The irony is that rock is back where it started... as an underground style of music.
Hopefully that means soon it will rise to the top again

@Ron P As far i can remember rock died in 2006 or 2007
@@DragonboltBlastter for me rock music died in 2012
Ron P rock music and all its sub genres are pretty active still. Just have to go and find it.
I'm uncomfortable with Marty holding a guitar the whole time, but never playing it

There are so many videos like that

Rock won’t die, we just missed the glory days
It will never die
It already died, now everything is EDM
They'll pass you by.
It's not dead. It's just pinin'. Pinin' for the fiords.
I always say, Love it, or leave it. Playing shows, or touring dive's is romantic enough. Don't play for fame. Just look what happened to King's of Leon! The old Chess player's merely played for electricity, why can't we? I don't even like cover charges. A cut of the bar sales is usually more than enough. Just never pay to play.
Rock fan's aren't giving these new rock band's a chance that's why the industry doesn't focus on Rock anymore
I agree. The internet has caused collective thought so if someone sees some guy online say a band is terrible, they start to agree when they might have thought differently if they hadn't seen it. Thats why I cant stand music reviewers like anthony fantano because people treat his opinions like facts without thinking about the music for themselves.
Because a lot of rock bands...are just not worth it anymore...
They are just boring, and bland...with their instrumentals, and vocalists...
@@GNVS300 Imagine Dragons suck.
@@gainsflemming1026 definitely agree that Fantano has a lot of influence and most people form their opinions strictly based on his, but please don't pretend like he hates rock music. He gave the band Swans and Daughters a 10, and hell, Death Grips has a lot of rock elements in their music as well. He also loves the band King Gizzard, Ghost and Car seat headrest. And if you take a closer look, you'll see that his die-hard fans love those same bands just because of him, and most of those fans don't even like rock in the first place. So I'd say that Fantano does a better job at promoting rock than the mainstream media.
What’s happened is that everyone is becoming so nostalgic of the same damn bands. Metallica, Slayer Nirvana, Motley Crue I mean come on now can you imagine 70 years from now talking about the same bands no it has to evolve and it just stopped. Rock music has just turned into some sort of “music history and museum” sort of thing. My opinion
I saw Skynyrd and Black Berry Smoke last year. Both shows were packed. Rock is alive. Radio is dead. They only play trash.
Seeing BBS live is a must! Best band I've ever seen.
They said that back in the 60s when rock thrived like pop does these days
Radio is definitely ran by retards..
The last time I turned on the radio, I found myself looking for an ice pick, to poke out my eardrums!😵

Let’s start a rock revolution!
On it.
VIVA LA PUNK REVOLUTION

You say you want a revolution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world.
Rock isn't dead, rock as we know it is dead, frankly most genres are dead in terms of creativity, hip hop and pop are ridiculously saturated. i think a new type of rock will one day emerge
Seems like it's bound to happen in the next 3-5 years indeed. Something tells me after this pandemic, real musicians will come out to bring the magic in music.
@@goknighthawksgo I hope so
Not really. I know for a fact here in Brazil pop culture is more alive than ever. And thats after we had some great rock bands in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
The rock scene in England is great, new music coming out all the time and doing quite well, we've got royal blood and nothing but thieves all brought their first records out in 2014 and 2015 and have over 3 mil monthly on spotify each.
Rock music isn't dead at all. There's a revival on the way, we're just keeping the scene alive underground right now.

