This week in 1983, "the two Daves" of Megadeth met for the first time when David Ellefson serendipitously moved into the apartment directly below Dave Mustaine (Ellefson had just moved to Hollywood from his home in Minnesota to pursue his dream of becoming a rock star). After allegedly having a flowerpot thrown at his air conditioner for playing his bass too loudly, Ellefson introduced himself to his upstairs neighbor with a peace offering in the form of a 6-pack of beer. Mustaine invited him in and played a couple of songs that he'd been working on since his unexpected departure from Metallica a few months earlier. According to legend, those songs eventually became "Devil's Island" on Peace Sells and "Set the World Afire" on So Far So Good So What! 🤘😎

IN MEMORIAM:
June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009
Happy Birthday to LES PAUL, an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor. He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, and his techniques served as inspiration for the Gibson Les Paul. Paul taught himself how to play guitar, and while he is mainly known for jazz and popular music, he had an early career in country music. He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention. He would have been 109 today! 😎

May 12th 1967...THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE kicked off the Summer of Love by releasing their legendary debut album, Are You Experienced. One month later, after being recommended to a promoter by Paul McCartney, the band performed at the Monterey Pop Festival, where Jimi famously lit his guitar on fire after taking two hits of a special batch of acid called "monterey purple." It doesn't get any more metal than that, folks.

On This Day In 1991...Ozzy Osbourne was exonerated in a wrongful death suit brought by the family of a teenager who was allegedly persuaded to kill himself after listening to Su***de Solution. The entire lawsuit was predicated on the notion that Ozzy (and CBS Records) had deliberately placed subliminal messages in the song. However, after careful consideration, the court granted Ozzy's motion for summary judgment, noting that the boy's family failed to demonstrate the existence of any such messages. In the end, the judge concluded that the song represented speech that was "fully protected by the first amendment," and that the boy's su***de could not have been a foreseeable result of Ozzy's music. 🤘😎

This Week In 1983 (May 1st)...Lita Ford released her debut solo album, "Out For Blood". Even though the songs gave listeners a glimpse of the success that lay in store for her, this album is typically remembered for its controversial cover. The original version featured Lita (in a delightfully skimpy leather outfit) standing in front of a huge spiderweb while holding a broken guitar that was spurting blood.

The record company thought the image was too intense, so they replaced it with a picture of Lita standing in front of a purple background with her guitar. But don't worry, as you can see from the photo, they decided to let her keep the skimpy leather outfit. 🤘 🔥
