Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno: 'You can see why there's no bands left'
Rock guitarist criticised the internet's effect on music

Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno has criticised the impact the internet is having over the state of music, saying: "You can see why there's no bands left almost."
The musician recently suggested that Kasabian are one of the last rock 'n' roll bands, and now it seems he's gone one step further.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Pizzorno was asked if Kasabian would be as successful if they'd formed today. He replied: "It's mental now, it's really fucking hard. You can see why there's no bands left almost, it's really really tough."

He added: "I remember if I had a CD that was like 15 quid or whatever, y'know half your wages, and you would go 'Oh no this is rubbish, what have I done? I've got to listen to it again!' And then 5, 6 listens in you're like, 'This is amazing.'
"When you just give something 30 seconds on some laptop speakers and then you review it and go 'Oh this is shit - bang, I just hate that'. It's horrible, that culture of 'form an opinion after 20 seconds, then tell everyone on the Internet it's shit'."
Pizzorno also addressed his previous comments regarding the state of rock 'n' roll, saying: "It's not dead 'cause we're still here, 48:13's gonna reignite it."
Kasabian's new album, 48:13, will be released in 9 June ahead of their headlining slot at Glastonbury on 29 June.
