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.
