HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! no way. have you heard all of the rock music that's been influenced by christianity? Tom Petty, U2, Led Zeppelin......... nowhere in the bible does it say anything about rock n roll being evil. so i think you're good to listen to it. What authority does the guy who said rock is evil have? no. rock is not evil. and if it is.... well..... IT"S AWESOME! i'm not gonna stop listening to it. I enjoy it. I'll still sing, still play rock songs on guitar. we've only got one shot at life, might as well make it fun.

So I'v heard a lot of stuff about Rock being called "the devil's music" or that listening to rock is evil and that if you sing, play, or listen to rock that you are worshipping the devil which is NOT GOOD. Now as you can see from my profile, I am a born-again christian and I refuse to worship the devil as most christians do, but I need to know the truth. Please help.
Listening to rock and metal music isn't good. Not even Christian music is truly Christian.

Here is a clip to a video I have watched (click here).

Most songs, such as Beatles, say "All you need is love."
or "Listen to your heart."

The truth is to follow your mind and lead your heart. Sonic the Hedgehog is a kid's show that preaches this lie (click here).

satan tricks people by whispering to them

The devil doesn't whisper in your ear, he is extremely smart and he whispers in your heart. He does not announce himself.

Well it's just like in everything, not all rock group are evil or worshipping the Devil. Some do act like they do which is actually quite sad but there are alot of good rock band and even christian rock band !

Someone said before that skillet is a christian rock band, really ? I only know their song "monster" but since english isn't my motherlanguage I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics except from the chorus so any opinion on that band ?

Depends on what you hear when you listen to it.
Forget the artists and the industry and listen for the Holy Spirit.

better to listen to christian music than rock music?

that is nonsense. Rock music can be christian music. There is christian rock (and metal), there is anti-christian rock and there is rock that doesn't take a position. Some artists want to write songs without everytime making a statement pro or anti religion. And it's right. Or do we tell photographers, painters, writers etc. that they have to make christian art or otherwise they make evil art and we need to boycot them?

By the way, I listen to a lot of rock music. And I think in general the lyrics are worse in hiphop and many pop songs (from a christian point of view). And there is nothing wrong with having more classical music in church instead of throwing out centuries of good christian hymns just to appear more modern. Personally I prefer rock music when alone at home at classical hymns in church. The lyrics make the difference.
Not to mention that most Hard Rock and Heavy Metal musicians are way better musicians than most worship bands and pop artists. And they have to as their music might be twice as fast :D
