Rockin’ September Birthdays: La’S Favorite Rock Stars Turning Up The Heat!

September Vibes: Rock Stars Lighting Up the Birthday Scene

Hey there, LA fam! September’s here, and while we’re swapping out our Venice Beach tanks for some cozy flannels, the rock world is heating up with birthday celebrations. It’s that sweet spot where summer lingers, autumn creeps in, and live music still rocks outdoor venues like the Hollywood Bowl.

If you’re blowing out candles this month, you might just share your special day with some serious rock royalty. We’re talking legends who’ve shredded stages from the Sunset Strip to Coachella, and they’re all adding another year of epic to their legacy. Let’s dive into who’s popping champagne (or maybe something stronger) this September!

Heavy Hitters and Hollywood Icons

First up, we’ve got the queen of rock herself, Joan Jett, who’s been a badass since her Runaways days in the heart of Hollywood. Then there’s Slipknot’s Shawn Crahan, hiding behind that iconic mask but still aging like fine wine somewhere in the 818. And let’s not forget metal’s ultimate warrior - Dave Mustaine of Megadeth - who’s marking another year of riffing insanity while teasing a farewell album and tour.

Guitar god Joe Perry from Aerosmith and Mastodon’s Troy Sanders are also on the September birthday list, bringing their A-game to the SoCal scene. And can we talk icons? Bruce Springsteen, David Coverdale, and Chrissie Hynde are all blowing out candles, alongside other heavyweights like Les Claypool, Brad Wilk, Brad Arnold, Stephen Perkins, Avril Lavigne, Danny Worsnop, Mikey Way, William DuVall, and Kim Thayil. The list is straight fire!

“September’s always been a month of renewal for me - new tunes, new tours, and a whole lot of birthday cake!” - Dave Mustaine, reflecting on another year of metal domination.

Heavenly Birthdays and Shared Dates

We’re also sending love to the rock gods celebrating heavenly birthdays this month. Legends like Freddie Mercury, Meat Loaf, and Neil Peart may be gone, but their music still echoes through every dive bar and arena from DTLA to San Diego. Their September birthdays remind us why they’re forever etched in the Walk of Fame of our hearts.

So, if September’s your month, chances are you’re sharing a birthday with a rock star who’s played a role in shaping the sound of LA nights. Curious who?
