Rock and roll never dies

Video games may be helping the music business keep rock and roll alive.

Games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band have helped revive the music of the 70s and 80s. Besides bringing bands like Aerosmith, Twisted Sister and Pat Benatar into the lives of kids, the games have also helped rock’s original fans keep their love alive.

Are you a Guitar Hero? Are you jammin’ on Rock Band? We want to see your rock and roll photos, videos and stories. Tell us whether the games have revived your music love and show us how you jam!

What's Newsiest?

The "newsiest" iReports are sorted in lists at the top of each section on the homepage and in other places around the site. Newsiest is a calculation that combines freshness, popularity, activity and ratings. The idea behind newsiest is that all the contributions the iReport.com community of users make to the site - stories, comments, ratings, pageviews - and what CNN producers pick for their own stories could add up to tell us something new about what people think is newsworthy.

What's Newsiest?

Discretion Advised

Sometimes a story that has news value can be hard to stomach. If you're posting material you think may be difficult for sensitive audiences, click the "Discretion Advised" checkbox and the iReport tools will add a warning to its page. Check the iReport community guidelines for more on what kind of content is welcome on the site.

Follow this iReporter

What's a Superstar iReporter?

The top members on iReport.com are called Superstars. How do we decide who makes the cut? It's all in the math. The site tallies members' contributions, ratings, popularity and site activity, and gives the Superstar badge to the members whose scores are in the top 20 percent every week.
