David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth, Crowbar and plenty more kick off the 2026 tour announcements. See who's playing where.

The hair metal era exploded in a big way while some classic rock and thrash favorites were still going strong in 1986.

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

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.

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?

Bickering musicians, fan-boy moments, previously unknown secrets .... they're all some of the instances that Howard Stern have given us radio gold.

These rock and metal singers left the bands they were in and then came back years later for another round (or multiple).

No wallflowers in this bunch.

Rock history 101.
