🟥🎧 Ruby Tuesday: “No More Tears” — Ozzy Osbourne
(cover by Brass Against with Morgan James)
Today’s Ruby Tuesday pick is No More Tears in Brass Against’s live cover — a classic heavy track rebuilt through brass, groove, and sheer vocal power. Instead of dark studio density, you get a raw, live arrangement driven by horns, rhythm, and presence.
What makes this version stand out is the contrast: heavy emotion delivered through a brass ensemble and a commanding voice. Morgan James doesn’t imitate — she interprets, turning the song into something theatrical, controlled, and intense without losing its weight.
It is also worth noting that the lyrics are written from the perspective of a serial killer, speaking from a deeply disturbed inner world — a kind of personal hell shaped by obsession and violence. Mechnikov_info treats this strictly as an artistic narrative device and clearly condemns such behaviour and any romanticisation of violence.
The brass section replaces distortion with pressure and depth, creating a sound that feels bold and deliberate. The result is heavy in a different way: less darkness of sound, more psychological tension.
