Ozzy Osbourne's final tour took place in 2018, but that same year, the musician had to cancel the remaining dates due to health issues. In the following years, he faced many health challenges, including Parkinson's disease. In 2022, he performed a few songs on special occasions but can no longer do a full show. However, he still hopes to perform a farewell concert. According to Black Sabbath's bassist and main lyricist, Geezer Butler, Ozzy told him he would like to have the original Sabbath lineup with him. Ozzy Osbourne wants Black Sabbath reunion at his final show Geezer Butler revealed in an interview with Lifeminute that he frequently talks with Ozzy Osbourne and shared an interesting insight: “Ozzy was talking to me about, when he does his farewell concert – which he still wants to do – he’s dying to get out there and play. And he suggested, at his very final concert, for the four of us to get up on stage and maybe do three or four songs together. And that would be it, finished.” However, as the bassist noted, it would be a "one-off" show since Ozzy is no longer able to tour. This isn’t the first time the original Black Sabbath members have discussed a potential reunion. All of them have expressed this year that they’d be open to a final show. Ozzy, in particular, has said that he wasn’t satisfied with their farewell tour because the original drummer, Bill Ward, wasn’t part of it. He emphasized that a proper final show would need to include Ward. In 2024, the Prince of Darkness was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. He had previously been inducted in 2006 as a member of Black Sabbath. Their final album was "13", released in 2013 during their reunion but the drummer Bill Ward also wasn't part of the record. It was the Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk who played the drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu5hwKn2O6I&pp=ygUqYmxhY2sgc2FiYmF0aCByZXVuaW9uIHJvY2sgYW5kIHJvbGwgZ2FyYWdlThe post Ozzy Osbourne wants Black Sabbath reunion at his final show appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Drummer Alex Van Halen is currently promoting the book Brothers, which tells the story of him, his brother Eddie, and their legendary band. In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, the musician talked for the first time about his brother's final minutes (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar). The legendary guitarist passed away back in 2020 at the age of 65 after a long battle with cancer. Alex Van Halen talks about Eddie's final minutes "We were in the room with him when he actually took his last breath. We just sat there and everybody was in their own head space. All I know is that when he stopped breathing, I didn't hear anything. I didn't see anything. There were no bells, there were no angels. It just stopped." "And then the room was empty. That was it. And then they pulled the plug because he was on a ventilator, and that was it. Because of COVID and the restrictions of the rules, they immediately carted the body off, and that was it, then we didn't see him anymore. A very uneventful ending to an eventful life. But you know what? He fought until the very end. I want to think of life in terms of that he never gave up." About how he feels now that his brother is gone, Alex said: "We travel through time, or we travel through existence if you will. And you come, and then you go. It's part of the natural order of things. I think the real problem, at least from my perceptual standpoint, is that when it happens out of what is the norm, which is a full 75 or 80-year life, and to have it be shorter than that, it doesn't make sense." "Am I angry at it? Yeah, there were times that I have a jealous scream, 'Ed, what the fuck is wrong with you? What are you doing? Ed, if you stop doing all them damn drugs, you can't do this to your body and expect to live a full life.'" Alex Van Halen said. https://youtu.be/g2NLnXhTzToThe post Alex Van Halen talks about Eddie’s final minutes appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

David Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in 1967 and over the next years became a fundamental part of the band's sound because of his vocals but especially for his incredible guitar playing. Without him, albums like "Dark Side of The Moon" (1973), "Wish You Were Here" (1975) and "The Wall" (1979) certainly wouldn't sound the same. He is one of the greatest guitarists of his generation and was influenced by many different artists when he was young. One of them was the legendary Bob Dylan, who really inspired Gilmour when he was still a young teenager. Once the Progressive Rock musician revealed which was one of his favorite songs by the American artist. The Bob Dylan song David Gilmour said is one of his favorites During the past six decades of his career, Bob Dylan released simply 40 studio albums and more than 100 singles. So it's not easy to pick a favorite song among all the important and successful ones he wrote. But Gilmour revealed in an interview with BBC Radio 4 that “Ballad In Plain D” from the 1964 album “Another Side Of Bob Dylan” was one of his favorite ones. It was on the list he picked of songs he would like to take to a desert island. “I’ve lived through a lot of his heavy protest stuff. But this was another side I’m very keen on. This sort of love song approach. He is wonderful.” "Ballad In Plain D" has 8 minutes and 18 seconds, making it the longest track of the album "Another Side of Bob Dylan" (1964). That was Dylan's fourth studio album and had other famous songs like "All I Really Want To Do", "My Back Pages" and "It Ain't Me Babe". It was Bob himself who recorded everything on that album. He sang, played acoustic guitar, piano and harmonica. David Gilmour liked when Dylan started to play the electric guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goi8sjYEFBs&pp=ygURYmFsbGFkIGluIHBsYWluIGQ%3D After that album, Dylan started to experiment more with the electric guitar and David Gilmour was quite happy with that. There were many fans at the time who didn't like to see Dylan leave the acoustic guitar away in some songs but as David told The Guardian back in 2006, it was good. “To me, I was never one of the people who thought Dylan was a monster for going electric. I liked the change. But I must say the power of the young Dylan as the acoustic-playing protest singer- which he’s always denied. But sorry Bob, you were a protest singer." "Just to get his guitar and play to a crowd of people and it’s like an arrow. His words come out and the music. People underestimate his actual musical abilities. And the melodies and the words just shoot out like an arrow. I think he was unbelievable. And is,” David Gilmour said. The Pink Floyd guitarist and singer first discovered Dylan when he got the musician's