    It will be simpler to understand it if I just define False Rock. For me it's purely subjective or more simply "Rock" music that I do not like. I'm throwing up the Mano Cornuda when I say Death to False Rock where as you and Dookey Wayne seem to be interpreting it as something else.

    The wider used of the term False Rock refers to corporate bands, clones, poseurs etc.



    I put the Duane Eddys and Chuck Berry's etc. heads above Nirvana, AIC, Rage etc.. Chuck Berry is the king of the double stop which is my personal go-to lick. Billy Zoom is one of my top guitar players and he's the white Chuck Berry.. I far prefer the traditional stuff - Rockabilly, traditional Country infused shuffle etc. Absolutely love The Ventures and much of the great surf, modern (Los Straightjackets) or originals. I might still have a sunburn from awaiting Link Wray at Riverfest 10 years ago.




    ELP, Yes and Gentle Giant are of no use to me.
    I like some metal but not most of it.

    I know what rock is. It's not classified by what YOU like, it's also not classified by who you think are "posers".

    Musicians are musicians, and genres are genres.

    I would define "false rock" as being a band hired to play music that they did not write which was recorded in a studio that they did not pay for and which may possibly include musicians that they have not met and being promoted with someone else's advertising budget in all sorts of media by a record label that nearly everyone has heard of.

    The giveaways are these conditions:

    1- Songs are about situations that the band members are way too young to actually have experienced or understand
    2- None of the band members are ugly or even averagely blemished.

    Regarding punk:
    Punk is a musical art form entirely devoted to antiestablishmentarianism and is most often associated with boisterous or even violent opposition to the political landscape that the band is feeling oppressed by. Punk does not recognize record execs, Billboard charts or any form of awards ceremony. A punk band with a popular album is not considered to be "selling out" ; it is instead (quite rightfully) recognized as having a message that is being heard and accepted by the masses, i.e. building an army of revolutionaries.

    Not only were the Sex Pistols ugly, but they had a bassist who was so bad that guitar-stacking was used to bury his instrument in the mix. This later became a standard practice in studios the world over.

    I doubt there's any Sid left on that record.. They brought original bassist Glenn Matlocke (who Johnny hated because he was too much of a "musician") to re-track along with Steve Jones playing some bass. If you listen to the record, the bass is far too competent to be Sid..
