Discovered this guy just a while ago, was pretty shocked, getting a Kurt Cobain/Jimi Hendrix/Jim Morrison kind of vibe from the guy. He comes across as a true icon of the times.
Jelly Roll may have some competition coming cause I heard of a new guy called Cinnamon Bun that’s ready to take over
new level of stupidity in this thread. Curious to know if the OP had just smoked a fattie when he start this thread
He was on something as I am hearing nothing originalConsidering weed can heighten music and make it better, I sincerely doubt it.
If anything…OP was probably drunk.
I can't tell if you are just trolling now...this is hilarious.So you view yourself superior to literal MIT professors? Like you really think yourself that great, or you just clueless of who Joe Rogan is?
Name a more prominent individual in the current era that is more open about legitimate hardship? Weight/Criminal record/Addiction/Depression/ While looking like someone who rarely gets seen on camera forget being mainstreamed in the music industry?
Being the tallest guy in the NHL doesn't make you great. Being the tallest who can score/skate etc will.
He's cross domain, charismatic, talented, unique, etc. You can't become a true music icon unless you have a broad collection of goods.
Guy can literally do a Chris Cornell voice, 10 seconds later be rapping, or doing a duet with a country great.
That are currently charting? And have mass appeal outside of the traditional country market?
Again cross domain, it's not just rural people, he speaks to rural people who typically get ignored, for tons of urban people is appeal is strong. If you're bothered by the homelessness epidemic in Los Angeles, you hear this guy and you know he understands it. That's the nature of being iconic, doesn't matter where you are.
Guy has impeccable timing coming about when most people are coming to terms with so many of the mental health/physical health issues that arose in people during covid.
Pardon? Is this even a question?
Getting on Joe Rogan generally means you're one of the premier voices in your field(however legitimate your field is). Pretty much one of the best musician podcasts
To do a duet with the country music artist of the year, generally means you've made it.
Being on an NBC documentary yes means you're a pretty big deal.
Sure every kid watching him will eat themselves to 400 pounds, because jroll did it.
Next your gonna tell me kids are knocking their teeth out with hammers to look more like Brent Burns.
The face tats are a true testament to the reality of life he's lived.
in order to be considered as the one who is the future of music one has to make an impact that makes a real dramatic impact upon both peers and fans. the impact is the level of metaphorically shitting in your pants.
hendrix: one night during the late 60's pete townshend was in some UK bar/club and he saw hendrix do his thing. once he got home he started calling a bunch of guitar heroes from that era like clapton and told all of them that there's a guy out there on the scene that is going to make us start looking for new jobs.
pre-hendrix there were a several rock guitar heroes. post hendrix hundreds.
nirvana: in the early 90's i absolutely hated pearl jam. alive is the only song i like from them. but nirvana yeah they were all right. it was refreshing ya know? at that time the radio airwaves were flooded with bad band versions of 80's hair metal. trixter, firehouse, shit like that.
not only did cobain wipe out those shit bands, they took down almost ALL the metal bands. to name a few, priest, maiden, and dio were forced to stop playing in places like madison sq garden and the philly spectrum. once nirvana exploded record companies scaled back metal releases and radio stations threw all those albums in the trash, the only ones who didn't get dented were metallica and bon jovi.
lastly the test of time. 10, 15, 20 years from now i'm almost certain that people of all generations will still click on and jam to cobain and hendrix tunes. can the same really honestly be said about jelly roll?
Such a powerful voice!
Indeed I don't see what's powerful about this singing there but to each their own.I've only seen American Idol a handful of times but this performance doesn't seem any better than what you would see on that show.
I went and gave that a listen on YouTube, it's "catchy" to a point that's kind of nauseating. It answers to every expectations you might have, living in the joyous and flashy opposition to originality and creativity. The future of music is bland.Jelly Roll's Need A Favor is up to #17. The OP's call is still alive!
These songs remind me of Everlast
Absolutely spot on. Just listened to his new song "Need a Favor" and if someone told me it was an Everlast cover I would have believed them. Such a generic "top hits" radio song.Seems like a modern Everlast/Bubba Sparx crossover guy, however I don't see him as leading the pack.
The industry has a very clear vision of who they want to push (models who can sing clean pretending to play musicians).
Aren't songs...suppose to be catchy?I went and gave that a listen on YouTube, it's "catchy" to a point that's kind of nauseating. It answers to every expectations you might have, living in the joyous and flashy opposition to originality and creativity. The future of music is bland.
Not necessarily. In general, it's not one of the top things I'm looking for and I can view it as a negative at times. Part of why music is so subjective.Aren't songs...suppose to be catchy?

Just had ol' JR in my YouTube suggestions (why?!) and had to bump this thread to announce that the future of music has now arrived, and it's a collab' with MGK.
(again... wtf YouTube?)
