Birthdays That Rock The Month Of February

Which rockers are celebrating Birthdays That Rock February?

February only has 28 days, but plenty of candles remain to blow out. Some of you will be celebrating with your favorite rock gods.

One has deep Detroit rock and roll roots. Another rocker had a little trouble showing up on stage on time back in the day but is better now that he is all grown up. One rocker from a power-punk trio is going to be a year older. One rocker is famous for his manhood and proud to show off his sex tape. Indeed, this will be a rocking month in February.

His powerful voice and stage presence helped define the glam metal sound of the 1980s and 1990s

Cliff Burton Feb 10th

Clifford Lee Burton was the bassist for Metallica and is remembered as a legend and master of his craft. His unique style and rock 'n' roll persona set him apart, and his approach to bass playing was unlike anything heard in metal before. Burton's influence extended beyond his virtuosity, as he elevated the role of bassists in a genre traditionally dominated by drums and guitars. Burton died on September 27, 1986. 

Jake E. Lee is best known as lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne between 1982 and 1987 and later as a heavy metal band Badlands member. He formed the band Red Dragon Cartel in 2013

Kurt Cobain Birthday February 20th Kurt Donald Cobain was the founding member of Nirvana, where he played guitar, sang lead vocals, and wrote most of the songs. His unique blend of punk, heavy metal, and alternative rock created a powerful and introspective sound that left a lasting mark on rock music, especially the grunge genre. Cobain's angsty songwriting and anti-establishment persona expanded the thematic boundaries of mainstream rock. 

Brad Whitford is best known for serving as guitarist for the band Aerosmith, for which he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. He has also worked as a songwriter for the group, co-composing well-received tracks such as 1976's "Last Child."
