Tiens, question qui me taraude : c'est beau, louable toutes ces réactions d'internautes sur la page FB de RM. Sauf que : tous ces mêmes internautes, où sont-ils sur le forum ? Ils se cachent sans doute! Alors, mesdames messieurs aux poings levé, viendez sur RM, le forum, pour poursuivre ici le débat que vous animiez si bien sur ce fabuleux réseau social - qui n'a de social que par le titre, faut-il le souligner... - qu'est Facebook
Tu soulèves là un vrai problème de société !
Certains de ceux qui réagissent sur FB ne sont pas inscrits au forum ou trouvent peut être plus facile de le faire sur FB. Que peut on leur dire pour venir nous rejoindre, que ici une fois inscrits, contrairement à FB, ils ne seront pas sujets à espionite ! Et que leur avis sur un album ou un debat comme celui ci sera pérenne ! Je m'explique, allez retrouver l'avis de tel album par untel un an après sur FB, c'est mission impossible dans les murs saturés en vrac d'infos hétéroclite. Ici avec l'outil de recherche cela prend quelques secondes ....
Bon ceci dit le débat continue avec ces nouvelles positions :
Shaun Morgan de SEETHER et Josh Todd de BUCKCHERRY ont répondu à Gene Simmons .
AlternativeNation.net eu la chance de s'asseoir autour d'une table avec les membres de SEETHER, BUCKCHERRY et ESCAPE THE FATE à Irvine, en Californie, le 16 Septembre Alors que les musiciens sont d'accord avec certains des points de vues de Simmons, ils ont eu beaucoup plus d'espoir pour l'avenir du rock que Gene.
Morgan:. "Je suis d'accord qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de bons groupes de rock qui sortent Mais je ne prends pas Gene Simmons comme une autorité sur quoi que ce soit, parce que ce mec ne vit plus dans le vrai monde du rock comme le reste d'entre nous, il vit dans la «pays de Gene Simmons." Et la planète de KISS est très différente de la nôtre, vous savez ce que je veux dire, il ne va pas dans un bus de tournée et tourner pendant une année ? . "
Todd:.. «J'ai lu la déclaration de Gene, certains points sont vrais et d'autres pas, je pense que si vous êtes « passionné par ce que vous faites avec votre groupe, vous allez trouver un moyen.

Said Morgan: "I agree that there aren't a lot of good rock bands coming out. I think it's become homogenized and I think that there's too much focus on what people look like and not much on what they sound like. But then again, by the same token, I don't take Gene Simmons as an authority on anything, because the dude's out of touch, man. To come from a guy like that, I guess it's something that's worth listening to, but he also doesn't live in the real rock world like the rest of us; he lives in 'Gene Simmons land.' And KISS' planet is very different to the rest of ours, you know what I mean? He doesn't get on a tour bus and ride around for a year at a time; he flies around, and has flowers and crap put in his dressing room and stuff. So I do agree that there aren't a lot of bands that are inspiring to me, and there aren't a lot of bands that I'm gonna go out and buy their albums. But there are other bands — like there's a band called KYNG that I'm a huge fan of. And those guys are just plugging away by themselves, man, and every single band that they've toured with loves them, and people are starting to come around to them. And that's just because those guys are hard workers and they write good music. So there is still good music out there. It's just that record companies don't have the imagination to find it, I don't think."
Stated Todd: "I read [Gene's] statement and I read some of the details of what he was saying, and some of it is true. And some of it is, like… I don't believe it. I think that if you're passionate about what you're doing and your band, then you're gonna find a way. All that statement means to me is there's a huge void in rock music for a great rock band. So that, to me, is really powerful, and it can be whatever you make it. And you've gotta go for it. What I think is really lacking in rock music are guitar heroes and really great frontmen that really work on their craft of singing and performing, and they're not sitting there playing a guitar, singng into a microphone, standing there being pretty stagnant the whole show. I think that we need more rock and roll heroes, guys that just shred on the guitar and they take their guitar very seriously, like Eddie Van Halen, like Slash, like all the guys… Angus Young, like those type of guys. Because there is a reason for rock and roll solos, there was a reason for it in rock music, and that's to give the singer a break, and also to add a really cool element to the music. So hopefully that's gonna happen again. Because I think a lot of the new rock records are very washed out, they're muddy, they lack melody, they lack groove, they lack songs. They have the same type of models. Like, if you listen to Active Rock radio, it's, like, one band after another and you can't tell who is who, and you can't tell what record a song came off of out of, like, three or four records of one band. You're, like, 'Was that record one or record three?' Not to name names, because I know everybody is out there working hard and being passionate about what they do, but I mean, that's just the way… that's what I feel like when I listen to it. Right now, all my new music is all pop. I just think pop is so interesting right now, 'cause there's so many great artists out there right now — like Bruno Mars, for instance. And stuff like that. That's exciting to me. I can't find anything… I have searched to find some really cool stuff in rock and I just can't find any super-great rock records. So I think there's a real good opportunity for a young band. They're gonna have to hustle and it's gonna be definitely harder than it used to be. But you've just gotta think of new creative ways to market your record."
