Do Rock Gods exist in today’s music?

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?

The further away that we get from the advent of the genre, the less we are willing to praise the innovation of musicians. 

However, I will say that Dave Grohl would fall under that category. He's a living legend. He was the first show at this new venue in DC (his hometown) and it was the best show I have ever been too. Everlong live decades later was amazing.
