In the past we’ve explored key moments in ’80s rock benefit albums, such as behind-the-scenes analyses of the We Are the World sessions. Today, while searching for video footage of Bad Company’s Paul Rodgers, I stumbled across this star-studded single from the legendary Rock Aid Armenia album, Rock Aid Armenia: The Earthquake Album. “What about us,” asks Ian Gillan, Bruce Dickinson, Paul Rodgers, Tony Iommi, David Gilmour, Brian May, Keith Emerson, Chris Squier, and Ritchie Blackmore, as they rip through a killer version of “Smoke On the Water”.
What about them?
I think they missed their chance, they could have covered Speedy Keen’s Armenia City In The Sky.
Oh my God! That was Alex Lifeson stepping in at the end there to really bring things home for Armenia! Just this morning I shouted out his name while straining to squeeze out an unusually girthsome, peanut-studded turd. “Alex Lifeson!”, I cried, as the three-pounder hit the water with a cheek-wetting splash.

You, my friend, have rocked my cock off. I am now cockless. But I have rocked. Torn between my need to rock, and my love of my cock, I choose…
TO ROCK!
