Well, with Journey and Arnel, chances are you're also going to get a twang.

Seriously though, you echoed my thoughts of country music exactly. Country music is more vulgar and dirty than what rock music could ever be. Rock albums get an "explicit content" label for when they contain questionable subject matter, so why does country get a free pass when all they sing about is adultery, drinking, sex and violence?Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 5:43 amNo Surprize wrote:You couldn't pay ME enough to go to any country music show.

Better open your eyes to what is really happening in Country Music. If you correlate country music to rednecks, there must be a hell of a lot of rednecks out there. Second, if you correlate the two...you are wrong. The old renegade country (Waylon Jennings, Hank Jr., etc) has long since been replaced by the mainstream acts that attract the fanbase the AOR acts did back in the day.
Do you seriously want to compare C&W lyrics to those in rap or heavy metal?
And I'm not a C&W fan.

True.. because they couldn't hack it, or didn't want to... and that is their choice.
If yer an 80's vet.. and your scene is no longer economically viable, and you now aren't a single 20-something, but are instead a 40-something family man... and you want to continue working in the field you love, music... you go where the work is, or you get a regular job.
It IS after the music business..

True it is business. Most of the bands I like are still doing pretty well for themselves with touring and music. And most of them write their own
music, all by their little bitty self with no outside help.
