    About this ebook

    A guitarist fires off riffs.
    _x000D_ A drummer pounds out primal rhythms.
    _x000D_ Fans scream along to a booming chorus.
    _x000D_ These are the sounds of rock.
    _x000D_
    _x000D_ When rock 'n' roll first shook up young audiences, parents and politicians screamed in protest. But artists soon used the music to make protests of their own. Since rock's birth in the 1950s, its sounds have been blasted from garages to stadiums. The music can be the soundtrack to rebellion, a tool for self-expression, or just a way to bang your head.
    _x000D_
    _x000D_ Find out what inspired rock pioneers to pick up their guitars. Discover the stories of outrageous punks and grungy alternative rockers. And learn more about legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Metallica, and Green Day.
