Ice Bucket Challenge Organizer Praises Rock Community (Top Story)
. Steve Bell - a self-confessed rocker and veteran of both Download and its predecessor Monsters Of Rock - is a director of care with the Motor Neurone Disease Association and was the first person in the UK to film his own ice bucket challenge. And he couldn't have been more proud of the rock community when he saw the likes of Dave Grohl, Duff McKagan, Def Leppard, Kiss and Jason Becker taking part.

As part of their videos, participants would 'call out' friends to record their own ice bucket challenge. Read more - here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. |
