AEROSMITH’s geriatric rock god, Steven Tyler, and the one and only Joe Perry, who probably wandered into the studio by mistake, have decided to grace us with a “collaborative” new single featuring the perpetually confused British dude, Yungblud. You know, the guy whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison, but “Yungblud” sounds way cooler if you’re trying to appeal to the TikTok generation. Get ready for “My Only Angel” – a title so cliché it hurts. A sneak peek, which is probably just them clearing their throats, is available below. Prepare to be underwhelmed. 😴
Apparently, these three musical masterminds (and Joe Perry) joined forces on September 7, 2025, to butcher a medley of Ozzy Osbourne‘s greatest hits at the MTV Video Music Awards. Because what better way to honor a metal legend than by having a pop-punk wannabe and a couple of aging rockers mangle his songs? 🤘
Yungblud, bless his heart, kicked things off with Osbourne‘s “Crazy Train” before dramatically slowing things down with a cover of BLACK SABBATH‘s “Changes”. Because nothing screams “rock ‘n’ roll” like emo ballads. Tyler, fresh from his latest round of plastic surgery, then stumbled onto the stage to croak out Osbourne‘s hit ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home”, while Perry tried to remember which guitar he was supposed to be playing. Yungblud, not wanting to be left out of the geriatric fun, returned to the mic to duet with Tyler on the tune, which thankfully ended with some cheap pyrotechnics and Yungblud screaming “Ozzy forever!” into the microphone. Because subtlety is for losers. 🔥
After the performance, AEROSMITH and Yungblud, probably fueled by prune juice and Red Bull, shared a cringe-worthy clip of Tyler and Yungblud embracing, with Steven whispering suggestively, “We’ve got a secret!” 👀 Yeah, the secret is you’re trying to stay relevant by clinging to whatever’s trendy. We see you.
But wait, there’s more! At the July 5 “Back To The Beginning” concert, Yungblud, in a desperate attempt to prove his “rock” credentials, sang a version of “Changes”, backed by a supergroup of has-beens. We’re talking EXTREME‘s Nuno Bettencourt on guitar, ANTHRAX‘s Frank Bello on bass, SLEEP TOKEN‘s II on drums, and BLACK SABBATH/OZZY OSBOURNE‘s touring keyboardist Adam Wakeman on keys. It’s like a musical version of “The Expendables,” except instead of saving the world, they’re just ruining classic songs. 🤦 The original version of “Changes”, in case you’ve forgotten what good music sounds like, appeared on SABBATH‘s fourth album, “Vol. 4”, released back in the dark ages of 1972. 👴
And who is this Yungblud character, anyway? Born in Yorkshire, Harrison apparently picked up a guitar at age two, probably because his parents were trying to shut him up. He started writing his own songs when he was ten, which probably sounded like a cat fighting a vacuum cleaner. At 16, he moved to London, because that’s where all the cool kids go to be broke and miserable. He then spent the next few years “struggling to define his musical vision,” which is code for “copying whatever’s popular.” But after reconnecting with the firebrand artists that first compelled him to make music – THE CLASH, ARCTIC MONKEYS, N.W.A. – he felt unstoppably inspired. Because nothing says “cohesive musical identity” like mixing punk, indie rock, and gangsta rap. 🤪 That inspiration lead to the eventual release of his 2017 debut, “King Charles”, which probably sold, like, five copies. Since then, Yungblud has been desperately trying to create his own “blend of alternative rock,” which basically involves shouting over some generic guitar riffs and pretending to be edgy. He’s got a fierce determination to make a dent in pop culture, which is ironic, because his music is about as impactful as a wet noodle. 🧽
