On July 28, 1979, Joe Perry , the iconic guitarist of "Aerosmith", abruptly left the band. (Photo: Richard Corkery) The tension within "Aerosmith" had been brewing for some time. The band's meteoric rise to fame in the early '70s had been accompanied by relentless touring, recording pressures, and a hedonistic lifestyle. Substance abuse and personal conflicts began to take their toll on the members, particularly on the relationship between Joe Perry and lead singer Steven Tyler . The recording of their sixth studio album, "Night in the Ruts", was plagued with delays and disagreements. The situation reached a boiling point during a concert in Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Ohio. Perry's wife Elyssa and Tom Hamilton's wife Terry got into a physical confrontation backstage. This fracas was just one in a series of arguments that had been unraveling during the tour. The escalating conflict culminated in an explosive backstage argument between Perry and Tyler, leading Perry to announce his departure from "Aerosmith". The news left fans in disbelief. Perry's exit was seen as a catastrophic blow to the band, as his while he is one of the band's main songwriters and his guitar work was integral to their signature sound. "Aerosmith", often referred to as "The Bad Boys from Boston," had built their reputation on the electrifying chemistry between Tyler and Perry. With Perry gone, many wondered if the band could survive. Perry's departure had immediate and far-reaching consequences. "Aerosmith, struggled to complete "Night in the Ruts", ultimately hiring Jimmy Crespo to finish the album and fill the void left by Perry. The album lacked the cohesive energy that defined their earlier work. Commercially, it underperformed compared to their previous releases. Meanwhile, Perry wasted no time in forming "The Joe Perry Project", quickly releasing the album "Let the Music Do the Talking" in 1980. The new band's raw sound and Perry's distinctive guitar work garnered positive reviews, but it was clear that the magic of "Aerosmith" was difficult to replicate. But it did not end with that. Brad Whitford, "Aerosmith's" other guitarist, also left the band in 1981 to pursue a new project, "Whitford/St. Holmes", with Ted Nugent's vocalist Derek St. Holmes. This further compounded "Aerosmith's" challenges, as the band had now lost both of its primary guitarists. Whitford's departure underscored the deepening crisis within the band and contributed to their struggle to maintain their identity and sound. The years following Perry's departure were challenging for "Aerosmith". The band released albums that failed to capture their former glory. Substance abuse issues continued to plague the members, further hampering their efforts to reclaim their status. However, the story took a dramatic turn in 1984 when Perry and Tyler reconnected, leading to Perry's and Whiteford's return to the band. This reunion marked the beginning of a remarkable comeback for "Aerosmith", culminating in the release of the massively successful album "Permanent Vacation" in 1987 and later "Pump" in 1989 and of course their best-selling album "Get A Grip" in 1993. In retrospect, July 28, 1979, was not just the day Joe Perry quit "Aerosmith"; it was the beginning of a new chapter that would ultimately lead to one of the greatest comebacks in rock history.

Guitarist Jason Becker is celebrating his birthday today. Let's tell you a little bit about the guitarist who could have conquered the world if not for the ALS disease he was diagnosed with. (Photo: Fanart.tv) He was born in Richmond California on July 22, 1969, as Jason Eli Becker. He was exposed to guitar at a very young age because both his father and uncle were guitarists, and he immediately became a child prodigy with an amazing talent for playing guitar. Back in high school he performed with his band in a young talent contest and performed pieces by Yngwie Malmsteen . The following home video shows an example of the abilities of a 16-year-old prodigy. At that time he met another amazing guitarist named Marty Friedman . In 1986, when Jason was only 17, the two formed the band "Cacophony", with whom they released two studio albums "Speed ​​Metal Symphony" (1987) and "Go Off!" (1988), in which they presented their incredible playing abilities. In 1988, Jason and Marty released solo albums at the same time. Jason his first solo album "Perpetual Burn" and Marty Friedman with his "Dragon's Kiss". In 1989, Marty Friedman left the band and joined "Megadeth", while Jason followed in the footsteps of two other guitar giants, Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai , and began collaborating with David Lee Roth . He co-wrote and recorded with Roth his third solo album "A Little Ain't Enough" and was ready to conquer the world as an amazing guitar star, but just then, following a routine examination due to excruciating pain in his leg, he was diagnosed with ALS when doctors predicted his life expectancy of maximum five years. (Photo: Soundcloud.com) However, against all odds, Becker continues to create music until recently, despite the loss of his ability to play the guitar, walk, talk and breathe on his own. Jason may have lost the ability to play the guitar, but he did not lose his desire to live and create music. He continues to write and create as he communicates through a series of eye movements. With a system developed by his father, Jason spells words as well as notes and chords. The music he writes in this amazing process, is performed by top world guitarists, including Joe Satriani , Steve Vai , Neal Schon , Steve Morse , Paul Gilbert , Joe Bonamassa , and others. In 2012, a documentary about Becker's life called "Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet", was released. ( Photo: Ross Pelton) Jason's latest album is called "Triumphant Hearts" and it was released in 2018, but we definitely expect that with his amazing fighting spirit he will issue more amazing albums.

