Are you ready to learn some stuff? It’s March 5th and here’s what happened Today in Rock History!
We got Korn’s MTV Unplugged album in 2007.
Its John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers birthday today
One year ago today, we lost Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd
We also lost the great John Belushi in 1982. His tombstone reads “I may be gone, but rock n roll lives on.”
In 1971, Led Zeppelin played Stairway to Heaven (along with other songs from Zeppelin IV) for the first time live in Belfast, Northern Ireland as a part of their Thank You tour.
In 1969, Creem magazine is published for the first time
In 2013, in a Czech court, Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe is acquitted of manslaughter after Blythe pushed a fan to his death at a 2010 concert, where the 19 year old fan sustained head injuries which lead to a coma and death. The trial was documented in the film As the Palaces Burn.
And finally in 2002, The Osbournes debuts on MTV. Focusing on the Ozzman and his family, it followed them as they bickered, cursed and hung out backstage at Ozzy shows.
