You have technicians here, making noise.
No one is a musician.
They are not artists because no one can play the guitar.
The song "Rock and Roll" by Led Zepagain is a fast-paced, high-energy tribute to the classic genre of rock and roll. The lyrics repeat the same phrases over and over again, emphasizing the idea that playing rock and roll with friends is a simple joy that never gets old. The opening verse sets the tone for the whole song, promising a rollicking good time with the line "together we can play some rock n' roll."
The chorus itself is a simple declaration of the power of the titular musical genre. The phrase "rock n' roll" is repeated fourteen times in rapid succession, with each repetition becoming more frenzied and intense than the last. The refrain switches up towards the end with a shout-out to the "rude boy bass," adding an element of danger to the overall excitement.
The song concludes with a spoken word section that is somewhat critical of the music industry. The singer suggests that many people who work in the industry are not actual musicians, but rather "technicians making noise." The final line is a bit ambiguous, as it accuses these non-musicians of being "not artists because no one can play the guitar." This could be interpreted as a commentary on the lack of true musical skill in some mainstream pop music, or it could simply be a playful jab at the industry as a whole.
Overall, "Rock and Roll" is a celebration of the fun and community that can be found in playing and listening to rock music.

Guitarist sounds great. Its too bad Jay had to spend his entire life to trying to play these tunes clike his dad, He did a decent job, but its not and never will be good. Even on this tune he admits his left hand just couldn't pull it off like his dad or many drummers. He did a decent job like I said, but he has a curse on him that will never go
