It is quite logical that the classic is eternal and will never get out of fashion. Like nothing else, classic rock music matches this expression very well. Years and decades passed, rock stars become certain grandpa-veterans, but they are still the idols of the size that they used to be in the past. They are still young for us! Moreover, the music they created - in general, is out of the reach of aging and remains an unchanging standard of being the legend for others. Love and high admiration from the younger generation to the old rock music icons - that's the confirmation!
The dramatic sound of the electric guitar, a rhythmic and sometimes even minor track of bass guitars, dynamic drums is the invariable attributes of this particular musical genre. Or, at least it's foundation. And, of course, it is obligatory the presence of the charismatic personality of the lead vocalist, the deep sense of the texts and the very emotions of the songs that we find so similar to our own experiences. Though this is far from a descriptive description of each rock band, however, you will agree, in part, this stereotype must exist. These, simple, at first glance, components have created the whole era and made it possible for the best representatives of rock music to conquer many hearts and continue to do it infinitely!
'When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.' - is what Jimi Hendrix claimed and it turned out the inevitable truth.
For some reason, rock music is for the hurt, the broken, and anybody else that can handle it. “Pop music often tells you everything is OK, while rock music tells you that it's not OK, but you can change it.”- Bono.
