I’m a black and a metalhead.🤘🏾🖤 My Ivorian mother was religious and didn’t get it. Love my heavy metal!
Same here my friend🖤 sometimes I listen to heavy metal but then I listen to music like Nirvana Foo fighters and Primus ha but the thing is my grandparents and my family are also really big Christians and they don't get it either in a way they seem like it but it's weird lol it's driving me nuts I just want to listen to rock and maybe become the next NIRVANA my respect to you rock on🖤
I’m Christian and I love metal and alternative rock💗💗Alice In Chains is my favorite
Same I love rock music too 🤟🏾⚡️🖤
This meeting about black people loving rock music shouldn't even happen it's our birthright because it came from us I don't even know what the point of this meeting is
based
I am a black man and I love heavy music since I was a child. My heroes were Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, Deep Purple, Rush, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest. Funny thing is that I am Brazilian and I hate samba, hip hop and MPB, but I love Rock, Metal, Blues, Jazz, R & B / Soul and so on. Blacks can also hear rock
Yeah man, you had a big band like Sepultura! Cheers from Patagonia, Argentina, viva el Rock!
And maybe some ‘System of a down’ perhaps?
Awesome! I’m glad you like rock and metal, I hate hip hop and rap. You’ve got a friend in me!
Me neither, I like samba and pagode but I hate funk, RAP and hip hop.
I know your black but the Brazilian part got me thinking. Poc In the us all love rap and hate rock which is fine but REAL mexicans love rock! Like in Mexico and latin America and South America rock is one of the biggest genres
I'm black, I listen to rock and I also feel like it's like that starter pack for like 2000s where you listen to something like Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin or like Three Days Grace. It's just part of my character ever since. I used to shy away from it when I was way younger like in elementary school or middle school, but high school was that phase where "I dont care if anyone questions this, if I want the rock I want the rock. Give me my rock bro." Persona 5 was like where I just suddenly like to pick up more genres like jazz and also swing and acoustic music too.
Mate listen to 60s and 70s.thin lizzies is banging yo! With black UK singer!
I'm a white guy. I feel like musical tastes are developed by your environment, mostly. I strangely love to hear that some black folks like white music even though it's grounded in black culture. Like any art form, it is morphed over time to new and intreresting things and it's fascinating to see the branches grow on the tree.
Black people should listen to Rock because it came from them.
Yeah, I mean black people literally invented a new genre back then, but nowadays rock music is whole another genre
@@bogodargnatiuk5300 Rock is different that completely made by whites.
@@bogodargnatiuk5300 rock is dead now because of whites
@@West-Telecom man what the hell are you talkin about rock and roll music was made by a black woman sister Rosetta tharpe you people don't know a damn thing and you think you know but you don't really know anything at all and if you think I'm lying about what I said look it up on CZcams there's a full documentary on sister Rosetta tharpe and she's in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and she's the queen of rock and roll the f*** out of here!!
The beautiful thing about rock is it has no formula and has no race. Besides jazz it’s the least corporate genre. I love how when I go to rock or metal concerts I see more black people every time. Unfortunately hip hop and rap has become less of an art and more of a business. I feel like if the stigma that rock isn’t “black” wasn’t so prevelant in the black community there would be a lot more diversity in rock and a wider appreciation for music in general. Music heals all
I think imma stick with 21 pilots
I hope my fellow black people realize that rock n roll is their heritage. and there are clear facts about this comparing to other fantasies.
trough our church music came music like blues jazz and rock n roll. remember that.
So blacks invented all music now lol? Stop it. It's an inferiority complex you guys have.
@@sj4632 what i am saying is.. black artist are the influences of modern music such as pop and rocknroll. i am not saying we invented all music thats just stupid. but do your research. white people definitely carried the music along with their background and culture and made it their own but we cannot forget to be thankfull to the real influence.
@@sj4632 also my comment is more directed toward black people and maybe people like you who haven't done enough research. me myself i listen to all genre of music even metal and i know where its from but it all came through thanks to blues and jazz
@@sj4632 Chuck Berry was the father of rock n roll and Jimi Hendrix revolutionized the sound of it. Straight up facts man.
