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!

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!

Lady Gaga and Brian Johnson of AC/DC Performing “Highway to Hell” on “Carpool Karaoke”!

Well, this is pretty damn cool.

“Carpool Karaoke” is back for a holiday edition, and Lady Gaga is joined by Brian Johnson of AC/DC for an impromptu version of “Highway to Hell”, and of course, it’s badass:

Damn. Lady Gaga is next level on the talent scale.

And now I can’t stop singing “Highway to Hell”. Just not nearly as good as Gaga does it.

You can watch the full version on Apple TV+- available now.

Here’s the teaser for it- Gaga, Chappell Roan AND Dua Lipa?

Hell yes!

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.

Check out more mash-ups and re-imagined songs here: https://www.youtube.com/@moonicproductions

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.
