Judas Priest and Ozzy Paying One Final Tribute to Black Sabbath!
In #

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!

Chappell Roan and Nancy Wilson of Heart “Barracuda”

Ahhhhhh!

This is so badass.

Pop Superstar Chappell Roan is known for her killer vocals, and for performing Heart’s 1970’s hit “Barracuda” live in concert.

Well, that just got amplified by none other than Nancy Wilson of Heart joining Chappell Roan for a rendition at Forest Hills Stadium in NYC recently.

It rocks just as hard as you would think:


HELL YES!!!!!

So much badassery on one stage.

Chappell Roan is KILLING it!

Catch her on the road- dates are at https://www.iamchappellroan.com/ and Heart has extended their tour- more info at https://www.heart-music.com/

Cheers to the Rock Goddesses!!!

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!

Carrie Underwood Covering Ozzy’s “Mama I’m Coming Home”

The Rock and Metal community is reeling from the loss of the iconic Ozzy Osbourne, and tributes are everywhere.

As they should be. Dude was a freaking LEGEND.

One performance is making the internet rounds this week is actually a performance that happened a couple of years ago on “The Howard Stern Show” where Country star Carrie Underwood performed Ozzy’s “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and slayed it.

Ok, so maybe she doesn’t rock near as hard as Ozzy, but it’s a pretty cool rendition, and definitely worthy.

I love that Carrie Underwood is a big Rock fan, and can turn it up to 11 when needs to, like when she opened up for Guns N’ Roses on tour recently.

Anyhow, I enjoyed that this morning, and hopefully you did as well.

RIP Ozzy.

There will never be another…

Ozzy Osbourne “Mama, I’m Coming Home” Final Performance

Ozzy Osbourne passed away today at 76 years old.

No, this is not fake news.

It really happened.

I feel like he really knew that the end was near at his farewell performance on July 5th, especially after his performance of “Mama, I’m Coming Home”.

Try not to choke up:

Ughhhh… I still can’t believe he’s gone.

Rest easy, Ozzy. You are already so missed…

Motley Crue Featuring Dolly Parton “Home Sweet Home”

Motley Crue have teamed up with Dolly Parton for a new version of their 1985 classic “Home Sweet Home”, because, well, why not?

I mean it’s Dolly.

Dolly still has it, ya’ll!

The remake is to promote Motley Crue’s career-spanning compilation album “From the Beginning” which comes out September 12th.

Carrie Underwood Joins Papa Roach Onstage for “Last Resort”

Carrie Underwood is your All-American girl next year, just with an incredible set of pipes (and legs)! She usually stays in the Country and Gospel lane, but every now and again, Carrie puts on her rock girl panties and it’s always glorious.

She’s toured with Guns N’ Roses before (talk about legit, right?), and recently joined Papa Roach onstage for a version of “Last Resort”, and she owns it:


Dammit, woman, is there anything she can’t sing?

She also performed the single that she has out with Papa Roach called “Leave a Light On”, and all proceeds from this song go to suicide prevention:

If you weren’t aware of this song, here’s the actual recorded version:

Badass, and for a great cause.

Honestly, a Carrie Underwood rock covers album wouldn’t be a bad idea, am I right?

Let’s make this happen, ok?

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!

More info here:https://lynyrdskynyrd.com/

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

Dua Lipa Performs AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”

Damn.

Dua Lipa just earned some more of my respect.

I’ve always liked the pop star, who has a great, strong voice and catchy songs… but I didn’t realize how good her vocals actually are until just now.

She brought her “Radical Optimism” tour to Melbourne, Australia, and took a chance at covering the iconic Aussie band AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” in concert, and it paid off I’d say:


Damn, Dua Lipa.

Yeah, I had no idea she had that in her. Mad respect!

Check out where she’ll be next at DuaLipa.com

She definitely went up a few notches for me with this performance. Well done!

Post Malone and Nirvana “Smells Like Teen Spirit”!

This is pretty damn cool…

Last night, it was the SNL 50th Anniversary Concert Special, and Nirvana reunited again with the surviving members (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear) and… Post Malone!

I mean, why not?

Dude is everywhere lately.

Check out their performance of the iconic “Smells Like Teen Spirit” below:


I mean… nothing compares to the original, obviously, but I thought that was pretty cool.

Is there anything that Post Malone can’t do? Rock, Hip Hop, Country… what’s next… Opera?

I honestly wouldn’t be shocked.

Also, how cool is it that we got two Nirvana performances is the past month?

 

Maybe more in the future?

A girl- ok, a middle-aged woman- can hope!
