Episode 194 – Top Eight Concerts

August 4, 2020 / skipandjosh / 1 Comment

admitone There’s nothing like a great rock concert: the bright lights, the anticipation as the show is about to start, the roar of the crowd as the artist takes the stage, that first note as the show begins and then the fans singing along to every lyric. The guys countdown the top eight concerts (that they’ve attended).

Some pictures of the old ticket stubs discussed in this episode are here.

Music in this episode: “Rumble” from Bensound and “Brit Pop” from Scott Holmes Music.

Tribute to Chris Cornell

May 18, 2017May 18, 2017 / skipandjosh / Leave a comment

When people think of the grunge music of the 90’s its usually Pearl Jam and Nirvana that come to mind, however the influence of Soundgarden and their front man Chris Cornell should not be overlooked. Soundgarden had an indescribable sound, part punk, part classic rock, with a lead vocalist who’s voice and presence were one of a kind.
Here are some of our favorite Chris Cornell songs: Spoonman (Soundgarden), Hunger Strike (Temple of the Dog) and a solo version of Nothing Compares 2U.
