| Obviously they're talented musicians and deserved to play bigger places than the bar scene but whoever thought they were the saviors of rock n roll needs to reevaluate their standards. I love the music but I sort of just take them for what they are which Is a band that has blended their influences in creating their identity. I dont think they're pioneering or redefining any genres within rock that would warrant that sort of hyperbole. In 10-20 years are up incoming artists going to say they drew inspiration from TGA? Probably not.
On a side note though the whole saving rock n roll is such nonsense to me. It obviously sucks that Nickelback is considered "good" mainstream rock but there are so many different genres within rock n roll that there is no shortage of talented bands. | |
