@@drServitis yes that's correct and I'll still take it because I was able to experience those times, I'm glad I grew up back then something this generation will never know 😁
80's were absolutely a blast, 90's too. What i remember of the 70s wss just as cool, i was a little young to get into much...everything is sooo much different.
Monkey Business, Wasted Time, Quicksand Jesus, In a Darkened Room, Remember Yesterday, Slave to the Grind, The Threat... Take your pick. Sebastian Bach in his prime has one of the most influential and amazing Hard Rock voices ever!
And so much variety. It was a time when Motley Crue, Madonna, Run DMC, Duran Duran, Journey, Michael Jackson, Prince, Expose and Tears for Fears could all be on Billboard at the same time. Today's pop music all sounds the same, generic and totally disposable.
Yes yes yes. This song in concert was amazing. An entire stadium full of people singing at the top of their lungs and fist pounding the air. So much fun. You’re also right that this was just a fun time to be alive, especially as a teenager. Those were the days, man. So happy to see more Skid Row here! You know I’m always here for that.
Laughed when you mentioned the leather jacket Lex. I was 16, Skid Row were the first metal band I really got into and I grew my hair out, bought a leather biker jacket with tasseled sleeves and spent hours sowing a Skid Row back patch onto it. Thought I looked the bomb. Loved that jacket! Good times!
If you’re listening to songs from the 80s and 90s you really should watch the videos. Videos were a huge part of how they represented themselves and the nature of the song back then. I know some videos get blurred but it’s worth it to try. Most of the songs I’ve seen the videos air without too much difficulty on other reaction sites.
Most of the songs they listen to I’ve seen on other reaction channels with a Video but I understand it’s probably more of a chance that it’ll have copyright issues.
@@davidsuttles101 That's a bummer. His voice is different in a bunch of songs. I love it. But he doesn't sing lead in all of them anyway and those are good too.
@@davidsuttles101 Kind of like we can't stand you whining. About one of the Greatest Vocalist of all time? Go smoke another bowl. While listening to more Nirvana garbage. You're in the wrong genre. This is Hard Rock/Metal. You want the can't sing, mumble, and suicidal genre.
You nailed that on the head. The 80s were a great time to be alive. Good, dirty, fun!! That's how I remember it. I was 13 in 1980. The 80s were a blast.
Wow, Skid Row! What an incredible band. I saw them open for both Bon Jovi (New Jersey tour) and Guns N Roses (Use Your Illusion tour). It's the only time I've ever seen the opening band be just as good and entertaining as the headliner. They saved the day in Dallas when GNR were about 2 hours late. They came back on and did a second set so we wouldn't tear the place up. It was the first show after the GNR riot in St. Louis, and we almost had another one.
Gee... another bad story about G & R??!! How shocking 🤣. I saw them with Metallica in Denver and Axl threw one of his trademark temper tantrums and left the stage early, show over. I was really excited to see them for the first time and now I hate that POS!
The thing about the 80's is I think we had reached a level of technology that made our lives not just easier, but also fun, without being as intrusive and destructive as it later became.
‘80s were a fun time to be alive! Looking forward to seeing Sebastian Bach at end of November performing Slave to the Grind. Love both SttG and self titled album. Dig the reaction.
IT WAS NICKY SIXX THE BASS PLAYER FROM MOTLEY CRUE AFTER OZZY OSBORNE PULLED DOWN HIS PANTS AND DID A SHIT ON THE HOTEL ROOM FLOOR, THEN TOMMY LEE THE DRUMMER FROM MOTLEY CRUE NEARLY THREW UP SEEING THAT, AND THEN NIKKY SIXX WENT OUTSIDE TO SNORT ANTS, BUT I STILL THINK IT WAS COLUMBIAN ANTS!!!!!
Saw Skid Row four times live back in the day. They were awesome. And yes, the 80's were a great time to grow up. I was 10 to 20 through the 80's. We had fun, and could still be a kid. Great music too!!
I have watched these two a lot. I feel that I have figured out the crazy vivid difference between the two. Brad reminds me of a person who is color blind. He can appreciate the structure of the art but a lot of the vivid beauty of music doesn’t connect with him much like a person who cannot see color would look at paintings. I feel this is why lyrics are so important to him. It is the main connection for him. Lexi is the opposite, her mind connects sonically in the brightest way possible which is why she hears singing as another instrument and doesn’t catch the lyrics as much. The one time I felt he actually connected with the sound and was truly moved was listening to the Cranberry’s of all people. This again is like a color blind person. They can see some colors so those colors are truly beautiful to them.
