Made to be destroyed.

During the last year, Geezer Butler revealed that his wife Gloria and Ozzy's wife/manager Sharon Osbourne were not speaking to each other and that made both Sabbath colleagues to not talk to each other regularly anymore. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Ozzy even said that he was upset that Butler didn't sent him a message, after some health scares, to ask him how he was feeeling. But now in an interview with Eddie Trunk (Transcribed by Blabbermouth), Butler revealed that he did sent a lot of messages to Ozzy but they were not being delivered to the singer. So now he explained that the miscommunication issue was resolved and they are on good terms again. The bassist also said that like Tony Iommi and Ozzy, he would totally be part of a final Black Sabbath show featuring the original drummer Bill Ward, since the musician wasn't part of their farewell tour. Geezer Butler says he and Ozzy are on good terms again "Of course there's an interest (of doing a final Sabbath show, on my part). But there's a big 'but'. You'd have to speak to Bill about it. Everybody wants to do it. (But I don't know if he is) capable (doing it)." He was then asked if he believed Bill would be able to play the drums in the studio or during a show. Geezer said: "I don't think so. Maybe, I don't know. I mean, the way technical things happen these days, maybe a couple of songs. But who knows? There wouldn't be any traveling involved. We wouldn't be actually all in the studio at the same time together. So it could be done that way — maybe". "Ozzy was hoping to finish it all off next year back in Aston, at the Aston Villa (Football stadium in Aston, Birmingham). I'm definitely up for it, to finish the whole thing off. Me and Ozzy have agreed, but I'm not sure about anybody else." About talking to Ozzy and being on good terms again, Geezer said: "Every day practically (I talk to him). There was a lot of miscommunication. He didn't think I was asking about his health 'cause I know he's been going through a lot of health problems. I was sending all these messages to him and they weren't being passed on to him. So he thought I was just ignoring him." "And then the weird way I had to go through Sabbath's accountant to tell Ozzy I'd sent him all these things. 'Cause he did this thing in Rolling Stone saying that I hadn't been in touch with him about his health. So I went through the accountant. (Then) he got in touch with Ozzy and said, 'He's just been sending you stuff. He wants to talk to you.' And we've been fine since that," Geezer Butler said. During the same interview the bassist and songwriter said that Bill Ward doesn't use email. Butler doesn't like to talk on the phone, so he usually send the e-mails to Ward's wife, who then passes on to him. He also said that still plays the bass everyday. Because instead of going to gym, for example, he goes to his studio and plays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1K4ZNiPG1U&pp=ygUZYmxhY2sgc2FiYmF0aCByZXVuaW9uIDE5OQ%3D%3DThe post Geezer Butler says he and Ozzy are on good terms again appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Although the original Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery returned to the band in 2022 and was touring with the group, the band's original line-up was still incomplete on the road because the guitarist Dave Navarro was not playing since 2022 because of the issues he was facing after long Covid.

The legendary Metallica co-founder, guitarist, singer and main songwriter James Hetfield talked in an interview for the Metallica Report about the insecurity and the nightmares he usually has before the band start a tour. For decades the musician talked about how he deals with anxiety and insecurity. During this conversation he shared details of the nightmares he usually has before the band hits the road and he explained how he learned to deal with them. James Hetfield talks about nightmares and insecurity before touring "(Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar) Over the last month, I will say that the normal thing happens, where I start to doubt myself. I start to feel insecure. (Thinking) 'Well, we're old, we can't do this, blah, blah, blah,' — all that bullshit everyone tells themselves before they go into something they care about." "So, having the nightmares (about how) I'm the only one who cares about what we're doing here. 'Where is everybody?' I show up at the gig, everyone's goofing off, or there's 200 people backstage and (thinking), 'Where's my stuff? Where's the setlist? What songs are we doing?' And then, typical things like the guitar neck is made of rubber, and there's only two strings on it." "And, 'Where's my roadie?', and the guitar cord won't let me get to the microphone. Silly stuff like that. That has to happen, and I don't freak out over it. All you do is you practice, and then you build that comes back pretty quickly. It's part of the cycle; it just is. You have anxiety build up, and don't let it get the best of ya because you have that balance of anxiety and faith. And as soon as you get up there, it's all gonna be good," James Hetfield said. Metallica has an extensive touring schedule in 2024 to promote their latest album "72 Seasons" released in 2023. They will perform in Europe and North America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmpKRI7rKSYThe post James Hetfield talks about nightmares and insecurity before touring appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The legendary Aerosmith co-founder and guitarist Joe Perry started his career six decades ago, in 1965, when he was still a teenager. Since then he had the chance to see the evolution of Rock and Roll music up-close and obviously see a huge number of incredible artists playing over the years. Although he had many incredible musical experiences and heard a lot of music, there are a few songs that still makes him get emotional. He even revealed once, which is the song that still gives him goosebumps. The song that the Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said still gives him goosebumps Perry was heavily influenced by the music made in the United Kingdom in the 60s and early 70s and some of his biggest heroes appeared there during that era. Two of them are John Mayall and Eric Clapton, who worked together and released in 1966 the album "Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton". As Joe Perry told Guitar World in 2013, the song "Steppin' Out", from that album, is one that still gives him goosebumps. "I don't think I've ever heard such intense playing and such a great solo with so much attitude on it. And the tone was revolutionary. Everybody else played with that country twang up 'tiI then. The Beatles had some juice when it came to distortion. But Clapton was finally able to break through those early studio engineers' fear of overloading." He continued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HquRIGE6zDA&pp=ygUXc3RlcHBpbiBvdXQgam9obiBtYXlhbGw%3D "He defined the sound that guitarists spend the rest of their lives trying to get. There's so much expression in his phrasing and the harmonics. That song still gives me goosebumps," Joe Perry said. The song was originally composed and recorded by the American artist L.C Frazier, also known as Memphis Slim in 1959. Besides Mayall and Clapton, at the time the band covered the song, was formed by John McVie (Bass) and Hughie Flint (Drums). Perry is really a big fan of the track and even included the song many times on the setlist of his solo shows. The song was played many times during his most recent Joe Perry Project tour in 2023. It is one of his favorite albums of all time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3BEaxrrhbI&pp=ygUVam9lIHBlcnJ5IHN0ZXBwaW4gb3V0 In an interview with Best Life magazine in 2004, Joe Perry listed his 10 favorite albums of all time. One of them, of course, was "Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton" (1966). He explained that it was a really important album for him in the early days of his passion for music. “This came out in 1966 and was an important record for me growing up. It was hands down the cornerstone for the classic Les Paul blues sound. The song ‘All Your Love’ was one of the first songs Aerosmith learned together as a band. And the instrumental ‘Steppin’ Out’ just kicks ass. There’s so much fire on this record. I still listen to it and shake my head,” Joe Perry said. Before he became famous with Aerosmith, Joe Perry had the chance to see John Mayall live By the late 60s, many incredible British bands were touring across the United States. Boston was one of those cities where they used to visit. So Perry had the chance to see many amazing acts in small clubs and one of them was John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers. However, at that time Clapton was no longer a member of the group. But he saw them with the amazing future Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, who was in the band for the first time from 1967 to 1969. He recalled that experience in an interview with Rock Scene Magazine back in 2018 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage). “He (Mick Taylor) was playing a Les Paul, SG, slide guitar. That’s when I got turned on to slide guitar as well. The main thing is (I started) underneath the songs and seeing who is playing these things,” Joe Perry said.The post The song that Joe Perry said still gives him goosebumps appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
