Historically its taken singular men, or bands, to rejuvinate or reinvent rock n roll, I feel its people like me(but not me cos am not that strong) that do it, people who feel like outsiders musically but have the strong mindedness to prove themselves.
When i put on sweet child o mine on on the jukebox in my local pub, you can see people enjoy it. But so far as getting them to listen to a cover band doing that stuff or to buy the CD is another thing.
The UK music scene sucks!!
