NICKS: ‘INTERNET IS KILLING ROCK ‘N’ ROLL’
STEVIE NICKS is convinced the internet has "destroyed" rock ‘n’ roll beca use young bands are no longer given the chance to develop if they don’t a chieve instant success.
The Fleetwood Mac singer is vehemently opposed to the expansion of the internet, blaming the growth of the online music industry for stifling up coming talent and discouraging youngsters from socialising with their pee rs.
She tells the New York Daily News, "The internet has destroyed rock. Ch ildren no longer develop social graces. They don’t hang out anymore. I’m financially stable. I’m OK. But what about the kids trying to make it in this business? If you’re not an established band, if you don’t have a hit single, they’re (the record labels) gonna drop you. There are a lot of p eople out there as talented as we (Fleetwood Mac) were, but they can’t su stain being in a rock ‘n’ roll band for long without success. We were abl e to, but we’re going to die out."
