Jeez, Smithers, 28 years is a long time to get started on that order.

HD DAD posted:The Stones have their place in history, but it’s probably not controversial to say they haven’t done anything truly interesting in decades. Which makes me think, what popular musicians continued to do interesting things well into their senior years and not just become a touring Greatest Hits act? I can think of Bowie, Cohen, and Cash. Maybe Pet Shop Boys. Well if you mean interesting in the literal sense, Lou Reed comes to mind.

Dylan appears to outright hate concert goers - but he does still write and record songs, and some of them are even ok. His voice is really far into "more interesting than good" now, of course.

I remember back in the ‘80s people were making jokes about geriatric Rolling Stones. Now here we are 35 years later and one of them finally kicks the bucket at 80. RIP, you (now literal) old coot.

You Are A Elf posted:I remember back in the ‘80s people were making jokes about geriatric Rolling Stones. I remember Letterman cracking about "the Steel Wheelchairs tour". I imagine they'll probably just keep soldiering on with a session drummer. For all the talk about him being irreplaceable and whatever, he was no Ginger Baker: they can find someone else (and already had, when it was just announced he was sick). I'm not sure why they'd want to, though: they have more money than they could ever spend, and surely better things to do that roam from city to city for the thousandth time.

beer gas canister posted:just found about Sparks a few weeks ago and i've been gobsmacked ever since How could I forget about Sparks? They’re the kind of guys who, when pushing 50 and reaching a point where their contemporaries were already resting on their laurels, decided to say gently caress it and self-produce a dance album in 1994 and it kicked rear end. And that’s only one example - they’ve done that countless times. Ron and Russel Mael are savants.

Zappa Plays Zappa is apparently great - Dweezil may not be the songwriter his dad was, but he's a good guitar player and decent vocalist. The rest of the band is some rotating selection of people who played with Zappa and new talent - and I kind of hope it'll just keep going with new people. As for the genuine old guys still going - Ry Cooder? He's 74 now, and has been active since the 60s; he made two supposedly quite good and politically topical albums in 2011 and 2012, and the latest one from 2018 is apparently decent.

Some of my favourite bands are dipping well into their 50s and still doing great stuff. Everyone in Killing Joke are in their 60s now, overdue for a new album.

Shiroc posted:I saw Neil Young twice. The one thing he for sure isn't up to is knowing when to end a song instead of aimlessly jamming on it for like 15 minutes past when he's lost the audience. Then doing it again for every single song after that. lol yup i saw him once in like 06 and that was exactly it. and there was like, violin metal. terrible.

Trans was a great album aside from Computer Cowboy. I can’t imagine Neil young doing those songs live but I like to imagine it was bad.

I remember seeing interviews with individual Stones members and each was asked something along the lines of what kept the group together for so long-- Mick: "Charlie Watts" Keith: "Charlie Watts" Bill: "Charlie Watts" Ron: "Charlie Watts" Charlie Watts: "I dunno."

I don't think Keith has partied as hard as we all think, like someone else posted. He and the rest of the group were very amazed at the amount of drugs and drinking that the Country artists at the time (George Jones, Cash, etc) did.
