Brendon Snyder – This is a review for the brand new Skid Row album Live In London. Record in 2023, it’s the band’s first full length live album from their 38 year career! Join me as I break it all down doing an in depth review.
Alright, let’s take a ride through the top 5 Skid Row songs!
1. “18 and Life”
Ah, teenage rebellion at its finest! This song is about Ricky, a guy who thought firing a gun was as harmless as firing off a witty comeback. Spoiler: it wasn’t. With its dramatic tale of mischief gone wrong, it’s basically the ‘80s hard rock version of every “Hold my beer” story you’ve ever heard, but with fewer mullets (barely).
2. “I Remember You”
This is Skid Row’s love ballad, so sappy it could glue your broken heart back together. Sebastian Bach belts out feelings so deep that even your ex might text you at 3 a.m. just to say, “I remember you too.” It’s a love song that’s basically the musical equivalent of sending 100 emoji hearts in a row.
3. “Youth Gone Wild”
This anthem is what happens when you mix teenage angst, loud guitars, and hair spray by the gallon. It’s like they took the energy of a sugar-fueled 5-year-old and slapped it onto the rebellious soul of a 1989 teenager. If you weren’t already wild, this song was an invitation to buy leather pants and misbehave immediately.
4. “Monkey Business”
No, it’s not about your annoying coworker. “Monkey Business” is Skid Row’s rock ‘n’ roll jungle where things get a little weird and wild. With riffs heavier than your morning regrets after Taco Tuesday, it’s a song that’ll make you want to swing from the ceiling fan—though not advised without proper safety gear.
5. “Slave to the Grind”
This song is like your Monday morning alarm, but with killer guitar solos and less snooze-button smashing. It’s the anthem for anyone who feels like life has them running on a hamster wheel made of iron chains and paperwork. Heavy, fast, and with more attitude than a teenager denied concert tickets, this track could make even the most laid-back person throw down some air punches.
Let’s face it—Skid Row’s top tracks are a blend of teenage chaos, love gone wrong, and riffs sharp enough to shred your soul (and maybe your hair). Enjoy responsibly!