This is actually a very true comment. I am black and I actually didn't know about this at all until I read up on this stuff this year during quarantine...Not going to say blacks invented music but if you dig deep enough pop, rock, etc. has black roots. It's crazy because young black kids in the hood think that's white music, when it actually is part of their history! Read "ripping off black heritage" by Margo Jefferson. Peace and Love
I need my people to remember WE INVENTED ROCK N'ROLL. Elvis is not the king. When yt whitewashed Rock n Roll we felt it wasn't ours anymore and we have been pigeonholed into hip hop. But actually we invented the majority of not all of American Popular Music. Jazz, Rnb, Funk, Soul, Electronic, Blues, Rock, etc.
I thought rock music was about the free spirit.. It seems to me you are trapped in a inferiority complex. Relax!
Look, no one will deny the huge influence of hendrix and chuck b. Had to music in general.
But don't you think that argument could easily adapt to the bachs or mozarts?
Music is a combination of a bunch of genres and styles mixed together. And at some point those styles evolved into something totally different.
My point is, don't get too hang out on who brought what first. For my own peace of mind and yours, lets just enjoy music 😊
I agree, firstly I am white and from Manchester, England. I have for a long time propounded that Elvis was not the "King of Rock n Roll" and that the "Holy Trinity of Rock n Roll" were Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. Others of course will see it different but these three guys embodied what the original Rock n Roll was.
Elvis is king and blame yourself for "ROCK's WHITE GENRE"
@@West-Telecom sdfu
@@goonn337 Same to you "baran".
rock music literally came from us so idk why were so ashamed to listen to jt
my point exactly. It's like RnB and Hip hop nowadays.
Exactly!Our own folks act like if we aren’t gravitated towards R&B and hip hop then we’re whitewashed and that’s not true.
Maybe because all the artist is white idk 🤷🏾♂️
@@ibrahimnorwood259 there are a lot of black people in the scene too
@@mrslaflame7516 Exactly! I listen to many rock artists that are black.
I love I found this video!! I'm 52 yo black woman & I've been listening to Rock, Heavy Metal, Black Metal, Punk, etc. all my life!! I'm so pleased to see a group of us that feel & and thrive from this music!!
None of my black friends listened to rock. I was the only one and was an outcast because of it.
I grew up in the hood. Listened to rock/metal. I know the feeling. Stay up.
I loooooveee rock music...Foo Fighters......Nirvana...INXS.... Green Day, oh my goodness Duran Duran etc,,, I love this The Cranberries
You must be my long lost sister. I love ALL of those bands....esp Duran Duran and Foo Fighters
Those are all good artist but INXS and Duran Duran are new wave sweetheart LOL not rock and roll and I love those bands don't get me wrong but I am a true metal and classic rock head so I know my music when it comes to that type of music I grew up on all that music when it was coming out back in the day's 😉
@Ronald Williams I love classic rock too. I love seeing us as black folk staying in the genre and doing their thing...awesome!
I'm in full agreement. I'm a evanescence, nickleback, bloodhound gang, nirvana, Lincoln park fan. I could go on for days. I also enjoy classical.
"Lincoln park" 😂
@@Lilbroda they're dope imo. To each his own.
@@lunarnature412I think he was laughing at the incorrect spelling since you said "Lincoln" its actually supposed to be "Linkin Park" but its all good these keyboards be trippin all the time lol also i love Linkin Park too The Hybrid Theory and Meteora albums are timeless, Figure 09 is my favorite song from them too. I listen to Evanescene too mostly the Fallen album i'll never forget the day i first heard "Bring me to Life" as a kid it stuck with me eversince especially the chorus
I remember in middle school I got made fun of for liking metal. A white kid wearing a Master P t-shirt asked me "You're black, why don't you listen to rap?" I could of said you're white, why don't you listen to rock but I kept my mouth shut and laughed at his dumbass.
lol
Blink 182 & limp Bizkit shifted me to listen to Rock Music... Linkin Park concerted it for me
I'm black and as a singer, I sing some Rock music sometimes. That would include Boston, Journey, Aerosmith, Foreigner and some more. This is a genre that more black people need to get into. We shouldn't limit ourselves to just Gospel, R&B, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop/Rap and Reggae. Why can't we black people spread our wings more and do Rock, Country, Regular Pop, Folk and many more??? Rock music, in particular, needs to be spoken about much more by us black people.
