Him & Schenker the Living Goats

Ozzy Osbourne, tongue out and eyes crossed, showing off a bowling ball in New York in 1977. Photo by Richard E. Aaron, who remembered the shot coming from a record company party thrown for Ozzy after his show at The Garden. This was the Technical Ecstasy era. Black Sabbath's seventh album came out in October 1976, recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami, and the band toured it through 1977, with AC/DC as support on the European dates. Behind the scenes things were coming apart. Between late 1977 and early 1978 Ozzy left the band for three months to work on a solo project his father had named Blizzard of Ozz, before returning to record Never Say Die! in Toronto. He was fired in 1979, and with Randy Rhoads and Bob Daisley he went on to turn Blizzard of Ozz into one of the great solo debuts in metal. Ozzy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Black Sabbath in 2006 and as a solo artist in 2024. He played his final show at the Back to the Beginning concert in Birmingham on July 5, 2025, and died 17 days later, on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. 🎸 Ozzy took the name Blizzard of Ozz from a title his father suggested. Did you ever see Ozzy with Black Sabbath in the 70s? 🎸

Metallica at home in the "Metallica Mansion," 3132 Carlson Boulevard in El Cerrito, California, on July 25, 1985. Left to right: Cliff Burton, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett, crammed onto the couch behind a coffee table loaded with beer bottles and that day's San Francisco Examiner, its front page announcing that Rock Hudson had AIDS. Photo by Ross Halfin, who was sent by manager Peter Mensch that summer to shoot the band at home. The same session produced the famous group portrait printed on the inner sleeve of Master of Puppets. Hetfield and Ulrich shared the little bungalow, and its garage was where the songs for that album took shape in the spring and summer of 1985. A few weeks after this, the band played the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington, then headed to Copenhagen to record at Sweet Silence Studios with producer Flemming Rasmussen from September 1 to December 27, 1985. Master of Puppets came out on Elektra on March 3, 1986, peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 and became thrash metal's first platinum album. It was also the last album Cliff Burton made with Metallica. He was killed when the band's tour bus crashed in Sweden on September 27, 1986, at just 24. 🎸 In 2015, Master of Puppets became the first metal recording chosen for the Library of Congress National Recording Registry. Where were you when you first heard it? 🎸

Axl Rose, drenched in sweat and roaring into the mic at the Troubadour in West Hollywood on September 20, 1985, the night Guns N' Roses played Rocket Queen live for the first time. Photo by Marc Canter. The classic lineup of Axl, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler was finalized on June 4, 1985, and two days later they played their first show together right here at the Troubadour. The next day they set off on what became known as the Hell Tour: when the car towing their gear broke down near Bakersfield, they hitchhiked roughly a thousand miles north with only their guitars and played their one Seattle date on borrowed instruments. Back in Hollywood they built a following at clubs like the Troubadour and the Roxy, and by early 1986 they were selling out both. In March 1986 they signed with Geffen Records, and Appetite for Destruction came out on July 21, 1987, with Rocket Queen closing the album. It went on to sell more than 30 million copies worldwide. Canter, a childhood friend of Slash whose family runs Canter's Deli in Los Angeles, photographed the band's early club days and later told the story in his 2007 book Reckless Road. 🎸 Rocket Queen, the closing track on Appetite for Destruction, was played live for the first time at this Troubadour show. Did you ever catch Guns N' Roses in their club days? 🎸

That voice... taken from us far too soon, but will never die......

Samantha Fish performed as an opening act for Slash's S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles CA 7/13/2024

I'm looking forward to the live performance in Japan next year.
