Are you ready to learn some stuff? It’s March 23rd and here’s what happened Today in Rock History!
Its a slow one today. And I mean slow. Starting off with birthdays we have Bill Kelliher of Mastodon, Ric Ocasek of The Cars, David Kendrick of Devo and Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz.
Moving onto releases we have Van Halen II in 1979 and Eliminator from ZZ Top in 1983. And speaking of ZZ Top, on this day in 2002, member Dusty Hill got married.
We lost Dave Brockie aka Oderus Urungus of GWAR in 2014 from a heroin overdose
And finally, yes really, in 2016, Metallica’s Master of Puppets enters the US National Recording Registry as it was chosen as a culturally significant recording