The album "Appetite for Destruction", is one of the biggest albums in the world of music, it broke records, shattered conventions, and mostly changed the face of music, the debut album of "Guns N 'Roses" was released on July 21, 1987. At a time when glam was the hottest thing in rock music, band members looked better than supermodels and the amount of hair spray could launch a rocket to space, this wild bunch came to turn it all around. Unequivocal! The album was a turning point in the rock world of the late 80s!! It was a different, dirty, dangerous, and extremely aggressive album compared to what was out at the time. It is very difficult to talk about an album with such an aura, especially when it is the best-selling debut album in the history of music with over 30 million copies! But we will try... The album did not really succeed in its first year of release, in 1987. It did not receive much airplay or exposure and even received harsh criticism from many critics. After a year of touring in bars and small clubs as band members scattered their "destruction" everywhere, it began to gain momentum, and apart from playing on various radio stations, MTV, which was popular at the time, gave it plenty of screen time. The singles: " Welcome to the Jungle ", " Sweet Child O 'Mine " and " Paradise City " were anthems and were played frequently over the airwaves. This supergroup (there is no other way to call them) is made up of exceptional and talented musicians who are from out of space. Undoubtedly the total parts here are greater than the whole. This is no one-man show here (Axl will realize it later on his own), and no artist is more prominent here than the others. True, Axl Rose and Slash were the dominant ones, but with their ears on the ground, without a doubt, all of this would not have happened without the other members in the lineup Duff McKagan , Izzy Stradlin , and Steven Adler . Slash said that at the beginning, on one of the tour rounds, they were traveling in a van from Los Angeles to Seattle, and the van with all the equipment got stuck on the road. To get to the show, they hitchhiked along the way and eventually came up to the stage with rented gear for the show. This experience brought them very close together and made them a cohesive and connected group. (Photo: Grunge.com) The hallmark of one of the greatest guitarists in the world is revealed on this album - Slash !!! And that sound did not come easily. Mike Clink, who produced this famous album, sat with Slash for many hours, with a variety of guitars and amps, to find the sound that Slash wanted so badly. In the end, as we all know, the combination of the Gibson Les Paul guitar with the Marshall amp is the one that was chosen and created the famous hallmark and sound that shakes the eardrum and soul of us all. An interesting story about that Les Paul guitar is - It is actually a replica of the original guitar. The replica was created by Kris Derrig, who worked at a musical instrument store in Los Angeles. Legend has it that Lenny Kravitz also held such a replica. What's more interesting is that the imitation was so good and included improvements that made the guitar sound amazing, which eventually led Gibson to create in 2010 a signature model based on the exact iconic replica called "Slash Appetite Les Paul model". "KISS" singer and guitarist Paul Stanley , who was one of the first producers "Geffen record" company offered to the band, really liked Guns materials and sound but insisted on changing Steven's drumming style. Thankfully, in the end, the band disagreed with Paul and we were privileged to have Steven's 'dragging' and bombastic sound. When everyone around presented an extravagant drum set with double bass drums, tom-toms in a variety of sizes and colors, and several cymbals that were enough for the Red Army choir, Steven Adler presented a set of drums that returned to basic, to the sources: bass drum, one tom-tom, one flour tom-tom (sometimes two) and a snare. Although a limited set, but as we witness today, it also provides great power and technicality. The man that completed him on bass is of course Duff McKagan , who gave Steven the blows on the rails he rode on and took him on a journey of a battering, cruel, and rough pace. Sometimes he led songs on the album and sometimes accompanied them, but no doubt he gave them the volume and power they convey. The collaboration of Slash and Izzy Stradlin is more than perfect. Izzy is an excellent guitarist, accompanying the leader that allows him the creativity and dynamics he reaches in songs. Admittedly a bit of an annoying but real statement: Izzy was the perfect backdrop for the real star. And the icing on the cake was the man