ok so here is a question. As metal and hard rock icons are aging we will soon lose Ozzy and the rest of Sabbath, Maiden isn't getting any younger, Motorhead (Lemmy), Priest, Cooper who will carry the torch when these guys are gone? I can see Godsmack being around for a while, Disturbed, AX7 and Amon Amarth but who else has the kind of charisma and talent that can carry them to that higher level?

good question ~ the days of the torch carriers is dieing out, we were lucky to stand in their wake. i would add metallica to your list. but, the album has pretty much burnt out to downloads. the scene is saturated with so many bands and flavors, death, thrash, black, industrial, etc., who often have a handful of hardcore fans, but nothing like the past, where stadiums could be packed. sad. but, i suppose it's good in the sense as it's allowed so many more artists onto the scene.
as for the torch carriers, i hope there will be some, but i think the days of the legends is growing dim. JMHO. and sweetest, where have you been?? welcome back!!

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth will all be around for a while yet but they are all now in their mid/late 40's and soon 50's then 60's and that's where things start going to hell.

Everything goes in cycles, typically 20-25 years. That means metal may make a resurgence in the near future. The form may not be the same as we know it, but these trends are also how new music evolves.
Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica, musically, were two of the more influential artists that came out of the '80s. There were others, of course, but I've heard their influence amongst so many harder rocking bands throughout the past 20 years. Given music cycles, we are due to hear an impact from bands influenced by Guns N Roses too, although I see that trending more towards the power ballads of GNR's later years. The reason, as far as I can tell, for the 20 year cycle is that teens and early 20s often seek a connection to their parents by exploring the music and history that their parents grew up with. Knowing my experience, I can't deny it. My mother, sister, and I exchanged a lot of music together, mostly to connect with my mother. For my father, I got into military history and Japanese culture, mainly because my father served in the Army stationed in Japan after WWII and before Vietnam. As long as the trend continues, the music industry will seek to capitalize on it. So, I'm betting on a resurgence of late 80s metal and early 90s grunge within the next few years. |

I can see Godsmack being around for a while, Disturbed, AX7 and Amon Amarth but who else has the kind of charisma and talent that can carry them to that higher level? I don't know if we'll ever get anyone to carry the torch for the metal gods. They were in the right place at the right time. As a commercial entity, Metal doesn't really have that type of support anymore. It's very rare anymore that you hear metal on the radio or get airplay on cable. But there are a few bands/artists that have the potential. Whether or not they will be able to get the recognition and airplay to be truly successful is questionable. Hip-hop, the various boy bands, and female freak bands have the collective record companies' attention these days and that's what gets force-fed to the masses on the radio, in the newspapers and magazines, on TV, in commercials. If a metal band is playing at a large arena, you hardly see any advertisements for it. If it's the boy band or hip hop 'artist' it's everywhere. Ads on TV for the show. Billboards. Magazine ads. Radio announcements and contests every 20 minutes. At least that's the way it seems around here. |
