Billy Joel and Axl Rose Perform at Madison Square Garden!

I’ll take TWO Legends at Madison Square Garden, please.

Last night, Billy Joel wrapped up his run of shows at Madison Square Garden, and celebrated his 150th show there by bringing out another Rock icon: Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses!

They performed three songs together- a Billy Joel tune, and GNR tune, and a helluva cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”, because, why the hell not?

Behold:

“You May Be Right”:

 

“Live and Let Die”:

 

And… “Highway to Hell”:

Billy Joel on guitar, though. Hot damn!

How freaking cool would it have been to see that live?

Thank God for technology, so that we can experience it second-hand.

It’s better than nothing!

Aerosmith Farewell Tour Kickoff

Aerosmith kicked off their “Peace Out” Farewell tour with The Black Crowes in Philadelphia this past weeked at Wells Fargo Center, and like many, I was wondering how they would sound.

I mean, they’re all in their mid-70’s, and it’s not like they lived their healthiest lives, you know?

Well, you wouldn’t have guessed it watching videos of their kickoff performance.

I mean, HOT DAMN.

Think of most people in their mid-70’s.

They’re not hitting high notes on top of pianos, or doing a tenth of what these guys are doing. Or even a hundreth.

Basically, everything your doctor told you is wrong.

I’ve seen Aerosmith several times in the early 2000’s, and was blown away 20 years ago with how good they sounded. I’m just happy to see that they can still kill it onstage. Also, Steven pulled me onstage at one of those shows, and it was definitely a highlight moment for me, since I’ve been in love with him since I was 4. He is Mojo Personified.

If you want to catch them this Fall, here’s their dates:

Of course, the big question is, is it REALLY a Farewell Tour?

Or are they going to be back at it again like so many bands?

Either way, it looks like they’re leaving it all on the stage this go round.
