seeing a band in the flesh. The good thing about the old music press was you could flick through the NME and check a band out that caught your eye, the Internet isn’t great in that way. |

Very good point re lack of radio and no music press to speak of anymore. Not really my cuppa but saw a band called The Treatment opening for god knows who a couple of years ago, Hard melodic rock, like an early Def Leppard a bit, and were on the merch stand and I bought a cd off them as nice guys and had played hearts out. Had a conversation about what they’d get from a cd or download sale online and the guy said buying from them at shows means the6 get the bulk of the money as opposed to a paltry percentage from amazon and the streaming services. So I guess my point is, if you see and enjoy, support them there and then. Heard good things re StoneBroken too so will look them up. Voodoo6 are another Brit rock band worth a watch, changed lead singers recently but new one is good |

www.blackstarriders.com/tourThis is worth getting tickets for. BSR are outstanding, but for the money to get Wayward Sons and Stonebroken on the bill too it's a bargain. I've got tickets for Brother & Bones in Liverpool on the Saturday before the Manchester Sunday BSR show. Should be a decent weekend. It's worth keep an eye on the Sugarmill and Eleven sites to see who's on. Planet Rocks new Rock show is worth listening to.

Thought it was great and was instantly reminded of Thin Lizzy. Later I found out Scott Gorham was I the line up. All makes sense now. I’ll be looking up their gig schedule for sure 👍 |

Assassin of Silence - I've just noticed your tag line - Anti appreciation society appreciation society #1 You seem to have a similar sense of humour to me, so I think you will like "The Perdix Project" by Stoke author, Teddy Tunstall (me). It is a techno-thriller \ science-based crime thriller but with the odd touch of humour and there is a bit of sarcasm about an appreciation society. :-) "The Perdix Project" by Teddy Tunstall It was priced at £4.99, but for a limited period it is on special offer at £1.99p. For less than the price of a pint, you can enjoy a few hours engrossed in an intriguing mystery with mind-expanding, sci-fi thought experiments, good, solid detective work and a James Bond-style action packed ending. You can read the whole of chapter one and a good bit of chapter two for free. See the "Look inside" link just above the photograph of the book cover - but they don't really capture the flavour of the book. After chapter five it becomes a gripping detective story with intriguing clues followed by a thrilling ending. You don't need a Kindle to read the novel. There is a link to download a free app that lets it be read on any device. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SJNP9S4My next novel, "The Adventures of Jasper Spode", is a crime thriller set in the world of antiques dealing and it is packed with Stoke and North Staffs references - some obvious, some hidden, some cryptic and some very obscure.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but on what page does Myriam reverse cowgirl Nigel... " Thanks for reading enough of my posting to get to the names bathstoke. I think most people never read past my first two sentences. I can't say what page anything is on because that depends on what sort of device it is viewed on. I think you get bigger pages on some devices, and so the page numbers are different. But if that is your main interest, then you should buy it for the handcuffs scene. You don't need a Kindle to read the novel. There is a link to download a free app that lets it be read on any device. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SJNP9S4It is on special offer at £1.99p. It has 280,000 words -you will never get as many words per pound from any other author. Regards, Teddy. |