I'm a black woman in my mid 30s and listen to rock all the time...i just listened to an entire Boston album while cleaning my house...black ppl do need to expand their horizons when it come to all genres of music.
@@saramatthews7159 The black society shouldn't think it is wrong.
Also blacks created house/techno aswell
Wow bro you mentioned a lot of great bands Boston Aerosmith Foreigner and journey all classic band's that I grew up on and still listen to this very day and still own on a lot of wax! lol
@@saramatthews7159 that's what I'm talkin about 👍💯💯🥁😩🥁 more than a feeling hitch a ride rock and roll band!
I had Radiohead and Erykah Badu on rotation back in the day.
I do think whites like Elvis for example did take a lot from Black music but he did mix it with Rockabilly and country, creating a newer sound.
Yup. People can't seem to realize that there has never been one single progenitor or creator of any culture. Shit is always granular and taking some influence from somewhere else as a catalyst.
In the 1980s I didn't hang with white kids to start listening to rock. I watched Friday Night Videos and MTV and became a fan.
Bad Brains one of my favorite hardcore rock band with black vocalist
Bro bad brains are a punk band not a rock band they are punk and reggae music me and my cousin Darren used to go see them back in the 80s we were very much in to bad brains so we know we were both into punk music and rock and roll and still are to this very day
Rock music is their birthright. It is history not a mystery.
It’s so upsetting that black people don’t understand that every popular genre that we hear today came from black people. Even classical music has now been heavily influenced by our culture. The Godfather of rock, the man that laid down the foundation for rock, was a black man named Robert Johnson. Rock became whiter because whites took the music and styles from black people and also kept them from mainstream media and different opportunities to expose people THEIR genre of music. We have to look at Chuck Berry, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Big Momma Thornton, Memphis Minnie and Little Richard to see the people who came before the modern face of rock, were playing the best piano and guitar licks you’ll ever hear and it all influences the rock and roll you hear today. And another thing, Country music was also invented by us which steamed from blues. Ragtime, Swing, Jazz, the popular traditional gospel/contemporary gospel you hear, even in white churches, all came from us. The popular hymn, “Amazing Grace’s” notes are used from the “slave scale”. Everything stems from us, and we need to appreciate ourselves and the many contributions our ancestors made. We must educate ourselves on our contributions so that people can’t take credit from our ancestors hard work that they were cheated out of and often forgotten for. We are an amazing group of people, let’s remember it.
I agree with everything you said but I don’t understand the classical music part.
Agreed
In your dreams.Ok ???
It didn't come from black people. They played an important role as did others, but to pretend that they just pulled this stuff out of nowhere magically is just plain wrong.
@@douglas_fir yes it did come from black people don't tell that lie sister Rosetta tharpe was the first one to start playing rock and roll in the late 1940s early mid 1950s goddamnit what the f***!!!;
Black people created rock
Rock was not co-opted, most black people simply drifted towards soul and funk in the late 60s and 70s and whites stuck to rock and continued developing it. It is not to say some black folks continued playing rock and blended it with new genres like Funk, Disco and Rap, think Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton, etc.
yeah but rock and roll was created by a black woman you do know that right by the name of sister Rosetta tharpe so don't say that rock-and-roll was not created by blacks and if you think I'm lying about that look on CZcams there's a documentary on sister Rosetta tharpe she was the first one to start that music in the 1940s and early 50s
Rock music is black music. It is odd that they didn't know this.
yep you're definitely right about that and it was created by black woman by the name of sister Rosetta tharpe who happens to be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and is considered to be the queen of rock and roll she was the first black woman to pick up a Gibson SG in the mid-1940s and early 50s people such as Chuck Berry Little Richard fats Domino Elvis Presley who is not the king of rock by the way LOL we're all inspired by by this black woman and she died in 1973 there's a full video documentary of her on CZcams check it out when you have time
rock music being rooted in black traditions just became white ran and seen as “white ppl shit” but when in actuality that’s not the case. we were the originators
In your dreams.Ok ???
