Classic rock hate thread (hexbear.net)

I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

I mean they're old as hell now. Same with Guns and Roses. I know someone that managed to go to a Guns n Roses show in South Africa when they did a show here, and apparently it was also terrible. So yeah being terrible live is sadly a thing for a lot of these older rock bands. The money is too good to turn down and retire I guess.

First off, Guns and Roses at their peak had notoriously bad live shows, usually cause axl just wouldn't show up or they were too fucked up, now guns n roses is axl and session people, so yeah, it makes sense that a cover band led by the original lineups biggest liability in a live setting they'd suck. Acdc kept a lineup for the most part aside from the bon Scott thing. I've seen people their age and older either rock way harder in the case of some older punks in reunited or new bands or just have a more well put together and rehearsed set. This also would have been in 2008 or so.
