10 Moments That Nearly Destroyed Rock

Even so, the biggest outcry came from other groups - specifically moderate churches and soccer moms. During that time, the Republican party platform was strictly anti-censorship, while the more conservative churches tended to push individual responsibility for avoiding "sinful" activities, rather than forcing such responsibility on the government.

Imagine hearing Teen Spirit without the explosive aggressive opening hook or Heart Shaped Box without the echoing rhythmic crash cymbals. There is no way they would've been the same.

We were singing, "Bye, bye, Miss American Pie." Drove our Chevys to the levy, but the levy was dry. We lost four influential musicians to plane crashes. Three died in 1959. One died in 1977. The music of Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson, and Ronnie Van Zant shall forever be epic.

[@solomonjones5713]

Smoking Thrillz ya but that doesn’t make the genre dead. That’s my point

[@RickReasonnz]

Missing the point there. This list is about events that, if they happened, would make rock diminished. Day the Music died DID happen, so it doesn't count.

[@DrEvil-nx3xx]

When people lose their kids (that listened to metal) they are too struck by guilt and grief to realize that the artists didn't have an agenda against their kid. The artists shouldn't have to ever be responsible for someone else's decision. It's easy to look for an external source to place the blame upon, but at the end of the day, no musician should be sued for their message.

[@richardkey4289]

That judas priest lawsuit might have been fueled by grieving parents looking for an explanation, as well as overzealous lawyers & prosecutors looking for a way to get famous....

Only really the glam bands. Thrash and death did just fine.

[@Fireglo]

No it didn't. Hair metal was still having hits in the early 90's. Warrant - Cherry Pie, Poison - Unskinny Bop, Something to Believe In, Mr. Big - Just Take My Heart, To Be With You, Vixen - Rev it Up, Love is a Killer, Damn Yankees - High Enough, Ratt - Loving You is a Dirty Job etc. Penelope acts like she changed the course of history with her film that no one even watched. Hair metal was doing fine for years after that film dropped. It went out of fashion around 93.

'80s.

[@richferguson6860]

I always wondered if all the band's in that film were real or some were actors portraying bands

[@AnthonySforza]

@@richferguson6860 Actually, they were the guys from the bands, however... Perhaps not as accurate as it could have been. Case in point, as per Paul Stanley, for his segment, she asked him what the most Rockstar thing he could think of, was. He'd responded "I don't know, lying on expensive silk sheets with two women." Thinking it was just a general question. Then when it came time to do his interview, there was the bed with the two women, to which he was internally losing it like a little kid, thinking "This is so awesome!"

[@pablomolina443]

Actually Adam Jones was already a succesful plastic artist, he sculpted the velociraptor and T-rex of jurasic park, also worked doing the special effects of Terminator 2 and some more movies, he made the choice of playing ewith Tool full time because he had nothing to loose.

[@eskimogioia9848]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You forgot John Denver's role in the filthy fifteen.

[@davidnissim589]

Rick Allen (Def Leppard's drummer) losing his left arm in a car crash? He thought he would never play drums again, but he had a special kit made for him (he has a series of pedals connected to a drum machine that make the sounds of the parts he used to play with his left arm), and ultimately continued. The next album he would record after his accident was Hysteria, one of the biggest albums of the 1980's.

[@richardramirezthecat8147]

im pretty sure if Jimmy Page had followed through with his original creative calling of becoming a painter instead of a guitarist modern music would be very, very different as well

[@keitha.563]

Absolutely agree 💯

[@IronheadOfScroteus]

You forgot to add John Denver to the list of those who spoke against the PMRC along with Dee Snider and Frank Zappa. Denver's disarming country boy charm quickly turned to shrewd, intelligent eloquence when he took the floor and left everyone gobsmacked. Dee Snider became an instant fan. He'll confirm this if you get a chance to ask.

[@Uvevwevwevwe]

When mentioning PMRC you should have mentioned Jello Biafra. He obliterated Tipper Gore on live TV, and consistently was one of her biggest critics.

