Out of all the sub-genres of Rock and Roll I chose classic rock. I am a big fan of classic rock because I love the instruments and the sound. One of my favorite bands would have to be Led Zeppelin. Classic Rock bands tend to be quite loud selecting instruments primarily from Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Piano, and Electric Guitar. Almost always there is a Singer and some type of Guitar. The Guitar is often plugged into some type of amplification system for a louder noise. Typically, classic rock bands perform in front of a lot of people in venues that are built to equip them with the feeling of a concert. Going to a rock concert you can expect to leave not being able to hear too well. The singer is usually the center of attention for the bands while they are in concert. The other members of the band don’t participate in the entertainment of the crowd quite as much as the singer in most cases. The pace of their music or the tempo is generally faster paced than most, but there are so many different classic rock songs that it is hard to identify one speed. Back to performances, audiences of classic rock concerts are not one specific age I would say that it is between 20 and 50. Led Zeppelin is and was a very popular band and I decided to link the song Stairway to Heaven because I love it and it is a perfect example of classic rock.
