Today in 1994, young rock star Tommy McManus sadly died after an illness. He was just 28. A superb drummer - who once turned down Ozzy Osbourne - whose legacy remains in the great songs he recorded with brothers Pat McManus and John in Mama's Boys. Rest In Peace Tommy.

Fantastic achievement by Dea Matrona - fantastic band with the lot - style, looks, work ethic, innovation, and most importantly, superb musical talent. Well done!

After just four days, fans of rock legends Stryper have raised over $100k to help the band make a feature length documentary on their 35+ years in a business that wasn’t always welcoming to their Christian message.

Happy birthday wishes going out to Def Leppard's brilliant bass player Rick Savage! Born in Sheffield, Yorkshire England, "Sav" is one of the founding members of the band. #DefLeppard #ClassicRock

Robert Sweet’s drumming and brother Michael’s voice on Stryper’s ‘Yahweh’ is immense. The song is a fantastic example of storytelling on an epic scale. Doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not, this is wonderful, passionate artistry. Stryper MichaelSweet Stryper Robert Sweet
