Roll Bands

Here are some more information for Roll Bands:

Hope you are Lovin Life...! It's all about the journey. I want to talk to you about Dee Snider and his radio show "House of Hair".

Dee started as a member of an 80's band called "Twisted Sister", he was the frontman and Lead singer. Dee and the boys wore makeup and Great clothes, they were the appitamy of Rock along with Kiss and Alice Cooper! They Rocked New York - Manhatten - Long Island and the World...! Now Dee has a radio show called "House of Hair" and plays all the great 80's music which they were the Kings of... and gives us information on the groups of the time, plays underground bands, gives us more information, and he just has Rock 'N Roll in his heart...! You gotta love it!

If you are a young player looking for inspiration of the past that started all of this creative Rock 'N Roll Music, please listen to Dee, Inspiration is so hard to find! I was lucky to meet Dee once and he was so sincere and a great human being...! Dee looks at the underground not everything popular' that's why people appreciate his opinion!

But I must admit on October 6th, 2007 he played on the "House of Hair" my band Axe's biggest single "Rock and Roll Party in the Streets". Actually I could'nt beleive it, my nephew was with me in Chicago and we were going to his gig at the DoubleDoor and his band Slinky Styles was headlining and they Rocked...!

Dee's band Twisted Sister went through all the Rock 'N Roll challenges too and WON...!!! That's hard to do! I loved A.j. Pero, J.J. French, Mark Mendoza, and Eddie "fingers" Ojech... and Eddie Kramer the guru of production helped them, Twisted Sister was a GREAT Rock 'N Roll band!! "I Wanna Rock" is the all time classic Anthem! It doesn't get better than that, at least I haven't heard it! And Dee, I want to thank you for still playing "Rock and Roll Party in the Streets" on the "House of Hair"! That was my band Axe's biggest song and it is a fun Rock'N Roll anthem! And "Thank You" for keeping Rock alive, Your the Best!

So if you don't know about "House of Hair" call your local radio stations and find out where it's playing... and tune in...! If your a Rocker, you won't be disappointed! Young musicians, listen, learn, and give us the new talent we need, we're watching...

My Definition of Rock and Roll

"Rock and roll is sexual energy expressed in sound"

It all started with "Elvis the Pelvis". Why do you think all the girls started fainting all over this country when they heard Elvis' voice for the first time? It was because nobody had ever heard a man sing something like "All Shook Up" and it shook them to the core. Being sexy like that just came naturally for Elvis and the girls picked up on it immediately like some kind of sexual email was being sent directly into their brains! Other rock and roll stars followed in Elvis' steps very quickly. Jerry Lee Lewis knew what to do and he got himself into a great big ball of fire with his underage lover. Chuck Berry was another natural, and he also created some serious trouble simply because he was black and the white girls went for him big time. I think that may have been the first time that the pathetic and hung up white male population had to deal with the racial sex issue at this level.

Then The Beatles exploded. It was the Elvis phenomenon again except that all The Beatles really did was sing like gods, shake their mop top heads around and look adorable, and thousands of girls got wet panties at the very same time. The effect was enhanced by their memorable simple love songs because those young girls who were coming of age and dreaming about falling in love connected on the emotional level too. At first all they needed to write was "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Please Please Me" and millions of girls wanted to please them and hold something of theirs. The sexual message in their music was often very subtle but Ringo's driving beat made them want to get up and shake it all around.

Mick Jagger was another natural, just like Elvis. Right from the beginning, "The Lips" knew how to give and get Satisfaction and he followed that up with a long series of balls to the wall hits with strong sexual messages like "Play with Fire, "Live With Me" and the all time classic musical expression of sex, "Going Home". Strangely enough, it wasn't Mick who actually got all the girls into bed, it was Bill Wyman, the Stones' bass player. In his autobiographical book Bill told all, and his groupies totaled in the thousands. He never made it clear in his book exactly why that happened to him and not the same way to Mick who must have gotten and still be getting whoever he really wants to have. But it did happen and all Bill ever did was stand there completely still and play his bass guitar looking sort of sad and forlorn. There simply has to be a logical explanation for Bill's success, and I think I know what it is. (Don't ask, I won't tell).

Not much needs to be said about that most powerful sexual dynamo, Jim Morrison, who told all the girls to "Come on Baby Light My Fire" and before fainting dead away, they did whatever he wanted them to do. I'm not sure how many net surfers understand what "Back Door Man" is all about but the song itself says "the men don't know but little girls understand". Enough said on that one.

And then came Jimi Hendrix. The pun is intended. Jimi had to have been the sexiest black musician of all time and few girls didn't want to be his "Foxy Lady". They actually used to line up outside his dressing room backstage and Jimi would come out and choose one or more at a time. He was another one who simply couldn't help himself, although he did understand exactly what he was doing and why. Later on in his career he stopped his sexy performance on purpose because he was a serious musician who wanted people to appreciate his playing and his songwriting for being as creative as it was. He felt that his sex show was getting in the way of that kind of appreciation so after the Experience broke up, he pretty much stood still playing with his eyes shut because he didn't even want to see the girls out there anymore.

I believe the best example of sexual energy expressed in sound is Led Zeppelin. Whenever they played live Jimmy Page seemed to stagger around the stage as if he was drunk, but he wasn't drunk. It was just that the hurricane of sexual force that blew out of his amp was too much for even Jimmy to withstand. Now I'm sure that most people are aware that rhythmically beating drums awaken the sexual forces. Africans were despised and envied by white people because of the sexual way they danced to their own drum music. John Bonham, who was unquestionably the best rock and roll drummer who ever walked the face of this planet, pounded his drums with such power that Led Zep's sexual energy increased dramatically. Irresistible sexual energy in their music is only one of the many good reasons why I say that Led Zeppelin is the #1 Rock and Roll Band of All Time.

what's the difference between rock and rock n roll music?can u tell me great rock n roll bands or artists?

AND ALSO WHY ARE SOME SONGS FROM THE BEATLES CONSIDERED POP?

Rock I think is the general term for every subgenre.

Rock and Roll is a subgenre of Rock which was one of the first Rock genres. I think Elvis, the Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry are Rock and Roll, but I might be wrong.

THE BEATLES HAVE TOUCHED DIFFERENT GENRES, INCLUDING POP. PROBABLY SOME SONGS THAT WERE MORE MAINSTREAM THAN THE OTHERS...

(lol I type in Caps like you)

Cats, chicks, rods and rock - this band's got it all
ROCKABILLY trio The Sky Rockats are in the unique position of being one of the few Warrnambool bands that plays the bulk of their gigs outside the south-west.

Thanks for visiting!
