Guns N' Roses - November Rain

One of my favorite ballads as well as songs all together. Interesting note is that the video was reportedly inspired by the short story "Without You" from GnR Road Manager Del James. The story would appear in James' 1995 book "The Language of Fear" which Axl wrote the forward to.

Happy 25th Anniversary to the Guns n' Roses albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II which were released on this day in America in 1991 while being released a day earlier in the UK. The album was a rare case of a band releasing two studio albums the same day and I believe was the first where they went to the top 2 positions (Ironically I went to #2 while II went to #1). The albums were the first to feature drummer Matt Sorum (Steven Adler did drum on Civil War before being fired after reportedly needing 70 times to do the album due to his drug addictions), long time keyboardist DIzzy Reed (who has been the only one of the band never to have left and remained through it all), and the last to feature Izzy due to him leaving in November 1991. Guest artists included Alice Cooper and Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon. The double album, of course, proved to be the last album of original material until 2008's Chinese Democracy.

Almost forgot. Happy 65th birthday Michael Keaton! One of my favorite actors and I'm loving that he's been having this career resurgence. Still my favorite Batman and one you don't fuck with.

Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives (Official Video)

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.

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

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?

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.
