SWU Nation, do you know what day it is today? Look at your calendar, check it out, I'll wait, look.
Today is Wednesday, July 13, Rock Day, my friend.
What does Rock mean to you?
Rock? Rock for me, is culture, good music, the music that I like.
Rock is an attitude.
When you think of Rock, what band comes to your mind?
Alkaline Trio. Alkaline make a different sound, a sound that pleases me.
It's a mixture of Rock, not very heavy, but not too slow something that pleases me.
Linkin Park, because I like the guitar, I think the boys are great, and they play a lot, they're awesome.
And your favorite style of Rock, because there are many, right? Which is yours?
Mine is Hard Rock, Girls are Hard Rock, Aerosmith…
You follow the same line, or a different style?
I follow, follow Aerosmith, Pinkfloyd, Led Zepplin, Janis Jopplin. Skid, right bro?
The very first Rock concert you attended, do you remember?
It was a cover of the band "Ratos de Porão",
I think I was about 14 years old, it was in a concert house all the way in the east zone.
I must've been about 9 years old, I'm from the rural area of São Paulo,
I was the little kid, the other guys made my hair into a mokawk,
and I would go out with them, but I have no idea who was playing.
I was with my friends we were going to a banner festival even punk at the time, it was a long time ago, I was 13 years old.
So ever since you were a kid you liked rock?
Since I was a kid, since my dad showed me and so on.
Look how cool, I found an entire family that came hand in hand to the Rock Gallery, to honor Rock.
Let me ask you, what is Rock to you?
Rock to me is, to me is everything, ever since I was 15, 16 years old,
it's what I like, what I enjoy, and I try to pass this to my kids.
Whether they want it or not is another thing, but based on what I feel at home, it's working for sure.
From what I see the girl has already been "contaminated" by Rock. What kind of bands, what are your favorite Rock bands?
Paramore, Kiss, right?
What about mom, is she lost in this Rock or does she dance the same tune?
I do, for sure, but I try to keep up, try to grow with them.
What is it like to have a rocker for a husband who goes into town wearing a Kiss shirt?
It's great, I like it.
Tell me what was the most unforgettable concert you attended?
It was the "Guns" and Skid Row opened for them, wow it was amazing this concert, it was too much!
For me it was Aerosmith at the Palestra Italia! Wow I went crazy.
My mother drinking wine, listening to Raul Seixas, is my memory of Rock.
Hey dude, do you like Rock 'n Roll?
Kid, I don’t like it very much, my favorite songs belong to Roberto Carlos, Fernando Mendes, Julio Iglesias…
