	Rock and roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rock and roll (also spelled rock 'n' roll, especially in its first decade), is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in American South in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world.
		Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be heard in rhythm and blues records as far back as the 1920s.
		Early rock and roll combined elements of blues, boogie woogie, jazz and rhythm and blues, and is also influenced by traditional Appalachian folk music, gospel and country and western.

		Detroit rock was simple, hard-driving, and ultra-high-energy; it was also often raw and grimy, prizing attitude far above polish.
		The roots of Detroit rock actually extended out to two nearby cities: the industrial Flint and the college town of Ann Arbor, though the most important performance venues (including the Grande Ballroom) were in Detroit itself.

	Detroit & Southeastern Michigan Rock 'n' Roll: 1966-1972
		The Detroit area rock scene of the sixties didn't begin on urban street corners or around the soot-spewing car factories, although the city's fl and blue-collar elements gave it a breath of life.
		So, while it's called Detroit, it really began in a thousand garages and basements in a hundred surrounding fringe communities where restless teenagers reacted to the British musical invasion pouring out of their AM radios on CKLW and WKNR by picking up instruments and substituting ear-torturing rehearsals for their despair and boredom.
		Though the Detroit rock saga will always be punctuated by far more performers who narrowly avoided success than made it, fortunately much of this great work continues to find its way into the hands of to the bigger audience it deserved more than thirty years ago.

		Like a newer version of Rock 'n' Roll High School, the retro rock comedy Detroit Rock City opened in theaters last August with a distinct thud, unable to capture the imaginations of either today's teens or anyone old enough to remember KISS during their 1970s' glory days.
		Both Simmons and Paul Stanley compare Detroit Rock City to The Wizard of Oz, suggesting that it is KISS that lies at the end of the yellow brick road.

	Detroit Rock City
		Detroit Rock City is a film about four teenaged rockers living in the Cleveland, Ohio suburbs in the late 1970s who are determined to attend a concert in Detroit given by their favorite band, KISS.
		One of the main bands of this rock counterculture was KISS, and their fl and white painted faces, loud music, and anti-establishment attitudes were thought to be the work of the devil by many conservative religious groups.
		For KISS fans of all ages, Detroit Rock City is a video tribute that will join the albums, posters, action figures, and comic books that make up their mystique in the rock music world.

		The Dirtbombs, shown at Detroit's Ghetto Recorders studio, are comprised of some of the city's key garage rock figures.
		The club was a gathering place for future rock stars such as Bob Seger, Glenn Frey and Suzi Quatro, who cut their teeth there with obscure teen bands like the Town Criers, the Four of Us and the Pleasure Seekers, respectively.
		But local rock had fragmented into so many genres that it was difficult for the scene to form a solid foundation.

		But "Detroit Rock City" also wants to be a teen comedy, and in a season of unusually enjoyable (and often surprisingly smart) teen movies like "10 Things I Hate About You" and the sweet-tempered and unfairly maligned "American Pie," it's inferior.
		Although the legendary specter of Kiss hovers benevolently over the whole of "Detroit Rock City," the band appears only briefly, in the film's last few minutes, in a flashily fun concert performance that includes lots of shooting flames and tongue unfurling.
		When the four boys finally reach Detroit, driving along among a throng of Kiss fans, they're entranced by the sight of a lit-up Kiss sign: The scene around them is like fairyland for rock kids.

		Their drive to Detroit is marred by an ugly incident involving a gold Trans-Am containing four disco-loving Italians – one of which (Natasha Lyonne, American Pie) ends up riding with the boys.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Detroit Rock City
		It's 1978, and four Cleveland teens are trying to crash a KISS concert in Detroit to see their idols after their tickets are burned by a religious fanatic parent who swears that the group's name is an acronym for "Knights in Satan's Service" and is a member of M.A.T.M.O.K. (Mothers Against the Music of KISS).
		Edward Furlong, Giuseppe Andrews, Sam Huntington, and newcomer James De Bello are die-hard KISS fanatics and they're determined to attend the concert - whether it involves winning front-row center seats in a radio contest, spiking a teacher's pizza with hallucinogenic mushrooms, stealing a car, selling their bodies, robbing a convenience store, or sneaking by security.
		On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Detroit Rock City" is a lame, loud 1 - one of the most feeble pictures of the year so far.

