Love Quote by Bon Scott

"Im more in love with Rock n Roll today than other things. It grows, you know?"

About this Quote

Bon Scott’s line lands with the offhand candor of someone who’s been living inside the noise long enough to trust it more than people, plans, or promises. “I’m more in love with Rock n Roll today than other things” isn’t a brag about taste; it’s a declaration of allegiance. The phrasing tilts toward romance, but the comparison - “than other things” - hints at everything rock can replace: stability, domestic life, even self-preservation. Scott doesn’t dress it up. He frames devotion as a daily choice, a recommitment, like stepping back onstage after the hangover, the miles, the fights.

“It grows, you know?” is the key. Rock isn’t a fixed identity badge; it’s a hunger that escalates. That little tag - “you know?” - works like a cigarette-pass to the listener, inviting complicity. It suggests this isn’t a neat origin story where music “saved” him; it’s an ongoing appetite that keeps expanding to fill the available space. The subtext is both exhilarating and ominous: if it grows, what gets pushed out?

In context, Scott’s era of hard rock sold authenticity as sweat, risk, and volume, and he was its sharpest salesman and truest believer. The quote captures the genre’s bargain: rock as freedom, rock as purpose, rock as a kind of faith. Not gentle, not balanced - alive because it keeps getting louder in your bloodstream.
