Discussing the issue of ageing gracefully within the context of rock'n'roll, The Hold Steady frontman told Xfm that while some artists grow older with aplomb, others are simply embarrassing.
You have artists like Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young that have aged very well and then you have a thousand other examples that have aged poorly.
"Anything that’s part of a trend or a group hasn’t aged well, like hair metal. Motley Crue didn’t age very well and even Red Hot Chili Peppers are terrible now. That doesn’t even sound like rock’n’roll to me. It’s kinda like bland, elevator [music]."
