“Rock & Roll Is Dead,” from Lenny Kravitz’s 1995 album Circus, is a hard-hitting track packed with raw energy and vintage rock attitude. Driven by a gritty, overdriven riff in E minor, it channels classic ’70s rock power with tight rhythm work, bluesy fills, and soaring vocals. The song’s aggressive tone and straightforward structure make it a fun and expressive piece for guitarists who love classic rock tones, crunchy power chords, and punchy lead lines.
