Would you explain what the underlined means?

Let's just give this everything we got.
We may fall on our faces, but if we do,
we will fall with dignity! With a guitar in our hands
and rock in our hearts!

And in the words of AC/DC:
"We roll tonight to the guitar bite, and for those about to rock..."
...I salute you.”

"For those people who are about to rock" Rock here is a verb; it means to get into the rock music - move your body in time with the music, nod your head in time with the music, maybe play air guitar or air drums , sing along, etc. So in that quote, the AC/DC vocalist is saluting (giving repsect to) the people in the audience who will be rocking when they start playing.
