Let's face it... we all want our favorite rock stars to live (and tour) forever.  It's like if they are still out there, then we are still young and all is right with the world.

Ok... so if I told you that one of the biggest rock bands in the world was taking ELEVEN YEARS to produce their next album what would you think? 
Would you think "WOW... eleven years... I bet it's gonna be amazing!"
or...
Would you think..."Um... yeah... Imma going to listen to some other bands and if your band is still relevant in eleven years ... I might check it out."
On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus Podcast we will tell you the story behind Guns & Roses' sixth and most controversial album Chinese Democracy and answer the question... "Was it worth the wait?"
Topics Discussed:
Line up changes firing, re-hiring everyone
Concept
Production
All start Guitar line up
Tracks:
Chinese Democracy
Shacklers Revenge
Better
Street of Dreams ...ballad... not the Rainbow song. beautiful chord changes
If the World... seal goes rock
There was a time... drum loops... then kicks in to heavy rock... then back and forth
Catcher in the Rye... beatle-esque chord changes
Scraped... great groove... throw back to Appetite songwriting... great vocal harmonies... ala Extreme or even Queen
Riad N' the Bedouins... frenetic riffing in the "a" section giving way to powerful half time melodic "b" section
Sorry... ballad... axl singing in lower register,  12/8 time... slow and heavy riff kicks in in the chorus... old Bad Company vibe
I.R.S.  start with rnb drum loop groove... builds until bass gtr kicks in and becomes more traditional gnr... but touches on modern pop and rnb through out...dynamic arrangement
Madagascar

The first 22 years of the twenty-first century have seen a major decline in the presence of rock bands and artists gracing the pop charts. This has led a lot of people to utter the statement; "rock is dead".
But is it?  If it isn't where did it go? Where is all the great guitar-driven music that used to populate the charts and mainstream/corporate radio?
On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus, Independence Day edition, we will do a deep dive into the state of rock in the third decade of the twenty-first century and answer the questions where is rock? Why did it disapear (for the most part ) from pop radio? Can it ever come back?
Check out the podcast here  https://app.talkshoe.com/episode/19947844
Topics Discussed:
The day the music died (not the first time rock has "died")
The perfect storm that allowed rock to flourish
music business and audio technology business... are the same business i.e. RCA
Follow the leader..rock so called "Changing tastes"  grunge  rap & hip hop
 MTV stops playing music videos
Enter "big tech"
 high speed internet
 mp3
 "piracy ruined my band"
 massive revenue  dries up
 the labels are too short sighted...or are they???
 the wild west and the "democratization" of the music business

Socio-political changes
 the Berlin wall
 911
corporate consolidation
 
Music becomes cheap and easy

no danger

massive increase in concert ticket prices

the smart phone ...the giant step backwards

rock goes underground and it's EVERYWHERE!

what can we do to help rock survive and thrive

should we just let it go?