What's your proof in saying blacks were the originators?
@XXX TENTACION You completely left out jerry lee lewis and clearly have no knowledge of the various types of music that came from other non-african ethnic groups in America that played a huge role in creating rock and a lot of the different rock variations.
@@West-Telecom truth hurts lol
@@notveryniceatall What truth ??? All rock singers are white. Train’d gone. If this hurts you then don’t worry. You have enough hip hop, r&b singers that even after thausand years none black will sing rock.
I'm a black person and somewhat of a metalhead. I've been listening to some metal music such as Howard Jones, Cammie Gilbert, and Lajon Witherspoon. Right now i just been listening to country. But I thoughts bout trying again for metal ever since I listened to Cammie, I took an interest for doom metal.
Okay but Black people genuinely love Paramore
They should check out Bad Brains, Suffocation.
Speaking of black people in metal, check out Derrick Green who is the vocalist of the metal band Sepultura. I love salsa, jazz, old school soul, rock n roll, heavy metal etc.
As a black man I can tell you Christian rock didn't even start getting good until like the late 90s early 2000 before that it was Stryper and DC Talk and they both sucked. It wasn't until Solid State records started signing bands like Underoath and Norma Jean that Christian rock actually started being worth a damn
I’m secretly metal head my favorite bands are disturbed, Iron Maiden, fall out boy, linkin park, blink 182, and rage against the machine.
Hell yeah specially with iron maiden in rage against the machine! 👍💯💯💯💯🥁😩🥁
Why Secretly? Don't be afraid to show your taste of Music, and if anyone says something just ignore them because they are being synical.
REMEMBER:
It was Jimi Hendrix is 1 of the roots of METAL.
& the original roots of Rock & METAL is the Blues. 🤘🤓
Nirvana , linkin park ,fall out boy , Coldplay , Maroon 5 !!
and classic rock!
Without a doubt classic rock number one led Zeppelin Pink Floyd Jimi Hendrix experience Aerosmith The Beatles Boston Santana Jefferson airplane Molly hatchet steppenwolf just to name a few of my favorite bands in albums that I own LOL I love that type of music and I'm a drummer 👍💯🥁😩🥁
@Ronald Williams my Led Zepp songs are Dyer Maker and All of My Love
I know I'm late to this video.
But I'm a 52 year old black man two adult children and one grandchild I say this because I want you to know where I'm coming from. I grew up and Michael Jackson and Prince were my world. I listen to mostly R&B until High School I was introduced to rock music first man I ever really listened to and I'm still a fan of this Def Leppard second man was probably Motley Crue and it goes on from there AC DC Bon Jovi later on I was there for the whole Seattle Invasion Nirvana and Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam and later on bands Foo Fighters Korn Disturbed Godsmack. But the thing is people act like because you like this music they assume you don't still listen to R&B which nothing could be farther from the truth. Music is music my wife is from Jamaica she's a huge country music fan but it doesn't mean she doesn't listen to reggae anymore period both my children listen to a combination of things. It's just music it's not that big of a deal race should never have any factor in what you choose to listen to our like
Ikr I'm an Indian Guy(From India) And I'm a Big Fan of Rock music I just don't care who made it If it is good I'll listen to it
I liked neve and got teased for it 😂
Damn I wish I was there with you guys. I would put you on soooooo many great bands
Ira's laugh is so great
I love a bunch of all heavy metal bands AC DC kiss korn
AC/DC and kiss are not heavy metal bands bro those are regular rock bands lol and Korn is considered to be Gurng music from the 1990s lol now what I would consider to be heavy metal bands are groups like iron maiden Black Sabbath the early motley Crue Judas priest and then you have the even darker metal bands that will be considered black metal such as gothika mayhem now those are some sick and twisted dark ass metal bands
Depeche Mode....Martin Gore is black
Because it kicks ass
More of this series please!! I would listen to hours of this!