Rock music is too white for today's standards, lol. That's why there's no one making rock music anymore.
What has happened is that while rock is alive in the sense of still being made, and having fans, it is no longer the cultural mainstream. It has joined jazz in that regard.
Rock music will never die as long as people keep playing REAL INSTRUMENT
@@cornstar1253 what are you talking about sir ?
Nice
I think you are confusing instrument players to music producers or composers. Anybody can play an instrument or two but can anybody form those instruments into a sound that captivates their target audience.... No. I can learn to play the guitar and piano at the same time and it wont make me anymore valuable than a rapper if I dont have it in me to create something better than that rapper can with his voice and a simple beat.
@@Qfinesse21 i said yes
I’m no music expert but I feel like that’s where the passion comes from with music it’s the fact that your creating the music with your own to hand not on a screen ( if you play and instrument)
Rock isn’t dead, it just smells funny
Im going to bring the blues back
Frankie Davis the Blues never left! Check out Jo Bonamassa, Cedric Burnside, Samantha Fish, North Mississippi Allstars, etc etc etc........😎🤘🎸👍
Frankie Davis that's a large feat for one man
Come to London. There's so many blues bars people have started publishing guides. londonist.com/london/best-of-london/london-s-best-blues-bars
Same man! We're in this together.
Hell Yeah LOL
I'm 14 and I just started a rock band in a backroom, anyone can bring rock back you just need the drive like the band's used to have back then I mean thats the whole reason I decided to start playing, anyone can start a band if you find the right group thats willing, rock will never die you just need the right people to bring it back!
Keep it close to your heart, son.
Musical instrument stores in my city that have been there for over 40 years have closed and the last big store is not doing well. Marty is right on the tech front but rock is sleeping a deep sleep and may never wake. Even Gibson was filing for bankruptcy in 2017.
Probably due to competition from online retailers like Thomann with more stuff, more stock and lower prices. It's a sad fact, but taking a look at the amps on online store of one of the main music stores in my city, I see a €500 (25%) price difference between the listing on it's website and the one on Thomann (which isn't even de-marked as being on sale or a discount or anything). With free shipping too. You can't really compete with that. Also, Rappers, electronic artists etc. are still dependant on equipment that if not found online would only be available in such music stores.
Gibson didn't go bankrupt because of falling guitar sales. They went bankrupt because..they suck lol. Rather ironically, they were afraid of that very prospect, of people not wanting to buy guitars, so decided to put their money into trying to "innovate" their instruments, with shitty computerised tuning systems and branching out by buying out a consumer electronics company. And they failed.
Fender on the other hand have been doing well by listening to their customers and a lot of their success has been due to an increased number of female buyers, as a result of more gender inclusive marketing.
Rock is just taking a nap from all the partying.

80s hair metal was rock! That's what I miss.
Glam metal was an amazing subgenre in that time bruh.
those days were insane
Grunge killed it and for a reason.
You’ve got a giant crowd in rock that really hates that hair metal mostly for its philosophical aspects over its compositional. But god damn do I love the stuff too
Bring rock back!
No more soy boy pop bands!
I will never stop playing guitar no matter what!
I was raised on rock n roll, and love the genre to death. But the truth to this matter is also that music changes with each new generation. Every generation looks to find their own sound, something that resonates to them in their time. While the greats (across all genres)are still appreciated by many, eventually it is inevitable that one day they will take the backseat to a new movement.
Heres a little something else to chew on. (just one mans opinion, take it how you want)
Rock has been around for more than half a century. It has been done in many shapes and forms, so lets face it how much more can you get from guitars, bass, drums, loud vocal all combined? So much has been done in the rock format that it is getting ever more difficult to find something new that will be big. Also too many die hard rock fans are sticking to the cliche hits of the past and not seeking new talent within the genre. Too many rock fans I am finding are sticking to what is already well established and not even giving any new growth in this genre a chance.
Give Japan a try. They will show you rock is not dead and it's beautiful. BANDMAID is one of many that puts American rock to shame.
Unfortunately, the present players don’t study roots music or read literature or poetry. From Dylan and the original bands from England, they studied the great old players. Dylan is a musicologists. Robert Plant talks about the old players from 70 - 100 years ago. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards studied their idols. Bands today don’t have that foundation. Paul McCartney has an extensive knowledge of music. John Lennon was an art student. They were all exposed to great culture and it affected their work. Without such an education, you will never create great work.
Led Zeppelin reinterpreted blues, The Rolling Stones redid the blues and Chuck Berry; the Beatles took from Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Motown, Chuck Berry; Dylan was Woody Guthrie, Odetta, and every roots player. They absorbed from the greatest and then created something new.
Gary Book that’s definitely not true.... Musicians today know music of the past too. In fact, I’d argue they know more as they can get their hands easily on pretty much any record they want (a luxury the artists you named didn’t have). Where is your assumption coming from that we don’t study music?
Today, we have unlimited access to almost everything. In the past, people would go into their parents record collection or study what came before. In the bio on Dylan they describe his going into his friend’s record collections. Also people read books and studied. I love technology, but I think people today are on it most of the time and don’t read newspapers and literature. The British grow up with Shakespeare, so I am not surprised so many Great British actors come out of the small island. Pete Townsend said, there were fewer outlets so back then you only got the best. But in TV and streaming media, you have so many outlets, and the content has never been better. I just know, the artist that came out of the 60’ies were all studied in roots music and what came before. Maybe rock music has exhausted its form, the creativity and energy today seems to be in hip hop and rap music, although there is interesting indie music. It is just a fun debate.
I didn’t say people don’t study music today. The major successful bands from the past all immersed themselves in roots music and what came before them. They internalize it and it deeply effected their work.
From your argument, you're saying it from the perspective of the sentiments for those certain artform. But you also forgetting about the economy knowledge, and communication sides of it. You see, they were big because people see them as a breath of fresh air. It's a music that were rebellious at that time, they go crazy on stage, they went on live tv, and they got publicity. Those bands got big by the help of record labels that groom them from heads to toes. Because they were "viral", they shaped the culture of their generation's youth. It's a win-win-win situation for record labels, bands, and the audiences. Right now, acts that represent those things are pop (including any genres that is popular right now, you know). I remember some motivator saying "If you want to be well-known or successful, do something different." What should a rock band and rock label do to achieve those communication, and economy ideals and be successful. Whether it's the relatability, edgyness, revolutionary, bussiness, etc, they need to do something different, and sometimes, need to somehow be able to compromise. But now, they just live on their little niche world.
Yeah, but The Beatles did not have any knowledge to read or write music though
Marty: "Tech killed music"

