In the music business since 1964‚ Alice Cooper was first the name of the band (From 1968 to 1975) and after the group dissolved‚ the vocalist Vincent Furnier had the opportunity to continue to use the name‚ since most of the fans had already linked his image with the name.

He has many scheduled tour dates in Australia‚ United States and Europe next April‚ June‚ July‚ August‚ September and October.

Not every band chose their name thinking about the commercial side of the music business. So there are many names that might get people confused about what kind of music they make. According to the Cambridge Dictionary‚ the meaning of the word Genesis is "the origin of something‚ when it is begun or starts to exist". But people who are religious might instantly link the name with the famous "Book of Genesis". So that was a problem that the British Progressive Rock band Genesis had in the early days. Because people used to think they were actually a religious group. To make things worse‚ their debut album was simply called "From Genesis To Revelation" (1969). So many people believed they were actually a religious group and many records stores placed the album in the religious section. That debut record reportedly sold less than 700 copies and obviously‚ failed to reach their potential future fanbase. How Genesis chose their name The original members of the group were former Charterhouse pupils and they were named by the pop impresario Jonathan King. He was the one who made it possible for them to record many singles and their debut album in 1968. At the time the band was formed by Tony Banks‚ Mike Rutherford‚ Peter Gabriel and Anthony Phillips. It was after leaving King's management that the band signed with Charisma Records and recorded their second album "Trespass" (1970). In an interview with John Edginton in 2014 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage)‚ King explained why he gave them the name Genesis. "I gave them the name Genesis because that to me was the start of my production career. I've always regarded myself as a record producer more than anything else. That's how it began‚" Jonathan King said. In the following years the band continued with many changes in their line-up‚ having a successful first era with Peter Gabriel on vocals. With him they released classic albums like "Nursery Cryme" (1971) and "Selling England by the Pound" (1973). But after he decided to leave the band in 1975‚ the drummer Phil Collins became the frontman. Their sound started to change but it was after the guitarist Steve Hackett left and only Collins‚ Rutherford and Banks remained that things really started to change. Mixing Pop and Progressive Rock the group skyrocketed to the top of the charts and became one of the best-selling bands of all time. So nowadays‚ millions of people won't confuse them with a religious group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDRXbP1MaY&;pp=ygUeZ2VuZXNpcyBmb2xsb3cgeW91IGZvbGxvdyBtZSBdThe post People thought Genesis was a religious group in the early days appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