debut album for his 16th birthday. His parents gave them that record and it was a huge inspiration for him. Pink Floyd once talked about Pink Floyd with Gilmour Bob Dylan rarely gives interviews so unlike many other famous musicians we don't know that much about his opinion other bands. However, as Gilmour once revealed to Record Collector, the Folk Rock artist once told him he loved the song "The Dogs", which actually is "Dogs". “The second time we met was around the time of ‘The Delicate Sound Of Thunder’. He said (adopts perfect Dylan accent) hey, I love your record, The Dogs, man. I was so thrilled. Not many Pink Floyd fans like this track. But Bob does. So it was OK with me.” The album mentioned by Dylan according to Gilmour is “Animals” released in 1977 which has famous tracks like “Dogs” and “Pigs”.The post The Bob Dylan song David Gilmour said is one of his favorites appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Email has been a regular fixture in our lives since the mid-to-late 1990s, with many of us having many different inboxes to manage from personal and work to organizations and side hustles. Our email life can become overwhelming and even exhausting, and it definitely requires some effort to maintain it, but what that effort and maintenance look like varies drastically from person to person. Variations in email management have prompted many a debate amongst friends, particularly when one catches a glimpse of another's 20,000+ unreads on their phone and panics. "Why do you have so many unread emails?!? That would cause me so much anxiety!" says the one, while the other just shrugs and says, "I skip the ones I don't want to read and it's not worth taking the time to delete them," as if that's a perfectly reasonable approach. What do these reactions to emails say about each person? Is one right and the other wrong? Does one have good habits and the other bad?Some folks will make a convincing argument for orderly and organized inbox habits, touting the benefits of the "Inbox Zero" method in which you follow a few steps to keep your inbox cleared. Such habits can help those who feel overwhelmed by too many emails and can't ignore inbox clutter to feel more at ease.But before judging those with cluttered inboxes too harshly, it's important to note that our brains don't all work the same way. For some, keeping up a clear inbox causes more stress than ignoring emails and they feel that the time and attention it takes to manage it every day isn't worth it. Here's what psychologists have to say about people's email inbox habits and what they mean about our personalities:First, let's look at the reality of email and how much of it is even worth our time, because we all know a lot of the email we receive is worthless. Researchers wrote in Harvard Business Review, “Of the eight hours managers devote to e-communications each week, we estimate 25% of that time is consumed reading emails that should not have been sent to that particular manager and 25% is spent responding to emails that the manager should never have answered.” In another Harvard Business Review article citing a 2012 McKinsey analysis, researchers noted that, "the average professional spends 28% of the workday reading and answering email...that amounts to a staggering 2.6 hours and 120 emails per day."And that's just work email. Our personal inboxes are full of junk with seemingly endless waves of email marketing and advertisements masquerading as helpful information. Some of us understand that reality and see it as all the more reason to actively manage our inboxes, while some of us see it as a reason to simply ignore most email that comes in.Research psychologist Larry Rosen, Ph.D. told Business Insider that people who routinely file and delete emails are often trying to avoid the anxiety that comes with seeing emails pile up. "A huge, exploding inbox releases stress-based neurotransmitters, like cortisol, which make them anxious," he said.Some of that anxiety could stem from perfectionism (or vice versa) and seeing notifications build up is a reminder of everything you're not doing or able to do. “It could be tied to feeling overwhelmed to the point that each unread notification is yet another piled task piled on top of a thousand others,” Jenn Hardy, a licensed psychologist in Maryville, Tennessee, told HuffPost.Rosen told Business Insider that people who stay on top of their inboxes are often people with a high need for control in their lives. "They need an external way to have control over the world," he said, so the idea of just letting emails pile up willy nilly is way too stressful. On the other hand, people who do let their emails pile up may feel an opposite kind of stress. The idea of managing it all creates anxiety, and they feel more comfortable just ignoring it. Ultimately, there have to be occasional purges, but that's preferable to the day-to-day maintenance stress for some. “They may find this works better for them, leaves them less stressed and helps them focus their time and energy on other matters," Hardy pointed out. Social psychologist Ron Friedman told Business Insider that ignoring email "can also mean that you recognize that [monitoring and organizing those emails] isn't helping you achieve progress," adding that recognition is "a sign of intelligence."Email ignorers might also just be more relaxed personality types in general. More Type B than Type A.“They may be less of a perfectionist type and go more with the flow,” Lena Derhally, a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in social media and anxiety, told HuffPost. “They may not see having unread notifications or clear inboxes as a priority, and they may not feel bad/guilty/shameful about being unresponsive.”The one solid argument for keeping your inbox under control regardless of your personality type is the environmental impact of data storage. Deleting emails may be fairly low on the rung of carbon to-dos, but it's a simple one that anyone can do. Plus, using the environment as an incentive to clean up your email habits might be helpful for people who actually want the "Inbox Zero" life but have a hard time getting motivated to do it. What's funny about all of this is how people's email worlds can be completely alien to one another. My friends look at my unread email notifications and chastise me for causing them anxiety (even though they're my inboxes, not theirs—just seeing the number in the bubble on my phone stresses them out). I, on the other hand, cannot even conceptualize how they keep all of their email inboxes cleaned up every day. Like, does not compute even a little bit.It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round, so as long as people are happy with their chosen methods, we can stop judging and even celebrate the differences in our inbox habits.

