Heart, ZZ Top, Genesis, and Ozzy Osbourne. Quite a line-up. Not as good as the first Rock Honors, but I still had a good reason to be anxious to watch this. Turns out that this was not at all what I had hoped to be. The show began with Bam Margera saying something that a douchebag would say, and then comes Nickelback covering ZZ Top. It was alright actually. Better than anything else Nickelback has done in their own career. And then, ZZ Top takes the stage, and it was quite enjoyable. Heart plays next, after a tribute by Alice In Chains(without Layne of course. RIP), being fronted by Gretchen Wilson.Sounds good? It is- until Genesis takes the stage. Genesis is a progrock band. As you all know, the genre of progrock is known for being boring every once and a while. Genesis, or at least the songs they play, are boring. It was truly a real show-stopper. Nothing impressive at all. The camera shows the crowd. One girl happens to be dancing a little. Everyone else? Frowning in dismay. They came for rock! Not "I get so lonely without her there, blah blah blah". Thankfully, we get Queens Of The Stone Age covering Black Sabbath's Paranoid, and we get Ozzy Osbourne. The Ozzman's performance is, of course, the best of the whole show. And this ends the second annual VH1 Rock Honors.Overall, a decent show, but my expectations were too high I guess. 6/10.
