Think about it, the three ultimate symbols of boring ol' rock were called Jim: Hendrix, Page and Morrisson.

Gene or Jim. It's as simple as that.

YOu've got to be making a joke. Gene Simmons?! Fucking "rock 'n' roll?!" Dude was a total fucking pompous cunt. There was nothing rock 'n' roll about the prick. He is simply an enormous sellout. As for Hendrix, Page and Morrisson - they were all fantastic at what they do, and all more 'rock 'n' roll' than motherfucking Gene Simmons.

Completely wrong. COMPLETELY!

Rock n Roll (and thus good):

Rock (and thus VERY bad):

Sorry, when I plug in my ol' guit I think to myself "let's fucking rock" not "rock 'n roll." In fact, I still don't understand this rock/rock 'n roll distinction. The Stooges are rock 'n roll? Raw Power is the definitive rock album, if you ask me.

There 's another crucial thing that differentiate the rocker from the rock & roller: The fact that the rocker will try to communicate something deep in an officious kind of way, while the rock & roller will throw the message in, while the fun is still going on.


Rocker example: Lou Reed since Street Hassle has been the way too self-conscious rocker who's pompous and dull.

I call it the definitive rock and roll album. But you can go ahead and call it what you want.

The way you do the things you do
Makes me wanna be with you-hou-hou
Rave on it's a crazy feelin'
And you know it's gotten me reelin'
When you say, "I love you"
Oh rave on to me.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to the ikara cult again.

I'd say a rocker is someone who listens to a lot of "rock" a "rock and roller" listens to things that are in the spirit of rock and roll.

So count me in as a rock and roller. Nickelback is rock, Sonic Youth is Rock AND ROLL.
