Speaker 1: Time for rock News on one oh one one double JRR,
Speaker 1: Orlando's rock station. Let's check in with Lynch Hintaco and
Speaker 1: see which rockers are making the headlines for all the
Speaker 1: right and wrong reasons. One O one one double JRR.
Speaker 2: All right, Rock News has brought to you this morning
Speaker 2: by Fairwe's Credit Union. All Right, we have had a
Speaker 2: few of you ask what the keyword was this hour
Speaker 2: for the Rock the Bank thousand dollars giveaway. You might
Speaker 2: have missed that. You still get about a half hour to enter.
Speaker 3: Pay that's pay Enter it at WJRR dot com. Remember
Speaker 3: if your phone ring ringten's next hour, answer it.
Speaker 2: We do this hourly Rock the Bank one thousand dollars
Speaker 2: cash giveaways and would encourage you to enter each hour.
Speaker 2: All right, let's begin with this story David Draymond of
Speaker 2: Disturbed making a statement following a rather ugly incident at
Speaker 2: this past weekend's Glastonbury Festival in England by British rappers
Speaker 2: Bob the Land.
Speaker 4: Very disgusting.
Speaker 2: They led the crowd in Chance calling for the death
Speaker 2: to the Israeli military during their set. Let me read
Speaker 2: what Draymond had to say. Will point out if you
Speaker 2: didn't know David Drayman is Jewish, Okay, says, I just
Speaker 2: wanted to speak my mind a little bit about the
Speaker 2: events of this past weekend. No one should ever use
Speaker 2: any stage at any festival anywhere in the world to
Speaker 2: incite hatred and violence against anyone. I think it's disgusting.
Speaker 2: I think it's irresponsible and contrary to the whole reason
Speaker 2: people get together at these festivals to begin with. He
Speaker 2: then went on to say, more importantly, just from a
Speaker 2: human perspective, what exactly do you really think you're going
Speaker 2: to achieve here? You know, death to the IDF. Every
Speaker 2: citizen of the State of Israel has to serve in
Speaker 2: the military, every citizen. So you're saying that the majority
Speaker 2: of world Jews should die, should be killed, that's what
Speaker 2: you're saying. Good luck with that. I'm not sure what
Speaker 2: you want what you're trying to achieve, other than virtue
Speaker 2: signaling and instant fame that this selling of Jew hatred
Speaker 2: has seemed to gift everyone with these days.
Speaker 3: Complete piece of garbage is what that rapper was.
Speaker 4: Two of them. Bob Vaalan is the name of the duo.
Speaker 2: Obviously, the big event coming up this weekend is Back
Speaker 2: to the Beginning the final performance of the original lineup
Speaker 2: of Black Sabbath. We will have some passes for you
Speaker 2: to enjoy the live stream. We'll give those away at
Speaker 2: the end of the show during attention pays. We've got
Speaker 2: those all week.
Speaker 4: Jake E.
Speaker 2: Lee, who was one of Ozzy's guitar players over the
Speaker 2: years in Ozzie's solo projects, he's going to be there.
Speaker 2: First off, he'll be one of the artists. It'll be there.
Speaker 2: But in a related or unrelated story, Remember he got
Speaker 2: shot last year in October, him and his dog. I mean,
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about that. I thought
Speaker 2: he's the one that got popped. Yeah, he got shot
Speaker 2: when he interrupted a couple of thieves who are trying
Speaker 2: to steal his motorcycle. Those two shooters are going to
Speaker 2: be sentenced this.
Speaker 4: Week to see what they'll end up getting there.
Speaker 2: The gun that was used was tied to two previous
Speaker 2: murders and both suspects are going to be sentenced, so
Speaker 2: that's be interesting to see what they end up have happening.
Speaker 2: In the run up to the Back to the Beginning events,
Speaker 2: the founding members of Sabbath were awarded the freedom of
Speaker 2: the City of Birmingham at a ceremony this past Saturday.
Speaker 2: The Freedom of the City honor is the one is
Speaker 2: one of the oldest traditional ceremonies in the country and
Speaker 2: recognizes people's exceptional service to the city. In the case
Speaker 2: of Black Sabbath, they're being honored for their significant contributions
Speaker 2: to the cultural and music identity of Birmingham and their
Speaker 2: strong association with the city and continued influence as pioneers
Speaker 2: of heavy metal in both Birmingham and around the world.
Speaker 4: Bes that they should.
Speaker 2: And speaking of which, an estimated three hundred thousand people
Speaker 2: obviously not all of them going to fit into the
Speaker 2: stadium for the festival this weekend, but there's about three
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people who are gonna be in and out
Speaker 2: of the Birmingham area this weekend just to be part
Speaker 2: of the activities that are going on. They're guessing or
Speaker 2: approximating that about twenty seven million dollars boost to the
Speaker 2: local economy as a result of this event.
