Greg Tribbett Was Born in Peoria on November 7, 1968

Greg Tribbett was born in Peoria, Illinois, on November 7, 1968. By the time Mudvayne made The New Game in 2008, he had a pretty good idea what listeners thought of him. “I know some people think that I can’t play solos, only rhythms!” he told Guitar World. He’d asked his bandmates about putting more leads on the record. On “Do What You Do,” he stepped on a wah for his solo. It was the only effects pedal he used on the album.

Popular Chicago chain known for its hot dogs set to close locations

The Chicago-based fast-casual chain, known for its hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches, has 109 locations nationwide Getty/iStock To be frank, fans of a popular Chicago -style hot dog chain may not relish this news. Portillo’s plans to close a “mid-to-high single-digit number” of underperforming restaurants outside the Chicago area, mostly by the end of the year, CEO Brett Patterson announced Thursday.
