The Anatomy of a Rock Star

Once in your life, you have wished that instead of working on a 9 to 5 pace, you were a rock star. You daydreamed about having your own band, stood in front of your mirror, totting your imaginary guitar, lip singed in the shower, and dressed like a wasted hobo just to have that rock star feeling. We have all gone through that stage, until life slaps us in the face with bills to pay.

So not everyone is gifted with the talent, charisma, looks, and musical skills of a rock star, but that does not mean that you can’t feel like one. This is a free country you don’t have to necessarily be a member of Tom DeLonge Angels and Airwaves, or a member of Metallica just to feel like a rock star. You just have to exude that rock star appeal, and whether you have your own band or not, you can be a good specimen of a rocker.

Study the anatomy of a rock star and learn the ropes of being one.

1. A rock star does not sleep but still looks in control – He may be sleep-deprived because of the concerts he has to play in, but the morning after, he could still manage to finish an interview or two. Even if he is tired of answering the same old silly questions from reporters, he would still try to come up with a decent (or not) enough answer that’s cool to be published on papers.


2. A rock star is fashionable in his own shabby way. He tries to look like he does not care about images and appearances, but in reality, he does. But since he carries himself so confidently, we are made to believe that he just picks up whatever clothes are hanging on his closet. He can put on even the tackiest pieces of clothing, but Page 6 would still commend his style. If the press butchers his fashion sense, he would just brush off the comment and carry himself in style.


3. A rock star does not need a stage to be a star. Wherever he goes, no matter who he is with, he will always be confident. This is what draws people to him.


4. A rock star has skills. A true rock star can carry a tune but more than being able to sing or play an instrument, a rock star can move people with his music.


5. A rock star does not care…about what other people would say. Love him or hate him, he would still be the same. Because he is confident about who he is, he is not swayed by what others say about his music, looks, fashion statement, or his views about the world. In a nutshell, he follows his bliss.
