To me, there’s a difference between the status of Rock God & Rock Star. There’s plenty of Rock Stars like Dave Grohl or Kid Rock (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit typing that).
I’d say all the members of Metallica are Gods as is Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam & maybe Flea & Anthony K of RHCP. But all of those guys couldn’t be considered contemporary, although they’re all still (somewhat) active.
So, are Rock Gods still being born, or are they a dead breed?
I was gonna say the old bands that are still kicking are probly the closest thing like metallica... most are missing members.
as far as newer bands.. I cant think of one. But its Success over time that elevates their status to god like eventually... So time will tell.
Gretta van Fleet... I believe is the name has a chance to skyrocket if they can keep producing songs the quality they have... they have that led zeppelin sound and its amazing
