Guesting on Subculture Entertainment, Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale offered his thoughts on the lack of guitar heroes in new rock bands, and rock n' roll.

Coverdale: "A lot of the new rock bands don't really have guitar heroes, and, to me, it's fucking synonymous with rock. And also the sexy 'roll.' I'm not interested in just being a rock band; I wanna be a rock and roll band. I like the sex element in rock, which, that's the 'roll' aspect. The whole expression 'rock and roll' was coined in the blues and jazz days as a sex act: 'C'mon, baby, let's go and rock and roll.' Nothing to do with fucking guitars.”
