On June 22nd, 1968 – The Jeff Beck Group, featuring Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Ron Wood and Mickey Waller, makes its American performance debut at the Fillmore East in New York City. Above photo, L to R: Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck.

On June 22nd, 1996 – The mighty Metallica debuted at number #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart for the second time, with their sixth studio album: Load. This album spent four straight weeks on top of this chart and went on to sell five million (plus) copies in the United States. Holy head cheese! The classic Metallica band logo also changed for a more lame version, on this studio album too. That’s my Metal opinion.

On June 22nd, 2001 – The first film in it’s incredibly successful franchise, Fast & Furious was released to wide-screen theaters. This film stars: Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Rick Yune and Chad Lindberg. Fast & Furious was directed by Rob Cohen. Fast muscle cars are… Metal. Rest in peace, Paul Walker.

On June 22nd, 2015 – The new studio album from Australia’s The Amity Affliction is ranked at #22, on the iTunes Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums Chart. Tie your wallaby down! This album was released via Roadrunner Records.

On June 22nd, 2015 – The 2013 studio album from Five Finger Death Punch, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1, is ranked at #180, on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart. This album peaked at #2 and has spent 71 weeks on this chart. Great Caesar’s ghost!
