I'm back ... Still feeling alive and kicking ...


Hi fellas !!
I know I've been absent for a long time but, for your disappointement and dispair, I was working ...
But the important part is that I'm back and ready to talk
about music ...
More specificly about rock'n'roll music ... Is it me or we don't see any good bands lately ?
Not that I'm complaining about all the genres that are emerging from mixtures of cultures ...
For instance, latin people love to mix elements of percussion into rock, turning it into a more dynamic rock as Carlos Santana, Soda Stereo and Charly Garcia do to thier compositions ...
But if you look in the other side of the spectrum, you'll see bands who prefer to turn their heads into classical streams as Evanescence or Lacuna Coil ... (Beware guys !! If you do it wrongly, you'll listen to endless hours of musical masturbation as in some orchestral versions of rock songs) ...
But, getting back to my first initial discussion, criativity in music is fading or some beaten old fomulas are repeating themselves ... OK, I'll grant that The Strokes and The Vines are new good bands ... But where are all the other bands that used to surprise us with some new great sound or element in their music ?
Post me and give me the honor of searching and listen to new good stuff ...
Maybe it's just a dispointment of mine but I need to believe that music is recuparating some of its magic and charm towards us ...
Bye ... Missed ya, folks ... Remember, always have fun and enjoy the ride ....
