Now, The Ramones may seem a simple band to cover, but their songs can be fucked up, as Metallica proved with their dire covers of “Commando”. Bach sung onstage with Rob Halford on the surprisingly weighty cover of Judas Priest’s “Delivering the Goods”, and since it’s too good an opportunity to pass up a cliché, them goods got delivered.īass player Rachel Bolan’s punk credentials were often on show in Skid Row’s early attitude, so it’s a fair guess that he picked The Ramones’ “Psycho Therapy”.

No matter, you can actually match the songs to be band members. Singer Sebastian Bach reckoned each band member picked their own song for this EP, but since four out of the five track were previously released as b-sides, he might well have been talking bullshit.

Next came this tasty little covers EP “B-Side Ourselves”, which further showed off the band’s musical versatility. While second album Slave to the Grind had the obligatory weepy ballads, it also showed more than a passing acquaintance with punk ("Get the Fuck Out") and thrash (the title track). As a big Skid Row fan, definitely buy this for the music (if you find it at an old second hand shop) but don't expect any fascinating insights on the band.Skid Row proved glam metal could be tough and edgy without becoming a self-parody, like Motley Crüe. Beside the music the best things to recommend about this video are Seb's rant at Wemberley Stadium, the sight of Rob Halford dressed up like Kurt Cobain, a drunk Lars Ulrich failing to play the drum solo in One, Phil Anselmo's frat falls, cover songs - C'Mon and love me, delivering the goods, cold gin (which actually are the best songs on the whole tape) and the mad Brazilian fan. I'm sure all the bands nowadays still do the exact type of thing, only they pretend they are above all that. As well as this there is the usual backstage footage of the band goofing around, which as one of the last hair bands is kind of a prerequisite. Other between songs footage includes 2 very boring mini movies made by Rachel Bolan- Faceless people and another day. The least interesting 5 minutes of the band ordering food from various places on the road and smoking drugs in Amsterdam. The best being seeing the sights in Brazil from a hand-glider. I'm guessing this may be one of the first band videos to use camcorders for such a long time but as with all watching of other people's home movies, it gets very boring quickly. In between songs are camcorder footage of the band acting like stereotypical American tourists, which ranges from incredibly boring to mildly amusing.

Skid Row, especially Seb Bach were a very good live band and the video certainly projects that but to get full enjoyment of it I guess you had to be at one of the concerts. No matter how entertaining a band are on stage, at the end of the day it's just a bunch of guys or girls running around.
#SKIDROW BAND TV#
However I have always found watching live bands on TV nowhere near as much fun as listening to a live CD (where you can imagine whats going on in your head or do something else whilst listening)or even better actually being there. As a Skid Row fan (obviously) I think most of the songs still hold up and I found myself singing or humming along on a number of occasions. After finding it hidden behind a load of other ancient videos in my bedroom I chucked it in the video player, ready for 2 hours of live concert metal. I was inspired to watch the video after rediscovering it whilst trawling around IMDb.
