It's okay as long as music doesn't die...
The Black Keys' frontman Dan Auerbach says he doesn't care if rock music dies.
Last month the band's drummer Patrick Carney claimed it was declining and blamed bands like Nickelback for it. Carney said: "Rock and roll is the music I feel the most passionately about, and I don't like to see it fucking ruined and spoonfed down our throats in this watered-down, post-grunge crap, horrendous shit."
Auerbach said: "Is rock music dead? Ha. Honestly? I don't really care. I don't listen to just one kind of music. As long as music doesn't die, I'll be OK. All that talk is just fads and stories and that's not my job. I don't worry about anything other than playing music. We've always ignored the trends."
