Is old music killing new music?

You are wrong. Heck, even Jump was criticized to hell and back for being synth garbage instead of the shred metal that Van Halen was known for prior to that song.

There has never been a time in history when more great music was being created and made accessible to the masses than today. And I say that as a crotchety jazz nerd.

VH was never metal, they started before it with hard-blues reminiscent of Led Zeppelin with a party posture, then added piano chords and pop sensibility via synth. They were only in the neighborhood due to EVH imitators.

There's nothing bluesy about "Right Now."

So what? It certainly isn't metal either.

But it does shred.
