KISS released 'Rock and Roll Over' on Nov. 11, 1976.

One of the bigger missteps of their career.

On Sept. 7, 1988, Metallica released '...And Justice For All,' their first album without Cliff Burton.

How would Metallica follow up 'Kill 'Em All'? On July 27, 1984, we got 'Ride the Lightning.'

Skid Row's devastatingly heavy second album came out on June 11, 1991.

Their follow-up to 'The Black Album.'

Then we wound up with two amazing thrash bands.

Get the history behind these two tragedies.

It wasn't an April Fool's joke.

Their 14th album.
