Broken Peach “Call Me/I Was Made For Lovin’ You”

I just now discovered Broken Peach and I am already obsessed.

Broken Peach is a rock and sould band that specializes in mash-ups and having thier own unique sound, which is rare for a cover band.

Check out their latest release- a mash-up of Blondie’s “Call Me” and Kiss “I Was Made For Loving You”.

This is easily the coolest thing I have seen/heard in a while:

Absolutely the coolest.

Now excuse me while I dive down the rabbit hole on this incredible band.

“Thunderstruck” Halloween Light Display

Tis’ the season for excessive Halloween Light Shows, and I am all for it.

One video that is making the rounds his Halloween season is this  AC/DC “Thunderstruck” display, and I can’t even begin to imagine how much this cost.


Ok, the Pumpkin Broadcasters are a little much, but the actual light display is badass!

I love classic rock, and also, this is the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders signature song (don’t ask me why, but I love me some DCC!) so I really enjoyed the heck out of this.

The company that puts on these incredible displays is called Magical Light Shows, and you can get more info at magicallightshows.com and also on the youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TomBetGeorge

Yes, I totally went down the light show rabbit hole.

Seriously impressive.

If Iron Maiden Covered ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”

I love stuff like this.

Another favorite creator of mine is Moonic Productions, and he’s always doing random mash-ups that shouldn’ work, but they do.

Like this version of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” in the style of Iron Maiden.

Brilliant.


Don’t lie. You were totally rocking out to that.

Stevie Nicks on SNL!

In case you missed it, Stevie Nicks took to the stage on “Saturday Night Live” tp perform one of her solo classics “Edge of Seventeen”, and yep, the icon still has it!

Remember, she’s 76:

Dang. Go Stevie!

I love seeing all these classic rockers doing their thing well into their seventies and eighties.

I know there are some who like to think that artists should retire at a certain age, but I am not one of them. Do your thing as long as you want!

Rock and Roll knows no age.

 

Chappell Roan Covers Heart’s “Barracuda” in Concert

Chappell Roan is everywhere this year, as she should be.

She burst onto the scene earlier this year with her smash hit “Good Luck, Babe” which is catchy as HELL, and now is heating up the charts with her new single “HOT TO GO”. I absolutely love her music, which is described as “Dark Pop” by some, and her talent is really impressive. If you go down the rabbit hole and check out videos of her before she became famous, trust me, you will be hella impressed.

In the meantime, prepare to be impressed by Chappell Roan’s recent cover of one of her favorite songs- the iconic Heart track from the late 70’s “Barracuda”:

Um, HELLO!

I love how Chappell Roan made it her own, and didn’t try to be exactly like the original. Which is hard for ANYONE to do, as Anne Wilson of Heart is next freaking level vocally.

And let’s talk about her band- some amazingly women are on this stage. I absolutely love seeing this!

Chappell Roan is just getting started… although she says she may quit eventually as fame isn’t really for her. (Can’t blame her there… being famous sounds fun for maybe five minutes, then it sounds horrific.)

That being said, you might want to catch her before she bails… she seems like she puts on one hell of a show.

Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”

Well, this was an unexpected treat.

Country star Nate Smith has teamed up with Punk/Pop superstar Avril Lavigne for one hell of a duet called “Can You Die From a Broken Heart”.

It’s freaking fantastic.

No, really, both have incredible voices that soar over over the notes, and the melody of the song is beautiful.


Yep, I love it!

I knew something was brewing when the two were seen together in Nashville last year.  I was hoping for a collab, and here we are!

Also, Avril’s voice is still badass.

“Can You Die From a Broken Heart” is off of Nate Smith’s new album “California Gold” out Friday.

Jelly Roll on “Saturday Night Live”!

Last night was the kickoff of the 50th Season of “Saturday Night Live” and Jelly Roll was the musical guest.

Dude is EVERYWHERE these days, and he is owning pretty much every performance.

Last night was no different, as he rocked his latest release to Rock radio “Liar” and a new song called “Winning Streak”:


Solid work.

Jelly Roll’s new album “Beautifully Broken” comes out October 11th, and you can get his tour dates at http://JellyRoll615.com

David Gilmour and Daughter Romany Perform “Wish You Were Here”

This was really cool to see.

David Gilmour- of the iconic band Pink Floyd- crashed his daughter Romany’s London pub gig last week, and they performed a gorgeous version of Pink Floyd’s classic “Wish You Were Here::

How cool was that, though?

Can you imagine your dad being David Gilmour. Like, whatttttt????

Romany Gilmour has clearly inherited some of her father’s stellar genes, and is a talented singer/songwriter herself. Check her out https://www.instagram.com/romanygilmour/
Also, Pink Floyd is life.

There will never be another band like them.

11 Year-Old Girl SLAYS Metallica On “America’s Got Talent”

Holy Freaking Prodigy.

Last week, 11 year-old Maya Neelakatantan took to the “America’s Got Talent” Stage and totally owned her version of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” on the electric guitar.

Such an unexpected- and totally badass- performance!

She’s 11.

That’s it. 11.

I’m 41 and can maybe bust out 3 chords on my guitars.

What’s really cool is, this is the first time that Metallica gave permission for one of their songs to be performed on a reality TV singing competition.

I don’t think they could have granted that right to a better contestant.

Check out more of what Maya’s got on her YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdJ0KIrFTR6cKV8vfszPaXA
