Hey, rock and metal fans, it’s TC, your host of Rock This Town LIVE, cranking up the volume for another killer episode! Today, we’re diving into Aerosmith’s top five albums, pitting them against Guns N’ Roses in a head-to-head showdown, unpacking the viral phrase “Take Your Side Piece to Coldplay,” and breaking the latest news on Black Sabbath’s upcoming concert film and Anthrax’s freshly finished album. We’ll also connect with vinyl collectors worldwide to geek out over their prized records. Join me live on YouTube every Monday through Friday at 8pm ET, or catch up on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or your favorite podcast platform like Spotify, Apple, Google, or Amazon. Let’s rock!
- Guns N’ Roses vs. Aerosmith: These two titans share a deep connection. Aerosmith’s sleazy, blues-based ’70s sound heavily influenced Guns N’ Roses, who covered “Mama Kin” on their debut EP. Both bands ruled the late ’80s, with Aerosmith’s Permanent Vacation and GNR’s Appetite for Destruction defining the era. Aerosmith leaned into pop-metal polish, while GNR stayed raw and chaotic. On tour together in 1988, GNR’s drug-fueled intensity contrasted with Aerosmith’s newfound sobriety, creating legendary tension. Who wins? Aerosmith’s longevity and versatility edge out GNR’s raw power, but it’s close. What’s your pick?
- Black Sabbath Concert Film: A new Black Sabbath concert film, Back to the Beginning, is coming soon, capturing their final show with Metallica, Slayer, Gojira, and more. Featuring Ozzy Osbourne on a black throne and covers like “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,” it’s a must-see for metalheads. Expect vinyl releases tied to this epic event.
