Yungblud: My Choice For The Next Big Thing In Rock!

 I've been around music since taking piano lessons at age five. Playing in my school's jazz and marching bands, and even a few rock bands or two. I became a nationally read sports and entertainment (music) ghostwriter while I was still in high school (1968). So, I can honestly say that a lot of my life has revolved around music and the music industry. With my longevity around music, I've seen a ton of really good music artists come and go.

Recently, I was asked who I thought was going to take the lead in the rock scene. 

Here's my clear-cut answer.

Every once in a while, an artist comes along who feels like the spark the rock world has been waiting for. For me, that spark is Yungblud (born Dominic Richard Harrison). Hailing from Doncaster, England, Yungblud grew up surrounded by music; his father repaired guitars, and his grandfather played with T. Rex, so rock is in his blood. From the beginning, Yungblud has carried himself with the energy and defiance of punk legends while giving his sound a modern edge that connects deeply with today’s generation.

Since breaking through in 2017, Yungblud has built a reputation for electrifying live performances and a fearless approach to songwriting. His music blends punk, glam rock, pop, and hip-hop influences, but what sets him apart is his honesty. He doesn’t shy away from topics like mental health, identity, and belonging, issues that resonate strongly with fans who feel unseen in mainstream culture.

What makes me believe Yungblud is the next big thing in rock isn’t just his style or sound, it’s his authenticity! He represents the same rebellious spirit that once made artists like Bowie, Nirvana, and Green Day cultural forces. He’s unafraid to be himself, and that vulnerability, paired with his raw talent, is exactly what rock needs right now.

In a time when rock has been searching for its next defining voice, to me, Yungblud looks like the one to carry the torch forward. His energy, his message in music, and his connection with fans, he’s not just making songs, he’s making a movement, a very big movement!

My Eulogy For The Prince Of Darkness Rest In Peace Ozzy: Mama He's Coming Home

 Few names in rock and metal history evoke as much reverence and rebellion as Ozzy Osbourne. 

The “Prince of Darkness” didn’t just help create heavy metal; he embodied it. From his working-class roots in Birmingham, England to the grand stages of global superstardom, Ozzy’s journey was wild, unfiltered, tragic, triumphant, and always unforgettable!

Ozzy first broke onto the scene as the frontman for Black Sabbath in 1969, a band whose dark riffs and ominous tone would define a genre. With tracks like “Paranoid,” “War Pigs,” and “Iron Man,” Ozzy’s haunting vocals became the voice of a generation disillusioned by war and politics, craving something raw and real. He didn’t sing songs, he unleashed them.

After Sabbath, Ozzy’s solo career soared higher than anyone expected. With the help of guitar prodigy Randy Rhoads, albums like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman proved he wasn’t just a metal frontman; he was a cultural force. Songs like “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley” are now eternal anthems of rock radio, and his stage presence, equal parts chaos and charisma, made him a must-see act for all music fans of all ages!

But Ozzy’s impact goes far beyond music. His resilience in the face of addiction, personal loss, and public scrutiny is part of his legend. He was real when the world wanted polished. He was vulnerable when the world expected bravado. He became a reality TV icon later in life, and still somehow never lost his identity, a feat few artists can claim.

Ozzy Osbourne isn’t just a rock star. He’s a survivor, a pioneer, and a voice that refused to be silenced. Whether you knew him from Sabbath, MTV, or the stage at Ozzfest, his influence is undeniable. He opened the gates for generations of artists, and his legacy continues to thunder through every power chord and growl that echoes in his wake!

Here’s to Ozzy Osbourne, The bat-biting, boundary-breaking, genre-defining godfather of metal. 

We've all been blessed to know you through your awesome music!

May you live forever as the Prince of Darkness!
