Slave to the Grind

You pick up Nazareth's Hair of the Dog.

You pick up Skid Row's Slave to the Grind.

You pick up some of those albums.

The band Green Jelly always had incredible album covers.

Little Wing, Breaking Down, Battle with the Bottle, 18 and Life, Rock and Roll is a Vicious Game, I Remember You, The Threat, Big Guns, Sweet Little Sister, Piece of Me, American Metalhead, Rattlesnake Shake, Monkey Business, and then close the show with Youth Gone Wild.

Song breakdown! Seven off of the self-titled debut, two from Slave to the Grind, one from Beside Ourselves, one from Subhuman Race, one from Angel Down, one from Kicking and Screaming, the Japanese version of that album, and then one from Give Em Hell.

So 14-song setlist, Three mellow songs to lead off the show.

Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you are

And this was 10 years later.

But I've heard that his father painted that album cover.

as I think he did the Slave to the Grind album cover, so I get it.

Some sentimental reasons for still using it.

I mean, you just mentioned Skid Row, 18 and Life.

I mean, they went straight into, uh, Slave to the Grind.

Right.

I mean, that's, I mean, talk about the, you know, I mean, Atlantic didn't, didn't like that much that they came out with this real heavy album after they had this poppy-

opening

chords of Monkey Business and recognize you needed Slave to the Grind.

See, I don't know anybody needed Slave to the Grind.

Oh, you did.

I don't think so.

I mean, having Sebastian Bach on was a huge moment for me.

Uh, Skid Row, Slave to the Grind was the first CD I ever bought, the first compact disc I ever bought.

Not the first album I ever bought, but the first CD I ever bought.

And, like, that holds a huge place in my life.

Mm-hmm.

And I always had a soft spot in my heart for Skid Row 'cause they were super heavy on, like "Slave to the Grind." I was like, "Why is...

Why do, you know, elitist metalheads thumb their nose up at this?" Well, it was because they were successful.

They were-

Washington giving up the second most points per game to wideouts.

So my wasted time choice would have been Skid Row on Slave to the Grind.

That's a good one.

Nicely done.
