On This Day In METAL History – July 5th… From THE WHO To POWERWOLF
On July 5th, 1969 – The Who and Chuck Berry co-headlined the Pop Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Holy smokes, that’s cool! Shown above is the souvenir program from the 1969 Pop Proms. This Rock historic event took place from June 29th to July 5th, 1969. This souvenir program contains 36 pages. If you have one, you are very lucky and super freaking cool!
On July 5th, 1980 – Alice Cooper had his song, Clones (We’re All), ranked at #40, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. Um, with all due respect, that is a very weird photo of Alice Cooper, on that above 45rpm cover sleeve. Good gravy!
On July 5th, 2015 – The forthcoming studio album, Blessed And Possessed (deluxe version) from Heavy Metal warrior’s POWERWOLF is ranked at #79, on the U.S. iTunes Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums Chart. This album will be released in the U.S., on July 17th, 2015. Whoa!
