The Biggest Challenge For Live's Future Success Is... Options

[FishOutaWater]

In my opinion, the biggest challenge to Live's future success is the fact that sadly, for some reason that I don't understand, Rock seems to be almost dead. A rock band cannot get any traction anymore, unless it has a 30 year following like Van Halen, Springstein, U2, Metallica, etc. Apart from the Foo Fighters, Rock n' Roll has been gradually relegated to a specialty genre like jazz and blues. R & B and auto-tune vocalists who are not artists have completely taken over the charts and the record industry is a complete disaster. To me it is really sad because modern music has no heart and soul anymore. And to me, this is the biggest challenge to Live becoming successful again. I would like to see Live be a part of a movement to make rock relevant again.

Got to be careful though with politics rearing its ugly head. Keep the message on the working class and not "REPUBLICANS/DEMOCRATS SUCK!" or "GEORGE BUSH SUCKS!" or "OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!". That will just incite a riot. I'm talking about you, Pearl Jam.

It needs to be a music festival, not a blame game festival.

Also would add Green Day.

Neil Young would be great as well. That old man can still rock pretty damn hard.

I wouldn't touch Green Day if you don't want it to get political. They look for ways to push the buttons. You think the denim wearing working class, wants to see a bunch of 40 year old guys up there wearing makeup, and still trying to dress in the punk rock style?

Valid point. I was thinking more of the Dookie days Green Day

I don't mind if Nugent and Pearl Jam were there, just keep your damn mouths shut and play music. But that is just me. Some folks like their favorite bands to preach their political beliefs. I'd rather they just play music.

I wonder if you could get Soundgarden. Or even just Cornell. His solo shows are great.

I think Nugent and Pearl Jam would kill each other. Nugent is as far right wing as you can get, and Pearl Jam are as far left wing as you can get. Vedder would get drunk and would keep pushing against the Nuge. They both make sure to push that idea during their shows.
