On This Day In METAL History – January 21st…
On January 21, 1973 – The iconic Led Zeppelin perform at the Gaumont Theatre, in Southampton, UK.
On this day in 1975 – Led Zeppelin perform at Chicago Stadium, in Chicago, Illinois.
On January 21, 1983 – The House On Sorority Row was released to wide-screen theaters. This is a Horror film and I never saw it; nor have I ever heard of this film until I stumbled upon it while looking up Horror online. Looks like a B movie to me!
This flick was written and directed by Mark Rosman. The film studio: Film Ventures, International. Here’s a couple of actresses that starred in The House On Sorority Row: Kate McNeil and Eileen Davidson. You bet.
On this day in 1989 – MTV world premieres the first Metallica music video: One. This song is featured on Metallica’s 4th studio album, released via Electra Records back in 1988: …And Justice For All. Shown above is the cover sleeve for the German issued CD single. Whoa!
On January 21, 1989 – The great Def Leppard have a song sitting at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart: Armageddon It. This song is featured on the multi-platinum selling Def Leppard album from 1987: Hysteria.
On this day in 2015 – The fearsome Rob Zombie stated, on his official Twitter account: “Just finished the final mixes with @zeuss1 for the new studio album. Best album yet. No joke.”

I still remember the controversy over that Metallica video being released. I also remember being really excited waiting to see it for the first time. I really do miss the way MTV used to be.

I’m like you and miss the old school MTV. What a waste of time MTV is now; all they cater to are the kids that don’t know the difference between an LP and CD. Pathetic, it truly is.
Wasn’t it cool though, back in the day when MTV would get us all psyched-out about their “World Premier Videos”! Good times. Now all that lame network seems to premier are scene after scene of ONE girl in a hot tub with TWELVE males. So unimpressive and extremely immature. LOL!!

Totally agree. I miss those World Premiere Videos. I can still hear the music and see the logo before those videos started. Really good times.
