The Rockers (ロッカーズ?, Rokkāzu) consist of the popular guitarist J.J. Rocker (ロッカー?, Rokkā) and his student (弟子くん?, Deshi-kun), first appearing in Rockers in Rhythm Heaven. Throughout the game, J.J. Rocker guides his student on how to play the guitar by giving him a riff to follow.

Story

Guitar Monthly wrote an article about J.J. Rocker, who was formerly known as "the King of Headbanging". His headbanging resulted in a serious neck injury, which took him out of the touring circuit for five years[1]. It was a disappointment for many, as he was known as a rocking legend. Later, he teams up with a student of his to create a rocking guitar duo[2]. J.J. Rocker gives his student Guitar Lessons, where they rock to other songs from the game. They also participate in the Battle of the Bands.

In Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 06 DJ上京物語 その1:ライブ、何時ですか~?の巻き (DJ Going to Tokyo Part 1: What time is it live?), the soon-to-be student of DJ Yellow is wandering around town, and suddenly gets knocked away by J.J. Rocker. In 07 DJ上京物語 その2:ゴールデンな体験の巻き (DJ Going to Tokyo Part 2: Golden Experience), the student guitarist is seen playing live at Live House OGU.
