Elysium 7 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) She could pass for a rock star, but I think you are generalizing rock and metal fans. I said "some" rock fans. I am a rock fan and I don't say such things. And lol at people saying rock is dead. Not because pop acts sell more albums, it means rock isn't popular. I may remind you that U2 recently finished the highest grossing tour ever made? In Europe, most pop acts can't sell out stadiums, most rock acts, whether they're worldwide known or not, can. For example, while Madonna didn't sell out Madrid's stadium she performed in, Muse, a rock band that isn't known by everybody, sold it out without any problem.

Samuel 3 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't mind Rock elements... DITD, Electric Chapel, TEOG have certain rock based characteristics... but collectively rock ins't her thing... :coffee: Edited April 1, 2012 by BloodyMonster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Mess 1,393 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Gather around, children. You see, rock is immortal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2bUwcWEGwY&feature=youtube_gdata_player If no one makes successful rock music nowadays, it's dead. :nails: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elysium 7 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yes. I can see Gaga transitioning into rock music and having elements of rock/heavy metal whilst still in the pop genre. If she created music like PJ Harvey I would die from the happiness. :cry: I couldn't see Gaga going rock as such, but I can see her mixing piano rock (like Elton John) with dance performances during her tours. Being piano set more important that the dancing part If no one makes successful rock music nowadays, it's dead. I think you forget the part that nowadays, touring success is way more important that selling records :coffee: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but U2 survives from it's past success (which I recognise that was HUGE), while there aren't any currently successful rock singles nowadays.

Shadow 6,039 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Rock is a lifestyle, not a fad like pop music tends to be. We'll be rocking out when pop fans will be seeking the next, new thing or "what's fresh." Good music shouldn't need reinvention if it is done right.

Leaf 2,428 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Dying at anyone who thinks rock/heavy metal music is dead. Rock/heavy metal is Gaga's thang. 'Radio Ga Ga'. Edited April 1, 2012 by Leaf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interludicrous 15 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Rock is dead. Pop is in. Deal wit it gurl. :nacho: I say no to metal. But RockGa >>> PopGa. And if I remember correctly, electronic pop/dance music was also dead 3-4 years ago. Now that it's back, Gaga should move on to the next genre. And Gaga has the power to bring back rock. Real, modern rock. And she should. And you will deal. Rock is in her blood. Edited April 1, 2012 by Interludicrous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob 5 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) She's pretty accepted Rock/heavy metal music is not. I think it would only make her less accepted by the general public, if they'd know about her at all. Edited April 1, 2012 by Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being piano set more important that the dancing part I think you forget the part that nowadays, touring success is way more important that selling records I know, but what makes cultural impact is the singles, and people are no longer influenced by rock songs, except for the old ones. Rock, as a genre, has little musical production nowadays, whilst there are thousands of dance and pop songs being sent to the market on a daily basis.

Rock, as everything in life, needs reinvention. And I think that some rock bands are trying to reinvent it, succeding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
