Slash on his Les Paul with Axl Rose leaning into him at Rock in Rio II, Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, in January 1991.
Guns N' Roses played the festival twice, on January 20 and 23, and the first of those nights was the band's first show ever with Matt Sorum on drums and Dizzy Reed on keys. It kicked off a tour that ran until July 1993.
That September, Use Your Illusion I and II came out on the same day, a week before Nirvana's Nevermind, and took the top two spots on the Billboard 200, something no artist had done before. Between them they held 30 songs, from "November Rain" and "Civil War" to "You Could Be Mine" and "Estranged."

55 years ago today, on November 8, 1971, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album came out in the US, the record we all know as Led Zeppelin IV. The UK release followed on November 19.
Much of it was recorded at Headley Grange, an old house in Hampshire, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, with more work at Island Studios in London. The band left their name and the title off the sleeve entirely. The only clue was four symbols, one chosen by each member.
The eight songs became rock radio's backbone: "Black Dog," "Rock and Roll," "The Battle of Evermore," "Stairway to Heaven," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Four Sticks," "Going to California" and "When the Levee Breaks."
It hit No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US, has sold more than 37 million copies worldwide, and is certified 24x platinum in the US, double diamond.

In 1986, Metallica joined Ozzy Osbourne as the opening act on the legendary “Master of Puppets” North American tour.
That 1986 encounter marked the beginning of a deep respect and a lasting friendship between James Hetfield and Ozzy Osbourne.
In 2025, they took their last photo together at Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell concert. James admired Ozzy and had always considered him one of his idols.

From the web:
In 1998, Serena and Venus Williams claimed they could beat any man ranked outside the top 200 on the men’s tour.
German player Karsten Braasch, then ranked No. 203, accepted the challenge.
After a night of drinking and smoking with little preparation, Braasch defeated Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2 in straight sets.
The matches were not competitive. Braasch later said he never needed to use his finest serve.
The Williams sisters are the greatest female athletes of all time. And they barely made Braasch break a sweat.
It wasn't because Braasch was very good. He wasn't.
But as a male, he possesses biological advantages even the best female athletes can't compete against.
That's the very reason we established women's sports to begin with.
To even the playing field.
That shouldn't be controversial. And you shouldn't need a biology degree to understand it.

56 years ago today, on November 6, 1970, Aerosmith played their first gig, in the gym at Nipmuc Regional High School in Mendon, Massachusetts.
The lineup was Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Ray Tabano on rhythm guitar. A history teacher who advised the sophomore class talked the principal into paying them $50 from the class treasury, and he later said the money covered the rent on the band's Boston apartment. The set reportedly mixed covers like "Route 66" and "Train Kept A-Rollin'" with early originals like "Movin' Out" and "Somebody."
This shot from that night shows Tyler up front in a Nipmuc shirt, reportedly borrowed from the school locker room.

Brian Johnson riding a giant wrecking ball over the stage on AC/DC's Ballbreaker World Tour in 1996.
The tour backed Ballbreaker, the 1995 album produced by Rick Rubin. Every night opened with a cartoon intro starring Beavis and Butt-Head, then a huge wrecking ball swung down from a crane and smashed through a wall behind the drum riser, and the band came out through the rubble playing "Back in Black."
Later in the set Brian climbed onto the ball and rode it high above the stage during "Ballbreaker," before swinging from the giant bell in "Hells Bells." The tour ran from January to November 1996 across North America, Europe, South America and Australia. Miley Cyrus came in like a wrecking ball 17 years later.
⚡ The Ballbreaker tour marked Phil Rudd's return to AC/DC after more than a decade away. Did you catch AC/DC on the Ballbreaker tour? ⚡

🚨 The WNBA has named Paige Bueckers the winner of the 2026 Dawn Staley Community Leadership Award.
I'm genuinely curious. Which moment sealed the deal?
Was it the apparent $400 wager with Angel Reese on a game involving their own teams? The one the WNBA was foolish enough to publish on its official social media before quickly deleting the video and explaining the controversy away?
Was it twerking upside down against a wall while wearing her Team USA uniform?
Was it the viral footage from the WNBA All-Star nightclub after-party where Paige appears to be obliterated?
Or perhaps the early-morning chaos outside a Miami nightclub, where Arike Ogunbowale was arrested and a police officer pointed a Taser at Bueckers as she held onto her teammate?
According to the WNBA, this award recognizes a player who exemplifies Dawn Staley's spirit, leadership, charitable efforts, love for basketball and inspirational presence.
This award is supposed to go beyond philanthropy. The league is publicly celebrating someone as an inspirational leader and example for the next generation.
Or is this just another example of a league so determined to celebrate and defend its own CULTURE that questionable behavior is too often minimized, rationalized or excused rather than confronted with consistent professional standards.
There's always an explanation. Always another excuse. Always someone ready to defend the behavior because criticizing it might challenge the culture they've worked so hard to protect.
I hope this award marks one of the final chapters of the old WNBA, and that its next commissioner has the courage to replace a culture of excuses with one of genuine leadership, professionalism and accountability.