whose voice was unique but also his character, which contributed greatly to the band's image: Axl Rose . Axl turned the lyrical topics that were quite familiar in the rock genre at the time - drugs, alcohol, relationships, into something much dirtier, rougher, and crueler. All these elements are reflected in the album where each song is amazing on its own... The album opens with an explosion with " Welcome to the Jungle ", which tells the story of Los Angeles's dark side, especially about young artists trying to find fame there, like the friends from Guns who learned it in the flesh. It is interesting to note that Axl wrote the lyrics to the song while visiting Seattle which gave him some perspective and a source for comparison. When the song was first released in 1987 it was unsuccessful in the US. The band released it again in October 1988, after the single " Sweet Child O 'Mine " became a hit and by then it was already a big hit. Eventually, he used a transcription of a Les Paul '59 guitar attached to a Marshall JCM amplifier and was able to achieve the desired result. Continuing with the craziness to the second track, " It's So Easy ": a song written by Duff along with West Arkeen who also helped write the songs "Patience", "The Garden" and "Yesterdays". This is the first single released from the album, a surprising choice given that the album is steeped in bigger hits. The song tells of the band's condition with a depleted bank account and difficulty making money, but what was very easy for them was "girls". From there we board a night train with " Nightrain ": a song that does not refer to transportation but is a kind of tribute to a type of cheap and infamous wine from California called "Night Train Express". The band members used to drink the wine in huge amounts because it was cheap and with a high percentage of alcohol. The first half of the guitar solo and the guitar at the beginning of the song were played by Izzy and the second half was played by Slash. In the fourth track, " Out to Get Me " , Axl drew inspiration from his youth, in which he was no small brat and the police were an integral part of his daily life, and not in a positive way. He was constantly told how he should behave, what he should do, and how he should dress so as not to be a brat and avoid trouble. But of course, that did not stop him and in one of the performances before the song started, he dedicated the song to all those who had the & @% $ broken and were constantly told what to do. The fifth song, " Mr. Brownstone " was written by Izzy and Slash in Izzy's apartment on a paper shopping bag in which they complain about their heroin addiction (Brown is a nickname for heroin). The song tells about how heroin affected the band and is the first song the band wrote after signing for Geffen. The song has become a regular part of their tour since 1986. The sixth song, " Paradise City ", is Slash's favorite song (according to several sources). A song was written by all the band members as they improvise while riding the bus back from a show in San Francisco. Imagine all five members of the band (as in the scene from The Patience) only they are sitting on the bus, playing acoustic guitars and everyone is throwing a line. This is exactly how the song was written. Unlike the rest of the songs on the album, in the song " My Michelle " Slash replaced his popular Gibson in the 1960s Gibson SG, because he was looking for a darker sound. The song is about a girl who was a member of the band and several times "hinted" to them that she always dreamed that someone would write a song about her. At first, Axl created a soft and sweet song but very quickly felt it was not real and turned it into a dark and a bit gloomy song. Although the band members were afraid of Michelle's reaction because the text talks about the difficulties in her life she loved the piece. The song " Think About You " was written by Izzy before he joined Guns and it talks about falling in love. Some say it was written about a girl named Monique Lewis, whom all the band members desired, and that Axel even has her tattoo on his arm. The part that is probably the most famous on the album and which brought the band success is " Sweet Child O 'Mine ". Slash invented the ingenious and immortal riff when he played with the guitar. He thought the riff was childish and never thought of doing anything with it, but Axl loved it very much and forced him to keep playing. Izzy added a few chords to the song and the rest is history. The song was written by Axl about his girlfriend Erin Everly, the daughter of Don Everly from the Everly Brothers band. After dating her for years they married in Las Vegas in 1990 but only 9 months later the