During a recent episode of “The Howard Stern Show,” Stern revealed that he has been feeling like rock is dead. However, his guest Yungblud refuted those claims. The musician, who experienced a boost following his standout performance of “Changes” at Black Sabbath’s final show, says Turnstile, Knocked Loose, etc. prove rock is still kicking.

Yungblud said the following:

“Rock music is so brilliant, it gets its flowers in hindsight, because it’s such a sacred genre that every dad says, ‘I don’t like that band. It sounds like a band that they knew as a kid.’ Like every f*cking dad says to his kid, ‘I don’t like that. That sounds like what I knew.’ …It always happens. The reason why rock music’s coming back at the minute, people always put so much pressure on one person bringing it back. ‘Who’s going to save rock and roll?’ That’s a load of bullsh*t, you know what I mean? I think with it all, it’s spherical at the minute.

Hardcore: you’ve got Knocked Loose and Turnstile. In punk, you’ve got Amyl And The Sniffers and Lambrini Girls. In Indie, you got Fontaines D.C. and Geese and Wunderhorse. And what I really wanted to do on this album was was to bring a sense of theater, and showmanship, and adventure, and 9-minute songs back in a 2025 way. And it was a f*cking risk, man…”
