It’s June 15th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
In 1986, U2 and The Police headlined a concert in New Jersey celebrating 25 years of Amnesty International.
In 1989, Nirvana released their debut album, Bleach.
In 2003, Metallica had the number one album in the country with St. Anger. It was their fourth record to top the charts.
And in 1992, Bruce Springsteen began his first world tour without the E Street Band in Stockholm, Sweden.
And that’s what happened today in rock history.
