I allways loved JJ for his open vision and honest opinion but with this article he shows a lack of respect to both fans and other bands. He says he doesn't care about a new AC/DC album? That the fans don't care? Well he is wrong. Maybe they won't sell that much copies anymore but new material makes you relevant. You don't have to do it anymore for the dollars but to make sure that you don't become a relic. Carcass didn't record new material for 14 years, now they did and this is one of their best albums ever, just like Black Sabbath did with 13. You don't have to look at the sales figures anymore, people these days listen to music on YouTube, Spotify and stuff like that. In the case of AC/DC they showed with Black Ice and Rock 'n Roll train that they still are AC/DC and that they still rock. Of course Twisted Sister does that on stage but they do it with their performences but who cares about that after seeing 2 or 3 shows? Us, the diehard fans, the SMF's but not the general public. Twisted Sister is returning this year for the third year in a row to Belgium, I'm very happy, but other people tell me: 'isn't this a bit to much, 3 times the same show?' And those are people who screamed their lungs out at Graspop. Twisted Sister can be proud of their heritage, but if they want to keep on doing these headlining shows year after year than they will have to record new material or else nobody will bother anymore.
