10 OLD Rock Bands That Really Should Retire

[GoldenTV]

I grew up in the 80's listening to these high energy Rock bands such as AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Kiss, Scorpions, Foreigner and others on the radio. But listening and watching these original bands in 2024/2025 as seen in this video, it sound like tribute bands rather than the band themselves.

As Neil Young wrote in one of his song: "It's better to burn out than to fade away".

Funny, Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue said this week that bands and performers over a certain age shouldn't try to pretend that they're 26. Which is ironic coming from a band insisting they would no longer go on "farewell tours".

Having said that, Vince Neil should invest in weight loss goals and exercises. There have been health scares with him.

Probably the hardest part for 80's "high energy" rock bands that still tour would be for the vocalist. Aging change the tone and projecting voice quality of a vocalist. For example listen to Van Halen singer David Lee Roth in the youtube video and one can see he is having trouble keeping up with his back up band.
