How Many of you are rockers ?

In my younger days of biking there were bikers and there were a few motorcyclists, being a biker normally meant you were into rock music (long hair and leather) I realise this has now changed but just wondered how many of you are rockers?

Ps I'm sitting here listening to bluesy old Whitesnake so count me as a rocker

Re: How Many of you are rockers ?

id class myself more of a metaller, the word rock has been taken over by the likes of bon jovi, status quo etc, and i want in no way to be associtiated with all that stuff.

for me its maiden, metallica, disturbed, rammstein, manson, ozzy, that kind of thing.

although i would say my all time favourite has to be sabbath!!!

Re: How Many of you are rockers ?

I use to be a Teddy boy and go to the rock & roll gigs at night, drapes and crepes. During the day I would ride around on Bikes in leather jackets going to Bike meets etc so I guess I'm a rocker. But I don't like heavy metal. It's Rock and Roll for me!

Re: How Many of you are rockers ?

Well, i started riding Brit bikes in the sixties in Birmingham, so that makes me a Rocker.

Could'nt afford pubs, that's why we spent our time at caffs.

I've also been classed as a Greaser and Greebo?

I'm happy to be a biker these days.

And Sabbath rule. Used to live near Tony Iomi, nice normal guy.

Re: How Many of you are rockers ?

No rocking for me i'm affraid. Not that i dislike the music. I have quite a diverse taste in music and can listening to anything pretty much, including rock music. But i dont have the long hair or the age needed to have been riding in the 60's or 70's, or 80's even lol

Re: How Many of you are rockers ?

Not really a rocker I guess - long hair, silly beard and big boots but my musical tastes are a little more extreme than 'rock'. So unless I get recognised as a thrasher, a metalhead or a rivet head 'rocker' will do.
