no, seriously...major labels shy away from the "actually dangerous with something to say" and are drawn to the more stable/consistent behavior of "pretending to be dangerous with nothing to say" (Godsmack/Nickleback/Volbeat/FFDP/etc).
They hate bands who are volatile and who may either self implode or cause a riot, seemingly at the flip of the coin..
Those days are over. But dangerous or not, those two bands had great songs and made great albums.
There are still bands who have great songs and make great albums. I listed a few above.

Sure wont be taking a dressing down from some guy your age, either
When you're throwing around the Black Keys as some kind of raucous rebellion, I'd beg to differ... the old days dont have to die, someone just needs to step up
