Tomo! How do you feel about the perception that Rock and Roll is dying? I completely and totally agree with that. It’s pathetic. There’s no attitude. There’s no danger. There’s no edginess. I mean, I grew up listening to bands like Pantera and Guns and Roses. Even The Cure has more edge than most bands today. There’s no sexiness. When I see these new bands, I don’t feel that thing that I used to feel. And, it’s not because I’m a jaded musician. Because, I still get in the pit at my favorite bands shows. Ok? So, it’s not like some jaded L.A. thing. It’s just that a lot of these new younger bands, especially the shoe-gazing indie rockers, it makes me sick. It’s like, come on man. Grow some balls. This is rock.
Put on a show, right? Yeah. Put on a show. That’s why I love Avenged Sevenfold, so much. They put on a show. They know exactly what they’re doing. It’s not like some kind of fluke that they did the rock thing, you know? And they do it so well. They wrote good songs. They have a whole edgy rock look…and show. I love it. And, kids love it. They respond and it’s obvious that they want that, you know?
