Will you miss it?
Cliff said "They just don't know what's a-goin' to replace it", do you have any suggestions?

Alt: What else is dead? You can't say b3ta.

Drugs and alcohol abuse is the new rock. Similar to the old rock but there is no musical element now.
Alt: mr kirks son

I think Gene Simmons is a cock.
Anyone who blames file sharing for the drop in revenues is also a cock. People who share films and music online aren't people who would generally go out any buy it, they're the sort who would, if it was twenty years ago, have taped the top forty and transferred the songs they like onto a mix-tape. Anything else they'd have borrowed off of a mate to make a copy.

Rock et al are dying on their arse because times are changing and tastes / marketing are evolving as is always the case.

Something will replace it, as soon as the fickle public determine what the next rebellious thing is.

Alt: The Queen. She was replaced with a marionette as part of her will, she'll die the day after Charles dies.

Excuse me, he was relevant as recently as 2006 when he presented reality tv show Rock School

He is just as relevant and 'rawk' now signing licensing agreements for the latest Kiss branded pinball machine or coffin as he was in the 70s making mediocre music.
Plus it was 100 years ago, get over it!
Should we even be celebrating rock?

It's still a form of music that's enjoyed by millions in one form or another.
Unless you're talking about sweets, then the answer depends on your teeth.

Slade were good.

I'm glad that Mr Simmons is so in touch
^^ the comment about home taping killing music^^ is apt. It didn't kill music any more than piracy will - the basic business model has to change though. Maybe the massive lumbering edifice of the hangers-on in the music biz - the chief assistant's chief assistant's assistant type roles will have to go.

Alt: My love of rap.
