Someone who is in a popular rock band. Some of these guys live the craziest life that exists.
They tour around the world to play their music while getting worshipped by their fans. After the concert they fuck a bunch of groupies and leave for the next gig while taking some drugs.
Bands who live like this or have lived like this are: The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Who etc...
Someone who doesn't follow rules, they make their own. The go out of their way to be extraordinary, different from everyone else. They sometimes choose to have exotic piercings or tatoos, some have really, really crazy hair! But those are not the only kind of rock stars...
Marilyn Manson is a ginuwine rocker who fits my description. But then you have people like Keith Richards, Elvis, Led Zepplin, and those oldie goldies.
that guy who's been kicked out of every band in town. he's talented no doubt, but he's never sober and doesn't really know what stability is. lots of booze, bitches, and hard drugs, baby. he's never really grown out of that stage that all boys go through around the age of 15 when they think they'll be famous someday cause they can shred. he lives like a rock star because he thinks he'll be one some day, but man he never will be. oh yeah, his rent is four months late but you can't seem to kick him out because he's got no job and you can't picture his pretty face on the streets. sometimes people just can't outgrow a big dream.
Among musicians, especially rock musicians, "Rock Star" is the ultimate putdown/insult. It means 'prima donna.'
Tommy Lee (to Vince Neil): "Dude, you are such a rock star!"
Vince Neil: I AM NOT A ROCK STAR!!! (as he throws down his microphone and stomps offstage in a fit of pique).

Rock Star
Someone who plays music for a living and has enough fans to occupy a city bus.
