Why I Will Always Love Rock and Roll Rock music and performing it has always been to me an honest, sensual celebration of life through its ups and downs, a magic pulse bearing gifts for those who understand its truths: a sense of undying youth, freedom, and timeless wonder hidden in a passionate rhythm that could never quite be held down. All for the sake of rock 'n roll and its free raw expression. As a young guitarist I began travelling across the many borders of rock music: I explored the well-crafted pop of the early 80s; then churned out the smashing, grinding riffs of speed metal with the teen band Spellcaster (ha); tore through the fire of thrash in our esoteric high school band Pocketful of... www.billbuck.com /html/rock.html   (522 words)

In the United States it's widely thought that the Britney Spears version of "I love rock n roll" was never released as a single, even though the song was the centerpiece of her film "Crossroads" in the now famous karaoke scene. www.geocities.com /lil_rocker_roller/page2.html   (2067 words)

Amazon.com: I Love Rock N Roll: Music When Joan Jett saw The Arrows perform "I love rock n roll" on televison in the UK in 1975, a light went off in her head that sparked a fire that influnced the sound of the 1980's in a big way. It was replaced by the joyous anthem on this album, the very musical and melodically insinuating "I love rock n roll", now one of the biggest songs of all time in rock music history.

Social Distortion: 'Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll' But on "Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll" Ness completes the journey he so notably advanced on his magnificent 1999 solo disc, "Cheating at Solitaire." To his band's familiar tuneful fury he weds concerns of love, hope, disillusionment and fear. Death is a theme that runs throughout much of "Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll," but it's not the romantic, nihilistic kind that teenagers sing about. Even in his Sick Boy days, Ness was a more thoughtful songwriter than most of his three-chord brethren, obsessed with the consequences of the outlaw life even as he was living out on its thinnest edge. www.azcentral.com /ent/music/articles/1023sociald.html   (343 words)

Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and Plum Street While his role in the turbulence of the love-In may be debated, Sinclair definitely got on the wrong side of the law in his various marijuana convictions, the third of which became a cause celebre across the nation. Their first major enterprise, a Love-In on Belle Isle in 1967, was promoted as a self-policed gentle love-fest, a gathering of flower children, to which the public was invited. TransLove, which advocated free love, marijuana decriminalization, an end to the war in Vietnam and a generally benevolent anarchy, later evolved into the White Panther party, a more distinctly political movement with ties to the Chicago Seven of 1968 Democratic Convention fame. info.detnews.com /history/story/index.cfm?id=136&category=locations   (1912 words)

SOCIAL DISTORTION - SEX, LOVE AND ROCK 'N' ROLL - tastes like chicken For me, Sex, Love And Rock 'N' Roll is another notch in their spiky, studded musical belt.

Music Back in the saddle That’s the line-up behind the current Sex, Love and Rock ’n’ Roll (Time Bomb), the band’s first CD of new material in eight years. So though the band no longer have Sony marketing money behind them, it’s no surprise that rock radio is picking up on their current single, "Reach for the Sky." Like all of their best work, it’s raw yet well-crafted. Love replaces drugs not only in the album title but also in this song — "And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found/And hold you tight ’cause tomorrow may never come" — and in many others here. www.providencephoenix.com /music/other_stories/documents/04203650.asp   (800 words)

Music in the Spotlight The San Diego Union-Tribune The title track is haunting and laced with lament, and "Guilty As Sin" is a particular joy, with echoes of gospel and '70s rock, illustrating again that Chambers is at her sexiest when she's sneering and insolent. Tipping their collective hat to the Sex Pistols and Public Enemy, Liam Howlett and his beat-happy mates mix rap-style vocals with a steady electronica beat in "Girls." But this song and the rest of the album lack the immediacy and rush of gleefully apocalyptic dread that fueled the Prodigy's earlier work. Chambers, an Australian whose 2002 breakthrough, "Barricades and Brickwalls," rang clear as a true original, continues to carve out her personal alt-country niche with "Wayward Angel." Her distinctive voice, which has an amazing way of making squeaky sound sexy and multidimensional, is higher than ever, and her delivery even more delightful. www.signonsandiego.com /uniontrib/20040930/news_lz1w30spot.html   (477 words)

Z Bonia - A Walk Through My Head While "Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll" is fun - mostly because of the Van Wilder-ish gap since their latest album, leaving fans in long-running anticipation - it merely reflects their previous tracks over the past years, offering the style range of a teaspoon.

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts: I Love Rock N' Roll [Bonus Tracks] As the numerous covers she has recorded show, she adheres both to rock tradition and breaks with it -- she plays classic three-chord rock & roll, yet she also loves the trashy elements (in particular, Gary Glitter) of it as well, and she plays with a defiant sneer. Jett's brand of rock & roll is loud and stripped-down, yet with overpowering hooks -- a combination of the Stones' tough, sinewy image and beat, AC/DC chords, and glam rock hooks. By playing pure and simple rock & roll without making an explicit issue of her gender, Joan Jett became a figurehead for several generations of female rockers. www.djangomusic.com /item_music.asp?id=R++++10400   (225 words)

Criminal Records - Social Distortion : Sex, Love And Rock 'N' Roll * Following a layoff of eight years (during which time singer Mike Ness pursued a solo career), SEX, LOVE AND ROCK 'N' ROLL was the group's first foray into the studio since the death of founding guitarist Dennis Danell in 2000. Regardless, the band plays even the poppiest material hard, fast, and loud, as per their pure punk roots, and Ness still concentrates on his perennial lyrical subjects--hard times and the power of rock & roll to see people through their trials and tribulations. While SD was never a stranger to hooks or melody, a couple of tracks here could easily be placed into the repertoire of any number of pop performers and given a convincing high-gloss arrangement. www.buymusichere.net /rel/v2_viewupc.php?storenr=93&upc=70930435472   (307 words)
