Rock rocks??
during this ongoing festival in my college "synapse", today there was this rock competiton. Some 4-5 teams came to participate. i did went to see that program. (coz it allows us to have dome shouting, hooting, passing stupid comments n of course seeing some beautiful faces in the audience). but these are some of the things i did't understand..
1) why do the performeres wear only black t-shirts ?
2) are long hair Necessary?? does that make u think like a musician?
(is there some kind of dress code for rock bands??)
2) except for the band, does anybody understand the lyrics??
3)how many of the audience had ever heared these songs before??
4) is it really necessary for the singers to shout at top of ther voices while singing??
5) does one become a zombie ones he starts liking rock??
6) Is it sane enough to call it music??
7) is it call rock coz it makes ppl wanna throw rocks at the performers??
8) why do these ppl take half n hr in testing the sound system?
9)how does speaking "Check check" in a dozen of ways helps..?
10)how does one judges such a programme?.. its just a question.. which one was bad n which one was worse..!

1) Maybe, the songs that they sing are quite dark themed, and overflowing with pessimistic lyrics. Dark t-shirts would be hint at that.
2) Can't say if long hair is necessary or not. But, no harm in keeping them either (Offlate, I've been growing hair too :p). Long hair is not a rock band dress code. It is just a fashion statement. Why, even instrumental performers like Yanni and Kenny G sport long hairs for that matter.
2) Yes, they do. And quite easily most of them make great deal of sense.
3) I guess if you're an ardent ROCK fan, you would've heard of those songs.
4) Some songs do require that. Depends on the song.
5) Nope. Apparently, maybe. But not essentially.
6) It is.
7) No, its not. Rock is a generic term for the range of styles that evolved out of rock'n'roll since the 50's.
8) Hmm... technical glitches.
9) Should be for some reason. Not sure hence can't answer that.
10) The same way one judges classical music or popular music. Go by the quality of music, stage presence of the performers, audience acceptance, innovation and variety.
I hope I've tried my best to answer all your questions. And yeah, there sure are great rock songs which'll fix you to the stereo forever :-)
thnkx for responding so elobratly to the comments..
i guess its jst a matter of choice.. one man's meat may be another's poison..
but i still stick to my " i hate rock" theory
