"I Love Rock & Roll" is a song by in Guitar Hero and was also featured in the Guitar Hero 2nd Edition Carabiner handheld toy and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits video game. It is known for being the first song in the first tier in the first Guitar Hero, and its inclusion into Smash Hits is a warm tribute to its popularity as the very first song in the franchise.

Unlike the original, the Outro has extra note on Guitar Hero.

In the first Guitar Hero, no one sings with the female singer, while in Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, the crowd, The Guitarist and The Bassist sing along.

Difficulty[]

"I Love Rock & Roll" is considered one of the easiest songs in the entire franchise, competing with "Slow Ride", "Closer", and "They Say".

As this is the first song in the game, You should not have any problems with it at all. If you are a new player, this may take several tries learning the first Guitar Hero game's strict gameplay mechanics. But other then that, it is a very easy song to pass and full combo.

The Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is even easier as the better HOPO mechanics make the solo easier than it was in Guitar Hero.

Lyrics[]

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'cause it's all the same"
I said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah, me
Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah, me singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah, me
And we'll be movin' on
And singin' that same old song
Yeah, with me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
