It wasn't until after watching this movie that I realized the importance of rock history and appreciation knowledge, which piqued my interest in older bands from decades ago. I even made a copy of the entire history of rock and roll written by Jack Black on the blackboard by freezing only a few seconds of the movie screen and zooming in on the movie poster, and finally found that rock and R&B have the same ancestor "blues", It can even be said that a lot of rock is developed from R&B. After listening to all the classic songs of the bands on the "Blackboard" for N times, I felt "If only I had been born 30 years earlier".
When Jack Black discovered the musical talents of the kids and asked them to play The Doors' Touch Me separately, I couldn't help but marvel at the scouting potential of MR.S. From start to finish, the film feels the director and Jack Black's homage to rock's forebears. Whether it's the background music (Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song played in the car after everyone cheated into the competition; Stevie Nicks' Edge Of Seventeen played by JB in the bar for the principal to listen to; and AC/DC's It's A at the end of the film) Long Way To The Top) or episodes (such as Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love and The Ramones' My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down) are all classics in rock history.
Since then, I've listened to fewer and fewer new songs and more and more old songs, and more and more "old"! Every time I shop for CDs, I always buy CDs from old bands first. Just like you can't say that you have learned Chinese if you haven't learned Tang poetry and Song Ci and Classical Chinese, also, you haven't heard the music of old bands such as the doors, pink floyd, queen, AC/DC, etc. Don't say you know rock! You can only be regarded as outside the door of rock and roll, although you say: "this" is rock and roll, in fact, even you don't know that "that kind of music" inside the door is the essence and soul of rock and roll!
