It’s March 10th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
- In 1984, after less than two years in the band, Ian Gillan left Black Sabbath to rejoin Deep Purple. The only Sabbath album he was a part of was 1983’s Born Again.
- In 1982, Jimmy Page made his first solo appearance since the dissolution of Led Zeppelin, joining Jeff Beck onstage in London to jam through three encores.
- In 2004, Slipknot and Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor married his longtime girlfriend, Scarlett. They would get divorced three years later.
- And in 2003, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted AC/DC, The Clash, The Police, Elvis Costello and The Righteous Brothers.
And that’s what happened today in rock history.
