Another Rock N Roll birthday we mark today is the late Leslie West of MOUNTAIN. Born in 1945, he passed in 2020. Although not as revered today as they should be, MOUNTAIN were an incredibly influential band in the early days of heavy music. Here are some MOUNTAIN artifacts from my collection, including an All Access from their 35th anniversary tour, signed passes from an XM "Then...Again Live" show I hosted, and guitar picks from both Leslie and Richie Scarlet. God Bless Leslie West! #LeslieWest #Mountain

We have another @Sevendust birthday to celebrate this week! Send your best today of the great Vince Hornsby. In Dust We Trust! #Sevendust @Vinnie7D

All the best to my pal @TheGnudz from The @Offspring, who announced today he would be temporarily stepping away from the band to deal with a serious health issue. He is a phenomenal musician, super-cool guy, and a living embodiment of punk rock. Some of my fave interviews thru the years have been Noodles and I talking about the great punk music and bands of our childhoods. Please send him your very best. 🙏

It was a hilarious beginning to an interview about the Rise of the Roach Tour with @JacobyShaddix of @PapaRoach and @SpencerInk of @IceNineKills, as they spoke with @LouBrutus of @HardDriveRadio. #PapaRoach #IceNineKills #RiseOfTheRoach
