But they all found it ultimately unsettling due to strange noises in the night, and even ghostly apparitions. Jimmy Page and Steve Hackett help Randy Renaud tell the chilling tale of Headley Grange for the Chronicles of Rock.

The Haunted House Where Bands Like Genesis and Led Zeppelin Went to Rehearse

CHOM's original studios were at 1355 Greene Avenue in an old manour home that CHOM staff was convinced was haunted. Eerie sounds were heard at night, a large mirror at the top of the stairs kept cracking, and a spectral presence was spotted by many employees. Staff refused to work overnight, and it got so bad that an emergency seance was held. For Halloween, Randy revisits the chilling tale of the CHOM Ghost -- the original "spirit" of rock.

In late October, 1993, Pearl Jam were featured on the covers of both Time Magazine and Rolling Stone, proclaiming them as the vanguard of a new youth movement and new generation of rock bands. They had just released their second album, Vs., which became one of the fastest albums in history, and helped to establish Pearl Jam as one of the biggest bands in the world. Randy Renaud takes you back to that time in the career of Pearl Jam on the Chronicles of Rock.

In mid-October, 1985, a great new rock band from the north of England blazed onto the scene featuring a lead singer who'd been raised in Hamilton, Ontario. Marrying elements of 60's psychedelic rock, 70's hard rock, and 80's post-punk rock, The Cult crafted an album that served notice that heavy guitar rock was still alive and well in the era of synthesizers. Randy Renaud revisits the story behind Love by the Cult on the Chronicles of Rock.
