Rock and Culture Anniversaries

Led Zeppelin stars had already shocked fans when they reunited for MTV's 'Unledded' special.

Future Led Zeppelin star actually got his solo start decades before 1988's 'Outrider.'

That raspy howl may have been new to some, but he'd actually been chipping away at mainstream success for years.

He'd been out drinking with friends when the casual evening took a terrible turn.

Unfortunately, the decade's musical climate may have doomed this group from the start.

Only two members had enjoyed longer tenures when he was let go. They were the only two who mattered.

"We’re all thankful for both of them, but especially for both of them combined."

At the time, one of his defining songs didn’t yet have its famous title.

Crazy or not, Van Halen's cofounding frontman was bound for a solo career.

There were plenty of memorable gigs throughout his too-brief career, but none was more infamous than this one.
