Everything these days seems so watered down. Even Marilyn Manson (The man that claimed to be Antichrist Superstar) is singing about his love life. Will another revolutionary rise? If so do you have any predictions of who it will be?

It's kind of scary to say but I think ever since Cannibal Corpse,Mayhem and the majority of Death and Black metal bands of the 90's hit the scene shock went as far as it could go.

what has shock value anymore? when you think the envelope has been pushed with Manson singing about religion and government, or Mudvayne doing their flavor of the month, or dudes in masks or facepaint...
theatrics must match the lyrics, in cases like these
if more things like Black Metal crept into the mainstream, then the corpsepainted white faces would inspire ghastliness while good distorted riffs would echo through eternity. I really can't forsee anybody that is big right now, making a bigger impact in the future, than they already have...but a band is waiting. a group is lurking to unleash and dominate, desecrate, annihilate, and obliterate

That hasn't happened in a looong time.
Agree w/ the 1st reply. Few things ARE shocking anymore. I was just saying the other day- Soon, if not already, we'll have a generation of *grandparents* who *grew up* on death metal & gangsta rap...what'll shock *them*??
As for just breaking the mold, well it won't happen until we stop American Idol worshipping & being fine w/ generic pop punk/ emo bands.
I think it'll take a truly original group of people to really make another difference in rock again. That kind of change hasn't happened since grunge in the 90s.

I think there will always be creative and talented people who are unique, but as far as shock value, I think it's all been done- and what hasn't been done no one's probably gonna care about or be impressed with anyway. Trying to hard to be shocking is kind of cheap and ends up being silly. If revolutionaries rise, it'll more likely be because they're inspired, rather than shocking.

in simple terms placed: there are lots of universal rock bands. they only all suck now days. i think of 2004-2005 became the final time I listened to a fashionable rock radio station. have not touched it considering. For universal rock i like in general early 90s grunge and punk, 80's metallic, and 70's classic rock.

i agree with you man this era is giving us some f*cking bull but metal will rise again once the boy bands are out of the picture. to hell with mainstream! i think "Daath" will come up with something good. hopefully it will break the mold

well let's see. i grew up to gangster rap and watching the most amazing fanbased bands sell their souls to the mainstream and every overprivileged teenaged girl and boy in the united states. fed a steady diet of screamo, black metal, metalcore, thrash metal, emocore, more screamo, a lot of gangster rap, and blowing my brain cells to hell everyday.
so you ask me, by the time i'm 30, in 12 years, what will be the new big shoccing music thing?
well.
i'm glad you asked.
because i'm still going to be sitting on my curb outside my house banging on a coffee can with a screwdriver screaming my heart out.
PEACE IN THE STREETS.
c's up b's down.
word.. mmkay.
see cuz it dont' matter.
NOTHING MAKES ANY SENSE ANYMORE.