This iconic brick building located at 96 St. Marks Place in New York City holds a legendary connection between two of the greatest British rock bands.
Its facade is world-famous for having been immortalized on the cover of Led Zeppelin’s 1975 double album Physical Graffiti.
Years later, this same entrance and staircase once again took center stage in music history when The Rolling Stones chose it as the setting for the opening scenes of the music video for their song “Waiting on a Friend” in 1981, in which Mick Jagger waits for Keith Richards.
This architectural coincidence has turned the site into an unmissable cultural pilgrimage destination. Combining Led Zeppelin’s visual masterpiece with The Rolling Stones’ iconic street scene cements this New York City spot as a living monument of Rock History.

Since Angel is taking a step back this offseason to focus on herself, I thinks it’s a good time to drop this gem.
The more you actually look at Angel Reese’s numbers, the more ridiculous this entire SUPERSTAR narrative really becomes.
We’re talking about a player who’s essentially the WNBA version of Andre Drummond, since we’re love this NBA comparison thing so much.
An ELITE rebounder, no one’s taking that. One of the best rebounders the league has ever seen. But outside of rebounding, what exactly are we celebrating here? You cannot point to one single thing.
A post player shooting 51% TRUE SHOOTING despite taking the overwhelming majority of her shots around the basket. For context, that’s ABYSMAL, anyone else wouldn’t see the floor with that. UNPLAYABLE.
An 18% turnover rate from someone who isn’t even responsible for running an offense.
We’re watching a player struggle with some of the most BASIC aspects of offensive basketball, yet somehow she’s being marketed and discussed as one of the premier talents in women’s basketball. Her game is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
If you stripped away the celebrity, the social media following, and the manufactured superstar narrative, nobody would even be having these conversations.
Angel Reese is an elite rebounder with significant offensive limitations. That’s not hate. That’s an evaluation.
The gap between the player Angel Reese ACTUALLY is and the player her supporters desperately want everyone to believe she is might be the biggest disconnect in the entire WNBA.

EXCLUSIVE: A Honduran illegal alien who was arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge, issued a deportation order, then ordered released from ICE detention by a Clinton-appointed federal judge on "due process" grounds has now been arrested & charged w/ raping a woman in her Minnesota home while working as a handyman after his release. Police say the rape was captured on the woman’s internal home surveillance video.
Authorities in Ramsey County, MN have charged 42-year-old MARCOTULIO MELENDEZ DIAZ with felony 1st degree criminal sexual penetration w/ coercion. According to the criminal complaint, on October 11th, MELENDEZ DIAZ allegedly overpowered and repeatedly raped the female victim in her own home in Mounds View, MN against her will while working as a handyman, and the assault was captured on the woman’s internal home surveillance system video. He is in custody on $150,000 bond and will face up to 30 years in prison if convicted. ICE has placed a detainer on him.
ICE sources tell FOX that MELENDEZ DIAZ was initially caught and released at the Texas border by the Biden administration in April 2024. ICE arrested him in Minnesota in January 2026 during Operation Metro Surge and transferred him to ICE detention in Texas where he initially crossed the border illegally. An immigration judge issued him a deportation order on 3/30/2026 and MELENDEZ DIAZ appealed. But on 8/7/2026, a federal judge in the Western District of Texas, Judge Orlando L. Garcia (Clinton appointee) ordered MELENDEZ DIAZ released from ICE custody and granted his habeas petition on grounds of “due process”, and MELENDEZ DIAZ made his way back to Minnesota.
The Board of Immigration Appeals then rejected MELENDEZ DIAZ’s appeal on 10/9/2026 and issued him a final deportation order, and two days later, police say he raped the Minnesota woman in her home.
Frustrated ICE sources say this alleged rape would have never happened if MELENDEZ DIAZ had remained in ICE custody.
I’ve reached out to Judge Garcia’s office & courtroom deputy for comment.

🚨INCREDIBLE: A 3-year-old was kidnapped from a public library. 48 minutes later, he was on a city bus crying next to his kidnapper — and no one knew.
No one except the bus driver.
In Milpitas, California, driver Tim Watson had heard the police alert earlier that day: Missing 3-year-old boy, city-wide search underway.
Then a man boarded his bus with a small boy who wouldn't stop crying. Something felt wrong.
Tim looked closer. The face. The clothes. The description. It was him.
But he couldn't scream. He couldn't confront him. One wrong move and that little boy could be in even more danger.
So Tim came up with a plan.
He got on the intercom and told passengers: "Someone reported a missing green backpack, I'm going to take a quick look."
He started walking the aisle, pretending to search for a backpack — but he was really getting a close look at the child.
It was the missing boy.
Tim quietly radioed dispatch, alerted police, and then did the hardest thing of all — he sat back down, stayed calm, and kept driving like nothing happened, with the alleged kidnapper sitting just feet behind him.
He kept that bus rolling until police intercepted it. Officers swarmed the bus, arrested the man, and scooped that terrified little boy into safety.
That child is home with his family tonight because one bus driver trusted his gut and stayed cool under pressure.
He's not a cop. He's not a hero who was supposed to be there.
He's Tim Watson — a bus driver who saw a child in danger and refused to look away.
This man deserves to be recognized.🙏

