Itâs November 19th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
In 1973, Led Zeppelin began sessions for their sixth album by recording a demo called âDriving to Kashmir.â The songâs title would later be shortened to just âKashmir.â
In 2007, Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow died from an accidental cocaine overdose.
In 1988, Bon Jovi started a two-week run at number one on the singles chart with âBad Medicine,â the lead single from the bandâs album, New Jersey. The track became the groupâs third number one.
In 2001, Mick Jagger released his solo album, Goddess in the Doorway. The sales for the day were 954 copies.
In 1998, Motley Crue opened a retail store in Los Angeles. Called SâCrue, the place sold merchandise from the bandâs tours, items from bassist Nikki Sixx and singer Vince Neilâs clothing lines, and all the bandâs albums.
In 2003, Stone Temple Pilots announced that they were splitting up.Â
And thatâs what happened today in rock history.
