Ozzfest return
In a previous article i wrote regarding Ozzfest I wrote about how I don't think that Ozzfest should return with Ozzy and quite frankly I still don't. However, I have looked at it from both sides of the aisle as they say and though i stand by my point of view i also see that Ozzfest should carry on and it would be a great way to carry on and honor Ozzy's name and legacy and also still fly the flag for heavy music and metal as it had always done.

Every Rose 🌹 Has its thorn by Poison covered by Rikki La Rouge
I always had this great idea that the power metal the hair, metal ballad by Poison every rose has its thorn would make a great salsa song and so I went ahead and did it and what you hear in the track is my demo version of the salsa version in my cover of every rose has its thorn by poison.