Let's do it

Dibs cowbell
Allen Dawson I don’t have a garage. Anyone got a good place to play?
i think we're all guitarists though
You're very honest Marty, every genre has its peak, Rock is no exception. It's as simple as that
Rock isn't dead. Bands like Green Day, Metallica, A7X and Foo Fighters are still rocking and keeping Rock alive.
Yanki Green I seen Metallica just last weekend and they killed it, over the top. Going to see the Foo’s soon and I know they won’t disappoint. Dave Grohl has played a tremendous roll in Rock music. It would be nice to see another Rock band come along out of nowhere with their own unique sound and gain the success Nirvana did in the early 90’s. Rock needs a good kick in the ass right now, I’m sure it will get that soon. Long live Rock N’ Roll.
Long live Rock and Roll 🤘🤘
All old fogeys
The Who and The Rolling Stones and AC/DC are still touring meaning Rock is not dead
Yanki Green You need new bands. These bands are awesome but they are not gonna be around forever touring

Every time he ends a sentence, the camera zooms out.
Rock just evolved into metal. There can only be so many songs tuned to E standard with a pentatonic lick made and all the good ones have been done already. In my opinion metal music is at an all time high right now. Im discovering new bands all the time.
I think it's a good thing that rock has left the mainstream. Sure, you have to look a little harder to find the really good bands, but the upside is we don't have corporations controlling their every move and what they can and cannot record for an album. Plus we don't have radio stations and Mtv constantly playing the same songs over and over again and trying to shove mediocre bands down our throats.
Corporations as in the record industry is dead. Nobody buys records, CD's, Downloads anymore. The only way to make money in music now is do it yourself and tour tickets and merchandise.
I saw Biffy Clyro about a year and a half, and they kicked ass, and I am an old guy who remembers seeing the Stones, the Who and Queen in the seventies. Today you gotta look around and see whats out there.
Not a single chord was hurt in the making of this video
@@GNVS300 nope
''It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze anywaze. It's still rock and roll to me.''

Rock and roll will never die it just came out of the mainstream for awhile. IT WILL BE BACK!
Am i the only fan here of "don't hug me I'm scared" 1:17
Rock isn’t dead its just not popularized and thank god bc if one type of music was always the most popular it wouldn’t push the music world forward. Also theres great rock bands out there today you just have to look a bit harder - hozier/kings of leon/black keys/ highly suspect are pretty good efforts in my opinion.
There's that awesome feeling making music with instruments and people.
i love rock , it will never die for me!...

Dang Marty, I just finished a rock project for school, and this would have been so helpful a couple days ago, but awesome video keep up the good work.
Rock ‘n’ roll ain’t noise pollution, rock ‘n’ roll ain’t gonna die!
There definitely is a demand for rock n roll though. Gretta Van Fleet's Led Zeppelin-esque sound is proof people want rock n roll more than ever. Additionally I'm okay if they sound like Led Zeppelin because it will turn younger generations on to rock n roll. Like AC/DC said, rock n roll ain't noise pollution, rock n roll ain't gonna die!
And ACDC are never wrong
Greta Van Fleet is a boysband cosplaying Led Zeppelin. Check out Screamer, Hypnos or Honeymoon Disease from Sweden if you want 70s inspired hardrock with balls. Forget about what the corporate labels are trying to feed you. The real gems are in the underground.
Younger people should just check out live Zeppelin on UA-cam channels like Led Zeppelin Rarities. The live stuff is the gold!!
Wasn't Metallica one of the top 10 most selling live groups of any genre last year? Rock is still hugely popular, it's just that big name (i.e. old) bands are what grab most people's attention.