marriage was canceled, when Everly claimed that Axl had abused her. By the way, Duff McKagan 's autobiography claims that Slash still thinks it's Guns' worst song. Slash noted in an interview with the Rolling Stones that he was influenced here by the bands "Cream", "Led Zeppelin", and Jeff Beck. As for Axe's voice, rumor has it he listened to "Lynyrd Skynyrd's" songs before the recording in a conscious attempt to mimic the sound of the southern band. The song that seals the album, " Rocket Queen " , tells the story of a woman named Barbie Von Greif, according to what is written on the inside cover of the album. Barbie used to hang out with the band members in her early days along with her friend Pamela Manning. Pamela and Barbie had a band as well. Barbie Sarah and Pamela played drums and the two thought of calling their band "Rocket Queen". Legend has it that the sounds of groaning and sex during the song are a recording of Axl having sex in the studio with drummer Steven Adler 's girlfriend, Adriana Smith. And now a little about the album cover... The original design of the cover included an illustration of a robot and a girl allegedly raped by him. The record stores did not like the cover and the pressure exerted on the band caused her to change it to the familiar cross cover with the illustrations of the band members when the original painting was inserted into the inner cover. In addition, the vinyl album did not include the traditional side A and side B, but side G and side R. Songs 6-1, which dealt with drugs and the hard life in the big city, were crowned as side G, i.e. Guns, while the rest of the songs were inserted side R, i.e. Roses, which deals with love, sex, and personal relationships. The album "Appetite for Destruction" is a powerful and mighty album that had a huge impact at the time and even today when you hear every single one of the songs in it feel the same power soaring again. Axl takes out his anger and aggression and at the same time his fears and weaknesses. When you take such a powerful sound with such powerful lyrics and combine them with a bunch of musicians from another galaxy, that's what makes this album the best album of the late 80s!

Drummer Jason Bonham is celebrating his birthday today. the son of legendary drummer John Bonham may have inducted his father to the "Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame", but he himself did not have a significant career with one big band, but rather mostly served as a very respected session drummer. (Photo: Brandon Nagy) He started drumming already at the age of 5, not surprisingly, and already at the age of 15 he started playing with different bands and even performing. Bonham set up two bands himself. The first was "Airrace", which he formed in the early '80s, but did not release any official album. The other, was called "Bonham" which he formed in the late 80's and with which he released two albums, "The Disregard of Timekeeping" in 1989 and "Mad Hatter" in 1991. For most of Bonham's career, he was a session drummer, he recorded no less than 25 studio albums with bands and artists such as: Virginia Wolf, Jimmy Page , Paul Rodgers , "UFO", "Foreigner", Joe Bonamassa ", and more... One of the main projects Bonham has partnered with is the supergroup " Black Country Communion ", in which he collaborates with singer and bassist Glenn Hughes , guitarist Joe Bonamassa , and keyboardist Derek Sherinian. With this band, he has released four excellent studio albums and a live album. Bonham is also part of the band " California Breed " which includes bassist Glenn Hughes and guitarist producer Andrew Watt. A mesmerizing combination of hard rock with blues, post-grunge, and punk who released a single album on May 20, 2014. Bonham was also a part of "Led Zeppelin's" reunions, and is clearly a worthy replacement for his father. He was interested in continuing to work on a new album with "Led Zeppelin" members, following the last reunion in 2007, but Robert Plant was not interested. In this situation, Bonham recommended none other than Myles Kennedy to replace Plant. Myles even came to a successful audition where the members worked on new material. Eventually, however, the project did not materialize, and the world lost one of the most interesting lineups in rock history. One of Bonham's most recent projects is the "Sammy Hagar & The Circle" supergroup formed in 2004 and featuring "Red Rocker" Sammy Hagar, bassist (ex-"Van Helen") Michael Anthony , and guitarist Vic Johnson. The supergroup released in 2015 the live album "At Your Service" which includes cover versions for bands that involved members of the supergroup, "Led Zeppelin", "Van Helen", "Montrose" and "The Waboritas".

