Rock This Town LIVE: Rock and Metal News

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.

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 the divisive world of Nickelback and U2, exploring whether Nickelback’s hate outweighs U2’s overrated status. We’ll also cover Ghost’s bold “no phones” concert policy, Steve Miller Band’s tour cancellation, The Pretty Reckless’s Light Me Up vinyl release, and Def Leppard’s scorching summer tour. Plus, I’ll connect with vinyl collectors worldwide to geek out over their rock and metal treasures. 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!

• Nickelback vs. U2 Debate: Nickelback’s been the internet’s punching bag for years, often slammed as “generic” or “uncool” despite hits like “How You Remind Me” selling millions. The hate seems overblown, rooted more in meme culture than their actual music—Silver Side Up and All the Right Reasons topped charts for a reason. U2, on the other hand, gets called overrated for Bono’s preachiness and that infamous iTunes album drop in 2014, which alienated younger fans who didn’t know their legacy.

• Ghost’s “No Phones” Policy: Swedish rockers Ghost are enforcing a no-phones rule at their concerts, creating an immersive, distraction-free experience. Fans are loving it, with some saying it brings back the raw energy of old-school shows.

• Steve Miller Band Tour Cancellation: The Steve Miller Band canceled their 2025 tour dates, a bummer for fans expecting classics like “The Joker” and “Fly Like an Eagle.”

• The Pretty Reckless Light Me Up Vinyl: The Pretty Reckless’s debut album Light Me Up is getting a long-awaited vinyl release, thrilling collectors. Tracks like “Make Me Wanna Die” still hit hard, and this pressing is a must-have for fans of Taylor Momsen’s gritty rock sound. We’ll talk rarity, variants, and where to snag one.

• Def Leppard’s Summer Tour: Def Leppard is hitting the road in summer 2025, kicking off in Milwaukee on June 19 and wrapping in Virginia Beach on August 31. Expect hits like “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and new tracks like “Just Like ’73” with special guests like Bret Michaels on select dates.
