Today is what would've been Freddie Mercury's 70th birthday. Mercury, of course, passed away on November 24, 1991 at 45. Today is also the 25th anniversary of These Are The Days Of Our Lives being released as a single from Innuendo. The video was the final music video Mercury did as it was recorded on May 30, 1991, six months before his death. Sadly, it's obvious watching the video Mercury didn't have long to go even with the smoke and mirrors but was still a pro in participating.
A blog about my interests. Namely wrestling and MMA along with other stuff like video games and music.

Fifth Year Anniversary of Sinclair Buying Ring of Honor and Why It's Been a Failure
Fifth Year Anniversary of Sinclair Buying Ring of Honor and Why It's Been a Failure
August 30, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
On May 21, 2011, Ring of Honor announced that Sinclair Broadcasting Group, an American Telecommunications Company, had bought the company. Following the announcement, many from ROH personal to fans had high hopes that this is what ROH needed to take them to the next level with many believing they would overtake TNA as the #2 promotion in America. Now five years later, not only has that not happened but the company has arguably gotten worse. So what went wrong? Why hasn't ROH made the growth people hoped they would've?

Kiss - God Gave Rock And Roll To You II - Music Video 1991
The music video for God Gave Rock And Roll To You II. Featured drummer Eric Carr in his last contribution before his passing.
Bill
Happy 25th anniversary to the KISS song God Gave Rock n' Roll To You II which is one of the classic KISS songs. Originally a remake of a Russ Ballard song, it was co-written by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Bob Ezrin with Ballard getting a co-writing credit. It originally appeared as a single and the end credits for the movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and later on KISS' Revenge album. The song would be the first song recorded by current drummer Eric Singer and the final song to feature second drummer Eric Carr as he sang back up vocals before passing away in November 1991 due to cancer. There's technically two versions of the song with the movie version featuring a bad ass guitar intro from Steve Vai.

Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name
Happy 30th Anniversary to Bon Jovi's breakout album: Slippery When Wet. Although, I'm not a big Bon Jovi (though I don't know why since their music is right up my alley). The album features many signature songs including You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, Raise Your Hands, I'd Die For You, and Dead or Alive. The album was also the first to feature songwriting from the brilliant, legendary songwriter and producer Desmond Child who co-wrote You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, I'd Die For You, and would later co-write Bad Medicine and Born To Be My Baby for the follow up New Jersey. The album was also the first to be produced by legendary producer Bruce Fairbairn who later produced the follow up New Jersey.
