Steven Tyler has opened up about the current state of rock music today. Despite his current cross over into the country ranks, the Aerosmith frontman was compelled to share his thoughts on rock and roll and says that honestly real rock is hard to find these days. “Look what happened with the rock world,” Tyler told the Arizona Republic. “Look where it went. It kind of spun off like a supernova and now there isn’t really much of it at all. You don’t hear anything like the Kinks or the Stones. You won’t hear ‘You Really Got Me.’ Something that when you hear it one time, you go, “f-!” and you know you won’t ever forget it. That kind of era is gone with rock.” He also shared his thoughts on his adoptive genre of country saying, “There’s a bit of commerciality about the Daisy Dukes and all that s- over and over and over, but for the most part, three chords and the truth. It’s f-ing great. And when it’s twisted just the right way? I love it. It’s what I’m all about. I mean, listen to Eric Church. That f-ing guy plays s- that’s like Zeppelin. His band is so bad-ass, right? I mean, there’s some songs he plays that are easygoing but some he plays that are like ‘Oh, my God, who the f- is that?’ Well, that’s Eric Church.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com.