This man was visibly upset and angry after this Black mother stole over 40 juice boxes and 160+ pieces of candy, which he had left out front for trick-or-treaters.
Upon returning home from being gone for no less than 10 min, he noticed all the candy and juice boxes he left out front were completely gone. After reviewing his surveillance footage to see what had transpired, he chased after this woman to confront, record, and expose her for teaching her children it’s okay to steal, curse, and when confronted, get even more confrontational and violent.
The nerve of this woman, telling him he’s the one ruining Halloween for her and other people’s children, when it was HER stealing all the candy from unattended homes.
You have to be extremely stupid to not know almost 99% of homes nowadays are equipped with some type of surveillance and your every move is being recorded… or maybe she did know and just doesn’t care because she thinks she’s above the law. Absolutely disgusting and vile!

Val Kilmer wanted the role of Jim Morrison so badly he spent thousands of his own dollars on an eight-minute audition tape. In it, he slipped between the different versions of the Lizard King—young and wild, later and heavier—singing and reading poetry until Oliver Stone had no choice but to pay attention.
He wasn’t even a big Doors fan at first, beyond the radio hits. So he taught himself roughly fifty songs by heart.
Fifteen of them ended up in the movie, and he sang nearly all the vocals himself. When the real band members listened, they sometimes couldn’t tell Kilmer’s voice from Morrison’s.
For nearly a year before cameras rolled, he lived it. He studied every scrap of footage, practiced the stage prowl (even getting tips from Paula Abdul), and absorbed endless stories from producer Paul Rothchild.
He wore the tight leather pants until they were properly gamey. Special contact lenses dilated his pupils so he always looked a little stoned—and made his balance unsteady, which helped the performance along.
Before filming began, more than a hundred people gathered around a campfire on a Malibu beach. They threw herbs into the flames, circled, and retraced Morrison’s steps in a kind of purification ritual.
Kilmer, hair already dyed and permed into the right shaggy shape, walked with them.
On set he rarely dropped character. The schedule was brutal, Stone wanted the mood, and Kilmer had already decided he was mostly playing a poet who happened to be a rock star.
Clothes stayed unwashed. People got called by their character names. When it was over, he needed therapy to climb back out of the role.
Years later, fans still sometimes tattooed Kilmer’s face thinking it was Morrison. He took it as the highest compliment.
The man who once said the leather pants probably killed Morrison had spent a year breathing in them anyway; and made the rest of us believe, for a couple of hours, that the Lizard King had stepped back into the light 🎶🎤🎸

43 years ago today, on October 29, 1983, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon logged its 491st week on the Billboard 200 and became the longest charting album in the chart's history.
That passed the 490 weeks Johnny Mathis' Johnny's Greatest Hits had piled up on the chart between April 1958 and July 1968. Dark Side first entered the Billboard 200 on March 17, 1973, and was still selling more than ten years later, long after most albums of its era had dropped away.
The prism cover was designed by Hipgnosis, with Storm Thorgerson and George Hardie, and it became one of the most recognized images in rock. Guinness World Records lists Dark Side as the record holder, and it has kept returning to the chart ever since.
🎸 Dark Side has now spent close to 1,000 weeks on the Billboard 200. What is your favorite track on the album? 🎸

🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!
A Nashville TEACHER OF THE YEAR walked away from her career because she says the district ORDERED HER TO FABRICATE A STUDENT’S GRADE.
She refused, so they went into the system and CHANGED IT THEMSELVES.
According to the teacher, a student didn’t finish a project so Hardcastle (the teacher) gave the grade the student earned... a failing grade.
Then a parent came in and SAT IN THE OFFICE FOR HOURS until that grade changed.
Three administrators huddled up and decided the AWARD-WINNING TEACHER was the problem.
She still refused to change the grade.
So they overrode her and changed it ANYWAY.
She quit in May and put all of it in a three-page resignation letter. It’s public. Read it yourself. She calls it GRADE FABRICATION.
And then she stood up in front of the school board and said the quiet part into a microphone: “Statistics are being skewed to protect the district, not our children.”
Our kids can’t read.
Can’t write.
Can’t do basic math.
...but the SCHOOL METRICS LOOK GREAT.
AND SHE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE.
WSMV4 Investigates pulled the internal emails of Diana Wills, a math teacher at Overton High.
Administrators told her she had to give FAILING STUDENTS a PASSING GRADE because she "hadn’t notified their parents first..."
She put her refusal in writing: “What is being done is unethical and could very well be interpreted as illegal.”
THE DISTRICT SUSPENDED HER.
She’s suing them right now.
At MNPS, when a teacher and an administrator disagree about a grade, THE ADMINISTRATOR WINS.
Not the person who taught the class.
Not the person who graded the work.
The bureaucrat whose numbers go UP when your kid passes.
HOMESCHOOL YOUR KIDS!!!!!
