Tribune 30 years from now? You can't compare anything to the fucking Beatles or Zeppelin; pioneers are pioneers. I don't get how you can be so impressed by this local band and seemingly forget that there's a whole world of
real independent music out there.
Like I said,
just open your ears.
And mind.
No I dont think they will be that big, but I do think its a step in the right direction.
What I mean is that in 60's the Beatles delivered a style of music that virtually everyone liked, and its music that remains relevant today. In the 70's we got Led Zepplin who again changed the face of music and was well recieved by everyone. The 80's introduced us to Metallica and in the 90's Nirvana gave us grunge rock. These bands will go down in history as pioneers of their time and relotionizing the concept of what music can be and soundlike.
I haven't heard a band since Nirvana that I think will be even remotely relevant in the years to come. I cant think of anyone in the 2000-2010 decade to have that level of impact. Everything sounds to me like the same recycled garbage or someone actually trying to be artistic but failing horribly at it.
What I hear in tribune and what I saw in crowd reaction was an appreciation for real instrumentation and something more thought provoking lyrically than the likes of Nikki Minaj and Lil Wayne. (I am not saying these guys are great lyricists, but certainly more artistic than the majority of the radio). So they gave me some hope.
Im still searching for the band that makes me feel the way I did when I was much younger and heard the iconic Sabbath "Ironman" Riff. Or the opening powerchords to "Smells like teen spirit." or possibly the deep sense of meaning I get when I listen the Grateful Dead or Zepplin's "Stairway to Heaven."
Tribune is not that band, but for a group of high school kids they rock damn hard. I do think that guitar player could go places if someone big discovers him.
