On Aug. 31, 2004, Lamb of God broke through with their third album.

One of the biggest albums ever.

Here's how one of the most successful rock albums ever came together.

On July 21, 1971, Black Sabbath released their 'Master of Reality' album.

A huge commercial success following 'Rust in Peace.'

Their breakthrough album.

The first with Nicko McBrain.

On May 15, 1987, Motley Crue released their 'Girls, Girls, Girls' album.

It'd be the last with Bruce Dickinson for a while.

On April 27, 1979, after various attempts to get Ozzy back on the team, Black Sabbath fired their lead singer.

It wasn't an April Fool's joke.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were sent fleeing from their Buckinghamshire estate due to a fire in 2005.
