Aerosmith Performing “Dream On” at The Hollywood Bowl

Aerosmith is back!

Well, sort of.

They took to the stage Thursday night for the first of two “Aerosmith and Friends” concerts, featuring a star-studded line up- everyone from Aerosmith to Guns N’ Roses to Billy Idol and so many more taking the stage this past Thursday and tomorrow, November 1st.

 

This is a big deal, as Aerosmith had to cancel their “Peace Out” tour a couple years ago due to Steven Tyler breaking his larynx a few shows in.

Steven went through a lot these past two years trying to get that voice back, and Thursday night he took to the stage to perform the iconic “Dream On” with the band:

Ok, first off, Steven is 78.

The fact that he can do any of this is amazing.

All these guys deserve a kudos for their badassery.

Aerosmith has always been one of my favorite bands, and I’m just glad they are still performing in any capacity, and not faking it AT ALL.

MAD RESPECT.

Also, comedian Bill Burr who is emceeing the event says that this weekend marks the final two shows in Aerosmith history.

I hope not.

But I understand if it is.

Go out with a bang, and this is certainly the way to do it.

Can’t wait to see who takes the stage tomorrow night.

Long live Rock and Roll!!!!!

The Heartbreakers Featuring Chris Stapleton at The Americana Awards!

Last night, it was “The Americana Awards” at The Ryman in Nashville, and what a great surprise… The Heartbreakers with Chris Stapleton on the vocals.

Yes, The Heartbreakers as in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

The Heartbreakers received the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award last night, and what a way to celebrate.

It was their first reunion since Tom’s passing in 2017, and who better to take on the vocals than Chris Freaking Stapleton?

Enjoy:


Damn, damn, damn.

As a HUGE Tom Petty fan and a big fan of Chris Stapleton, this has me all kinds of happy.

I know Chris is a totally different vocalist than Tom Petty was, but it’s still awesome to see.

Check out the full show below:

Guns N’ Roses AND Chris Stapleton!!!

Well, this happened…

Two of my favorites- Guns N’ Roses and Chris Stapleton collided.

GNR and Chris were both playing Toronto this past week,.

So, it only made sense that they would pop up at each other’s shows, right?

ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY!

First, Chris joined GNR for a version of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” which was glorious:

 

And if that wasn’t enough badassery, GNR joined Chris for a version of “Patience” at HIS Toronto show the next night!

Ahhhh… my little Country and Rock heart is happy.

It would be even happier if they had done “Sweet Child of Mine” or “Paradise City”, but what can ya do?

I’ll take it.

 

Now if Chris could just make a full Rock covers album, I could die happy.

 

Universe, ya hear that?!

Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” Official Music Video

This is really cool.

50 years after its release, Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” finally has a music video, and it’s cool as hell.

Enjoy:

I absolutely love this song… and it has extra meaning now that my husband is deployed to Kuwait this holiday season.

Shout out to director Justin Daashuur Hopkins and production company Son&Heir for making this happen.

Aerosmith and Yungblood “One More Time”

Today is the day!

One of my favorite Rock bands of all time Aerosmith have dropped their EP with British rocker Yungblood called “One More Time”.

And it’s honestly pretty badass.

Here’s the tracks:

Of, course, the single released a few weeks ago “My Only Angel” which is kicking ass on rock radio right now:

 

“Problems”:

 

“Wild Woman”:

 

“A Thousand Days”:

And, naturally, a cover of an Aerosmith classic “Back in the Saddle”:


I’m pretty damn impressed.

Steven, sadly, can’t tour anymore due to vocal issues… but he can still record (obviously) and do a show here and there. I’m happy that they teamed up with the carrier of the Rock torch Yungblood.

Yungblood did have to cancel the rest of his 2025 tour dates due to health issues (Rockstar life, man), but will be hitting the US hard in 2025, and dates are selling out.

Rock and Roll is not dead, people.

Country KISS!

Did you know that KISS once recorded a Country and Western song?

Me either.

Apparently, back in 1975, KISS recorded a Country/Western song called “Mistake”, and they included it on their “Dressed to Kill” 50th Anniversary Box Set.

It’s not horrible, either:

Yeah, that’s actually pretty damn cool. I’m glad they put it on their new box set.

Also, here’s Paul Stanley performing an acoustic version on the KISS Cruise a decade ago:


The “Dressed to Kill” 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe box set is available now on major streaming services, with CD and vinyl editions available for pre-order on the official Kiss website.

Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne “War Pigs”

As promised, Judas Priest released a version of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” today, featuring the late Ozzy Osbourne on some of the vocals.

It all started this Summer when Judas Priest couldn’t make it to perform at the final Black Sabbath show, so to show their support, they performed “War Pigs” in concert, and then Ozzy decided to hit the studio with them to record the track before his passing.

It’s rockingly bittersweet:

Ah. Legendary.

And the best part? All sales of this particular version go directly to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinsons.

Rock on!

Aerosmith and YUNGBLOOD “My Only Angel”

Aerosmith (well, half of Aerosmith- Steven Tyler and Joe Perry) have teamed up with British rocker YUNGBLOOD for a heavy-hitting new song “My Only Angel”, and yeah, it kind of rocks.

I mean, how can it not with these three?


I’m here for it!  Honestly, YUNGBLOOD is definitely getting my attention now.  Once I heard him performing live at the VMAs last weekend with Steven and Joe, I was like, “Ok! I’m in”.

Which is good, because the three have a collaborative EP called “One More Time” dropping November 21st.

Hell yeah!

Post Malone Covers the Eagles

Post Malone is really impressing me lately.

I remember hearing that he was going Country and thinking “Oh Lord, really?”

But I feel like he’s really proving himself in the genre, and totally leaning into the Nashville lifestyle.

He’s now getting attention for an impromptu version of The Eagles “Take it Easy”, and it’s pretty damn solid.

@postmaloneDirty Dave on the keys

♬ take it easy – Slay

Pretty damn good.

My only complaint is that it’s only 13 seconds long.

Can we get more pleaseeee?

Also, I like him better without his signature autotune.

Also, Post Malone is working on his 2nd Country album, and he’s saying it will be along the more traditional Country route.

Fingers crossed!

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jelly Roll “Tuesday’s Gone” Live

Ok, I was totally loving this.

One of my all-time favorite Southern Rock bands- Lynyrd Skynyrd- teamed up with Jelly Roll for a pretty solid rendition of “Tuesday’s Gone” as a part of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s upcoming album “Celebrating 50 Years-Live at The Ryman”.

Now, “Tuesday’s Gone” is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, and this was, in my opinion, a pretty cool performance of it:


This song hits me deep in my soul every time.

One of my core memories is being 21, front row at a Skynyrd concert at Skullbone Music Park in Skullbone, TN.

June 4th, 2004.

Me and my best friend Erica singing this song at the top of our lungs in the pouring rain…

It doesn’t get better than that.

“Celebrating 50 Years- Live at the Ryman” will be available on June 27th, and I can’t wait for the rest!

Mad respect to this band for keeping is going for so long, and still delivering!
