Are you ready to learn some stuff? It’s March 9th and here’s what happened Today in Rock History!
Starting if off with releases, we have just one today at that’s Love It to Death by Alice Cooper
Also only one birthday today and it’s Shannon Leto of Thirty Seconds to Mars
Moving onto 1991, The Clash’s song Should I Stay or Should I Go becomes the bands only No. 1 single in the UK after it appeared in a Levi’s TV commercial. The song was originally released in 1982 off their album Combat Rock.
In 1970, the band Earth, who recently underwent a name change, made their concert debut at The Roundhouse in London. Their new name: Black Sabbath.
And finally in 1986, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith visit Magic Ventures Studios in New York to record parts of their song Walk This Way. This was so the hip-hop group Run-D.M.C. could use the parts to turn the song into a rap jam. Neither of the acts were into the collab but Rick Rubin, Run-D.M.C.’s producer, spearheaded the effort. The track resulted in a huge hit for Run-D.M.C. and it helped revitalize the careers of Aerosmith.
