Honest question: what would you say differentiates Hard Rock from plain ol' Rock? Just rock that rocks harder but isn't fast enough to be metal?

lovely fan AMV, don't care, rules.

rock is a general term that covers an extremely wide range of things, whereas hard rock is fairly specific.

What things would you consider specific to Hard Rock that would differentiate it from just Rock? Which is to say what makes Rock... Hard?

I don't really understand what the confusion is. Rock music is almost everything featuring a guitar from the 1950s onwards, whereas hard rock is a specific style of rock. like your led zeppelins or your acdcs or whatever.

^ Said it much better than I could!


I've seen Motorhead live (my fav band!), and as we know, Lemmy says "We are Motorhead, and we play rock 'n' roll" (sometimes more colorfully).

he doesn't say that much anymore for some reason

Foo Fighters thread is archived so I figured this thread would be the closest thing to post a new Foo Fighters song in:

They released their debut album today and they've really nailed that unique sound that Rush has. I'm pretty sure they flat out steal the guitar solo from "Farewell to Kings" on this one

so it's not a unique sound at all then?
