Last Night: I Listened to Ozzy, Slash, and Friends in Wolfmother and Jane's Addiction at the LAYN Benefit
Last night, I was fortunate enough to participate in a benefit show for LAYN, an LA-based shelter for teenage kids who have had a rough start of it in life up to this point. LAYN provides a starting point for these youth, and an emotional safe haven. Slash asked if I'd play the show, along with a bunch other killer folks. ![]()
Ozzy knows best. Read Duff McKagan's column every Monday and Thursday on Reverb.
Here is my list of tunes inspired by last night's performances.
Wolfmother, "Woman," I know these guys just put out a new record but I have yet to get it. Watching Andrew Stockdale perform "Woman" convinced me that perhaps Wolfmother will be around for a long, long time.
Jane's Addiction, "Mountain Song." I remember first seeing these guys do MS in a LA club in '87. Last night, some 23 years later, that song has lost none of its urgency.
Ozzy Osbourne, "Crazy Train." We are all just lowly pretenders when OZZY enters a room. Fuck!
