I love this photo of Tony Iommi from the farewell show last weekend.

When I was a teen crust/hardcore punk kid in the mid 90s, I picked up a demo tape at a #Detestation show in #Portland featuring this cover of #BlackSabbath's song "Children of the Grave". Hadn't thought about it in nearly 30 years, but was reminded this weekend.

Remarkable cover of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, with Steven Tyler, Tom Morello, Nunoo Bettencourt, Chad Smith, and others.
One for the history books.

The French band Gojira are now giving a rock masterclass on stage. Think Motorhead meets Rage Against the Machine, but now a real opera singer is singing about the French Revolution.
The best of Back to the Beggining so far: Halestorm and Supergroup A with bandmembers from Megadeth, Faith no More, Anthrax and others. With the Anthrax incarnation being the very best so far. Alice in Chains are on stage right now, they sound like a very competent band but they're lacking anger, or vodka, or both.

That was an excellent performance by Halestorm. Well constructed songs, sometimes veering into hard rock, sometimes anthemic a la Iron Maiden, sometimes integrating a richer rhythm dynamics kind of Metallica.
Great work so far!

"Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning"
