My name is Zack Bryan and I am a first year commerce student at the University of Ottawa. I plan to specialize in marketing; however, that may change later on. I have been playing the guitar since the age of ten and, in the process, have become a fan of many genres of music. Bands such as AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and other classic rock bands first got me interested in rock music and from there i have explored many of its sub genres. I currently play in a rock band and we are writing music and playing live shows in the Ottawa area.
About this Wiki
This wiki will focus on rock music and its influence on the many sub-genres that have evolved from blues, and rock and roll. It will also highlight four (of the many) sub-genres: Hard Rock, Glam Rock, Punk Rock,and Heavy Metal. In addition to these four, there are numerous other sub-genres consisting of Indie Rock, Alternative, Nu-Metal, Grunge and many, many more.
These styles are some of the older styles of rock and they have influenced the contemporary rock and pop industry since their conception. Each page will focus on one of the four styles highlighted above. On these pages, I will state its history, origins, and influences as well as the top bands and musicians of these styles.

The track was titled "Tattoo" and featured estranged singer David Lee Roth on lead vocals for the first time in 28 years of estrangement. With lyrics that include "purple mountains majesty" and verses about the tattoo of Elvis on his elbow that talks every time he flexes, I can't say I'm too fond of the song. But here's the video for any of you who haven't seen this yet...
