Once you establish a foundation of knowing what the greatest recording artists of all time were... Wouldn't you want your kids to know this stuff?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Kids these days don't know as much about music as they think they do.
Both of my parents were super music lovers when I was growing up - they had a massive record and tape collection. I think my dad even had a couple of laser discs, but that was a short-lived thing.
When I was a kid, there was so much talent outside of recorded music.
I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.
Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life. My parents had a pretty solid vinyl collection and exposed me to some amazing artists.
There are definitely things about 'Legendary Child' that echo the music we did earlier in our career. It's got the right stuff.
Every generation of rock musician will understand that we wouldn't be anywhere without the support of teenagers buying the records.
The music that I chose during my life, it wasn't arbitrary. It was all in my family home when I was growing up. I never tried to record anything I hadn't heard before the age of 10. Otherwise, I couldn't do it authentically.
I don't know, but I think kids just want to be listened to, so I want to make sure I do that.
The kids I talk to are convinced their generation will make the best music. And the greatest artists have yet to be discovered. I walk around with that thought every day.
