  • @ThousandClaws Hey man glad you said that. Actualy rocks roots were very black as blues and rock was born from black music. Most if this music is as if black guys had kept playing from 1965 onward. Listen to howlelin wolf and you see the start of black rock handed offt to whites. Blacks started this revolution lets keep it going

  • There are plenty of 'black' rock artists that are famous: Jimi Hendrix (aka god), chuck berry, living colour, bad brains.....But yeah Rap music Fuckin sucks.....ROCK N ROLL FOREVER MUTHAFUCKAS!!!!.....

  • i like rock not into metal and punk.

  • Same

  • damnit i was hoping to see the actuall movie.

  • i know when you tell black people u like rock its almost as if your coming out of a closet to them its literally that shocking..

  • im sure at every rock concert there are at least a few black people..

  • I KNOW!!!! That is SO true! It's better to listen to all kinds of music than just what one deems as "culturally acceptable"

  • Most blacks don't even play blues anymore,and that was the whole roots of rock n roll.

  • Sounds like Sevendust to me
