SEPTEMBER 17 |
TODAY IN 1967, THE DOORS APPEARED ON ED SULLIVAN’S VARIETY TV SHOW. SULLIVAN ASKED JIM MORRISON TO CHANGE A LYRIC IN THE SONG, “LIGHT MY FIRE,” SPECIFICALLY, “GIRL, WE COULDN’T GET MUCH HIGHER.” JIM MORRISON SINGS IT ANYWAY AND A FURIOUS SULLIVAN VOWED THAT THE BAND WOULD NEVER APPEAR ON HIS SHOW AGAIN.
IN 1978, QUEEN TOOK OVER WIMBLEDON GREYHOUND STADIUM TO FILM THE VIDEO FOR THEIR HIT SINGLE “BICYCLE RACE”. IT FEATURED 65 NAKED FEMALE PROFESSIONAL MODELS RACING AROUND THE STADIUM’S TRACK ON BICYCLES.
AND IN 1991 INSTEAD OF RELEASING A DOUBLE ALBUM, WHICH THEY DECIDE WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR FANS, ‘GUNS N’ ROSES’ ISSUED BOTH ‘USE YOUR ILLUSION I’ AND ‘USE YOUR ILLUSION II’ ON THE SAME DAY. THEY INCLUDED SUCH HITS AS “LIVE AND LET DIE”, “NOVEMBER RAIN”, “KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR” AND “YOU COULD BE MINE”
