rock has nothing to do with Linkin Park
Rock is-Creed,U2,Manowar

JenRN · 03-20-2003, 06:21 PM

Rock to me is Creed, Metallica, Audioslave, Nickleback etc.... rock to me is music with heavy guitar riffs and a STRONG lead singer who can pull off any kind of medoy! Rock music speaks to you, it makes you want to get up and JAM!

There are a lot of Rock groups I like classics like Zepplin, to new rock like Creed. Rock is not the "new wave" of music that comes out like Linkin Park or Limp Bizcut

A lot of people think of that is rock but to me it is not! When Creed came out in 1997 I was thrilled beyond belief because it was what I was waiting for, for sooo long!

Like Tremonti has said in many interviews
"We are the old school rock everyone has been waiting for!" And I agree with him!

the basics of rock is a guitar and bass and a drum set. does not matter about vocals. rock is different in a way from classic rock, rock n' roll, and all that. Rock sometimes has distored guitars or bass. that destortion can be heavy, like in metal or light like in DSD or no distortion at all like lullaby or darkness from disturbed. You can have solos on bass, drums, or guitars. if you are adding a dj or mc and techno effects then you are going into a hybrid of rock and another genre but not rock it self. Also lyrics like BSB, nsync, and well you know are automatically pop. There is a certain way of writing that is invovled with rock becuase some things do not sound right when add with a rock sound and it is easily noticed. Some good band the represent rock is Metallica, Creed, Audioslave, Slayer, Pantera, Disturbed, Puddle of Mudd, Staind, Cold, etc..... i hope that makes sense.:band:

Linkin Park/Limp Bizkit=rap rock
Slayer/Iron= metal

I like your explanation, Unforgiven.

"Rock" cannot be quantified by a musical style or set of instruments. "Rock" is an attitude, a style all its own.

Siana · 03-21-2003, 06:53 PM

well said