I find that Lex looks like a cross between Halle Berry and Zoe Saldana. That equals beautiful! And her personality is cool, energetic, smart, fun. I love Brad too! He is deep focused, listens to the songs more quietly than Lex but I think that is just cause he is focused. His comments are often really just perfection! Love to both Brad and Lex!
Skid Row were also lumped in the hair band genre, had some power ballads, but they also went pretty hard with songs like Piece of Me, Monkey Business, The Threat, Medicine Jar. I think Lex will really dig those.
For me the defining sound is the Bass and drums. The drums were always driving and heavy but not always fast and the Bass players seemed to be exceptional. Maybe because they were influenced so much by the incredible funk players from the '70s and then mixing it with a heavier edge. The '80s Pop band Bass players are more noticeable for it than the ''80s Rockers who mostly went for the more simplified punk sound from the '70s, But both approaches led to an incredible decade of backline music!
Mid 80'S to early 90's I was in my teens. Best era in musical metal for me. Maiden, Metallica Skid Row, AC/DC, Judas Priest and of course, Guns 'n Roses. the kings.
Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is the one that snorted a line of his father's cremated remains. Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger, I guess. The man has been alive forever.
This is the raising hell anthem song. Hanging out with your best buds, loud rock music, drinking, partying, breaking the law, and getting into fist fights when need be.
You two are fantastic. You should definitely hit some Queensryche. Eyes of a stranger, empire, silent lucidity. You will love. His voice is incredible. The album operation mindcrime is one of my favorites albums. It tells a story all the way through.
“Made drum beats” 😅 it’s called using an actual drummer 😁 but yes, totally agree about wishing people still did that (actual, human soul in music kinda makes a difference)
Your instincts about the 80's is correct. Coming off the 70's, which were tough, Vietnam, economic depression, the 80's were a comeback. And the music reflected the optimism and good times. Of course I'm biased being that those were my teenage years. Which in part is why I call them the Greaties.....
Had the... pleasure? Of chatting with Sebastian a few times. The guy is off his rocker and crazy. Conversations with him are insane. It's like he's always on a speedball. I love it
My favorite part of this song is when they sing: I said "hi man, there's something that you oughta know I'll tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row “. I love when bands use their name in the lyrics of a song especially when the title of the song isn’t even the band’s name!
I would say that Skid Row are like a tier 2 metal band. They were not Motley Crue or Van Halen, but they had a solid front man in Sebastián Bach, and they had not bad songs
@@lisavranesevic5754 Well, this is during the era that metal was pop music. I joke about the current state of hip hop being like 80s hair metal bands. So I will say yes and no. Trust me, I played in a funk rock band during these times.
They have an album called "Slave to the grind" i think you should listen to a few songs from it, it's really good. My personnal favorites from this album are "Livin' on a chain gang" "Monkey Business" "Slave to the grind" "Get the fuck out" "Quicksand Jesus"
That song was awesome in concert. Back then, we were the youth gone wild! Skid Row with Guns N Roses 1990. Great concert. Skid Row has a ton of good songs! Slave To The Grind is AWESOME!
Music in the 80s was amazing. It was so good (to me) that I'd always be wishing I could hear it all again for the 1st time even like only a day or 2 later. It's true to have envy when you know someone else is hearing an amazing song for the 1st time.
Lex: "It's a total leather jacket with dark eyeliner" song. Nailed It! 😉😆🤣 Though, Sebastian Bach is (maybe was) an opera-level singer so that lends some credibility to this band. Plus he appeared on "Trailer Park Boys", and that further endears him to me. 😊 I will say, I am enjoying all the bitter old people (admittedly, my contemporaries) on this channel bitching about how music "used to be good and now it all sucks". There's always a shit-ton of good new music out there, you just have to find it now in the absolute Maelstrom of Media. It's a bummer that they got sucked into the "Standard Life" (marriage, kids, career, and the house with the white picket fence), and subsequently lets their hearts die. 💀☠😛🤔🤨
@brad and lex. You got to do Skid Row- Wasted Time. Video is needed for this song. Sebastians vocals are epic. Its a song about the Steven Adler, the drummer fr GnR. They are friends Sreven had a bad "H" problem. He's sober now
I wouldn't exactly call this a 'happy' song it is about all the homeless youth on the street. Which Dave "The Snake" Sabo (guitar) and Rachel Bolan (bass) both lived on the streets of Jersey for some part of their lives. It is however still an anthem of youthful rebellion.
We definitely had fun in the 80s.
It was really a fun time being a kid back then 🤔
Which means you are now near death at your advanced age. Fun while it lasted, right!
