Life is all about balance… I feel like as we grow up, and the realities of getting older become a factor, like joints hurting, hangovers hitting a little harder, and not being able to drink like you used to, you have to find ways to make adjustments. Whether it’s cutting back on the calories with what you’re drinking, hitting the gym during the week to make sure your slower metabolism doesn’t catch up to you, or meal prepping so you aren’t treating your body like a trash can, life is all about finding balance. And there is a way to still indulge in your vices without overdoing it. For musicians, especially touring musicians, they have to go out of their way to find this balance. Being on the road for most of the year and partying after the shows does not lead to the most healthy of lifestyles. However, over the last year, we have seen a lot of younger artists learn how to balance the excitement of being a country star with making sure they are working out and eating healthy(ish) while on the road. Gavin Adcock has shared that he enjoys cold plunges while touring to keep his body feeling good after running around the stage all night, and they help his hangovers. He’s not the only one who has jumped on the trend of cold plunges; Dierks Bentley has also shared that he enjoys doing them while on the road, and has done so for years… well before it was trendy. In a recent Instagram video, Bentley highlights his makeshift cold plunge made out of a trashcan, and recruited his tour opener, Zach Top, to do it with him. If Zach Top‘s forthcoming record’s title, Ain’t In It for My Health, is any indicator of his current lifestyle, I’d go out on a limb to say that a cold plunge is not something that is often in his daily routine. Nevertheless, Bentley convinced him to join a cold plunge competition, where they would see how long they could withstand the freezing temperatures. Bentley starts off the video showing that the plunge is 29 degrees, and questions how Zach Top will hold up. “I need a fresh beer and a cigarette.” Top says before he strips down to get into the cold plunge – so things are off to a good start. But before he’s ready to brave the freezing conditions, Zach Top takes off his shirt and hilariously forgets that he had drawn on abs from what can be presumed was the night before. Once the two are in the cold plunge, more ice is added (which sounds like my worst nightmare), and Zach Top appears to be straight chilling with a cigarette in his hand. It’s kind of a vibe, honestly. Dierks Bentley then starts sharing that Zach Top has lasted longer than many other artists he has toured with, including the “Worst Way” singer, Riley Green. “Get ****, Riley Green. Just kidding, buddy. Love you.”  Zach Top hilariously responds after learning that fact. Bentley continues to name off other artists he has surpassed: “Parker McCollum. Travis Denning was in it for about two seconds. Jordan Davis, you’ve already smoked Jordan Davis.” After a good bit, the two get out of the cold plunge at the same time, so there is no clear winner of who lasted longer in this “challenge.” I need more health content from Zach Top because this is the kind of lifestyle I’m currently living. Life’s all about balance, am I right?

During the livestream of Black Sabbath's final show/festival Back to the Beginning, many special messages from famous artists and fans were shown. One of them stood out: actor and comedian Jack Black, dressed like early-80s Ozzy in the classic "Mr. Crowley" video, performed the track with a band made up entirely of young kids. But who are the kids who played the Ozzy Osbourne hit "Mr. Crowley" with Jack Black? It's actually a kind of kids' supergroup, since the fathers of two of them are famous musicians. The band's line-up had: Roman Morello (Guitar) - Son of the Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello, who was also the music curator of Sabbath's final show. Revel Ian (Bass) - The son of the Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian played the bass guitar. He is also the grandson of the late Meat Loaf. Yoyoka Soma (Drums) - Japanese drumming prodigy Hugo Weis (Keyboards) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm-M8GvgYws Jack Black has always been a huge fan of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. He was the one who inducted Ozzy into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2024. The final show of the Metal legends happened last July 5, at the Villa Park in Birmingham, their hometown. Besides the two headliners, many famous artists were part of the “tribute festival“, like Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Guns N’ Roses, Steven Tyler, Papa V Perpetua, Sammy Hagar, Jake E. Lee, Billy Corgan and Nuno Bettencourt. The bands performed Black Sabbath and Ozzy covers, but also played some of their most famous songs in small sets, of 3 to 6 songs. Many covers from other bands were also performed, like the supergroup with Steven Tyler on vocals, which played for example, Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". Ozzy Osbourne sang five songs of his solo career and four more with Black Sabbath.The post Who are the kids who played “Mr. Crowley” with Jack Black appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

The drummer for Pearl Jam over the past 27 years, Matt Cameron is no longer a member of the band. The news was shared by both him and the band, but it is not clear why the departure happened or who made the decision. Both statements do not reveal much about the circumstances; Matt and the band simply thanked each other for the collaboration and friendship over the years. Read what Matt Cameron and Pearl Jam said: Matt Cameron's statement "After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam. Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter. I am forever grateful to the crew, staff and fans the world over. It’s been an incredible journey. More to follow. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Peace and Love," Matt Cameron said. Pearl Jam's statement "From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skinyard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer." "He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings. It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always. He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music. We love you Matt," the band said. Cameron was born in San Diego, California in 1962 and started his musical career at a young age in 1975. He is one of the most important members of Grunge music, since he is a classic member of Soundgarden, played with Pearl Jam and was also part of the supergroup Temple of The Dog. Besides those works he also released two solo albums "Cavedweller" (2017) and "Gory Scorch Cretins" (2023). With Pearl Jam he was part of all their records since "Binaural", released in 2000. The final one was "Dark Matter", released in 2024. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruyWftp2UFIThe post Matt Cameron is no longer Pearl Jam’s drummer appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
