Re: Why is melodic rock not popular in America?

At one of my gigs recently,the bar was cranking old AC/DC (Bon Scott era) when we got there and while we were setting up. The air was electric-I hadn't heard some of those tunes in ages (and had sung most of 'em at one time or another). Now THAT thar is the power of music! Needless to say, I was stoked to hit the stage that night! :-) T
PS: last night after the show, they were playing new Country over the system. It sounded like melodic rock with twang,just as some have mentioned. I would've dug it alot w/o the twang,but it's tough to hear new Country get played a ton and be hugely popular,while our beloved melrock that's just as GOOD gets left behind in the dust. Damd shame and a crime!
