ISTORY Rock music arose in late 1940s and became popular in the
United States in mid-1950s. The music is characterized with strong
beat and typical instruments used like Keyboard, Drums, Electric
and Bass guitars. Rock music has similarity with Rock & Roll
because both came with same origins from R&B, Swing Jazz and
Blues. Slide 3 A EROSMITH Origin: Boston, MA Genre: Hard Rock Years

INE L IVES (1997) Slide 5 Nine Lives is Aerosmiths 12 th album. It
uses the picture of a body with head of a cat. The cat is used
because cat is claimed to have nine lives. The body image is
controversial because it depicts Lord Khrisna (Hindus God), dancing
on top of a monster with snake bodies. The monster turns out to
symbolize one of the demon in Hindu mythology. The album cover was
then revised still with an image of cat (nine lives) wearing shirt
and jeans tied on a roller with knives stuck into the roller. Both
covers show the body in danger (from snake and knives) but it
remains there because it is a cat that has nine lives. Slide 6 A

IRRORS (1985 Slide 8 Done with Mirrors is Aerosmiths 8 th album.
The album name is Done with Mirrors but the album cover uses the
image created by the mirrors (written opposite). This creates a
kind of contradiction which maybe meant to symbolize the uniqueness
of the group and Rock music itself. Slide 9 B ON J OVI Origin:
Sayreville, NJ Genre: Hard Rock Years Active: 1983 - present
Current Members: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Tico
Torres Slide 10 B ON J OVI H AVE A N ICE D AY (2005) Slide 11 Have
a Nice Day is Bon Jovis 9 th album. The image uses the famous Have
a Nice Day symbol of 2 eyes and a smile. But, the smile in the
cover is rather cynical with an angry eyebrow. Red color is used as
its background instead of Yellow which make the angry theme
stronger. Slide 12 R ED H OT C HILI P EPPERS Origin: Los Angeles,

Slide 13 RHCP O NE H OT M INUTE (1995) Slide 14 One Hot Minute is
Red Hot Chili Peppers sixth album. It uses an image of a young girl
with red hair and pink dress playing piano. The young girl is used,
maybe, to give an idea that the album has fewer sexual theme
compared to the previous album. The color red (hair, flower,
ribbon) is used to give a hot theme because hot is mostly
associated with red color (example: red chili or red pepper). The
color black (the major color in the cover) and the color red are
used to symbolize RHCP because both red and black are also in RHCPs
logo. Slide 15 S OURCE www.answers.com www.wikipedia.org
