AC/DC
Motorhead
The Ramones (when they were around)
and countless others have been doing it the same and are still incredible.
There is nothing wrong with sticking to what you know and like.
There is a difference between that and going through the motions. Which a
lot more people do just to stay in the limelight (or lack thereof).