Bye, bye, Ms. American Pie
First of all Marty, I completely agree with you and I am happy that you did this video. I am a 69-year-old guitarist having played guitar since I was 15 and I have had the pleasure of seeing many of the great arts live starting with the Beatles.
One of the interesting things that I see is how much some of the new country sounds like the old classic rock. I would be interested to hear your or anyone else’s thoughts on that.
Always a blast listening to your music and also listening to what you have to say about music.
You know that Rock is dying when Guitar companies struggles to sell guitars.
No genre can possibly last forever. Remember the Big Band era of the 1930's? What about Tin Pan Alley? Skiffle? Yeah, me neither. These genres ebb and flow and seem to be attached to very specific generations and as soon as that generation is gone, the music they listened to will become thought of the same way we think of nostalgia culture. Rock will never die. It will just become like an antique in your grandmother's house. We evolve. So will music. Like, forever. Great video!
Rock N Roll Will Never Die. As long as there is 1 person who listens to rock music it will never die.
"That rock 'n'roll, eh? That rock'n'roll, it just won't go away. It might hibernate from time to time, and sink back into the swamp. I think the cyclical nature of the universe in which it exists demands it adheres to some of its rules. But it's always waiting there, just around the corner. Ready to make its way back through the sludge and smash through the glass ceiling, looking better than ever. Yeah, that rock'n'roll, it seems like it's faded away sometimes, but it will never die. And there's nothing you can do about it"
read that in alex turners voice from the very first sentence lol
Not dead, just in a different form.
Check out Valley Of The Sun. Cincinnatti rock band. They are keeping it alive.

Rock and trap music will become a genre of itself, it already has. The future of music is the basically the death of acoustic drums. Rock will be influenced by rap vice versa. Rap style flows with singing on a trap beat with electric guitar. Thats the new wave of music. But most importantly music genres are become more diverse creating genreless music. This isn’t the death of rock its ultimately the death of genre
can u give me an example
Good points . Rock has many moods and layers and in my opinion a greater space to grow than any other genre . Proof of that are the many labels it has already . soft , pop . hard , alternate , classic and the list will go on .
Sub-genres killed rock, rock is now chilling in a thousand different sub-genres
Sticks and Beers Podcast interesting take
Exactly my guy
Love the ADD editing
Rock is where it needs to be, not in the mainstream.
I can't think of an occasion when saying that a particular type of music was dead actually made it go away. I remember when CD's supposedly killed off vinyl for good, and when synthesizers supposedly replaced electric guitars permanently. As soon as people get to where they haven't heard a particular type of music in a long time, it comes back. When loud distorted electric guitar based music "returns", it will have reinvented itself in some way or other. First it will have to re-establish itself as outsider music.
Rock is dead, they say ... LONG LIVE ROCK!

Don't forget about Whiskey Myers!
Great commentary. Back in the eighties when I worked for an entertainment agency, I would find rock bands to play local gigs by walking through the streets of my city's suburbs on a Fri.or Sat. night and listen to a multitude of garage bands who were either rehearsing or playing house parties. I walk these same streets today and sadly hear no live music and can only think of the teenagers inside playing their video games, streaming Netflix or absorbed in social media. It's just a sign of the times and hopefully as you said something good will come out of this. Rock n roll is all about attitude and expression, there need not be any formula or need to repeat the past, our only hope is that today's generation and the next will find a way to carry it forward.
TRUE AUTHENTIC ROCK DOES NOT BELONG ON THE BILLBOARDS OR MAINSTREAM. Rock is not dead nor has it ever been. All that's happen is that it's moved more to the underground than ever before, which is exactly where the genre should be. The people who say and believe that "rock is dead" are the people who do nothing but listen to the radio and hear modern radio pop and think that's all the music in the world, without making ANY effort to actually look for new rock bands that aren't mainstream by doing an inkling of basic research.
Some of my favorite newer bands/musicians I recommend: Beach Fossils, Wild Nothing, (Sandy) Alex G, Turnover, Chastity Belt, Gouge Away, Bleached, Times New Viking, Surf Curse, Current Joys, Turnstile, Exit Order, Fog Lake, Sales, Nothing,
P.S. Nice inclusion of Angel Dust at 3:06, one of my favorite current rock/punk bands.
Amazing video and honestly a beautiful beautiful take! This really really was one of the best explained break downs of how something that might look a certain way, may truly not be like that at all. Marty you taught me how to play guitar at 15 years old I’m 24 now, I owe you so much.

