One of the most popular and immensely successful rock bands, Megadeth has won many fans over the years. This heavy metal band partnered with Leander Games in 2012 to create this game for their fans. This online slot game has 40 paylines and 5 reels. It also has several bonus features, but a low maximum win of 500x the stake. 

Players would soon realize that the focus is less on ways to make money in this game. It focuses more on gameplay. Four original members of the Megadeth band are featured on the reels. The symbol for activating free spins is of Vic Rattlehead. The symbol for wild is of Dave Mustaine, the frontman of the band.

2. Guns N’ Roses

This online slot game was launched in 2017, a few months after the 30th anniversary of Guns N’ Roses. Of course, this famous rock band’s name gave the game immense popularity, but there were other reasons as well. It was released by NetEnt and is a beautiful game with top-quality graphics.

3. Motorhead

This is yet another exciting online slot game by NetEnt based on a popular heavy metal band. Lemmy Kilmister, the founder of Motorhead, had a love for casino games.

You probably know how most of the rock musicians are. Almost all of them look weird and also do some of the weirdest things. This is often rooted in the very nature of rock and its sub-genres. All the bands are mostly of a rebellious nature. They do not conform to the conventional rules laid down by the society. If you go back to the origins of rock music, you’ll see that it started in a big way in the 1960s. 

This was the time when people, especially the younger generation, had started questioning the social rules and dogmas. Rock music became the symbol of rebelliousness and non-conformity. So, by now, you might’ve got a little background about rock music and rock stars. Now, let’s look at some of the weirdest things that the rock musicians have done:

1. Decapitating a bat? 

Ozzy Osbourne is one of the most popular stars from the world of rock music. He is known for his crazy behavior, both in public and private. This ultimate ‘madman’ lived the kind of life that would’ve killed the strongest of men. 

Scientists who got his blood tested discovered that decades of drug and alcohol intake had altered his DNA. They couldn’t believe that he lived this long with all the substance abuse. Once he bit off the head of a bat while performing on stage. He had no idea that the bat was real!  

2. That sneaky act

The British actress Cleo Rocos mentioned something really unbelievable in her memoir. Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the rock band ‘Queen’, had once dressed Princess Diana in drag. He, with the help of Cleo, sneaked the princess into Royal Vauxhall Tavern, London’s iconic gay bar. 

To make the princess unrecognizable, they made her wear an army jacket, a leather cap, and dark aviator sunglasses. Then, after enjoying a couple of drinks and having some fun, Princess Diana was dropped back home. No one at the palace ever knew about this.

3. Save me from The Predator!

Remember Slash, the lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses? Well, he’s been alright ever since he moved away from his drug abuse. However, there was a time when he used to buy lots of heroin and cocaine using his advance paycheck. Back in the early 1990s, he did something really weird while he was high on drugs. 

He was convinced that a monster was chasing him with weapons. According to him, the monster looked like the alien from the movie, The Predator. He ran completely naked through a golf resort in Arizona. He even smashed a glass door and used a maid as shield before hiding behind a lawnmower!

4. An anti-aging act?

All members of ‘The Rolling Stones’ have some crazy stories to tell, which involve drugs and groupies. Among all such stories, nothing can beat what Keith Richards did. It became one of the most insane stories in the history of Rock ‘N’ Roll. He is the co-founder, guitarist, songwriter, and secondary vocalist of the band. 

He had once admitted that he snorted and smoked his own father’s ashes! Now, people really wonder whether it was his formula for anti-aging. No one’s quite sure about it, but we all know that he’s still alive and kicking.

The careers of many talented young musicians were launched by Ozzy Osbourne in the 1980s. Among them was Randy Rhoads, Osbourne’s classically-trained guitarist. Unfortunately, his musical journey was short-lived owing to his untimely death in a plane crash in 1982. After this incident, several guitarists played for Ozzy Osbourne in succession. 

One of them was Brad Gillis who became immensely successful later on with the band Nigh Ranger. Among the others were Jake E. Lee and Zakk Wylde. Both of them achieved significant successes in their careers as guitarists. The drummers of Osbourne also had great successes after their short stint with him.

Although drummers are less discussed when talking about the successes of heavy metal bands, they never go unnoticed. There were some seasoned drummers who played for Osbourne, such as Tommy Aldridge and Carmine Appice. However, the band’s percussive presence grew stronger when Randy Castillo became their drummer. 

He died at the age of 51, after succumbing to his cancer in 2002. Later, he became the subject of a documentary titled The Life, Blood, and Rhythm of Randy Castillo. It was directed by Wynn Ponder, a filmmaker based in the state of Kansas in the United States of America.

Life of Randy Castillo

The film follows the journey of Castillo from his early days, which were spent in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It then talks about Castillo’s time with an array of club bands and his move to Los Angeles. This was the city that took him to the world stage. The timing was also perfect, as it happened when rock music was at its zenith of glory. 

Also shown in this documentary are the testimonials from bandmates, such as Mike Inez and Phil Soussan. It also includes testimonials from close friends, such as Slash, Lita Ford, and many others. Lita Ford has also provided narration in the documentary.

It is through all these testimonials that one learns more about how Castillo was, as an individual. The viewers are reminded of the fact that he was a rarity in the world of rock music. Randy Castillo was a gifted musician who maintained his calm during difficult situations. It is worth noting that his time was incredibly short in the spotlight. 

Dancin’ on the Edge was his first major album and his last LP was New Tattoo with Motley Crue. Between these two albums, he gave some memorable performances as a band member of Ozzy Osbourne. He made significant contributions to their 1991 album No More Tears, which was a huge success commercially.

The transition

His bass drumming was top-notch and contributed immensely to his reputation as a consummate showman. What was not highlighted so much was his transition into the band, Motley Crue. It went into a decline commercially towards the end of the 20th century. 

Despite this, the drummer’s spot in the band was a coveted one. It was held by the band’s co-founder, Tommy Lee, until 1999. It was no small feat for Randy Castillo to grab the spot and fill in so aptly. The only disappointment was that it was such a short-lived stint.

Final days

He was diagnosed with cancer when Motley Crue was preparing for a new tour in 2000. His plans to get to the stages across the world were put on hold. He persevered even though the treatment for his cancer had nearly killed him. Eventually, he was declared cancer free. 

This turned out to be a short-lived victory as cancer returned. He had to undergo the round of treatments once again, but this time he didn’t survive. Even after so many years since his death, Castillo’s legacy has remained strong.
