The Rockin' Rodwell Story - My Personal History of Rock 'n' Roll
This is my personal history of rock 'n' roll. Welcome to Rockin-Rodwell.com, the web site of the world's greatest screamer!
I found it hard to grow up during the ‘70s and ’80s. With all the partying that took place, I bet I was not the only one. But it’s that journey which tells this story. Dedicated to everyone who loves music, wants to be (or wishes they were) in a band, and appreciates art, I hope this story inspires others to go out and fulfill their dreams. The answer is always no if we don’t try.
I’d like to thank everyone who has joined me on my rock 'n roll travels, past and present. You are all a part of this story.
A special thanks goes out to Noddy Holder and Slade, as well as Deep Purple for giving me Space Truckin'. I haven't been the same, but I am the better for it. I'd also like to thank Morgan at Blue & Linen for helping me bring my story to fruition, and the ever-talented people at SiteSell as they helped me take my online venue live (literally).
Slade and Deep Purple may not be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (yet). But they are top billing here. Their contributions to rock and roll do not go unnoticed as their styles of music continue to inspire other artists to find their own voices. So keep reading, and may you find yours.
Peace, Rockin' Rodwell

There are many famous rock singers, but which are really good? Ask your friends and start a friendly fight! Or: tell me who is your favorite rock singer of the Seventies!
The Seventies produced some of the most famous guitar players of all time. Being a fan of guitar-driven rock 'n' roll I would like to know who is your guitar hero from this decade.
It all started with The Beatles. This English based group began in Liverpool during the 1960s and they were soon one of the most popular rock bands in the world.
If ever a band knew how to throw a party on stage it was Slade. They got the audience into it like no other. They had some nice ballads to mix in with their rockers also.
Led Zeppelin was one of the most successful rock bands of the seventies. They were more than just famous, with a strong fan base that still spans out across the globe.
The seventies music scene was different than today's. The 1970s were a time of great upheaval and changes in perspective. This was truer nowhere than in rock music.
