David Lee Roth

Mazel tov!

Some of these rockers left on their own and others were fired but their departures still shocked the rest of the world regardless.

Ozzy Osbourne and David Lee Roth once partied so hard in Nashville, nearly sparking a full-blown riot. Here’s what happened.

A young Van Halen famously opened for Black Sabbath in 1978.

The former Van Halen singer will hit the road after making a triumphant return from a five-year retirement.

The Van Halen star made fantastic use of a a new four-man group of backing vocalists.

Some had careers that are still going while others spent a short lived time in the spotlight. See what happened to rock and metal's class of 1985.

Some songs stand the test of time. Others only seem to resonate for a quick moment. These are the latter.

Well that's rad. These 31 rock and metal albums have hit the four decade mark. How many of these 1985 records have you listened to?
