1971 – Ozzy Osbourne utters his last coherent sentence to date, a request to a Birmingham, England barmaid to "gi’ us fawa mo’ pints, an’ couldn’t ye take oot the tits fuh the lads, then?"
1974 – Burke Shelley of Budgie promises his then-girlfriend that no matter what lofty heights of stardom his band may take him to, he’ll remain faithful and true. He then borrows twenty quid, a sum that, as of last week, he has not yet paid back.
1980 – Gene Simmons is persuaded that Kiss Meets Abbott and Costello is not a necessary or appropriate sequel to Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park, considering that Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are dead.

1983 - A young Peter Steele sets into motion an intricate twelve-year scheme to let women know, despite his ghoulish ugliness, that he sports a cock like a Louisville Slugger. Music is involved in the plan somewhere.
1984 – Vince Neil kills "Razzle" Dingley of Hanoi Rocks in a drunken driving accident, causing permanent brain damage to one other woman and seriously hurting another innocent victim. Hundreds of Motley Crue fans would duplicate this feat on highways across America in the following years; however, only Neil is known to have gotten away with a mere thirty days in jail for it.
1985 – Anthrax releases Spreading the Disease. Armored Saint delivers Delirious Nomad within two weeks, and upon hearing the record, a young Charlie Benante is heard to scoff at what a lame fag the band’s singer is.

1986 – Yngwie Malmsteen undergoes several risky, painful operations to have the absolute very last bit of rockin’ removed from his body. He later replenishes the now-empty cavities with fried chicken and Twinkies.
1987 – A coke-addled Dave Mustaine calls up members of Hirax, Virus, Genocide Nippon and even Masi to fire them from Megadeth without ever having hired them. Several members of Virus actually end up with severance checks from Capitol Records, which are quickly cashed and spent on mini-thins and new amps.

1988 – This picture was not taken of four guys who were not in Pantera and did not record any albums prior to Cowboys From Hell, especially albums with Judas-Priest-only-wussy songs about riding rockets. No shit.
1989 – The world begins the long, slow process of coming to grips with the fact that "rokken like Dokken" is not necessarily a good thing.
1990 – Dave Mustaine, clean and sober for five months, discovers the secret Sixth-and-a-half Step of his Twelve Step program, the one where you become a sanctimonious, self-righteous prick bedazzled by the sound of your own guitar playing and insanely obsessed with being taken seriously.
