Members JRicoC Posted April 23, 2013 Members Share Posted April 23, 2013 The obvious answer is "Bruce Springsteen". At 63 years old (and 40-plus years at it) he's still regularly touring the US, Europe and Australia, has produced more credible material in the last ten years than most top artists do in their first ten, and is one of the few artists who can open a show with a set from his most-recently-released album ...

Members uab9253 Posted April 23, 2013 Members Share Posted April 23, 2013 I agree with a lot of choices listed earlier, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Rush, Bruce, but I'll add some odd ones:Green Day, they may still seem new but they've been gitn'r done for years.Alice in Chains gets my respect for their last two releases.Believe it or not, Rick Springfield's last two releases were career topping, songwriting quality wise. He writes his own stuff and does most of his own guitars. His live band kicks ass too.Van Halen - totally loved the new CD.Blue Oyster Cult is still slogging around out there. Had the chance to do an extended interview with Eric Bloom a couple of years ago and didn't once mention MORE COWBELL! :-)Fleetwood Mac - no new material but still sounding good live. Same with the Eagles - their two disc release awhile back was a dissappointment.Iron Maiden - anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fresh_powder Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 Roger Waters! The Wall is one of the best live shows I've EVER seen, and I've seen a lot of shows...Furthur continue to impress. Bob & Phil have been playing at a high level (pun intended) for a loooong time.Clapton's not touring much these day's but still is doing his Crossroads thing and standing toe to toe with some of the best on the planet.Jeff Beck's being mentioned. I can't argue. JB's still amazing and unique.My sleeper has to be Gov't Mule. GM's been going since the mid-late 90's and still putting out great cd's and mind-blowing concerts. If Warren Haynes had been born in 1940, he'd be a household name among guitar players. Since the corprate purchase and subsequent death of independant radio, this band get's little/no airplay. They continue to be worth a listen (I do all the time)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LikeMoths2Flames Posted August 12, 2013 Members Share Posted August 12, 2013 Chris Cornell is still gettin' it done for sure! Went to a Soundgarden show last year and it kicked so much ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MephitBlue Posted August 12, 2013 Members Share Posted August 12, 2013 Alice in Chains - or maybe better to say Jerry Cantrell is still writing good music and playing strong.Soundgarden - While I wasn't impressed with their last album, they really do rock in Concert.Deftones - There last album, Koi No Yokan was amazing and their music has just gotten better over the yearsBlack Sabbath (especially Tony Iommi) - 13 was a really good album that stands up with their earlier work and their performance last week was really good. Ozzy isn't quite what he use to be, but Tony and Geezer were really rocking it hard for two hours straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
