It doesn’t matter if you are a teenager or an adult. When there is rock music playing, you cannot deny the urge to make a devil horn sign and bang your head. Rock music has been around since the late 1940s, Elvis Presley’s era, the rock and roll king himself. Many are inspired to pick up the guitar and drums and learn how to play them because of him. John Lennon from the Beatles even went insofar and commented, “Before Elvis, there was nothing.” Talk about respect, huh. 
Nowadays, rock bands are everywhere, and rock music has become a genre that transcends both time and age. Big names like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, AC/DC, Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc. Have, in turn, inspired the younger generation of rock bands. The young guns like Weezer and Panic! at the Disco are now taking the front in continuing the rock and roll legacy of the old rock and roll hall of famers.
Maybe you didn’t get the chance to attend it. Don’t worry. We are here to keep you updated with this list of 4 amazing things about their performances:
