July 20th is always a pretty heavy day.
It was on this day 5 years ago that we lost Chester Bennington... on Chris Cornell's birthday. Two big losses in just 2 months time. I don't think we can play enough of either artist today. I added Linkin Park's "Numb" to the Setlist today, because that's how I felt on this day in 2017.
Heard from Larry in Lake Zurich who thought it was a longshot, but wanted Fastway's "Say What You Will" on the Setlist. I love the song and what an incredible guitar riff! Hell yeah, I played it!
Ed The Mailman called asking me to sneak into Maria's 10 o'clock news stash and play the new one from Ozzy! The title track from the new album "Patient Number 9" features Jeff Beck on the guitar solo! New album is out September 9th. Ozzy tweeted that there's more new music coming on Friday!!
Keith from A&R Automotive is sweating is ass off today and was looking for Tool's "Sober". Great way to wrap up the Setlist today.
We'll do it again tomorrow!!
