Rock Sins
With the Vatican’s announcement of the “new” sins I thought we as the Chez Nation should also lay out our own list of “sins” for the rock world. What do you think should be considered a sin in Rock & Roll?
My votes are: Thou shalt not disgrace the guitar gods by air guitaring to their songs (Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Vaughan)
Thou shalt not collaborate with rappers
Thou shalt not lend your songs to country music artists (Tom Cochrane)
for adding to the list under comments I’ll shoot you a bonus code by weeks end worth CHEZ Nation Points!

The 7 Deadly Sins of Rock:
1) No collaboration between rock and opera (like Bryan Adams). The fat lady has sung on opera.
2) Even acknowledging the existence of Celine Dion and/or Alanis Morrisette. An even bigger sin is to desire them, in the same way most guys desire attractive women.
3) Asking for the title/artist info when ‘Stairway to Heaven’/any other rock anthem are playing.
4) Not praying to the Rock Gods (living or otherwise) on a daily basis. The praying can be done by thoroughly enjoying their music.
5) Straying away from rock music. Dante’s 7th level of Hell will be entered if caught listening to Celine Dion.
6) Comparing oneself to a Rock God (’My style resembles that of _____’).
7) Not living along the virtues of the rock lifestyle.