Incubus' seventh album was released on July 12, 2011 !! Let us open with a quote from the band's singer Brandon Boyd ... “By about three songs into the writing process, I think we began to understand that we were unearthing something new. If Not Now, When? is our unabashed, romantic, lush, sonic love letter to the world. It’s darker, slower, richer, more refined, and more involved than anything Incubus has birthed to date.” As with almost every band, there comes a moment when they are looking for something different, they experience new things and strive to produce an album different from the ones they have produced up to that moment. Incubus experienced this moment and it came to it very ready! In April 2008, after a long tour, the band took a break. Do not get us wrong, the break was not due to fatigue, friction, musical disagreement, or lack of motivation, but out of full awareness that it was time to stop... it was time to connect to your roots, the environment, the family, and especially yourself. Brandon Boyd , singer, writer, and lead singer of the band, released his first solo album. Mike Einziger , the lead guitarist and writer, studied composition, music theory as well as biological evolution at Harvard University. Ben Kenney, the band's bassist, released his second solo album. Chris Kilmore, the band's DJ, and keyboardist, learned to play the piano, and drummer Jose Pasillas had a child. In addition to all this, the band released a compilation album in 2009 called "Monuments and Melodies", so it was not really a break. In August 2010 the members of the band decided that they had had enough of the break and were interested in starting work on the new album. They came to this reunion ready, mature, and with great passion and desire to produce something different. Unlike the band's previous albums, the songs were written this time in the recording studio and not during the tour or in rehearsal rooms. They started the whole process together from scratch. The combination of the members was very much in line with the change that took place in the process of creating the album and the end result. Sounds a bit vague but we'll explain. (Photo: Brantley Gutierrez) Each of the members testified that the experiences he went through during those two years influenced and blended in perfectly with the other members. Mike who studied composition and led the writing of the album, wanted to take the songs to a simpler, more pleasant, and less aggressive place. Chris who learned to play the piano, integrated amazingly with the new line created, Jose invested a lot in adapting the drums to the songs and not forcing on them the strong and aggressive sound as before. It turned out that the final product is much more complete, harmonious, and melodic, with Brandon's words simply moving and flouting through the sound. Don’t get us wrong, this album is not as psychedelic, instrumental, or experimental as people like to call “different” albums of bands. Is an album where the band's amazing fingerprint is still felt, its core is there and it's still very clear, but the style is different. Fundamentally different from the aggressive guitars, fast tempo, effects, and dynamics of previous albums. In order for you to get some more lines for the character of the album, we will talk a little about the name and the cover. The name of the album - "If not now, when?" Is based on the name of a novel of the same name written by the Jewish Italian writer Primo Levi in ​​1982. The name of that novel is taken from the patriarchs, verse thirteen - "he would say, if I do not have me, who do I have; If not now, when? a statement attributed to "Hillel the Elder". The name of the album matched exactly what the band felt, that they were taking a risk, that they were trying something that until now they had not dared to try. The album cover features the French famous rope-walking artist Philippe Petit, who became famous mainly for walking on a rope between the two towers of Notre Dame, and following the famous event, he walked on a rope stretched between the Twin Towers in New York in 1974. This is exactly what the band members Wanted to pass through the album cover. An image that entails a lot of daring, talent, and extraordinary ability. This album is a musical delight that takes you on a wonderful journey between amazing sounds and lyrics. He slowly sweeps you away at a slow pace, stroking you but occasionally moving you a little here and a little there. You feel as if your brain is going through an out-of-body experience as it hovers from above and floats among the clouds. The only two singles that came out of the album and gave a little taste of what's going on inside our "Adolescents" and "Promises, Promises" . But there are many more wonderful... "Thieves" gives you the feeling that Brandon may have lived in the country for a while... " Isadore" is a kind of charming love song... "In The Company Of Wolves" gives a few moments for self-observation... "Switchblade” which is the most rhythmic song on the album that shakes you a bit and of course the song that bears the name of the album and also opens it. We highly recommend that you find some free time, put on headphones, and click play on one of the links below. We believe that this album will become an integral part of your weekly rest time.

