Yeah, I got that. But it just seems wrong. New classic rock? I suppose a lot of bands want to be tagged as classic rock, but I feel you have to earn your stripes to be considered classic rock - Cream, Clapton, Zep, Free etc. Guess anything can be classed as anything if you want it to be. Threshold, one of my favourite bands (you'd hate them of course) say on their website "We're a good old classic rock band" (though I think they mean more in the idea of we're a rock band in the classic mould, rather than we're classic rock per se) but I definitely class them as progressive metal, a tag they seem to dislike. Shrug, I guess.
