On This Day In METAL History – June 26th… From BAD COMPANY To HIGH ON FIRE
On June 26th, 1974 – Supergroup Bad Company released their self-titled debut album on Led Zeppelin‘s Swan Song Records. This terrific album went on to reach #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, while eventually selling five million copies (plus) in the United States. Man, oh man and hot damn!
On June 26th, 1976 – The amazing Aerosmith peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart with their fourth studio album: Rocks. This was Aerosmith’s first album to reach the top ten on the U.S. album chart. Rocks features the ass-kicking songs: Back In The Saddle and Last Child, among others. If you don’t own this album, then it is obvious you collect rabbit poop in mason jars.
On June 26th, 2015 – The legendary High On Fire have their newly released studio album, Luminiferous, debuting at #110, on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart. Hell, yes!!
