This Day in Rock History

Led Zeppelin gets robbed, John Lennon ignites a firestorm, Rush gets a new drummer and much, much more.

Black Sabbath lashes out against a corrupt industry, Joe Perry walks away from Aerosmith and much more.

July 27 marks two important milestones for AC/DC, and saw the release of big albums from Stevie Nicks, Metallica and the Smashing Pumpkins.

July 26 is a very important day for ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.

Tomorrow, 7/25, marks the 40th anniversary of the release of AC/DC's Back in Black. The first I time I heard the album I was at an unusual location.

I was only a year old when Woodstock took place. I've always been fascinated by the event. Last year, we made the trip to the museum. See the photos here.

This is the 50th anniversary weekend of the original Woodstock. Police have issued a warning about traffic. And if you won tickets from us, you must read this.

A year ago this week, we learned of the mass shooting in Vegas that left 58 people dead and we lost a legend, Tom Petty. It was a rough week to say the least.

Is it time already to power up the Whale Time Machine and travel back to another time in the world of Rock-n-Roll?

Usually I make my pick of the week on Wednesday, but procrastination set in.
