It's the Official Release of the Viral Cover!

Avery Anna “No More Tears”

This is badass.

Country singer Avery Anna went viral last year with her cover of the late, great Ozzy Osbourne’s massive hit “No More Tears”, and it got her a ton of attention- as it should, because she SLAYED it.

Well, she listened to her fans, and released a studio version of it, and it’s just as stellar as her live cover.

I think even hardcore rock fans who hate Country music (you know who you are) can get down with this:


That goes hard.

As a rock fan and a Country fan, I appreciate the hell out of that.

This is just the beginning for Avery Anna, and you can find out more about her, get tour dates, etc. at https://www.averyannamusic.com/

I can’t wait to see what she does next. She’s such a great talent.

Bruno Mars, Slash, and Duff McKagan Covering Nirvana

Last week, there was a private holiday party in Los Angeles for billionaire Todd Boehly of the holding company Eldridge Industries.

So, who would a billionaire hire for entertainment?

An all-star cover band featuring Bruno Mars, Slash, Duff McKagan, Eddie Vedder, Anthony Keidis and Brandi Carlisle.

Holy freaking macaroni.

One of the notable performances of the evening?

Bruno Mars smashing a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with Slash and Duff on Guns N’ Roses:

 

Ok, Bruno Mars needs to put out a rock album, like, yesterday.

I’m blown away over here.

I’m also insanely jealous of who got to see this magic live.

Sigh.

It’s good to be rich!

Aerosmith, YUNGBLUD, and Lainey Wilson “Wild Woman”

I am all kinds of here for this.

Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD recently put out an EP called “One More Time”, and they just teamed up with Country superstar Lainey Wilson for a pretty badass version of “Wild Woman”.

Lainey is a great addition to this already solid song:


I have always loved Aerosmith, and Lainey is one of my favorite modern Country singers, so yeah, I’m all about it.

Steven Tyler sounds pretty good, doesn’t he? With all his recent vocal issues, it’s good to hear him still rip- even if it’s just in a studio.

A little bit of Steven Tyler is better than none, am I right?

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!

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…
