In a brand new interview with Mike McMahan of San Antonio Present, ARCH ENEMY singer Alissa White-Gluz spoke about whether or not there shall be one other wave of steel bands who’re capable of ascend to an arena-level standing to take the place of METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST upon their retirement. She mentioned: “I used to be simply speaking about that yesterday, as a result of I used to be with Nergal [BEHEMOTH frontman] and Michael [Amott, ARCH ENEMY guitarist] on the [Southern California stop of] ‘The Bay Strikes Again’ tour, which is TESTAMENT, EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL. We had been speaking about it, and there is a little little bit of concern, really, for what will step in as improbable music. Even in the event you go a bit bit past steel, AEROSMITH, as an example. As soon as these bands should cease for no matter motive, ARCH ENEMY is true there ready to step in. [Laughs] However there’s a little little bit of concern on my finish. To not say that trendy music is not improbable, as a result of it’s. It is extra that the consumption of music is much less centered on the standard of the songwriting and the musicianship and the lyrics, and it is a bit bit extra centered on the virality of the music and made for a really quick consideration span. And that is not the fault of musicians. That is simply the way in which world is. So, I am a bit involved about possibly not having actually wonderful music in — as an example — 50 years.”
She continued: “I am a bit frightened that the period of bands may really come to a detailed, as a result of even the period of touring bands isn’t very previous. When you learn the Keith Richards biography, he talks about THE ROLLING STONES being one of many first touring bands, and I’d hate to see that go away. I hope that there shall be a renewed enthusiasm for stay steel music. Once I was watching the viewers in that sold-out Home Of Blues Anaheim present with ‘The Bay Strikes Again’, I used to be seeing everybody within the viewers simply loving it and having this religious second within the crowd whereas EXODUS was taking part in.
“I do not wish to go to a dance membership; I do not wish to go to a bar; I wish to go to a present,” Alissa added. “There is a good chunk of actually established steel bands which were going for 20 or 25 years, and we have constructed up a extremely nice efficiency and a extremely nice set. I perceive if SLAYER cannot do it anymore, however there’s undoubtedly some concern that we’ll have a second the place the masters are not there.”
A yr in the past, FOZZY singer and wrestling famous person Chris Jericho additionally expressed his concern about newer artists having the ability to headline arenas and festivals sooner or later. He instructed YouTuber and music trade skilled Rick Beato: “It is form of scary. I used to be speaking to Gene Simmons about this. I’m going to the Rock And Roll Corridor Of Fame yearly, and N.W.A. was on, and [they said], ‘Everybody says that rap is useless,’ or we are saying ‘Rock is useless,’ or no matter. And Gene mentioned, ‘Each kind of music ultimately dies.’ And I used to be, like, ‘What do you imply?’ He is, like, ‘Have a look at swing music and polka music and guys taking part in lutes by the fireplace. All of it form of slowly goes away.’ And I am beginning to surprise, was he proper about rock and roll? As a result of once I was a child, everyone was a in band. I bear in mind jocks, I bear in mind guys who had been on the soccer crew that purchased a guitar and would come jam. In the meantime, all of the rockers, there was 4 or 5 bands in my highschool alone. Now my son is 17, my twin daughters are 14. I do not know any of them who play music, or any of their pals.
“So the scary factor’s this. I used to be speaking to [U.K. concert promoter] Andy Copping on [my podcast] ‘Discuss Is Jericho’ when Obtain bought canceled in 2020, which is the largest competition in England — 100 thousand folks. And I mentioned to Andy, ‘Who’s going to be headlining Obtain in 10 years?’ ‘Trigger now you’ll be able to nonetheless depend on METALLICA and AC/DC and IRON MAIDEN and SYSTEM OF A DOWN reunited or FAITH NO MORE or these kinds of bands. AVENGED SEVENFOLD are constructing and SLIPKNOT. However who’s the following technology of thise bands? As a result of excluding a GRETA VAN FLEET and THE STRUTS and a few others, there’s not quite a lot of new rock and roll bands. Whereas earlier than, there’d be 40 or 50 and also you could not sustain with all of them.”
