Ozzy: Being in a band is dying art
Do you agree?
Ozzy Osbourne says the rise of technology in music means bands are losing the ability to jam and shape ideas together. And the Black Sabbath icon – who's the subject of a free TeamRock iPad supplement – has first-hand experience of the phenomenon. Ozzy tells Noisey.com: “The computer age is taking over and there's a lot of trickery. I've actually seen guys in bands. You go, 'Do you want to jam?' and they go, 'Jam? What's that?' Just playing anything together. They can't do it. 'I'll have to consult my computer first.' The art of being in a band is dying.” The singer says he's always proud when another musician is influenced by Sabbath – and he doesn't just mean by the music. He says: “I have people at Ozzfest going, 'Man, if it wasn't for Sabbath... we owe you so much.' I go, 'What part of this is influenced by Sabbath?' I get where they're coming from but it's not the music, it's what it says to the people. “Metal has never had any rules. If you want me to do something, tell me not to. I've never played by any rules. My sole concern is to get on that stage and give the audience a great day out. I want to give my heart and soul when I play, and that's God's honest truth.” Ozzy recently released his retrospective set Memoirs Of A Madman – after revealing that Sabbath are gearing up to record their final album next year. http://classicrock.teamrock.com/news...d-is-dying-art |

There are still guys out there that get it, but you really gotta dig to find them these days... the music business now is completely uninterested in finding and promoting the next great rock band.

Find an indie band you like then find similar music on Spotify. It's never been easier to find music you like. There's lots of good stuff out there. They won't sell out arenas, but they'll sell out decent sized venues. I'll give you a few to start with... The Hold Steady, My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Wilco. I've been to all of their shows and they can jam, and the do it in front of really big crowds.

They're rock, just not exactly what I'm thinking of... and arent Wilco and Jacket signed to major labels, I'm honestly not sure? Beyond that, what I'm more talking about is what Rabble mentions... that the industry, the big time, arent even trying to find that next GNR or God forbid Ramones etc... all they want now is the next Cyrus, Maroon 5, Pink etc. Bubblegum BS. |

Muse sold out a little bit, and Kings of Leon and the Black Keys' new stuff doesn't rock like their old stuff used to. But they are selling out huge arenas. So is the Arcade Fire. I don't know how metal is doing because I don't listen to it. But there's plenty of edgier indie rock that are selling out decent sized venues and could pass for a previous generation of music. It's basically saying we're not going to sell to the large corporation, but there's a booming industry in mid-sized businesses that are doing really well for themselves. |

Partially because the rock labels are not looking for anything new. They like the same type bands with the same type lyrics. There's tons I bands out there that are better than the crap they play on the radio that most will never know about because the labels aren't telling them to play those artists.

I'd rather have a porcupine climb into my ass and spontaneously combust than read another Deberg thread.