After years of success fronting Van Halen‚ the singer David Lee Roth decided to leave the band in 1985 and form his own group. The line-up of the first album had Steve Vai (Guitar)‚ Billy Sheehan (Bass) and Gregg Bissonette (Drums). With those musicians‚ Lee Roth recorded the albums "Eat 'Em and Smile" (1986) and Skyscraper (1988). But according to the bassist Billy Sheehan‚ Roth originally wanted the Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens for his band. The musician told that story in an interview with Ryan Roxie (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar). David Lee Roth originally wanted Steve Stevens for his solo band "Steve (Stevens) was the guitarist Dave had his sights on. I think they spoke a little bit. But Steve was solid with Billy Idol and wanted to stay where he was. I met Steve after the rock band… we almost did a band together. He's an amazing guitarist and a wonderful guy." "But when it didn't work out with Dave‚ I told Dave‚ 'I know another Steve‚' because I had already spoken with Steve Vai about possibly working with him. So‚ when Steve Stevens wasn't available‚ I had Dave contact Steve and he worked out great‚" Billy Sheehan said. Before working with David Lee Roth‚ Steve Vai had already worked with Frank Zappa and had been a member of the Hard Rock band Alcatrazz‚ which had Graham Bonnet as the vocalist. Besides being Billy Idol's longtime collaborator‚ Steve Stevens also achieved fame on his own‚ especially with the release of the Top Gun theme song‚ which won a Grammy in 1987. During his years outside Idol's band‚ Stevens released solo albums and was a member of Vince Neil's solo group.  He had also collaborated with other artists like Michael Jackson‚ Ric Ocasek‚ Robert Palmer and many others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4qh_9vH1Ww&;pp=ygUhZGF2aWQgbGVlIHJvdGgganVzdCBsaWtlIHBhcmFkaXNlThe post David Lee Roth originally wanted Steve Stevens for his solo band appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Ringo Starr joined The Beatles in 1962‚ shortly before the group recorded their first album and he became one of the most influential drummers of all time. Although he is not in the first position when people list the best drummers of all time‚ almost all the famous drummers mention him as an inspiration because he always played what the song needed. Even though he is from an older generation‚ born in 1940‚ he was in touch with younger drummers in the late 60s and early 70s. One of them is the late legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham‚ who tragically passed away in 1980 at the age of 32. They were friends and had the chance to hang out many times. Over the years Ringo told many stories involving Bonham and Rock and Roll Garage selected some of them. The Ringo Starr stories with John Bonham One of Ringo's best friends was the late The Who drummer Keith Moon‚ who coincidentally passed away like Bonham‚ at the age of 32‚ but two years earlier‚ in 1978. Both of them were known for their wild lifestyle‚ which ultimately cost their lives. As the Beatles member recalled in an interview with BBC radio in 2021‚ those were wild times. But he also said that despite their behavior‚ they were both beautiful and kind. "Well‚ there were wild times‚ I can tell you that. Both are beautiful guys. Keith was uncle to my children‚ we would get derelict. A long time ago‚ but we would get derelict. And it just happens with John Bonham - we would get derelict. Both beautiful‚ emotional‚ loving‚ kind human beings. But the story of their actions is bigger than they are‚" Ringo Starr said. The funny story of when Ringo‚ Charlie Watts and John Bonham were hanging out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOSf9f5_qZ8&;pp=ygUQam9obiBib25oYW0gc29sbw%3D%3D But one of the coolest stories told by Ringo was when he invited Bonham and Charlie Watts from The Rolling Stones to go to his house. The musician told that story in 2021 during a press conference. He had a drum kit up in the attic in the 70s and he went up there with both of his guests. Bonham was known for hitting the drums really hard‚ unlike his other two friends‚ so when he started to play the drum kit started to hop away from him. "I had a drum kit up in the attic – it was like a cinema attic‚ music‚ whatever you want to do up there. Charlie came‚ and so did John Bonham. We’ve got three drummers‚ just hanging out. Bonham got on the kit. But because it was just like … you know‚ it’s not like onstage‚ where you nail them down‚ so they’re steady. It was just‚ like‚ there. So as he was playing‚ the bass drum was hopping away from him." "You think‚ 'Ah‚ man! 'That would have been a great little video‚ a TikTok or a photo [that] would have gone worldwide! But in the ‘70s‚ I had parties‚ and you’ll never find any photos. Because I wouldn’t let you take photos‚ you know‚ in my house. But I always think‚ That would have been a great shot to have‚" Ringo Starr recalled. John Bonham loved to throw Starr in the pool For tax reasons or to live in a place where the sun shines almost the entire year‚ the British musicians usually moved to the United States back then‚ or at least had a house where they stayed for a few months. That was the case of Ringo‚ who lived in Hollywood‚ California. He recalled in a picture book called "Postcards from the Boys"‚ released by him in 2004‚ that Bonham used to go to his house all the time just to throw him in the pool. "All these houses‚ all these homes. I was California dreaming. At 2 a.m.‚ because L.A. closed down at that time of night. You could hear all the traffic coming to my house. There was a party every night. John Bonham would always get a bee in his bonnet. Wherever he was in L.A.‚ he would drive up to my house‚ grab me and throw me in the pool. Day or night -- he wouldn't care. I'd be ready‚ about to go out and‚ 'No John‚ no!' 'No‚ I'm going to throw you in the pool!' He was a very good guy. Well‚ for a while‚ and then he sadly left us‚" Ringo Starr said.The post The Ringo Starr stories with John Bonham appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
