The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach has said that the whole argument about the 'death of rock n' roll' is stupid.


In an interview with WGRD, Auerbach claimed that the popularity of bands such as Foo Fighters is evidence why rock n' roll music isn't dead.

Auerbach said: I think that it's so lame of an argument, it seems so stupid. It's like the press needs something to talk about. Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.

Last month drummer Patrick Carney said that Nickelback are to blame for the current lull in guitar music.

''Rock and roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world'', drummer Patrick Carney told Rolling Stone.

He added: "So they became OK with the idea that the biggest rock band in the world is always going to be shit - therefore you should never try to be the biggest rock band in the world. F*ck that.
