🎼17 April 1964. Happy Birthday🥳🍾 to Maynard James Keenan, a huge vegetables grower and marketer and winemaker from Arizona, USA ! His granparents were winemakers from North Italy, and he was born James Herbert Keenan in a small town in Ohio called Ravenna 😃
Ah, he is also the founder and leader of progressive post alternative industrial art rock metal (call it whatever they are fantastic anyway) bands such as Tool, Puscifer, A Perfect Circle.
He has been recently hit twice by Covid-19, severely suffering from pneumonia... therefore in the Chat Room👇I chose a fantastic suite from the last Tool album for my best wishes to Maynard🎂: it's called Pneuma, a term which has to do not only with breath, but with soul, spiritual life and recover instead 👍
And of course if you have any favorite song from Maynard... please post them 😃

Black Sabbath
📀 Headless Cross
#HeavyMetal

35 years ago Black Sabbath from Birmingham, England, #UK released their 14th studio album.

Headless Cross is generally considered the best #BlackSabbath album of the "Tony Martin era" (so addressed after the vocalist). In my opinion this is also one of the best 1980s Heavy Metal and today my cassette plays loud in #VeniceRocksRoom☝️

Superb album🤘❤️‍🔥

In this album:
#TonyMartin – vocals
#TonyIommi – guitars, production
#GeoffNicholls − keyboards
#CozyPowell – drums, production
#LaurenceCottle – bass

Additional musicians
#BrianMay – first guitar solo on "When Death Calls"
