Behind The Terrys' cover of Black Sabbath's ‘Changes' for Like A Version
Australian surf rockers The Terrys have paid their respects to the late Ozzy Osbourne with their Like A Version of Black Sabbath's iconic 'Changes', but they're not 100 per cent sure the late singer would love their paired-back take. "He probably wouldn't like it", jokes drummer Cameron Cooper. "Knowing Ozzy, he'd probably [just] be looking for the beers." "He'd be looking up from hell," says vocalist Jacob Finch. "I reckon he'd be proud! I reckon he'd be stoked. I hope so." Ozzy, who passed away this July aged 76, has been a massive inspiration for the band, says Cameron. "That raw rock 'n' roll energy that Ozzy brought to that scene, it paved the way for a lot of bands at the time," he says. "We look up to those sorts of guys." So when it came to their second swing at Like A Version, there was no question who they'd cover. The song came quickly after, too. "It just felt like we had to do it, you know? Rest in peace," says Jacob. "We couldn't cover 'Iron Man' or something, because we're not that kind of band. So this was the one, this was always going to be the one." "It's one of those tracks that gets you right in the heart." 'Changes' is a bit of an outlier in Black Sabbath's discography, a ballad with no drums or guitars. The 1972 track has become a lasting hit, as Ozzy's vocals sell the utter heartbreak at its core, even if the song itself was inspired by drummer Bill Ward's marriage issues. Cameron says the band "locked in" while performing the track, and really felt the emotions of the tribute, which comes through. "[The lyrics] are actually quite intense, it's a bit of a tragic song," adds Jacob. "If I'm singing it and start thinking about what I'm saying, I kind of get lost in the moment. It's nice." For their take, the boys made it their own, adding back in drums and three guitars, which slowly build from an acoustic start into a more full-bodied sound. "We Terrys-fied it by stripping it back and making it acoustic," says Jacob. "Because there's a lot of other covers of this one, like I know Yungblud did one and it was really sick." "We wanted to kind of strip it back to what the song is and then in the end section we changed it up to give it a bit more of a Terrys feel." It marks the band's second time in the LAV studio, after taking on Ben Lee's 'Catch My Disease' back in 2022. Looking back, the band freely admit they were super nervous (we couldn't tell — they pulled it off!), but this time felt much more assured. "We were really nervous for that one," says Cameron. "I remember being on the drum kit having the shakes mid-take... [but] this time around was really comfortable." "And to be welcomed back the second time, that's even more special to us," says Jacob. "I feel honoured to be back in your studio again and be doing another cover," adds Cameron. "Especially [for] this song." Posted 44m ago 44 minutes ago Thu 14 Aug 2025 at 10:30pm

Arkansas bill that would expand raw milk, goat milk access heads to governor's desk
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A bill in the Arkansas legislature that would expand access to raw milk in the state has passed the Senate and will head to the governor's desk for her signature. House Bill 1048 would change the Arkansas code to expand access to raw goat and sheep milk and remove restrictions on non-pasteurized whole milk. The bill specifically removes the limitation that selling that type of milk is only allowed on the farm producing it. The bill, filed in November, was sponsored by Rep. Cameron Cooper (R-Romance) and Sen. Alan Clark (R-Lonsdale) and co-sponsored by Rep. Wayne Long (R-Bradford) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R-Perryville). AG Tim Griffin among 25 attorney generals urging US Senate to pass 'HALT Fentanyl Act' Cooper previously said that the current law limits farmers from selling 500 gallons of raw milk a month. 'This is a food freedom and food security issue,' Cooper told the committee. The bill received a 'do pass' during a House Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development Committee hearing on Jan. 29. It passed the House 94-3 on Feb. 3 and the Senate 33-1 on Feb. 17. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
