I am musically stunted. I haven't listened to much popular music since 1990. I'm finding out that there are a LOT of great new artists!
There's almost always great new music being recorded. This was from the 90s and is probably my favorite GnR song.
The video is excellent and the guitar solos are monumental. It was Slash at his finest.
The 90s actually had a ton of great music.
It's true, there was good music that came out of the 90's, but so much of what got airplay was crap. It was hard to go from virtuosos to dudes who didn't even care if their guitars were in tune. I know that there was a lot from the 90's that didn't fall into that category, but there was an awful lot that did. That drove me away from what was popular at the time.
I think that's kinda true for every generation. Quite a bit of it is pure shit but a subset is pretty fucking awesome.
Also, there's quite a bit of grunge that I don't absolutely despise. I enjoy some of the alternative that led into it.
The early 90s were pretty rocking. Hell, that's when songs like Nothing Else Matters came out.
Right now, I'm in the middle of an experiment. I'm watching live television. I said I'd do it for the duration of the pandemic - not knowing it'd last this long. I'm a goddamned idiot. Anyhow, my next experiment is going to be listening to live radio. I dunno how long that'll last, but I'm going to explore current music.
Hell yeah they did!
