Battle of the Bands: Rocktober War Pigs

 It is Roctober and time to rock out a bit. Little by little getting back into the Battle of the Bands thing. October was once referred to Rocktober by a local radio station and I am sure they borrowed that from someone. Rock and October kind of go together. Anyway, with the recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne it also marked the end of the road for Black Sabbath. Tipping the hat in tribute this month's song is "War Pigs."


The original above. I will now select two challengers and you my wonderful readers. viewers get to select the winner by telling me which one you liked the best.

                                             Contender One: Samantha Fish


Contender Two: Gov't Mule




We got a great battle of guitars. The Blue Rockin' Samantha Fish showing girls can rock out! In the other corner Jam Band Warren Haynes led Gov't Mule. 
Don't be shy tell me which one rocked the best for you in the concerts. 

Thanks I will be back with a results post in a week or so!

Hey Mike, so happy to see you this month with another BOTB edition. I think I know this song only by name only. That's probably because I was not a Black Sabbath fan, sorry Ozzy may your RIP! Anywho, your first contender didn't do much for me. It could've been because of the female vocals and her stage persona. It's interesting years ago a taxi driver mentioned Gov't Mule suggesting that I check them out and I keep forgetting, so I thank you for the reminder. Incidentally, I didn't see a video for Gov't Mule so I went to YouTube and found their cover. My vote easily goes to GOV'T MULE!

I hope you'll decide to swing by to cast a ballot in my BOTB when you get a chance. Have a bandtastic day!

RIP Ozzy! 😢 Samantha Fish plays a mean guitar, but I didn't like the vocals that much. Didn't see a video here for Gov't Mule, so I went to YouTube Much better! They get my vote.