@@travosk8668 There is a genre called pop and then there's something being pop(ular), They are two different things
@@travosk8668 you took the words out of my mouth.
To those who don't know:
The idea of rock didn't quite surface until the 70s. During the 60s bands like the Beatles were just called pop bands. The Who described there style as power pop, a pop band with a little bit more of an aggressive style.
The idea of pop didn't quite change until disco came around.

The problem is the major music labels are telling us what musicians to support, as opposed to letting competition of talent let the people decide what is good music, because of the merging of radio stations controlled by monopolies caused by Bill Clinton's passing of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. Also we do not have a centralized place for everyone to watch together like the old 24 music video channel MTV to introduce new music artists. There are a lot of talented music artists not getting enough promotion.
This is definitely a more optimistic take I've heard on the current state of rock.
I'm liking this new genre of videos you're doing
All I have to say is check out Highly Suspect and you might think otherwise about rock being dead. It's coming back big just nobody knows it yet.

What about all the rock influences in other genres nowadays like Mainstream Country?! To expand on Marty's point, Rock is influencing country today the way jazz influenced Rock in the 50's and 60's
Marty I learned guitar from your channel just so I could play in a band!!! Its not dead!! PUNK ROCK FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock is like jazz it's not mainstream but they still have their listeners
Yes, It is still popular but not mainstream. Also, it changed af
The Rock is dead?
damn....
But the Roll lives on!
The thing is that there are no great songs being produced by rock bands these days, and it doesn't help that there aren't as many bands as there used to be.
Younger people also won't pick up instruments like they used to, mainly because of technology.
Some young people still do. I'm learning the drums and guitar (thats why I watch Marty). I'm learning at school also with a lot of other kids
I picked up the guitar, started singing, and now I'm in a school band, but the number of people who do that has drastically decreased, sadly enough
"Its never gonna die, never gonna die!"
Mcr?
I have noticed that many bands don't have much a blues root like the bands I got into as a kid bands like Zep, Free , etc All those great bands were influenced by the Blues it gave them a definitive sound to latch onto which in turn they experimented with there are very few bands who do that well nowadays
Rock died the night Greta Van Zeppelin won a grammy.That shows you how incredibly weak the genre is right now.
I like greta
😂
The Grammy Awards are for major labels. That's how come Jack Black could win for best metal performance and why Greta won.
@@_jimmythesaint I think that was Marty's point. The point I am making is Rock does not exist when a garage band using Daddy's money gets a grammy for "Best Rock Album". Greta is an overhyped noisemaker that is not keeping the genre alive merely hastening its demise. I for one refuse to lower the bar.
Who gives a shit about awards shows?
Genres don’t usually “die” completely, they just go underground and sometimes VERY underground. Polka is not dead, people still play it, but it’s very very underground. Rock has lasted quite a while but it has reached a point of no return, from here on out it will just get more and more underground.
It's worse for me being from New Orleans . Metal bands seem like the special needs children of Rock and Roll. It's got to rock and it's got to roll too. Get back to the roots.
Even in the "Classic Rock Era" the big money was, Top40, Chart100, Pop, Disco/Urban Dance, R&B, etc.
Twaznt the pvt jet ROCK GODS that made bank.
Well we still have greta van fleet
Rock & Roll never _dies;_ it just can never find the perfect way to _live._
Rock involves guitars, bass, drums, and/or vocals, all these things brought together and yet never having a default sound.
It is an amalgamation of sound, party, and freedom, yet is balanced over what gets considered most important by musicians and listeners alike.
I’d say obsession with subgenres makes Rock feel more like a template to a genre than a consistent, concrete genre, so we all have preferences over what kinds of Rock represents you and me, (yet we still end up with trends anyways.)
But again, *Rock never dies.*
I drop the needle on a Rival Sons record and think that rock will be just fine
good band Vintage Trouble and Blues pills too
Marty, that is the most insightful thinking on the topic of how "dead" rock is. Thank you so much for this piece and all of what you do. Your fans are better served for it!!!
Taylor Swift dated them all and they've all quit in disgust of themselves.
Well thought out. Thanks.
