As soon as she explained the rules, I was like "Hope she likes whiskey!" lol. He's the purest form of rock 'n roll star there is. Living the life, yet respectful, caring and honest the whole way through.

" I wanted to make an album of depth, not just dopamine." There it is. That's why it's this incredible thing we've all been craving.

I’ve been in the interview game for almost 30 years… When I see an interviewer has done their homework, asks great questions & lets their guest talk, I am very impressed! Many don’t!

Great job! Dom is the real deal too! I absolutely wish him the very best!

Delisa is a STAR! She did a great interview! She asked him thoughtful and intelligent questions. And I really appreciate that she genuinely respectfully listened to him and let him speak without interrupting his flow. They had a really nice connection!

Not only is he charismatic but he is the interview king of 25/26

His commentary about making references is spot on. There are certain tropes that make rock what it is. The people who get upset that there's no more rock stars are the same ones who are quick to call someone a poser for giving them what they asked for. He's stealing like an artist in the best way possible. Love him, and I'm proud to be a new fan of his.

My son and I were to see him in Cleveland. It first got postponed and then cancelled. Of course we were sad, this would have been our first YB show BUT we understand and want him to stay healthy. Anyone who is a real fan will understand and of course sad but never mad or say anything bad about him needing to cancel. A real fan wants HIM healthy. If he’s not then no one will get to see him. He’s an amazing human being and I’m so proud to have watched him grow so much.

Dom mentioned feeling bad about always getting tonsillitis, it made me think about how Elvis used to come down with it a lot too, so don't feel bad, he was the original rock star...

he’s truly the sweetest man ever🖤

He is the nicest person and he is so genuine and caring to his fans. He gives then his undivided attention and eye contact when talking to them. He is amazing and so wonderful how could you not love him.

As an Ozzy fan, I cry every time he talks about him. My heart is still so damned tender about that whole thing. Can't believe Ozzy is gone. I knew when he died that I wasn't gonna be alright, but here it is January and I still have a hard time talking about him or hearing someone else talking about him. I got a really awesome 100 page Story of Ozzy magazine today from my husband and as I got to the last page and Ozzy was there in his chair on stage at the Villa.... boom... water works started. So, it's hard to hear his heart breaking when you KNOW if he's by himself, he probably cries, too. He loves him just as much as I do and all the diehard Ozzy fans do. That's really enduring. :)

"Music became F'ing jingles instead of songs" - SO DAMN TRUE!!! Even as an independent artist, producers and managers quickly speak up when you color outside the lines even though it makes the song. Great Interview!

I love so many things about him. One of the things I enjoy about his interviews is how articulate he is. I think he's a magical combination of an old soul in his he talks about music but also young at heart because his live shows are high energy. He is so real and I pray he doesn't get caught up in the business. He's already started to blow up in the United States. How do you stay true to yourself while having a following of literally millions of fans? I want him to always stay as real, sweet and kind hearted as he is now. He doesn't strike me as someone who would let fame go to their head. I truly think he is what the music industry has wanted and needed for so long. I predict that he is this generations rock star and he will be talked about by future generations the way we all talk about our favorite rock legends. He emulates so many of the great rock legends... David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler, Ozzy... So many others. He doesn't copy them... He emulates each of the rock stars who have influenced him. And I love that he is such a perfect blend of all of the great rock legends! He has brought back an energy and level of talent that has been missing for years. The first song in Idols 1 is Hello Heaven Hello. It is being called a masterpiece. And I absolutely agree 🤘🔥🥰

Im so proud of him and how far he's come since I met him in 2018.

I'm a 60-year-old man. Who grew up loving heavy metal speed guitars. And I had no idea the Yungblud was. Until I saw the farewell Black Sabbath concert. Ever since he performed Changes, I'm definitely a fan. I've been catching up on all the songs and videos I like Yungblud
