Each of us has our own idea of rock music. Someone equates this genre to classics, and someone criticizes it mercilessly. Being a great lover of rock music, I have been trying to figure out, what the positive and negative aspects of it are enclosed in. The most vivid and broad field of study for me is rock concerts. The first show in my life was a concert given by American nu-metal band Limp Bizkit. It’s difficult for me to point out the brightest moment of the show, because everything, that was happening on stage and in the hall was just beyond description! Live and powerful music, musicians’ communication with the audience, phrases in Russian, flying from the mouth of Fred Durst-all these pleased me very much. The concert made masses of people a united, happy family. We were all singing the songs together, smiling each other, taking photos. I learned, that many fans of the band have gained a lot of interesting hobbies, as learning the English language, playing the musical instruments, just after getting acquainted with it’s songs.
I was lucky enough to go to the concerts of other American bands, as Korn and 30 seconds to mars, and I’d like to say, that with every new show I got more and more fond of this kind of music. For me it’s not just an art form. It’s a hobby, philosophy, psychology, and, as Kurt Cobain said, «it’s simply a conversation of ordinary guys». . перевод в комментарии скину
