Classic Rock 93.9

Yungblud plans to honor the late Ozzy Osbourne by covering the Black Sabbath song “Changes” at every one of his shows.

The “Fleabag” rocker performed the Vol. 4 ballad at the Back to the Beginning concert on July 5, which marked the final show by the original Sabbath lineup, as well as Ozzy’s last performance ever. Just over two weeks later, on July 22, Ozzy’s family announced that he’d passed away at age 76.

“To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honor,” Yungblud writes in an Instagram post. “I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life.”

Yungblud adds that Ozzy was “my hero in every regard” and hopes he’s “up there [having] a drink with Randy,” referring to Ozzy’s late guitar player Randy Rhoads.

“For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world,” the post concludes. “I love you Ozzy.”

John Forgerty continues to preview his upcoming album of rerecorded Credence Clearwater Revival classics, Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years, which drops Aug. 22.

The rocker has now released his new take on “Travelin’ Band.” Fogerty said rerecording it “was like climbing a mountain,” adding, “I had to work myself up to hit that level again. I’d sing until I didn’t have anything left.”

He’s also released “Long as I Can See the Light,” which he says “means so much” to him.

“If you see a ray of light you can always find your way,” Fogerty says. 

Both songs are now available via digital outlets.

Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years, produced by Fogerty and his son Shane Fogerty, comes two years after Fogerty fully regained the rights to his CCR catalog. The album also features new takes on CCR classics like “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son” and “Bad Moon Rising.”

The rocker is backed on the album by both of his sons, Shane and Tyler Fogerty.

Much like time, Beavis and Butt-Head also march on, as the iconic metal-loving duo is back for another go-round. Fittingly, Beavis’ favorite band Metallica soundtracks the new trailer for the series’ return.

The trailer begins with an animated Metallica performing their song “For Whom the Bell Tolls” as Beavis and Butt-Head fly into the stadium in a helicopter filled with gold.

“Beavis and Butthead, we love you guys!” James Hetfield exclaims from the stage.

“How much to buy Metallica?” Beavis asks, to which Hetfield replies, “One gold bar ought to be enough!” Cut to Hetfield getting hit in the head with said gold bar.

New episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head will air on Comedy Central starting on Sept. 3.

A guitar that was previously owned by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page is going up for auction in September and is expected to bring in a pretty penny.

The U.K. publication The Standard reports that the guitar up for grabs was originally part of a collaboration between New Music Express magazine and the band over 50 years ago. Back then, the mag ran a sweepstakes with the grand prize being a 1957 Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 electric guitar that Page purchased in Nashville for about $270.

In order to enter to sweepstakes, competitors had to match six guitars with their superstar owners; a man named Charles Reid from North London won.

Reid sold the guitar in 1990 to a man named Phil O’Donoghue for under $3,000. Following O’Donoghue’s death earlier this year, the family decided to put it up for auction.

The auction is now scheduled to take place Sept. 9 in England; the guitar is estimated to sell for somewhere between $40,000 and $70,000.

Whoever purchases the guitar will also get original copies of New Music Express, along with receipts and correspondence.

Kelly Osbourne quotes lyrics from the Black Sabbath song “Changes” in her first post since her father, Ozzy Osbourne, passed away.

In her Instagram Story, Kelly writes, “I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had,” which Ozzy sang to open the Vol. 4 ballad.

Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, and their children announced his death on Tuesday, sharing, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Ozzy, 76, had performed his last concert just over two weeks prior on July 5 with Black Sabbath. That weekend, Kelly got engaged to Slipknot‘s Sid Wilson. 

In video of Wilson’s proposal, Ozzy can be heard joking, “F*** off, you’re not marrying my daughter!”

Warren Haynes is sharing another preview of his upcoming release, The Whisper Sessions, which features seven stripped-down versions of songs from his 2024 solo album, Million Voices Whisper.

The latest is a new take on the song “You Ain’t Above Me” and is available now via digital outlets.