On July 9, 2002, the third album of the band "Hayehudim" was released. We will mention at every opportunity that we are total groupies, yes, like 16-year-olds in everything related to this band but if so we must be honest about the music and with ourselves. This album came out about 4 years after the album "Hayehudim" (bearing the band name) which smashed the second album syndrome and brought us exploding songs like "Sami Free", "Age of God", "Help Me", "Intermeth" and of course "Theft" and also emotional songs like "Could Be", "Drop in the Sea", "Fly" and of course the amazing and immortal "Sometimes", in short, a perfect album !!! This album was also released 5 years before the heavy, killer, gilded, and so-anticipated " Forte ", an album that lifted the band several notches up, really really close to Olympus with songs like "You Have No Place", "Here It Comes", "New York City", "Even when not crying", "Can not do otherwise" and of course "What About You" that reveals the gladiatorial power of this crazy band !!! So our album is basically a "sandwich child", between the older child, the leader, the adult that everyone compliments, and between the young child, the little one that everyone cares about, who goes after and pampers him. A sandwich kid who didn’t really get attention, didn’t go into details, and let grow and develop on his own. Yes, they are all here, Orit Shahaf , Tom Petrover , Yahav, Avi Stroll, Yiftach Shahaf, and Mittelman. The sound is here too, the strong distortions, the inconceivable intensities in the couple's singing but... but something here is not polished enough, something is missing. Although on this album the songs are much longer than on the previous albums, there are even more English songs here than on the previous albums, it seems like the band tried to go further on the road but something there got lost along the way. Apart from the immortal and mesmerizing songs that are to this day in the band's setlist like “War Bell”, “Fall”, “Another Place” and of course “Twentieth Century” the other songs on the album are missing. We feel they lack the synchronicity, harmony, and flow that so characterizes the band, as if the members went beating each other in the studio and didn't really flow with each other ideas (it's just our feeling, not something we know). Take for example the "Amen" which sounds tired and heavy, even though the band has songs like that, it manages to stretch over almost 6 minutes. The song "Oh Lord" which sounds like a huge potential, throws you into the grunge area with an excellent rhythm of drums and riffs but sounds like it was taken from a demo recording of a band at the beginning of its journey. The song "Now You" feels as if there is no harmonic dynamic in the sound of the guitar, with the drums and vocals. We will stop here because it really hurts us to write these lines, we love everything about this band but it is less so. Even the less good songs have some buds that do kindness like "At the End, You Cry" and "Somewhere Else." We want to believe that this is an album that the band had to release to progress and mature into an album that came out later. (Photo: Avihai Levy) After this album, the "Hayehudim" underwent a significant change in the lineup when Iftach Shahaf left and was replaced by two huge guitarists, Daniel Brecher and Guy Be'er. This comes out significantly in the sound and dynamics of the album " Forte " where you feel the leap made by the band. This is the first album in which Orit Shahaf started painting the album cover and the design of the inner booklet.