@@drServitis yes that's correct and I'll still take it because I was able to experience those times, I'm glad I grew up back then something this generation will never know 😁
@@frankrizzo4460 Well I was born in '69, so I think I might be even nearer death than you are. In fact the light is already starting to dim, lol!
@@drServitis yeah I got you beat by a few years, still I rather have experienced those times in my younger days. We all gotta go sometime 🤔
"It's a leather jacket song" YES. 🤘😎
I could only afford a jean jacket..😥
LOL'ed at this so hard. Absolutely is such a rebel DGAF song.
@@dizastro5437 I had a jean jacket and got my mom to sew the Slave to the Grind cover in the back. Loved it.
YESSS!!!! Please do Quicksand Jesus next!!
80's were absolutely a blast, 90's too. What i remember of the 70s wss just as cool, i was a little young to get into much...everything is sooo much different.
Born in 1970 great comment spot on
I loved growing up in the 80’s , so much fun . These guys were great live , they still aren’t too bad .
My first concert... Skid Row opening for Bon Jovi. And yes, this was amazing live!
Anthemic rebellion song! Sebastian Bach was soooooo sexy and had such a unique and amazing voice.
Iirc, Ozzy and Nikki Sixx of Crue were trying to out-crazy each other, and that was where the line was drawn.
Try Slaughter's "Up All Night, Sleep All Day" ............ Same vibe.
One of my favorites since the album came in 89 when I was 4 years old
Gen X Anthem 🙌🏼
Sebastian Bach the man the best hair band singer in the 80s
The ants was Ozzy
Monkey Business, Wasted Time, Quicksand Jesus, In a Darkened Room, Remember Yesterday, Slave to the Grind, The Threat... Take your pick. Sebastian Bach in his prime has one of the most influential and amazing Hard Rock voices ever!
Some good lesser known tracks...can't stand the heartache, livin on a chain gang, firesign
remember yesterday?
Let's not forget Psycho Love
@@itstheotherwhitemeat I think "I Remember You" was what was meant.
Indeed
Yes the 80's were great, there will never be another musical era as good ever.... So many bands, so many good times so many good songs.........
Yeap miss the 80s sooooooo much,awesome times👍
And so much variety. It was a time when Motley Crue, Madonna, Run DMC, Duran Duran, Journey, Michael Jackson, Prince, Expose and Tears for Fears could all be on Billboard at the same time. Today's pop music all sounds the same, generic and totally disposable.
Loooots of one hit wonders that are still played today
Born in the 80's raised in the 90's. Its like all originality was lost once we hit the new Millennium
@@rickyism1576 Instead people want to copy other people's work to try and take credit for making it better. Sad sad world we live in
Great track, Slave to the Grind is still my favourite but you can't go wrong with their first 2 records
I reckon Lex is gonna like the first album better.
Yes yes yes. This song in concert was amazing. An entire stadium full of people singing at the top of their lungs and fist pounding the air. So much fun. You’re also right that this was just a fun time to be alive, especially as a teenager. Those were the days, man.
So happy to see more Skid Row here! You know I’m always here for that.
Oh hell yeah now you're on to Sebastian Bach. This dude can straight up sing.
Laughed when you mentioned the leather jacket Lex.

@@alyas77 I’m pretty sure they have mentioned the copyright issue and the reason for just the lyrics
They were one of the very few bands that could stand up with the GNR onslaughtat the time.
Both bands are fantastic!!

I'm 46 years old so this shit was my shit I love all kinds of music
This one’s so great. It’s hard to listen without screaming along!!
The thing about the 80's is I think we had reached a level of technology that made our lives not just easier, but also fun, without being as intrusive and destructive as it later became.
well said
and ur right
I tried to get our high school to make this our graduation theme song… they didn’t 😞 lol
They had tons of energy live! They blew Guns N' Roses off the stage during the Use Your Illusion tour at the Forum in LA.

React to Wasted Time by Skid Row (official video). His voice and the pain he expresses is amazing. Peace!

The 80s was the best time to be a teenager 🤘
Monkey Business is their best song.
You have to check out I Remember You next. By far their best song.
That song was awesome in concert. Back then, we were the youth gone wild! Skid Row with Guns N Roses 1990. Great concert. Skid Row has a ton of good songs! Slave To The Grind is AWESOME!
Do Wasted Time next. Crazy vocals and a cool message.
Great concert!!! Awesome album, listened to it 100's of times. And that was just when it came out in '89
So cool to see the younger crowd getting into 80's metal. There are some live vids of this song on RUclips you can check out. Skid Row rocked!
I was born when this album came out. I can only thank my own father to hear this...to know this band and other rockbands from 80's! More Skidrow !! =)