[@richardkey4289]

That whole thing might have been to help raise Tipper's & All s profile to further their political careers

[@booneadams2003]

If you think about it there could’ve been millions of other bands and people that could change rock and music history but chose a different path in life

[@euanmangan7760]

Imagine some alternate universe in which they would say that Kurt cobain's suicide attempt succeeding would have changed rock forever

[@AnthonySforza]

Honestly, I think they would have gone the same way as Pearl Jam, where they blew up exponentially, then kind of slow burned throughout the 90s and into 2000 (Pending they would have stayed together that long), and every time they come out with a new album, it sparks a little interest and that's it. I realistically don't think this perspective of Nirvana being the greatest band ever, to the point of being played on the rock stations ever hour, would be a thing. I'm reminded of that quote from The Dark Knight, where you die the hero, or live long enough to be the villain. However, adjusted for music, it'd probably be that you either die the megastar, or you live long enough to fade into obscurity. I mean, look at someone's trajectory like Jim Morrison's, versus Johnny Cash's. When Rick Rubin hit him up to do an album with him around the turn of the century, he'd been playing to rooms of a couple hundred people for over a decade. Then, he made the huge come back and died a star. Or look at Meat Loaf, he was pretty much off the radar for the entire 80s, came back, but now he's off the radar again. My point being is that most former stars don't usually get the come ba k, but when they do, it's just kind of repeating the process.

[@user-wm8ib]

Anthony Sforza If you heard Kurts unreleased tracks he recorded at home it was going to be filled with acoustics as well as some electric. It would’ve been their greatest album in terms of creativity. Shame.

[@m00t53]

@@AnthonySforza He was obsessed with the quote, "It's better to burn out than to fade away". It seems like Kurt was destined to die famous. He didn't want to go the route PJ ultimately did. He was tired. Life had weathered him down to nothing and he didn't want to just slowly lose what he had left of himself so he decided to destroy it. He never really wanted the life of a star. He hated the mainstream corporate rock scene and he still got caught in the trap. He was either gonna get stuck making radio friendly crap that he hated or he was gonna fade from the scene entirely and go back underground because his style of music doesn't fly with the corporate fuckwads that rule the industry. Tell me the last time you heard anything from Incesticide on the radio or Bleach that isn't About a Girl

[@Lalalunatix]

I love that Tool, APC, and Puscifer not not existing made the top of the list. I couldn't imagine not being able to hear them. I could not agree more with the top spot. :)

If it wasn't for the Judas Priest trial, there wouldn't have been a Painkiller album. And besides that, Better By You, Better Than Me isn't even Judas Priest's song. It was a cover of a Spooky Tooth song.

[@connormckee4431]

I feel like Tony’s accident created their sound rather than potentially destroying it

[@madflynn4856]

that's why it's on the list cause he might not have played

[@joelmacdonald6994]

If Tony Iomi’s accident hadn’t happened, we still wouldn’t have the metal sound we have today. Tony started the trend of downtuning and power chords in metal. His playing changed because of the accident, and his playing is among the most influential in metal.

0:55 - Les invented his version of a solid body instrument and Gibson passed on it. A few years later, in reaction to Fender’s success, Gibson created their solid body guitar; they were going to make a solid body guitar but they thought a famous name would help sales, so they called Les ... kinda like George Forman and his grill.

In the hearings before the congressional committee considering a proposal to “rate” music, the testimony of Frank Zappa and Dee Snyder was crucial, yet it was the testimony of the clean cut, popular country singer John Denver, opposed to what he called “artistic suppression”, that swayed the committee.

If #1 didn't happen & he was never in the wreck, never in the hospital, than he could've made something inferior to what he made happen. So sometimes you make the best happen at your worst. This proves that. Randy was Ozzys best guitarist hands down. So I agree with that one. Also agree with the Slash & Judas Priest one. The others, I've heard arguments over, so could've gone either way.
