I know they are a particularyly awful example but it seems like having no cahrisma and exactly no danger factor is a trend in modern rock.
I mean shit... modern indie rock isn't gonna scare anyone's parents.
And none of the metal people have any rockstar qauality..

I can definitely see a time soon when the saturation of bands like Coldplay, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, etc, creates a massive critical backlash that will pave the way for a new Guns n Roses type outfit to once again clean up - which will, in itself, lead to yet another Radiohead-of-sorts, and so on. The depressing predictability of Rock is how it never seems able (at least in terms of its more commercial A-List) to break out of this cycle. There's always another Slash waiting in the wings, just as there's always another Jonny Greenwood.