Speaker 4: I'd say at least pretty cool. Yeah, pretty cool. I
Speaker 4: can't wait.
Speaker 3: I was looking at the lineup again yesterday, like obviously
Speaker 3: we've talked about this for a while, but looking at
Speaker 3: that lineup.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure how the whole thing's gonna roll out.
Speaker 2: I don't know if bands are gonna be doing full
Speaker 2: sets or you know, a few songs each. And I
Speaker 2: think each of the bands or artists is going to
Speaker 2: cover a Sabbath tune. I think that's being determined in advance.
Speaker 2: But other than that, and exactly how many songs Sabbath
Speaker 2: ends up playing or Ozzie from his solo years. From
Speaker 2: what I understand, Ozzy will be in a seated situation
Speaker 2: because he's he's got a lot of medical constraints that
Speaker 2: he's dealing with. He's going to do his best. One
Speaker 2: more Ozzi related note for rock News this week. Remember
Speaker 2: I told you about those Liquid Death cans that were sold,
Speaker 2: the limited number containing Ozzy's DNA. Yeah, Travis Barker from
Speaker 2: Blank one eighty two bought.
Speaker 4: One of them.
Speaker 2: Want to let everyone know that he's in possession of
Speaker 2: one of those good for you trapping trap.
Speaker 3: Hey back to Ozzy and sitting down totally understood, get it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is he borrowing a Grolls chair the throne? Yeah, there
Speaker 3: was talk of that. I don't know let's see Axel
Speaker 3: Rose used that too, man mm hm.
Speaker 2: Told you about this a while back. Now it's happening.
Speaker 2: The Scorpions biopic will be due this fall. They announced
Speaker 2: the actors who will be portraying the members of the band.
Speaker 2: I've really never heard any of these guys, but again,
Speaker 2: you know me. I'm not real good with actors name
Speaker 2: and faces. But they are looking to have this out
Speaker 2: this fall as the band celebrates their sixtieth anniversary as
Speaker 2: a band. This is kind of random. Sammy Hagar was
Speaker 2: in Charlotte last week to open another one of his
Speaker 2: Sammy's Beach Bar and Grill locations. Guess where this one's located.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Concourse D of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
Speaker 4: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: The Sammy's Beach Bar and Grill in a landlocked city
Speaker 2: in an airport concourse.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, hey, let's go get the red rocker Roumin
Speaker 3: exactly green days, Billy Joe Armstrong joined the Sex Pistols
Speaker 3: with Frank Carter for Anarchy in the UK at the
Speaker 3: Tons of Rock Festival at Oslo, Norway.
Speaker 2: You can see video of that on our website if
Speaker 2: you didn't see it yet. And if you haven't spotted
Speaker 2: the new Walmart commercial, they're utilizing the Who's who are
Speaker 2: you for a new promotion that they're doing.
Speaker 3: Okay, you know what that Green Day and is with
Speaker 3: belly Joe. It'ld have been cool if he just stayed
Speaker 3: in the UK. Sax much hate as he spews over here.
Speaker 2: Saxon singer Biff Biford undergoing an emergency procedure, the band
Speaker 2: having to suddenly cancel all ten of their summer shows,
Speaker 2: many of which were festival appearances. This has had numerous
Speaker 2: issues with heart related stuff and has had some past procedures.
Speaker 2: They haven't spelled out exactly what's going on here, but
Speaker 2: they said this is an emergency situation, so all of
Speaker 2: us Saxon's activities have been canceled at this point. And
Speaker 2: one more interesting thing to share here AI hater, Yes
Speaker 2: you call Taco Bob. There is what appears to be
Speaker 2: an AI generated band that already is getting half a
Speaker 2: million monthly streams for several albums that they put out
Speaker 2: over the course of two weeks. The band is called
Speaker 2: The Velvet Sundown. Two full length records in a single month,
Speaker 2: with a third on the way this month, this rapid
Speaker 2: rise would be impressive on any level. Right, what's going
Speaker 2: on here? Well, if you look into this, the Velvet Sundown,
Speaker 2: you'll see it appears to be like a regular, you know, psychedelic, hippie,
Speaker 2: feel good folk type thing. It appears to all be
Speaker 2: AI generated. There is no kind of social or any
Speaker 2: kind of legit path of any of these guys who
Speaker 2: are named as members of the band. It can't find
Speaker 2: any information about any of them. I'm telling you it's
Speaker 2: bad news.
Speaker 4: Eh, it's so. It's what it's got to now.
Speaker 3: In music, all these bands that gritted out night in,
Speaker 3: night out, and there's you know, a crappy club, and
Speaker 3: then work their way up to be great.
Speaker 4: You can't bake it, fake it, man, and then this
Speaker 4: comes out. Are you disgusted talking? Yeah? Okay, right now,
Speaker 4: it's all right. Just be sure. There's your rock news
Speaker 4: for this week. Orlando's Rock one w J A R R.
