If the speaker is a good speaker it will be a good speaker for rock and roll.
Believe it or not, audio equipment does not have taste and does not care what you put through it. And guitarists don't all play the same notes.
If a speaker does classical really well, it will do rock really well too. I've actually seen people ask if there was a speaker that was better for mid-tempo 80s rock as opposed to rock from the 1960s!
Cerwin Vega is the brand that I see trotted out the most on this topic. Actually they lack the impact and resolution to do rock, classical or jazz. They are simply loud and there is a lot more to rock than just loud. IOW don't make the mistake of assuming that a PA speaker is going to do the job better because bands use PA speakers (BTW I play in one of the louder bands in the Twin Cities). Bands use those speakers because they need volume and often don't have a lot of money for the PA. You won't need that volume in a home setting because the room is smaller. So go with quality.
