A truly HORRIFYING 'Would you rather' question

The former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee will be part of Ozzy Osbourne's final show, which will happen before Black Sabbath's final show, which will happen in Birmingham, England next July 5. In an interview with Guitar World, the musician revealed that he might perform the song "Ultimate Sin" during the celebration. Jake E. Lee talks about playing at Ozzy Osbourne's final show “I know people are expecting Bark at the Moon, but I don’t know. Right now, with my wrist, the arthritis and everything, that would be very challenging. I have a couple of months to get up to it, so I’ll practice it just in case that’s the one. But that’s going to be pretty challenging for me physically. I'm shooting for Ultimate Sin. It's heavy, and I like the solo in it,” Jake E. Lee said. In 2024, Jake E. Lee was shot in Las Vegas while taking a walk with his dog at night. The police reported that he was shot at 15 times. Thankfully, only 3 bullets hit him, missing his vital organs. He was struck in the chest, arm, and foot but now is almost fully recovered. The 67 year-old guitarist was born in Norfolk, Virginia and started his musical career in 1980. He first achieved fame after he became a member of Ozzy Osbourne’s band in 1982, not long after the tragic death of the guitarist Randy Rhoads. With the former Black Sabbath vocalist, he recorded two praised studio albums: “Bark at The Moon” (1983) and “Ultimate Sin” (1986). After that he recorded with groups like Badlands, Wicked Alliance, Mickey Ratt, Enuff Z’Nuff and Red Dragon Cartel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_ypaOIVmaA&pp=ygUMdWx0aW1hdGUgc2lu Black Sabbath's final show The all-day event will also feature a supergroup of musicians.

The Metallica vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield never had a problem in talking about his mental health struggles. He even addressed that to the audience during a show back in 2022 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil (That I attended). During a Q&A session following the screening at New York's Tribeca Festival of the band's new documentary, "Metallica Save My Life", he talked about those issues. James Hetfield opens up about his mental health struggles "When I get up on stage, I feel so much more comfortable up there than I do in regular life a lot of the times. I feel like I'm so easily able to be me with these fans, and the more I'm me, the more they like it. It's just so opposite of how I was brought up. Being yourself wasn't always welcomed for some reason." "But speaking my truth up there and other people understanding that truth, the four of us have gone through so much together, and we care about this a lot because a lot is still happening for us even into our fourth decade as a band. It's gotten better every decade. It's okay to be human and to fuck up and learn from it." "And that's why we're here. We're here to learn. And we learn from each other. And if you don't try, you don't learn. So, I've grown probably the most in the darkest of times. So accepting the great stuff and the dark stuff as just life… Life isn't happening to me; it's happening with me." James Hetfield continued: "I've learned so much about myself and other people on how to live life better and to not take things completely seriously and to be on stage and be yourself. We get to do that. I got the best job in the world. The end. The family around you has to deal with that as well. You come home and they go out of their way to make you not a prima donna. 'Here's your list of shit to do.' 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was just pampered.'" "We know we all have our own rituals that we have to go through. The coming down off the tour and the ramping up, all the nightmares of guitars made of rubber and I can't get to the microphone. There's lots of those dreams, anxiety dreams before. And what I've noticed about myself is that I build up stuff in my head so much, but as soon as I get behind that microphone, all is well. And there's a part of the objectification that we have to deal with…" He continued: "And I've really worked on not fighting that, but just accepting it more and just realizing that these people are expressing themselves because of what you've done in their life. I have no idea what they're going through. They think they know me and they really don't. I don't have time to get to know everybody. But it is really great to be able to go home and feel comfortable in whatever our hometowns are. And we just feel, like, 'Okay, we just get to be people again.' But we get the best of both worlds. So no complaints here at all," James Hetfield said (Transcribed by Blabbermouth). James Hetfield is a great example that anyone can go through mental health problems, and it's not something that goes away quickly. It's a daily battle. So if you also deal with that, don’t forget to seek specialized help, talk to family and friends. You are not alone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMmeuxenRuoThe post James Hetfield opens up about his mental health struggles appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Wolfgang Van Halen grew up seeing his father Eddie and his uncle Alex playing in Van Halen and had the chance to learn a lot from them. It's not a coincidence that he is an accomplished musician and besides writing and singing the songs from the albums he released as Mammoth, he also played all the instruments. In an interview with Drumeo, the musician talked mainly about drums and explained why his uncle Al is underrated and is one of the greatest drummers of all time. Wolfgang explains why Alex Van Halen is one of the best drummers in history "I think if he wasn't in a band with Eddie Van Halen, I think he would be lauded as one of the best, greatest drummers of all time, as rightfully, people do already - the people that really fucking get it. Especially seeing the show live, it's like you have Dave fucking jumping around and doing pirouettes and shit, and then you got all the crazy shit dad's doing." And really, how do you pay attention to Alex Van Halen's drumming, when there's a whole show happening in front of him? Wolf pointed this out and noted that if you really listen, there's a treasure trove of sound beneath: "There's so much happening, you can't really even lock in on the fact that Alex is just demolishing everything in the most amazing way. I think he's the closest drummer out there that ever got close to bottom in terms of that feel." "When you hear Al play, you know it's him. I don't think anybody on the planet has a more locked-in double-kick shuffle than Al did. Like on 'I'm the One,' obviously 'Hot for Teacher.' It's just unreal how perfect it is," Wolfgang Van Halen said (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar). Wolfgang formed his band Mammoth back in 2015 and the name is a reference to an early band formed by his father Eddie and uncle Alex before Van Halen. Since then he released two studio albums: “Mammoth WVH” (2021) and “Mammoth II” (2023). All the songs from both albums were written by him and he also recorded all the instruments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VREI1t4BN4o&t=1sThe post Wolfgang explains why Alex Van Halen is one of the best drummers in history appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
