Are you ready to learn some stuff? It’s August 27th and here’s what happened Today in Rock History!
There’s really only one way to start the day, as we got Ten from Pearl Jam in 1991! Now I would add music for you to listen too, but Pearl Jam just doesn’t seem to like our website, sooo… here’s the trailer for Singles since Pearl Jam is in it. That fixes it, right?
We also got the lesser No Code from Pearl Jam in 1996, and in 2002 we got both Thirty Seconds to Mars’ debut and Songs for the Deaf from Queens of the Stone Age!
We lost Stevie Ray Vaughan in a helicopter crash in 1990 at the age of 35.
It’s both Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols and Alex Lifeson of Rush’s birthdays today!
Jimi Hendrix recorded his final studio recording ever in 1970, an instrumental titled Slow Blues.
In 2018, ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic recieved a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
And finally in 1989, Izzy Stradlin of Guns N Roses was arrested at a Phoenix airport after he peed on the floor of a plane he was on, because he had to wait to use the bathroom. I guess you could say Izzy could’ve used a little PATIENCE!! I’ll see myself out.
This has been Today in Rock History! Keep on Rocking, keep on Rolling! Check back tomorrow for your next rock history lesson!
