Nevertheless, [[DoingItForTheArt all true rock musicians]] immediately call him for being a frikkin' poser that [[TradeYourPassionForGlory sold out his music principles]]: Rock music isn't about acting like an idiot, [[Film/SchoolOfRock but about giving a great show]]!

'''Basic Trope''': The devil (and those influenced by him) is extremely talented in rock music.

** The devil dabbles in music, but just as a hobby. And it's usually just simple melodies.

* '''Played For Drama''': Adam Lonestar, [[TheGift prodigious rock guitarist]], [[ChessWithDeath challenges Satan to a guitar duel]] in order to save his father's soul. Unfortunately, despite being a great musician himself, [[HopelessBossFight the skill and power of the devil turns to be beyond human's reach]], [[HopeSpot rendering his greatest efforts into an futile road into oblivion]]. [[DownerEnding Now, not only his father's soul has been lost, but so is his]].

* '''Straight''': [[MeaningfulName Abbadon]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Raum]], lead singer and guitarist of the Hell's Knights, [[DealWithTheDevil made a deal with Satan]].

* '''Defied''': The best guitarist in the world challenges the Devil himself to a guitar duel in order to demonstrate that the power of rock belongs to the righteous... [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu And he manages to defeat him,]] forcing him to quit rock music forever out of sheer shame.

* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': As mentioned under Zig-Zagged, Jesus and Satan have a BattleOfTheBands, the former with [[OminousLatinChanting Gregorian Hymns]], [[OminousPipeOrgan organ music]] and other 'wholesome' forms of song, and the latter with electric guitars, the bass, a drumkit and synthesizers. After matching each other note-for-note, the two find themselves getting fed up and play over each other, trying to drown each other out. It's only after they're done playing that they realize that everyone in attendance, from the humans to the demons, to the angels to God Himself are giving a standing ovation. Turns out the two forms of music, thought to be polar opposites, actually meld together spectacularly, and between the pair of music legends [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome the result was mindblowing]]. Despite their differences, the debacle brought Satan and Jesus [[WorthyOpponent a bit closer together as it were;]] so much so that they've actually held jam sessions from time to time to hone their skills.
