Oh, no! And just before KISS was going to have their first full classic lineup reunion since 2000. My thoughts and prayers are Paul, Gene, and Peter.😢

Paul 'Ace' Frehley, lead guitarist and cofounder of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Kiss, has died. He was 74.

Words cannot possibly describe the experience that it is Linkin Park in concert. I was not ready for how tight the whole band was, how powerful they sounded, how elaborate the projection and laser effects were gonna be, and how engaging the set from start to finish was, featuring a mix of classic favorites as well as plenty of selections off the new From Zero record. Although it is sad that Chester Bennington’s tragic su***de in 2017 prevented him from returning with Mike and the other remaining original members for their first PDX show since 2004 (may his memory be eternal), new singer Emily Armstrong’s unyielding and phenomenal voice powered through every high note and ferocious growl she had to give for 2 hours!

I’ve never seen an audience either sing along with all the songs as much as they did tonight like on classic songs “Numb” and “What I’ve Done” among others, even at other concerts for singalong bands like Journey or Foo Fighters. During “Faint,” some boys even started mosh pitting like it was the year 2000 again! What an unforgettable night and one of the most magical concerts I never expected to experience. Thank you, Linkin Park.

What a fun day celebrating 10 years of RiverCity Rock Star Academy in Salem, Oregon! I still remember back when I joined the Woodstock Rockers program in senior year of high school 2018, and it changed my life! Now I’ve been working here as a staff member for nearly 2 years in my first ever real job and I’m so grateful for getting to make more memories with some of the coolest students and fellow faculty/staff this side of the Willamette!

Memory Eternal, Prince Of Darkness. Mama, he’s coming home. Sad to hear he finally gave up his spirit just weeks after his farewell concert, but at least his suffering and health afflictions are finally over.😢🙏🏻🤘✝️

The Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath concert livestream was amazing beyond what words can give it credit! Love how every band covered a Sabbath or Ozzy song to pay tribute. And Tom Morello’s all-star jam group performance had some great highlights including (to my obvious delight) a 3 way drum battle between Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Travis Barker from Blink-182, and Danny Carey from Tool! Other highlights included Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins singing Judas Priest’s “Breaking The Law” with founding guitarist KK Downing, former Ozzy backing musicians Rudy Sarzo and Jake E. Lee being part of the performance, Sammy Hagar singing Ozzy’s “Flying High Again”, and a surprise comeback performance by Steven Tyler after Aerosmith canceled its farewell tour due to Steven’s larynx troubles!

I’m so happy and thankful that Ozzy got this chance to not only play the final show in his solo career he was so determined and hopeful to have, but that he got to share it with his OG Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for a farewell performance by them as well in their hometown of Birmingham (England, not Alabama). They still got it! It’s great too they were supported by all the bands and artists they either grew up with or influenced as the forefathers of heavy metal! And I pray all four of them will have an easy time transitioning to life after the concert stage to spend time with their families. Particularly for Ozzy, I pray he’ll be able to continue to fight his Parkinson’s and that he’ll be able to record more new music now that he doesn’t have to play live anymore.

Other highlights from the other bands? Metallica’s whole set, just the whole thing (I loved “Battery” transitioning into “Master Of Puppets” so seamlessly)! Halestorm’s whole set too and Lzzy’s powerful voice! Pantera performing their version of Sabbath’s “Planet Caravan” during their set. Lamb Of God covering “Children Of The Grave.” Jack Black’s and Fred Durst’s pre-recorded renditions of “Mr. Crowley” and “Changes,” respectively. Guns N Roses did four Sabbath covers before launching into “Welcome To The Jungle” and “Paradise City.” Jason Momoa made a great MC and hype man for the concert!

Overall, concert was a total 11/10! All tribute concerts should be structured like this from this point forth!
