Sometimes, yes.

[Spongie]

Some of it, sure. But that’s okay. I have to be smart at work. I’d go to a RATT show for dumb fun.

Pop country and rap, by the way, are nectar of the American moron.

[Rocker4Real]

Some Prog Rock tries to be smart.

I'd say Rush succeeds in being pretty smart.

[SchenkerFan]

Certain bands like AC/DC, KISS, Ted Nugent, etc. tend to attract a disproportionate amount of dumb people.

Kid or Bob?

If, as in "dumb as a rock?", then yes. See Bobby Blotzer for example.

Kid or Bob?

Dwayne Johnson.

Dwayne Johnson.

Amber Glenn at a skating event. Google her.

Not as dumb as hip-hop. Nowhere close. (Not all hip-hop, of course).

Thank you. Cant believe that using the Google image reverse lookup could not find anything.

Extraordinarily.


This whole thing is a psyop.

The best kind of rock is dumb. Example: Kiss. Kiss was at their best when they were basically apes with instruments.

Grand Funk Railroad's "We're an American Band" is possibly the dumbest song ever written and it is also one of the greatest. If you told me you had to play a race of aliens one rock song and you picked "We're an American Band," I would say it was a fine choice.

Totally. I Love Rock N Roll or Jumpin Jack Flash or Icky Thump. The very best shit is caveman simple.

Is rock dumb?

Tuff is.

[Black Stuff]

yes. next Q? Is Sebitchian dumb? Same answer!

[DonJuanDeMarco]

Hippy Hippy Shake
Tutti Frutti
Shake Rattle and Roll
Twist and Shout

“Dumb” meaning simple, yeah sure. But that’s how it goes man. 3 chords and a beat. If you gotta think too hard, it ain’t rock & roll.

From Almost Famous

You know, these are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of rock stars. And they will ruin rock 'n' roll, and strangle everything we love about it, right? You know, because they're trying to buy respectability for a form that is gloriously and righteously dumb. Now, you're smart enough to know that. And the day it ceases to be dumb is the day that it ceases to be real, right? And then it just becomes an industry of cool.

[TeslaFan]

I don't think so. It's been used to make money, get famous, bang porn chicks, and travel the world.
Sounds like just the opposite to me

[Aerosmith87]

A lot of it is dumb, but that's half the fun of it. It could provide a temporary escape from all the other dumb stuff in life.

I don't think so.
It's our life. All of us that are left here on Metal Sludge, and all that were here before.
I don't have a single long time friend, or friend at all, that isn't because of rock n roll music.
I have acquaintances I guess, but not actual friends.

The best time of my life was mid to late 80's.
But I have always loved rock and roll. 50's. 60's, 70's and 80's.
The 90's started to suck. I hated heroin music.
