Maroon 5, Black Keys, Snow Patrol or whatever other stuff is going on now... that's just not gonna cut it forever, at some point people are gonna wanna ROCK again..

I wouldn't lump Black Keys in there with Maroon 5 and Snow Patrol. Some good heavy guitar rock is out there…just not necessarily 80s style metal. Black Keys, The Heavy, anything that Jack White is a part of, Black Motorcycle Club, etc.

There are remnants of the 80's metal SOUND everywhere. The problem is that, as the 80's came to a close, the "sound" became power ballads and the "music" became music videos of guys with girl hair.

80's commercial metal survives to this day in a great many bands that it influenced to varying degrees. Even some of these stoner bands were influenced by it (even if they won't admit it).
