July 17
JULY 17TH, 1968, WAS THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE BEATLES’ “YELLOW SUBMARINE” MOVIE IN LONDON. THOUGH THE BEATLES REALLY JUST ADDED FOUR NEW SONGS AND HAD A BRIEF APPEARANCE AT THE END, IT WAS A HIT WITH FANS AND CRITICS.
TODAY IN 1982 JUDAS PRIEST RELEASE THEIR COMMERCIAL BREAKTHROUGH ALBUM ‘SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE’ WHICH INCLUDED THE HIT “YOU’VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMIN'”, WHICH BECAME ONE OF THE BAND’S SIGNATURE SONGS.
AND FINALLY, IN 1991, FOURTEEN YEARS AFTER THE DEADLY CRASH OF LYNYRD SKYNYRD’S BATON ROUGE-BOUND AIRCRAFT, THE SURVIVING MEMBERS OF THE BAND RETURN TO THE LOUISIANA CITY TO KICK OFF A NEW TOUR. THE REVAMPED VERSION OF THE BAND IS FRONTED BY ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER, RONNIE VAN ZANT’S BROTHER, JOHNNY.