In the absence of proper sex education in many parts of the country, more and more people are turning to online pornography to learn how things work. In that case, people will be very interested to hear about the curious case of Lily Phillips. The 23-year-old OnlyFans star recently took on an ambitious, if a little gross, challenge: She was going to sleep with 100 men in just 24 hours. Lily spent months "training" for the stunt, and on the big day, invited a documentary filmmaker along to record what was sure to be a wild journey. The guys were recruited through Lily's large fanbase and flew in to meet her from all over the world. During the stunt, they would take turns coming into the room where they would make small talk, hang their clothes up, and have about 2-3 minutes each with Lily.One guy brought a single rose.The most interesting part of filmmaker Josh Pieter's documentary, however, is the aftermath. Immediately afterwards, Lily told the film crew she was feeling physically fine. But anyone watching can clearly see that she is physically and, more importantly, emotionally exhausted."It's not for the weak girls, if I'm honest. It was hard, I don't know if I'd recommend it." She then gets emotional trying to describe the intensity of the experiment and has to walk off camera to collect herself. Josh Pieters/YouTubeLily eventually opened up and said the thing that got to her was the awkwardness of some of the interactions, how uncomfortable it was at times and feeling pressure to show the guys "a good time," worrying that some of them didn't like her or were disappointed in the experience, or in her. Some of the men guilted her for not spending more time with them or not fulfilling certain expectations they had going in.I know, I know. It's hard to feel too bad for her knowing she came up with this idea on her own to grow her business and willingly participated. But hearing her reflect on the aftermath is a surprisingly human and affecting moment. Most non-adult stars will, obviously, never attempt such a stunt. But the emotions Lily was feeling at the end of the day still seem awfully relatable to us regular human-beings.Even the documentary director was surprised by Lily's reaction. "I certainly didn't expect to see Lily so upset at the end of it all," Josh Pieters said. "I thought perhaps in years to come she might look back on this day in sadness, but not so instantly afterwards." - YouTube www.youtube.com Casual sex has its upsides for some people, but it's emotionally fraught for all parties and has been linked to negative mental health outcomes.It might be a stretch to call an OnlyFans content stunt "casual sex," but there's a lot we can learn by the end of Lily and Josh's documentary. VerywellMind writes that casual hookups can damage your health in many different ways. There's a risk of disappointment, regret, damaged self-esteem, depression, embarrassment, and more.Even a so-called professional can't escape some of these emotions! So us normies have to be really careful. It's not that hookups are inherently bad, but a lot of people jump into them without setting expectations, communicating well, and properly thinking through how they're going to feel at the end.This is a big reason younger generations like Gen Z have been moving away from the casual dating and hooking up culture previous generations were big on. Global Dating Insights writes that young people report "feeling burnt out, anxious, and disconnected after engaging in short-term flings or casual hookups" and are more likely to seek platonic or long-term romantic relationships — though there are other factors involved in this shift, as well.A 28-year-old woman told the LA Times, "“[Not having sex] helps me relax,” she said. “It’s not that I don’t care about how I look or how I come off to other people. But I have a little extra help caring less about it, because I don’t have to worry about attracting specific kinds of people for specific things.”A 21-year-old wrote in to Men's Health curious why everyone he met seemed to only want a romantic relationship or be "demisexual," which means they only feel attraction to someone after forming a strong emotional connection.It's fascinating to see the pendulum start to swing in the opposite direction as become more aware of some of the mental-health downsides to a practice that has been commonplace for decades.At the end of the day, feelings aside, the stunt was a huge success for Lily in terms of exposure and content. So much so that she quickly announced a new plan to break the world record for sexual partners in a 24 hour span by trying to reach 1,000 — the current record, for anyone wondering, is 919 set in 2004. Good luck, we think?
