Mick Fleetwood
Michael John Kells Fleetwood (born 24 June 1947) is a British musician, songwriter and occasional actor. He is best known as the drummer, co-founder, and leader of the rock band Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood, whose surname was merged with that of the group's bassist John "Mac" McVie to form the name of the band, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Fleetwood Mac in 1998.

Musicians From Denver
While Denver may not be as recognized for historical musical prominence like such cities as Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago or New York City, it still manages to have a very active popular, jazz, and classical music scene, which has nurtured many artists and genres to regional, national, and even international attention. Though nearby Boulder, Colorado has its own very distinct music scene, they are intertwined and often artists based there also play in Denver. History Jazz The "King of Jazz", bandleader Paul Whiteman, was born in Denver, Colorado on March 28, 1890. From the 1920s-50s, Welton Street in Five Points was home to over fifty bars and clubs, where some of the greatest jazz musicians such as Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Nat King Cole, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, and others performed. Folk music As folk music gained popularity in the 1960s, a number of Denver's old folk clubs began to fill with then-unknown stars such as Judy Collins. Along with a po ...

The Dance (Fleetwood Mac Album)
''The Dance'' is a live album by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 19 August 1997. It hailed the return of the band's most successful lineup of Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks, who had not released an album together since 1987's ''Tango in the Night'', a decade earlier. It was the first Fleetwood Mac release to top the U.S. album charts since 1982's ''Mirage''. History ''The Dance'' was the last Fleetwood Mac album to feature Christine McVie as a full-time member before she left a year after the album's release although she returned to the band in 2014 to tour. Debuting at No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' 200 with sales of 199,000, ''The Dance'' became the fifth best-selling live album of all time in the United States, selling a million copies within eight weeks, spending more than seven months within the top 40, and eventually selling over 6,000,000 copies worldwide.

Your Filthy Little Mouth
''Your Filthy Little Mouth'' is the fourth full-length studio LP by David Lee Roth, then the former lead singer of the American rock band Van Halen. It was produced by Nile Rodgers whose work had included David Bowie and Madonna, and released in 1994 by Reprise Records. Overview Released near Roth's critical and commercial nadir, ''Your Filthy Little Mouth'' did not conform to the expectations of rock music during 1994 (such as grunge rock), nor to the public's perception of Roth. The album features stripped-down arrangements that can be categorized as diversely as jazz fusion, dance, country, reggae, R&B, big band, rock, and blues. However, the commercial specialization of TV and radio formats during the early 1990s left such diverse albums with few options for airplay. The B-Side to "She's My Machine", an atmospheric blues song titled "Mississippi Power", is available on the Japanese release. Reception At the time of its release in 1994, ''Your Filthy Little Mouth' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
A Little Ain't Enough
''A Little Ain't Enough'' is the third full-length studio album by David Lee Roth, released on January 15, 1991 through Warner Music Group. It was certified gold on April 11, 1991. Produced by Bob Rock, the album featured the lead guitar work of Jason Becker, a then up-and-coming guitarist who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's disease) a week after joining the band. He managed to finish recording the album, but was unable to tour in support of the album, as his condition left him with little strength in his hands. The album marked the beginning of Roth's commercial decline, given the drop-off in sales from his prior two albums. During the year of the album's release, the Seattle grunge movement was beginning a sea-change in rock, and Roth's brand of glam metal was considered, by mainstream audiences, obsolete. Although the album went out of print on the Warner Bros. label in 1996, it was later reissued (in remastered form) in 2007 through th ...

Skyscraper (album)
''Skyscraper'' is the second full-length studio album by David Lee Roth, released during his solo career after his departure as the original lead vocalist from Van Halen. It was released on January 26, 1988, on Warner Bros. Records. Overview ''Skyscraper'' was issued shortly after the commercially and critically successful Eat 'Em and Smile Tour of 1986–1987. ''Skyscraper'' hit No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 U.S. album chart during February 1988, en route to selling two million copies in the United States. The album features one of Roth's most popular singles, "Just Like Paradise", which reached No. 6 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Additionally, it features the acoustic ballad "Damn Good", which reached No. 2 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Rock chart. At the time of its release, the eclectic, quasi-psychedelic ''Skyscraper'' divided public and critical opinion. Although Roth's 1988 Skyscraper Tour was successful, many fans and critics disappointed by Van Halen's post-Ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eat 'Em And Smile
''Eat 'Em and Smile'' is the debut studio album by former Van Halen singer David Lee Roth, released on July 7, 1986, after his unpredicted successful debut EP '' Crazy from the Heat'' (1985). History After releasing '' Crazy from the Heat'', an EP of lounge standards that became a surprise hit during early 1985, and subsequently parting ways with Van Halen while the band was at its commercial zenith, Roth assembled a new backing band: bassist Billy Sheehan (later of Mr. Big); drummer Gregg Bissonette (later of Ringo Starr and Elton John, among others); and guitarist Steve Vai, who had worked previously with Frank Zappa, PiL and Alcatrazz. Both a critical and commercial success, ''Eat 'Em and Smile'' was praised by ''Rolling Stone'': "No song on the album was as slick as any of the singles from Van Halen's ' 5150' album" (which featured Roth's replacement, Sammy Hagar) and also opined that ''Eat 'Em and Smile'' was much more "trashy fun". Indeed, many of the reviews of ''Eat ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
