How come all of these rock stars are no longer living the rock n' roll lifestyle?

I think Jim Morrison predicted back in the day when he said Rock is Dead....Back in those times when Mtv first came out Rock was sort of underground just like rap...Those times The Gen X day everyone wanted to be a rebel now a day they just want to be business men selling a product instead of having fun doing something they love

closest they will ever be alive is in my stereo!  People who think Elvis is still alive need a new hobby and just accept he is dead.  I dont believe aliens took him or that he faked his own death.  Some people just have too much of an imagination.

Rock musicians are actually trying to brainwash their followers to believe in bad moral values.  Read this article on rock and roll: http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/2002/04-08-2002/vo18no07_rocknroll.htm

Those artists were inspired by musicians who were all about the music. The blues was the last great musical form. From it came rhythm-and-blues, rock'n'roll and much of what followed in rock. You have to go back to the roots to truly get it. Bands today are often copies of copies, all the fire is gone after so any levels of remove from the real thing. Maybe someone will put together something we haven't heard before that rocks. I'm not too hopeful, but who knows?

I absolutely love most of the bands that played Woodstock. Janis Joplin and Jefferson Airplane being among my favorites. Soundgarden, STP, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, are all good. There were others too that were good. I have to agree with you about Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Click Five, etc. I don't know where rock is going but it needs to come back. They lack substance and they whine a lot. I don't like that at all. I'm hoping that once again something new will come out that will put those bands to shame much like "grunge" did to hair metal

When it no longer appeals to the masses who purchase this art form. Because Rap sells and Sells big, music producers will continue to produce and sell this art form. If you wish to eliminate rap, try replacing it with an alternative form of music. Much as Rock n Roll replaced most pop music of the fifties, Rap can be replaced when the next wave of music appeals to the masses. It will probably never completely go away as there may always be a portion of the buying public willing to buy this art. After all Vic Damone, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin are still selling records even though their time has come and gone.

Classic Rock and Roll is not dead.  It is just not coming over the airwaves.\n\nOlder music lovers either iPod or play self-mix CD's, and many are listening to real Rock and Roll.\n\nThe radio stations tend toward newer releases and have become big business.  They tend to push groups like Green Day, so younger listeners have little choices.  Many have never heard any really good music.\n\nThe mere fact that "Dark Side of the Moon" is still being sold in music stores while CD's cut only two years ago are not, should tell you something about the quality of some of the newer groups.  Who is to say what will be available in ten years?

Because they are like a new band now, they´ve got i think either 2 or 3 new members and the lead singer isnt in the band anymore, cuz he´s got his own band called "Angels & Airwaves". They all still rock though! =)

The fact is, it really is true that women are not doing well. If you see in hollywood most girls are making a living out of her body and sex. They are just marketed based on how much sexy they are and how much attraction they might produce. And so when she gets a little older like 32 or something she gets kicked out. You should be able to see that there are a very few girls in the industry where they are making a living even after they are old, but still sexy. There are not a lot true talents among those girls, they are just allowing guys to use them to produce money, specially all models are doing so.

How can you possibly put Queen aginst such crap artists as those?!\nAC/DC maybe, due to them being classic rock\n\nBut the other three will have been forgotten by the end of the decade, I'm sorry, but that's just how it is

Not everyone does. Those who give in to all the stories and lives of the Celebrities are usually younger people (tweens and teens) and those who attach themselves to fantasy rather than the reality of their own lives.

Wow! I have not though about that for sometime! I always wanted to grow up and be a rock star. I still love music and the closest that I have to becoming a Rock Star is a Karaoke singer for fun when I go out with my friends. Wow what big dreams we have when were kids!

I don't even think it's a matter of rock n roll dieing. it's recognition. even punk music, although there's tons of punk bands out there now, they don't get recognized. you search the word "punk" within your cell phone, for example, and it will pull up simple plan, blink 182... that's not punk. just like rock n roll... rock n roll will never die.

They didn't actually breakup they all have different bands and projects they are working on at the present time like Corey Taylor in Stone Sour and Joey Jordison in Murderdolls, but they all will eventually come back because they are way too popular to call it quits!
