FEB 6
TODAY IN 1982 THE J GEILS BAND STARTED A SIX-WEEK RUN AT NO.1 ON THE U.S. SINGLES CHART WITH ‘CENTERFOLD’, THE BANDS ONLY U.S. NO.1 SONG. ALSO, ON THE SAME DAY THE BAND’S ALBUM ‘FREEZE- FRAME’ STARTED A FOUR-WEEK RUN AT NO.1 ON THE ALBUM CHART.
ON THIS DAY IN 2001, EAGLES’ GUITARIST DON FELDER RECEIVES A PHONE CALL FROM MANAGER IRVING AZOFF (A-ZOFF) WHO TELLS HIM THAT THE REST OF THE BAND HAS “DECIDED TO GO ON WITHOUT YOU” AND FELDER IS FIRED FROM THE EAGLES. (FYI: HE WAS A CO-WRITER FOR THE TRACKS “HOTEL CALIFORNIA”, “VICTIM OF LOVE”, AND “THOSE SHOES”))
AND FINALLY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GUNS ’N ROSES FRONTMAN AXL ROSE, WHO TURNS 62 TODAY.
