DJ Fred Rock N’ Roll Factoids For August 25th [VIDEOS]

Hey, this doesn't happen to you?

It was on this date in 1965 that a couple of girls in Beverly Hills came up with the idea of renting a helicopter to fly over where the Beatles were staying and then jumping out of it and into the pool of the hotel. No word on whether or not John, Paul, George and Ringo say the event happen, but talk about a gift from above.

After spending two years holed up in his room eating LSD and staring at the wall, Brian Wilson decided to join the rest of the Beach Boys for the remainder of the Heroes And Villains Tour on this date in 1965.

In 1970 Elton John played in the United States for the very first time on this date in 1970 when the played Troubadour in Los Angeles. The Border Song had just entered the charts here.Sir Elton John is the I-95 Artist of the Day today!

In 1973, one of the coolest songs ever hit #1 on the pop charts, it was Brother Louie by the Stories.  Cool s**t.

Long after the break up of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant recorded a version of MTV'S Unplugged in London on this date in 1994.

And speaking of Zeppelin, on this date in 2014, listeners of BBC Radio 2 voted the guitar lick in Whole Lotta Love the "greatest guitar riff of all time."  It was followed up by Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N' Roses, Back in Black by AC/DC and Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.

Born on this date in 1949, Gene Simmons, the bass player  from Kiss with the longest tongue on stage.  Gene knows that he can't sing very well, but he doesn't give a f**k, he's rich.
