No good artist or band has emerged since Nirvana (and no, that was grunge)...
Metal doesnt exist anymore, the few survivors like MAIDEN or MEGADETH or even hair metal like AEROSMITH and BON JOVI dont seem to captivate the younger audiences
While imbecils listen to Linkin park and dub it metal...
There IS no more Metal now a days, it's a sad era for the people that loved to go to a show and head bang and sing about sex, drugs and rock N Roll
Metal died and was buried the day that Seattle kid sung "smells like teen spirit"
