Itâs February 11th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
In 1992, Motley Crue fired singer Vince Neil after he turned up for rehearsals claiming that he lost his passion for the band and wanted to instead race cars. Theyâd reunite five years later.
In 1972, Led Zeppelin had their third Top 20 single in America with âBlack Dog/Misty Mountain Hop.â The track, off the groupâs fourth album, peaked at number 15. For those wondering, the songâs title is a reference to a nameless black Labrador retriever that wandered around the studios where the band recorded.Â
In 2014, Queen made UK chart history, becoming the first act to sell six-million copies of an album with their Greatest Hits compilation.
And in 2003, Limp Bizkitâs Fred Durst told Access Hollywood he broke off his relationship with Britney Spears because âshe has a life like Michael Jackson.âÂ
And thatâs what happened today in rock history.
