Classic Hits

If you’re looking to communicate both your love for Ozzy Osbourne and your distaste for Roger Waters in the same T-shirt, do we have good news for you.

The front of the shirt features the phrase “Ozzy Rules” printed over Rogers’ name and artwork modeled after the Pink Floyd The Wall album cover. The back includes an image of someone wearing an Ozzy T-shirt urinating a rainbow onto The Wall image while accompanied by the phrase “another p**** in the wall.”

The shirt is only available for 48 hours via the Ozzy web store.

As for why this shirt is a thing at all, you may recall that Waters caught flak for his comments on Ozzy following his death in July, in which he said the Prince of Darkness was “all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense.”

Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, then shot back with a post reading, “Hey Roger Waters F*** You. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls*** in the press.”

Jack added, “My father always thought you were a c*** – thanks for proving him right.”

The Osbourne family further excoriated Waters in their latest episode of The Osbournes Podcast, their first since Ozzy’s death.

David Byrne is the latest artist to perform for NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series, although his performance was far from tiny.

The Talking Heads frontman brought over a dozen performers with him for the four-song performance, including backup singers and musicians playing the guitar, cello, saxophone and more.

Byrne’s performance included two songs from his latest album, Who Is the Sky? — “Everybody Laughs” and “Don’t Be Like That” — along with two Talking Heads tracks, “(Nothing Burt) Flowers” and “Life During War Time.”

Byrne is currently on tour in support of Who Is the Sky? He kicks off two nights at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre on Tuesday. U.S. dates wrap with a two-night stand in Miami, Florida, on Friday and Saturday.

Elton John‘s holiday song “Step Into Christmas” was released way back in 1973, but it has finally been certified Platinum by the RIAA.

“Step Into Christmas” has re-entered Billboard‘s Holiday Airplay chart every year over the past decade and has returned to the U.K. singles chart every year since 2011. Last year, a new video was created for the song, starring Cara Delevingne as Elton.

Elton has posted a video poking fun at how ubiquitous “Step Into Christmas” becomes each holiday season: In it, he’s in his kitchen, and every time he opens something — a drawer, the oven, a cabinet, the refrigerator — the song starts playing, prompting him to scream in horror.

In other Elton news, Monday, Dec. 1 is World AIDS Day, and he’s announced in an email to fans that all donations to his Elton John AIDS Foundation will be tripled on this day.

“I lost hundreds of friends to AIDS. I built a chapel in my home so I’d never forget them. But the real danger is that the world has already forgotten,” he writes. “Every single minute, someone dies of AIDS-related causes. This is happening right now. On our watch.” 

“It’s not because we lack the tools … What’s missing is the global attention and political will, but I’ve seen compassion move mountains before, and I believe it can again,” he notes. “You’ve stood by me for decades, and this World AIDS Day, I’m asking if you will stand with me and my Foundation to ensure no one is left behind.”

Styx and Chicago are teaming up for a new summer tour.

The bands have announced dates for The Windy Cities Tour – All The Hits…Your Kind of Tour. It’s set to begin July 13 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and wrap Sept. 6 in Los Angeles.

“We are excited about the summer tour,” Chicago’s trumpeter Lee Loughnane says in a statement. “Chicago has never toured with Styx before so it’s going to be a lot of fun, we’re looking forward to it.”

“In my early days of live performing I had several mentors who were kind enough to let me join in and play with them despite not being able to read charts,” adds Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw. “By the time Chicago released their first album, I had enough experience to begin learning their amazing music on my own. Now, the idea of Styx touring with Chicago is a major thrill all on its own. We can’t wait to spend the summer with them!”

Various ticket presales will begin Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

Aerosmith is back in the top 10.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers’ EP with Yungblud, One More Time, debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart this week, moving 39,000 equivalent album units. Of that number, 37,000 were in traditional album sales, landing the EP at #3 on the Top Album Sales chart.

The EP is now Aerosmith’s 10th top-10 album and their first since their last release, 2012’s Music From Another Dimension!, which landed at #5.

Aerosmith earned their first Billboard top-10 album in 1976 with Rocks. With the release of the new EP, they now have had a top-10 album in every decade between the 1970s through the 2020s, becoming the second band and fifth act overall to land such a feat.

They join The Rolling Stones as the only other band to have top-10 albums in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and James Taylor are the only other acts to have done so.

Aerosmith had their most success in the ’90s and 2000s, where they landed three top-10 hits each decade, including two #1s: 1993’s Get A Grip and 1997’s Nine Lives.

Meanwhile, over in the U.K., One More Time did even better: It debuted at #1 on the Official Albums Chart, making it Aerosmith’s first U.K. #1.

Queen is wrapping their five-part Queen the Greatest YouTube series with the release of a special “Bohemian Rhapsody” video.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the song’s nine-week run on top of the U.K. singles chart, Queen has released “The ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ 360 Experience,” a video that features moving images of the band performing the song live, the track’s original promotional video, on-screen lyrics and more.

In order to get the full 360-degree experience, folks on a laptop or desktop computer simply need to hold and drag their mouse to move through all the visuals in the clip, while those on a smartphone can turn their screen sideways and move the phone for the different clips. VR viewers can also get the 360-degree experience by putting their phone into their viewer to immerse themselves in the video.

As a press release notes, the new video “invites viewers to open their eyes, look up to the skies and see.”

“Bohemian Rhapsody,” from Queen’s #1 album A Night at the Opera, was the band’s first #1 single. The six-minute operatic tune, written by Freddie Mercury, was rereleased in 1991 following Mercury’s death.

Paul McCartney has released a new live video of a performance of “Live and Let Die,” recorded during one of his two Got Back concerts at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center in October.

The performance features pyrotechnics that shoot fire into the air, along with laser lights that shine over the crowd.

The video release comes just one day after McCartney wrapped the latest North American leg of his Got Back tour in Chicago on Tuesday.

Released in 1973, “Live and Let Die,” from McCartney and his band Wings, was the theme song to the 1973 James Bond film of the same name. The song peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

McCartney launched the latest leg of his Got Back tour on Sept. 29 in Palm Desert, California. He currently has no other shows on his schedule.

An early demo of the Talking Heads’ classic “Psycho Killer” is part of the band’s Record Store Day Black Friday release, Tentative Decisions: Demos and Live, and drummer Chris Frantz is happy fans are getting to hear it.

The song was recorded in the early ’70s when he and bandmates David Byrne and Tina Weymouth were a cover band, The Artistics, playing on the Rhode Island School of Design campus.

“I think the real fans will recognize the songs in their demo form,” Frantz told The Boston Globe. He notes “it was three amateurs in front of one microphone in a dusty apartment on Benefit Street, so technologically it’s not brilliant or anything like that. Quite the opposite.”

He adds, “But it’s got an excitement to it and it’s got a real, I think, rock ‘n’ spirit. I’m very happy with it.”

The Record Store Day release also includes The Artistics’ demo of the More Songs about Buildings and Food track “Warning Signs,” as well as other tracks recorded by the trio between 1975 and 1976.

“In our early years in New York before we made any records, you can see the songs evolving over time, and they really did evolve as we got better and more refined in our listening and our thinking,” Frantz said. “I’m very happy that this is coming out because it’s, you know, to me, it’s an important cultural artifact.”
