Rock is not about the Rockstars

·


Since the olden ages Man has been interested (say fascinated) by that which he didn’t understand. Such fascination mixed with the excitement of being near pure live music just drives all levels of pleasure up the wall. That is probably why so many people use it. They didn’t get any of their skills by trading souls with the Devil or such; it’s just practice day in and day out.



So then what is Rock?
Is it about the crazy outfits?
Is it about the reckless antics?
Is it about the drug abuse?
Is it about the violent trance?
Is it about the booze and the sex?
Understand something simple but drill it deep into your brain.


Rock isn’t about the Rockstars, Rock is about you.

Rock is the kind of music that goes deep into you and dwells near your very soul.  The kind of music that amplifies your emotions and grows them beyond your imagination.  It makes you jump up and bang your head for no reason except for the fact that you “felt like it”. That’s what Rock is. It isn’t some alien thing that somebody else somewhere else follows. It’s you and it’s always been you.



It’s the stuff that makes you feel as hurt as the first time you fell outta love, as excited as your first kiss and as angry as your last fight all at the same time. It’s the kind of music so filled with emotion that it surpasses all barriers of mind and body. Which is why, you’d totally headbang on to a rock piece even if it’s in a language you don’t understand one word of. When the lyrics don’t speak, the music speaks for itself. That’s beauty at its zenith.



So whenever you feel rock is about wearing certain kind of clothes or talking in a certain way, know you’re absolutely wrong. Rock is about you and always has been.



Rockstars, no matter how good they are they would be totally useless if they didn’t bring that shiver down your spine every time you heard them. You’ve always been the center of each piece of music you heard from the very first time you heard it. Maybe that’s why people confuse it so much with a religion. But it’s not. Unfortunately Rock can’t give or guarantee you salvation.



But it can assure you a hell of a time as long as you’re breathing.
