Rock & Roll Is Dead, 2005
Written by Nicke Andersson
This is a '70s-style revival rock track, with a guitar solo in the middle that could have come straight out of the Allman Brothers. The Hellacopters are a Swedish rock band with enough swagger and glam to make you look past the serviceable, but hardly novel, attack on television culture. There are a couple of witty lines here ("The world's in a hurry but I don't have to worry / I got my virtue and I got my vice / I got bedsores, aching ligaments galore / Now that's a tiny sacrifice"), but mostly it's taking potshots at an easy target. Not that rock songs have to have syllogistic arguments. Fist-pumping is sometimes enough.