“This stripped-down version is actually the only time I’ve ever performed it this way,” Haynes shares. “I played it on my new Signature Gibson Les Paul with P-90 pickups which offers a cleaner and brighter sound than most folks would expect from me, which worked perfectly for the rhythm accompaniment of this kind of soul ballad.”

This is the second song released from the album. Haynes previously shared the track “These Changes,” which features his Allman Brothers bandmate Derek Trucks, who co-wrote the tune with Haynes.

In addition to the new takes on Million Voices Whisper tunes, The Whisper Sessions includes a new version of the Allman Brothers Band classic “Melissa,” featuring Trucks.

The Whisper Sessions is available for preorder now.

If watching the HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes makes you want to go back and listen to Billy Joel‘s whole catalog, you’ll soon have an easy way to do so.

We are getting our first real look at the upcoming sequel to the 1984 rock mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap.

A trailer for the film, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, has just been released, following the band Spinal Tap – Michael McKean as lead guitarist David St. Hubbins, Christopher Guest as frontman Nigel Tufnell and Harry Shearer as bassist Derek Smalls – as they attempt to stage a reunion concert 40 years after the first film.

The clip features snippets of the original film, and gives fans a look at what the band members have been doing for the past 40 years, as they’re once again followed by a documentarian, played by the film’s director Rob Reiner.

The trailer also gives us a glimpse of some of the A-list cameos in the film. Paul McCartney turns up to comment on a lyric from Spinal Tap’s song “Big Bottom,” noting the line “I’d like to sink her with my pink torpedo,” is “literature,” while Elton John joins them on stage for a performance of “Stonehenge.”

The band’s bad luck with drummers continues, as the trailer notes they’re short a drummer because their last one “sneezed himself into oblivion.” The band offers Questlove the gig, but he turns them down, sharing, “I don’t want to die,” while they try to assure him they’ve only lost 11 drummers.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues opens in theaters Sept. 12. In addition to McCartney and John, it will feature cameos by Garth Brooks, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Metallica‘s Lars Ulrich.

Queen’s Roger Taylor will celebrate his 76th birthday on Saturday, and to mark the occasion a new line of Taylor-inspired jewelry is being released.

Queen announced on Instagram that the rocker’s Taylored of London merch line is set to debut what it’s calling a “Hold Fast” range of limited-edition signet rings inspired by Taylor’s love of sailing. The term hold fast was a command sailors would use during rough weather conditions.

The line will feature two rings, designed by Manuela Gray, each featuring a different tattoo-inspired anchor. They are made from recycled silver, with a bronze disc made out of material taken from a cymbal played by the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.

The rings are each individually numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity.

Both rings will be available for preorder starting Saturday.

This isn’t the first time Taylor’s cymbals have been turned into jewelry. He previously released Taylored Spinner Pendants and Taylored Spinner Cymbal Rings, both constructed from one of his personal cymbals.

Actor Paul Walter Hauser has a role in the upcoming Bruce Springsteen movie Deliver Me From Nowhere, and it turns out he also has a surprising connection to the New Jersey rocker.

Hauser plays Springsteen’s guitar tech Mike Batlan, who helped engineer 1982’s Nebraska. While appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Hauser said he once lived in a home previously owned by Springsteen.

“What’s crazy is I lived in his old house without knowing it,” Hauser said. “I lived there for six months.”

He said that after living there a week, his brother-in-law informed him that The Boss had owned the place for about 25 years.

Asked whether Springsteen left anything behind, Hauser suggested it’s possible some ghosts, sharing, “The speaker system in the home randomly played ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ and none of us had it on our Spotify or Apple Music or anything.”

Hauser said he has happy memories of the house, because he and his wife conceived their second child there.

“So when I met Bruce, I said, ‘I used to live in your old house.’ He goes, ‘I heard,'” Hauser said. “And I was like, ‘I conceived a child in your old bedroom.’ He goes, ‘So did I.'”

Hauser added, “And we hugged it out. It was insane. It was the funniest, like, first conversation to have with an icon.”

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White as The Boss,  hits theaters Oct. 24.
