>he's one of the many originators or rock n roll
which is dead

it's only resting, will never die

So is your love life, only difference is rock and roll still matters.

He liked to fart and piss on chicks

No Chuck Berry
>No Rolling Stones
Is the simple way to look at it.

But he encapsulated what "the blues" was as a hip, outrageous and the time anti-establishment musical movement for the swinging sixties.

The music of black America i.e "The blues" has had a profound effect of British culture.

Taken up by native Brits and it gave them a voice - they previously did not have - a vehicle to express themselves - with a heart thumping power and raucousness, it was all in part of the "youth culture" that "the Beatles" and the like inherited.

This short documentary is a great context for the cultural exchange the music gave to the late 50s and early 60s post-war Britain.

It's only15 mins long - worth your time.

Difficult to believe how far black music (culture) has fallen.

Music is reflective of the world surrounding it.

...omg I think I might just be a philosopher

Man what is wrong with you

My ding a ling will never be the same

enjoy your ban

who cares? yeah he died but it's not like he was making hits in the past few years and it's not like he was doing anything relevant. his music is still around so shut the fuck about this berry nigger

Well fucking said, m8.

Who doesn't?

Not really Rock isn't the blues like black people like to pretend it is. It's one influence of many and that's it. Blacks like to pretend blues and rock are one in the same, it's pathetic.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT

That's Chuck Berry farting in a hooker's mouth

The genre of Rock has many branches - the roots of music are deep indeed - Beethoven is a pretty good heavy metal artist

But the Blues is the seed that grew the influence of what would become rock, Jazz is floating in the ether in the background.
But the striking simplicity of the blues- gave it a boundless appeal to groups and performers such as Led Zepplin - Eric Clapton - The Beatles - The rolling stones - Bob Dylan you could strike names off all day of popular artists that became heavily influenced by the music genre known as "the blues"

FUCKING ELVIS

>Finishes lame speech

What do you consider the key influences of Rock music?

To be honest you sound like you wanna have a fight, fair enough.

Awesome man - minus the yoko

Bro fist

Rock started off very anti jazz
one other major influence was folk not jazz
