Summary: Rock and roll is a style of music typified by loud, distorted guitars and bombastic drumming. The genre’s roots stem from the old blues music of Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, as well as the darker sounds of the Doors which later inspired other bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden incorporated many classical constructions to their music, creating an aggressive and intricate sound. When it comes to rock music, the guitar and drums dominate the sound and the louder the music, the better. Theatrics are a big part of rock music as well and it is not uncommon to see pyrotechnics and props used on stage at a concert. There have been many different rock and roll movements over the years and we are all looking for the next wave of great rock music.