Geddy Lee 's mother, Mary Weinrib, passed away on July 2, 2021, just a few weeks before her 96th birthday. Rush fans have known Mary, among other things, from her performance in the documentary "Rush: Beyond the Stage Lighted" from 2010, and most recently from the docu-series "From Cradle to Stage" by Virginia Hanlon Grohl and Dave Grohl in which she described her amazing survival story during the Holocaust. Mary was a good friend of Dave Grohl 's mother. Mary Mania (Malka) Rubinstein was born in 1925 in Warsaw and grew up in Wierzbnik, a Jewish town that was part of Starachowice, Poland. During the Holocaust, she was forced to work in the Starachowice labor camp where she manufactured ammunition for the German extermination machine. She was later transferred to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where she met and fell in love with her husband Morris Weinrib. The two separated during the Holocaust but in 1945 with the victory over Germany Mary was liberated from Bergen-Belsen and reunited with Morris in 1946, the two then married and emigrated to Canada. After the sudden death of her husband Morris in 1965, Mary was left with three young children including Gadi Lee who was then only 12 years old. He recited Kaddish in memory of his father for a whole year and kept the mourning Jewish customs. One of the band's songs "Red Sector A" was written by Rush's drummer, Neil Peart, inspired by the survival story of Mary and her husband Morris. Beyond raising the children, the death of her husband Morris forced Mary to enter the family business and run the convenience store that her husband had run until then. Preparing family meals on Rosh Hashanah and Pesach was one of her loves. After working in the store, Mary would cook and bake at night, preparing everyone’s favorite dishes and desserts in honor of the holiday. Mary was also an avid supporter of Rush and came to shows regularly. When the band's first album came out, Mary filled the windows of the family store she ran on the album's posters and distributed albums to children who wanted them, but had no money to buy them. Two months before her death, on May 10, 2021, on "Mother's Day", Geddy posted the following words on his Instagram account: " Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful mom, Mary! Pushing 96 and still rockin' out! And she just got vaccinated too! May she be around for many more!" In the 6th episode of the series "From Cradle to Stage" which aired on June 10, 2021, Dave Grohl said about her and Geddy: " ... It was funny for me to sit with Geddy and his Mom because ... he changed my life. Rush really changed my life... As we were sitting with Geddy and his Mom, I was thinking ... if it weren't for her I might not be a drummer ..." About a year after her death, it was reported that the website's facial recognition software "From Numbers to Names" was able to find a picture of her from her time in the "Bergen-Belsen" camp, which led Geddy Lee to find more pictures of his mother's extended family in the "Yad Vashem" photo collection.

On June 26, 1964, The Beatles' third album, "A Hard Day's Night", was released in the United States (and two weeks later in England). Almost at the same time, a film of the same name was also released, starring the Fabulous Four. The name of the album (and the film) came from a remark that Ringo Starr accidentally said to the director of the film. This is the Beatles' first album in which they wrote all the songs themselves, without any cover versions. The album featured 13 original tracks (with differences between the British and American versions) including the theme song " A Hard Day's Night ", which opens up with the famous chord of George Harrison 's 12-string guitar, " I Should Have Known Better ", " I'll Be Back ", " And I Love Her ", " Can't Buy Me Love ", " Things We Said Today ", " You Can't Do That " and more. The album and film were released at the height of "Beatlemania" and are intended to create a classic image of a famous and successful rock band "The Beatles", with the film showing what a typical day in the life of the fabulous four looks like, with the band members starring as themselves. The aura presented by the film around the members of "The Beatles" made many young people want to be like them and led to the growth of many rock bands on both sides of the ocean. Active bands were also greatly influenced by the album and the film, for example, "The Byrds", which until that time was a folk band and changed its style towards rock and roll to resemble the Fab Four. The album also opened the door to the US, for other British bands such as "The Rolling Stones", "The Kinks" and "The Animals", who owe their success in the US to "The Beatles". On the day of the film's premiered, "The Beatles" flew from London to their hometown of Liverpool, to be greeted at the airport by a huge crowd of about 3,000 fans who screamed and shouted,. The screening itself was attended by about 200,000 fans who were very proud of the fact that "The Beatles" that came from their hometown managed to create a revolution all over the world. At the end of the film premiere, "The Beatles" members were taken to a balcony that overlooked the fans who flocked outside the venue, While the fab four were on the porch waving goodbye to their fans, the gang's bad boy, John Lennon waved his hand as if it was a Nazi salute. Luckily the unusual event did not create harsh criticism. Remember John Lennon got more entangled in his remark that "The Beatles" are more famous than Christ.
