ive been reading alot of false articles talking about the return of the original guns n roses, but unfortunatly none of this is true. a long time fued between axl rose and slash prevent this from happening, even though slash has said before that he would love to get back togther with the old bandmates, however it would be impossible due to axls grudge. over the years slash has become a huge success, more so than he ever did in guns n roses. he has a few albums out with guess musicians, and let me tell you they are amazing works. however axl carried on with guns n roses, he is the only original member left. they released a new album back in 2008 the chinese democracy, but i beleive it didnt get good reviews. he has changed the line up completely their are three guitar players now and one ofthem is known as bumblefoot who is actually a world renowned guitar player. axls voice is terrible now and guns n roses is dead. as much as i would love to see a reunion, slash is just doing to good on his own to make that sort of change

Alot of great bands came in the 70s including black sabbath, lynyrd skynyrd, and bad company. All three bands are iconic rock bands. Black sabbath are the reasons we have so many sub genres of metal like black and death metal, lynyrd skynyrd made southern rock a very likable genre and bad company were just great all around. no matter how old their music gets i will always listen to these three bands. and thats the thing regardless of how old their music is people are still buying it to this day including alot of younger kids. especially withe black sabbath. people still rebel with that sort of music and because its almost described as satanic thats makes some people like it more. alot of new bands still use these three bands as influences, even if their not even nowhere near that style of music. just goes to show you that their music gets around.

As much as ld hate to say it, green day has really made punk a big genre, one of the biggest in our time right now. seems like most bands want to sound punky and what not, and hey thats cool, if its what you want to do. green day is a band that i really dont like, but i know that their very talented.  Alot of singers in the bands try to imitate billy. try to get the same sounding guitars and what not. and they accomplish it its not hard to do. punk is very popular in this day and age alot more then when it first originated. it seems like the style has not changed at all though from back when it was created.  most of the riffs that they play tend to be rather simple and very repetitive and thats really what i dont like about it, to easy for me.

in my hometown of Tarentum Pennsylvania, about 15 miles from Pittsburgh, we have a very rich community of musicians in the surrounding areas as well as where I live. there is a festival held every year in a town called new Kensington, a band always comes out who is known a great deal in Pittsburgh called daphunk band with there now ex lead singer dan stockman. these guys were the funk legends of Pittsburgh and I believe still are. they cover songs like shake, shake, shake, purple rain, and lets go crazy. a couple years ago we ran in to their now ex singer dan and he gave an old band of mine a couple tips on how to be successful in the music world, and later came down and did a couple songs with us. the only reason I talked about these guys is because we were talking about dance music and what not and id have to say for being a very un popular genre any more these guys sure make you want to dance!

here is a link to them live a couple years ago.

and here is my old band getting a opportunity to cover war pigs with their ex lead singer!
