The Prince Of Darkness: Final Tour

You can not be a true rock and roll fan if you haven't heard of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne or Black Sabbath. In the latest news from the Rolling Stones, they announced that Ozzy is going to do his last world tour ever, called "No More Tours 2", this year. This is a huge, bittersweet step in his long-going career, because he is 70 years old. Ozzy also told the Rolling Stones that he is not retiring from music and performing, but he just wants to be close to home and continue small gigs. Ozzy has been going solo for almost 40 years since he was kicked out of the band Black Sabbath but to no avail still managed to pave the way for rock music. Up until his start as lead singer with Black Sabbath in the early 70's, rock music never had a "heavy" feel or as some might say "dark" undertone. It was the beginning of what we now know as the genre of heavy metal and songs like "Paranoid", "Iron Man", and "War Pigs" changed the game and gained a massive fan following. To make things short, Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath because of his life off-stage that was consumed by drugs and darkness which ultimately gave him the name, "The Prince Of Darkness". However, this major struggle gave him massive inspiration in his solo career and many albums produced after the band breakup would reach multi-platinum status. I would encourage any major fans to take this one last shot to see such a record breaking artist. ( My favorite album of his would be Blizzard of Ozz, with my favorite song being "Mr.Crowley". As for Black Sabbath, I am obsessed with the songs "No More Tears" and "Orchid". The link is the Rolling Stones Article from where I got some info.)

    Good job. The final tour is the content that makes the info relevant to current readers. Would have been good to see that in the title.

Image
Rolling Stone Magazine came out with an online article ( Here: Guns N' Roses  ) that spoke further about the band's new reissue of their seminal debut album, Appetite for Destruction, that is set to arrive June 29th. The album includes their best hits, unreleased tracks, live songs, and even covers. ( They even have a cover of Elvis Presley's song Heartbreak Hotel. ) The article also has a list of all the songs and more info. Let's get started with the start of this legendary rock band that formed in 1985 from Los Angeles, California with its members including the following: vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Steven Adler.  Guns N' Roses has released six studio albums, accumulating sales of more than 100 million records worldwide, including 45 million in the United States, making them the 41st best-selling artist of all time.  Their Not in This Lifetime tour is currently the fourth highest-gross

UPDATED 5SOS: Coming Back Strong with New Song and Video

Image
5SOS ( pronounced five-sauce) stands for the band Five Seconds Of Summer. They are an Australian pop punk band who are returning with new music and probably a new album after taking a two year break. ( Makes me wonder how long One Directions 'break' is going to be. Shade ). The band formed in 2011 and hit fame in 2014 with their song She Looks So Perfect and when they became an opening act on tour for One Direction. They are inspired by Blink-182 who are a pop punk band as well. Currently, they have two albums out and both have added up to just under two million records sold. If they are starting up again, that definitely means a new album is coming and I have a feeling it will have a lot more pop than their past albums. Their new song is called, Want You Back and their music video already has a million views. This new song is different than most of their previous songs, it really shows their pop side. To be honest, I am not a big fan just because I want more of a rock tone bu

Depeche Mode Tour Success: SOLD OUT

Image
Depeche Mode's global tour that started in 2017, the Spirit Tour, just entered Latin America last month and the band is seeing tons of success in that more than 2.5 million people have gone to their shows and each show averages 1.8 million dollars. They set a record for having four sold out shows at the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It is crazy that after almost 40 years since the bands start in 1980, their is still a huge fan base that overwhelmingly supports their music and shows. I have even thought about going myself to see them. Depeche Mode is an English electronic rock band that consists of its three members Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, and Andy Fletcher. They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have sold over 100 million records worldwide, and are rank number 98 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". I would recommend listening to  Personal Jesus ,  Policy of Truth , and  Enjoy The Silence . These songs are so unique which really makes them stand