I mean sometimes i feel the need to listen too it when I'm working out or at work welding
Black people HATE rock n´roll, and i´m talking real rock n´roll, also i don´t know why, black people HATE blues and jazz, maybe some might like a bit of funk, but in general, black people only like R&B or hip hop., but i really don´t know why black people hate blues or jazz, in contrast white people love black blues and jazz, is a strange situation but a real one., my theory is that black people don´t like music that brings them down, but music that keep you up
Tbh I don't get it either I'm black and love jazz so much is my favorite genre ever
Why would black people hate music that was originated by them? We listened to rock and roll in the fifties and sixties because that was our culture.
@@61TOOTSIE But we don't listen to it now and that is a problem.
@@61TOOTSIE because these idiots nowadays are very delusional and don't want to know about the history of where rock and roll came from because I can tell you all where it came from it was created by a black woman not a black man her name is sister Rosetta tharpe she was the first woman to ever pick up a Gibson SG in the mid-1940s and early 50s to start playing those very famous rock and roll licks that was very popular in the 1950s mid-1950s to be exact there's a full documentary video on CZcams about her when you guys have a chance check it out sister Rosetta tharpe and she died in 1973 no cap all facts! 💯👍🥁😩🥁
It has always confused me as to why black people hate a music we created? It really shows how our own people are not very knowledgeable when it comes to music history the black community only knows about hip hop and r&b that's it but they don't know anything about rock music they seem to forget that we created the music genre after all Chuck Berry was the first ever black rock musician and we have had so many different black rock musicians that have come after Chuck Berry there's a list of them that I can name off but I would be sitting here all day the "rock music is for white people" is stupid as someone who is a rock and metal enthusiast I can't tell you how many times I have ran into people who have used that stupid argument but I ignore them I enjoy listening to the entire genre itself there is a lot I get out of it that I don't get out of hip-hop.
No he was not Chuck Berry was not the first it was sister Rosetta tharpe who was the first Chuck Berry was inspired by sister Rosetta tharpe to start playing rock and roll music because of what he heard this black woman playing in the 1940s and early 50s and she is in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and she's considered the queen of rock and roll sister Rosetta tharpe and she died in 1973 there is a full documentary on her on CZcams
Not black but "black people like..." is one hell of a generalisation esp as a serious statement
Yah mon! Rock on!🎸🎸🎸🎸
Killswitch engage had a black singer back then...
Yeah I think rock music help clear my mind and I yell with it so that's good for the soul. So I like it.
Rock music was influenced by blacks in blues so there shouldn't be a reason black folks should feel somewhat embarrassed by it. Yes it's considered mostly white people music type for many people but hey just listen to what you like it would be pretty cool to see more blacks involved in rock music and don't get me wrong there's many black listeners and musicians just isn't enough so it's cool to listen to people who enjoy it 🤟🏻
no it wasn't it was influenced by sister Rosetta tharpe she was the one who started rock and roll music bro in the 1940s and early 50s people such as Elvis Presley Little Richard fats Domino Chuck Berry were all inspired by this lady to start playing that type of music and there is a documentary on CZcams so if you're interested check it out and she's considered a be the queen of rock and roll and she's in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame she died in 1973
@@ronaldwilliams4954 Okay cool dude nice to know 👍🏻
Love me some rock music; there is some Nu-Metal like Limp Bizkit and a group named Dislocated Styles that had been cool fusing different genres of music into one. Cypress Hill, (rock/rap) of course you all see who is in my avatar. I just like guitars and drums and can play the guitar (acoustic/electric) never cared what other people thought about it.
I wish my son's could vide with youse guys
I believe Black Peeps love rock music too, cause what about Tina Turner, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Wonder, they are all great black artists🎤🎼👏 who uses rock as their genre
Skillet & Nine lashes are some good christen rock bands
How about john Denver....or the Carpenters lol. Hmmm?

Paramore has nothing to do with black music. Com on man. Thats like saying tupac is white music.
Rock and metal isn’t “white music” that’s racist. I feel sorry for the black girl or boy getting grief from his or her peers, family for listening to metal. shame on those who persecute them, so much for your church, Christian Hell preaching communities living in fear of an Angry God, and I know what I’m talking about hear, a d while I’m at it stop crucifying your kids with your Gehenna attitude because they’re lgbt as well, if that’s applicable, there’s Hell on earth, that God is trying to get us free from, Love Wins!