	Review: Detroit Rock City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Detroit Rock City makes a blatant appeal to the Generation X sense of nostalgia.
		KISS was inarguably one of the biggest rock bands of the late '70s, winning a devout following of teenagers and twenty-somethings with their brand of music.
		During the years when rock fought a pitched battle against disco for airwave dominance, the four members of KISS (Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss) stood on the front lines.

	Detroit area rock 'n' roll bands/musicians 1966 - 1972
		Although Detroit was only a stop-over during the Alice Cooper odyssey, anybody who remembers their startling local shows in the early seventies will attest Alice was another key reason there was no such thing as musical boredom in Detroit.
		Among the first rock groups of this era in the Motor City to land a record deal, their much awaited first album on Mainstream was dreadfully recorded (with all the defects that were typical of the times) and features perhaps one of the ugliest covers ever printed (see image).
		Flaming Ember always proudly declared themselves a Detroit band, comprised of players living in Detroit (within its city limits, not out in the 'burbs or even some other county) and as their assimilation of Motor City soul styles proved, many folks (of all colors) remain convinced the Flaming Ember were anything but four white guys.

		There's an awful lot of rocking out going on in Detroit Rock City, but then rocking out is this occasionally clever but lifeless movie's reason for being.
		The boys are bummed, but after the deus ex machina of a call-in radio promotion, they're back on course, hightailing it for Detroit in the aforementioned Volvo.
		It wouldn't have been very fair to keep the kids out of the arena of their dreams, but it would have definitely made Detroit Rock City a better movie.

		Directed/produced/edited by Benjamin Hernandez, the Detroit Rock Movie is definitely "one of those docu-movies that is quintessential in the archival of a generation's and geographic area's music and culture," as commented by a friend of mine.
		That was the pre-garage era Detroit when there were all sorts of different indie/noise/punk/space rock/ (and yes) some garage acts (namely the Snitches, the Hentchmen, the Detroit Cobras and the Demolition Dollrods).

		Something of a religious fruit loop, she is so against rock and roll that Jam is forced to hide his records in unusual record covers - with some painful results for his mother and as a result himself.
		What stands out here is some of the finest rock music from the late 1970's ever to grace a film soundtrack.
		What we have here is the song Detroit Rock City from the ending of the film presented with a choice of four angles to watch the song by or a fifth angle showing all four angles at once.

		Edward Furlong, as the band's singer, is his usual scruffy self and exudes his particular lopsided charm; the rest of the cast play their parts with similar high spirits.
		What ensues are the kids going on a trip to Detroit to get to the conert, and go through tons of whacked out hijinks and many a joint in the process.
		It's hard to classify Detroit Rock City as a coming of age movie..., but the movie works and is very funny without going over the line of absurdity...DVD features are worth noting as well; you get three seperate commentaries, music videos, and some multiple angle features as well.

		If visitors from another planet had Detroit Rock City as their only clue to the human race, they would wonder how creatures of such low intellect ever discovered electricity or internal combustion.
		They would also conclude that age and status shrink brain power, because grown-ups and authority figures are even dopier than the kids in this loud, profane, sexist, homophobic and sometimes very funny rock ’n’ roll movie.
		They are looking forward to a night in nirvana at a Kiss concert in Detroit, until Jam’s ultra-conservative mother (Lin Shaye of Something About Mary fame) burns the tickets.

		The four heroes are members of a teen metal band called Mystery (written in the same font as the letters of Kiss, lest anyone mistake their source of inspiration).
		The jokes are broad and the movie culminates in an orgy of male adolescent wish-fulfilment, but here and there some loving attention is paid to the details of 1970s teenage life--the haircuts, clothes, and toys the film-makers probably had when they were kids.
		Though Detroit Rock City was probably meant to be a no-holds-barred comedy in the vein of American Pie, the end result is curiously wistful; no one's going to mistake it for The Last Picture Show, but something sincere and elegiac lurks in those bang-covered eyes.

		The movie’s title alone will get any Kiss fan antsy, as it is also the title of one of the band’s best songs ever recorded, the opener of their phenomenal “Destroyer” album and the opening song of a great many Kiss live shows.
		The four teenagers are raving members of the Kiss Army, the band’s official fanclub, and of course dream of their own career in the centerstage limelight of Rock’n Roll.
		New Line’s release of “Detroit Rock City” is a Platinum Series release that contains a number of exciting extras many of which will be especially interesting to the Kiss fans among the DVD aficionados.
