Ever wanted to rock like AC/DC or Van Halen? If you screamed "HELL YEAH!" then this lesson's for you! It's time to learn two hand tapping.

The legendary blues artist Muddy Waters had a famous song that summed it up pretty nicely. 'The Blues Had a Baby and They Called it Rock and Roll.' The seeds of rock and roll were planted in the cotton fields and the legendary blues artists were the Moms and Dads.

On today's show we asked what three piece bands were in your Top 5. Bands that have made a name for themselves with just guitar, bass, and drums. Here are the 5 bands that garnered the most support on today's show.

My mind is taking me to summer. It's been doing that a lot lately because it's so blessed cold. I close my eyes and automatically I'm jumping in my truck and ready to hit the road because it's the weekend and I don't have to work the next day and the sun is out and it's really hot and I've got my buds and a pretty lady and - well, you get the idea.

On today's Chris O'Brien Show we asked what your favorite rock and roll-based motion picture was. We got a lot of duplicate answers but some very interesting ones.

I was laying low this weekend trying to recuperate from some sort of bug that's been going around. I thought I'd try to find a cool movie that revolves around rock music. There wasn't a whole lot to choose from so I dug into my collection. It got me thinking. What's the best 'rock' movie ever made in your opinion?
