Mötley Crüe struggled to become famous due to the New Wave music, which they later helped kill off at the US Festival. The band struggled even more with getting a record deal then with becoming famous. No record company wanted to sign this band of degenerates who are playing rock and metal music when what was in was New Wave. Mötley Crüe very often struggled with fights and criticism for what they look like and how they sing. Their other major fight that they constantly battled was girls, with abusive girlfriends like Honey and Bullwinkle. The band in there early days usually used women for four purposes Food, Alcohol, Drugs, and

We have lead singer Scott Carney and bassist Jacob Heustis there is an ex-member of the band Kevin Ratterman whose tenure with the band came to an end in 2011. One of the things that drew me to this band is the eccentric vocals of the frontman Carney, the band gives off a different sound than most of the stuff that's out there today.

“The 1975” is an alt-rock grunge band formed in 2002 by Matthew Healy, current frontman. The band consists of four members: Matty as guitarist and lead singer, Adam Hann as rhythmic guitarist, Ross Macdonald as bassist, and George Daniel as drummer.

The juvenile group recorded YouTube videos in their basements, and did mere gigs at local bars. They introduced themselves by covering aged punk songs, but soon began writing their own content (Kurr).

Panic! At the Disco Panic! At the Disco (P!ATD) is a pop punk rock band that consists of the lead singer and face of the group, Brendon Urie, and several unnamed/unpopular guitarists and drummers. The biggest competitor for P!ATD is the other main stream pop punk rock band called Fall Out Boy (FOB) which consists of Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, and Andy Hurley. Although P!ATD and FOB have similar musical styles, the different music videos each group presents, the varying tunes and lyrics, and disparate stage presence during live concerts, is why I lean toward P!ATD as my favorite overall band, with FOB falling just behind it.

If you are looking for music that is catchy with substance, look no further than San Francisco natives Panic is Perfect.

Panic! At the Disco’s “This is Gospel” portrays society’s emphasis on homogeneity as an oppressive force for its individuals and the band is telling their audience to fight against it. In this video, we see the lead singer, Brendon Urie, struggling to fight being treated by a group of doctors.

When people hear the genre “rock and roll,” they often think of performers like Elvis Presley, AC/DC, and Aerosmith. Those bands have provided the foundation for rock and roll, but the newer bands have to carry over from the bands of the 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s to the bands of the 1990’s and the 2000’s.

It took the band Thirty Seconds to Mars and lead singer, Jared Leto a little longer to give the modern day world music to talk about. The band took a year to find a studio to support them.
