Here's a clip from the DVD - and it's pretty darn good: "Mama Weer All Crazee Now." I gotta say, I dig it.

The Metallica Tour Will Be A Long One

Lars Ulrich thinks the Metallica tour could last into 2020. That's a pretty long time. I mean, Metallica has already been out off and on for the past two years. This isn't exactly a band that loves to be together on the road for huge stretches of time, but maybe traveling high on the hog helps. It's not like they are all on one bus anymore.

I was planning on seeing the Columbus, Ohio stop in January but I'm going on a Disney cruise instead. I need to be somewhere warm where there's no snow. Come to think of it, I should just move to California. Winter sucks. To me, concerts and summer go hand in hand. If I lived in California, it would feel like endless summer to me and all the good bands are basically based there anyway.

Ozzy Osbourne Announces Tour Dates

Ozzy Osbourne has announced his No More 2 tour and Megadeth will provide support. Lots of dates all around the country - make sure to check them out. The official tour announcement from Ozzy's official website is below.

Click the Twitter picture below for the dates. Tickets go on sale Friday. There's a Citi credit card pre-sale too. I don't have a Citi card (but I have about six different versions of American Express, go figure) so I'll be sitting out the pre-sale I guess.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter OZZY OSBOURNE has announced additional North American tour dates for 2019. For these shows, OSBOURNE will be backed by his longtime collaborators Zakk Wylde (Guitar), Blasko (Bass), Tommy Clufetos (Drums) and Adam Wakeman (Keyboards), with Megadeth supporting for the entire North American run.

Tickets for the 2019 North American “NO MORE TOURS 2” shows go on sale to the general public starting Friday, November 9 at 10:00 AM local time at LiveNation.com and through the Live Nation app. Citi is the official presale credit card of the tour. As such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase presale tickets beginning Tuesday, November 6 at 10:00AM (local time) until Thursday, November 8 at 10:00 PM (local time) through Citi’s Private Pass® program. For complete presale details visit www.citiprivatepass.com.

The “NO MORE TOURS 2” tour launched in May 2018 in Santiago, Chile for solo shows in three countries followed by a six-week European leg of headlining solo dates and festival performances. A North American tour followed kicking off August 30 in Allentown, PA, with the final four shows of that leg of the tour postponed for OZZY to recover from an infection. Those four shows–Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas–will now conclude the 2019 dates. Tickets for these rescheduled dates are on sale now at LiveNation.com. The trek will also include a newly announced June 11 stop at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Prior to his 2019 dates, OZZY will headline a special New Year’s Eve OZZFEST spectacular at the Forum in Los Angeles.

On his upcoming farewell world tour, produced by Live Nation, OSBOURNE will celebrate more than five decades as a performer (both as a solo artist and as lead singer of Black Sabbath which formed in 1968). This tour, expected to take OZZY around the world with dates into 2020, will mark the end of global touring for the legendary artist, though he will continue to perform select live shows in the future. Throughout his career, OZZY has sold more than 100 million records.

This will mark the first time Megadeth will join OSBOURNE for a full tour, although they have performed together previously at OZZFEST and other festivals around the world. Megadeth burst onto the scene thirty years ago, virtually inventing a genre with their debut album Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good! (recently recognized by VH1 as the Greatest Thrash Metal Debut Album of All Time) sold more than 38 million albums worldwide, earning numerous accolades including a 2017 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Metal Performance” for the title track of their fifteenth studio album Dystopia, 11 additional GRAMMY® nominations, a SILVER CLIO for their Dystopia campaign and scored five consecutive platinum albums—including 1992’s two-million-selling Countdown to Extinction.

'Bohemian Rhapsody' Movie Review

Bohemian Rhapsody was released Friday night. The long-awaited Queen quasi-biopic was high on my list. I saw the film last night and I was not disappointed.

Many critics panned the film. Funny that, because it was a box office smash and I expect it to continue to do well.

Yes, Bohemian Rhapsody takes liberty with the facts of Freddie Mercury's life and miggles with the timeline of events at times. But the biggest pieces of Freddie's life remain in tact: his lifelong love of Mary Austin, the closeness he shared with the other members of Queen and his passion for cats.

Seeing the classic performances recreated was such a treat, from Top of the Pops before the bands broke big and ending with the soaring Live Aid performance. I attended a matinee performance (cheaper seats!) and there were quite a few others in the show as well. There was a lot of laughter and then head bopping to the great tunes.

Rami Malek did an amazing job as Freddie Mercury. He deserves an award for this performance and he just might get it. That's because the critics are often wrong - and they were this time for sure. Go see it, escape for two hours and enjoy the music we love all over again.

Buckcherry Release Nine Inch Nails Cover

Ok I didn't see this one coming. Buckcherry are still a band and just dropped a surprise cover of the Nine Inch Nails classic "Head Like A Hole." The band is working on an album of new material. This is a cover "for fans to enjoy." From my inbox:

Buckcherry will be bringing their live show to California for a handful of headline dates this January before heading overseas for their month long February European tour. Expect a jam-packed year full of touring in support of their forthcoming album.

Buckcherry - Head Like A Hole

Formed in 1995, Buckcherry is an American rock band from Anaheim, California, who throughout their 20 plus year career has had two Top 10 Billboard Top 200 Hits, they are RIAA Gold (Buchcherry) and Platinum (15) certified, and have over 55 million streams on Spotify. Now the band is gearing up to dominate the rock world once again with the release their seventh full-length studio album this spring.

'I'll Never Let You Go'

Steelheart has released an official live video of their most famous song "I'll Never Let You Go." The track is from Rock'n Milan, due December 7 via Frontiers. One of my husband's favorite songs, period. It doesn't get much better than this.
