Itâs May 9th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
In 2004, despite having almost no promotion, the number one album in the U-K and the number three album in the States was Guns Nâ Rosesâ Greatest Hits.
In 1992, Bruce Springsteen made his North American network television debut on Saturday Night Live.
In 1966, Hollywoodâs Whisky A Go Go held auditions for their house band. The Doors were among the groups who tried out.
In 1970, The Guess Who started a three-week run at number one on singles chart with âAmerican Woman.â
And in 1998, Jimmy Page performed with rapper Sean Combs on Saturday Night Live. They played the song âCome With Meâ off the soundtrack to the film Godzilla. The track samples the guitar riff from âKashmir.âÂ
And thatâs what happened today in rock history.
