Speaker 1: this year. Just a slight adjustment in the top five
Speaker 1: from last week, with Bad Company scoot and passed Billy
Speaker 1: Idol to slide into second position behind Fish, who are
Speaker 1: still a way out in front. So Fish, Bad Company,
Speaker 1: Billy Idol, Sound Garden at four and Cindi Lauper, holding
Speaker 1: in at number five in the fan vote. Rockhall dot
Speaker 1: com is where you can cast your votes up until
Speaker 1: I believe it's April twenty first, Okay, Zach Wild maybe
Speaker 1: letting some news outs about the upcoming final show for
Speaker 1: Black Sabbath in the original lineup on July fifth in Birmingham, England.
Speaker 1: Zach says that all of the bands on the bill
Speaker 1: at Ozzy and Sabbath's final concert will be playing Black
Speaker 1: Sabbath songs, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and Guns N' Roses.
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that, so he of course, Ozzy is
Speaker 1: reuniting with his original bandmate members of Sabbath, but as
Speaker 1: we also are well aware, he's just going to be
Speaker 1: doing bits and pieces of the show. Zach also indicating
Speaker 1: that he is still holding out hope that the July
Speaker 1: fifth show, fifth show will inspire Ozzy to quote fire
Speaker 1: up the machine again and do another tour. Zach, I
Speaker 1: love you and I love the idea, but let's be realistic.
Speaker 1: I took the words out of my mouth as painful
Speaker 1: as they are to face, but I think that's the reality.
Speaker 1: Let's be glad Ozzie's able to just participate in this
Speaker 1: I think sad news. Neil Peart's brother has passed away
Speaker 1: from the same cancer. Oh God, that took the life
Speaker 1: of the Rush drummer. Yeah, Danny Peart died from the
Speaker 1: same cancer, rare and aggressive type of brain cancer. He
Speaker 1: died on the thirteenth, just over five years since his brother,
Speaker 1: the drummer for Rush, passed away in January of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Their sister Nancy broke the news on a post over
Speaker 1: the weekend that she's freaking out. Yeah, that's that's just
Speaker 1: not just losing both brothers, but that is that's kind
Speaker 1: of odd. Man. More medical related news as it impacts
Speaker 1: a tour this go around zz Top their drummer Frank Beard,
Speaker 1: announcing he has to step away for a bit from
Speaker 1: their current tour to deal with a health related issue.
Speaker 1: The tour will continue, though what that health issue is
Speaker 1: we don't know. It has not been elaborated on, but
Speaker 1: Frank does seem to indicate it's something he'll be able
Speaker 1: to handle, will do and get back on the road
Speaker 1: as soon as he can. In the meanwhile, John Douglas,
Speaker 1: a long time drum tech for the band, will take
Speaker 1: over on the drums for Frank Beard, this whole zz
Speaker 1: Top family, those guys, all of them, that the text
Speaker 1: and all have been so tight together for you years
Speaker 1: that it's like almost interchangeable at this point. So that's
Speaker 1: the news on that. Now, this van Halen news that
Speaker 1: kind of got out of out of whack. Here there
Speaker 1: is a report that Toto guitarist St. Steve Lucather, who's
Speaker 1: a fine guitarist, I might add, is assisting Alex van
Speaker 1: Halen on unfinished recordings from his late brother Eddie. Steve
Speaker 1: had to get on his socials to set the record straight,
Speaker 1: he says. He says, Look, he goes. Ever, since Alex
Speaker 1: van Halen dropped some news that we're gonna work together,
Speaker 1: I think there is a huge misunderstanding. I will not
Speaker 1: ever play a guitar note on a van Halen's song. Ever,
Speaker 1: Al asked me to help him go through a ton
Speaker 1: of unfinished recordings which we've talked about, that Alan Ed
Speaker 1: had written and recorded together that never saw the light
Speaker 1: of day. He says. As of now, that's all I got.
Speaker 1: The fact that anyone would think for some reason that
Speaker 1: I was going to be part of playing on a
Speaker 1: new van Halen record. It's just not happening. He's going
Speaker 1: to help Al go through this stuff, clean it up,
Speaker 1: and hopefully get it in a presentation where it can
Speaker 1: see it a lighted day. But as far as him
Speaker 1: stepping in and reworking any of this, no, not happening.
Speaker 1: He's working with existing material correct, just to clean up
Speaker 1: and organize and get sounding as good as possible, basically
Speaker 1: produce it. Yes, exactly. Last year, Forearner announced that with
Speaker 1: their current tour in the Farewell continuing into this year,
Speaker 1: they would be joined at select dates by original guitarist
Speaker 1: Al Greenwood and bassist Rick Wills, who joined for their
Speaker 1: third album back in nineteen seventy nine. They also said
Speaker 1: at the time they were in discussions with original singer
Speaker 1: Lou Graham to join them. Well, apparently that came to fruition,
Speaker 1: as Luke joined the band this past Saturday over in
Speaker 1: Clearwater for a couple songs, I Want to Know What
Speaker 1: Love Is and Hot Blooded. It's good to see Lou
Speaker 1: Graham back on stage. He's got a few miles on him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was watching some clips from that and last but
Speaker 1: not least, last week, I told you there's a new
Speaker 1: Iron Maiden fiftieth anniversary picture book on its way. Also,
Speaker 1: there is a fiftieth anniversary documentary about the band in
Speaker 1: production which we'll have all new interviews with all current
Speaker 1: and past members, including the last interview with Paul Deiano,
Speaker 1: who was in the band way back, you know, in
Speaker 1: the early days and school. He did that interview before
Speaker 1: he passed away. So some more iron Maiden goodies are
Speaker 1: the way as they celebrate their fiftieth anniversary, and that
Speaker 1: would be Irock News a big serving today. Thank you, Pat.
Speaker 1: We do our best here at JR RGIE are
