It is not easy to achieve a world record, nor is there any guarantee that the attempt will be successful. Despite this, some of our beloved Rock bands broke World Records, did not allow this to limit them. Keep going for the list below:
Paramore
Paramore were hard at work promoting their latest album at the time but they take the opportunity to have fun while they do it. The band released the video for their single “Ain’t It Fun” in which they set out to break the most world records in a music video. The band did it, breaking a total of ten records ranging from running backward with stuffed animals in their hands, to the most car laps in 20 seconds. See the funny video below, it shows that when recording it they had a ridiculously good time:
Metallica
One of the most famous metal rock bands in the world, Metallica, managed to get their names into the Guinness Book of Records with their tireless work on all seven continents. The group managed to enter this exclusive list, with its visit to the seven continents in a period of one year, a feat never achieved before.The band, which even managed to play in frigid Antarctica, referred to the appointment with a statement in which they thanked their fans for their support.
KISS
KISS delivered an oversized version of their End of the Road show during Atlantis’ Kiss 2020 Goodbye live pay-per-view concert in Dubai. The 22-song set was virtually identical to what the band played before the COVID-19 pandemic forced them off the road earlier this year. But the stage was much bigger. During the pre-show promotional film, it was revealed that Kiss has two identical stages from End of the Road, and put together to create the largest stage they had ever played on. KISS started in 2021 obtaining two Guinness records thanks to the New Year’s Eve concert they offered in paid streaming from Dubai. A performance was held in a spectacular setting: Atlantis (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai) and in which they had promised the greatest fireworks display in its history.
