On the 27th episode of “The Album Review Crew” of the “Shout It Out Loudcast”, FOZZY frontman and wrestling superstar Chris Jericho joined hosts Tom, Zeus and Sonny to review the second album from SKID ROW, 1991’s “Slave To The Grind”. You can now listen to the discussion below. Speaking about SKID ROW‘s untimely 1996 split with singer Sebastian Bach, Jericho said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Had there not been a complete sea change and shift in musical styles, and had Sebastian and the guys not completely broken up forever, they could have been a GUNS N’ ROSES level, a JUDAS PRIEST level. Not an IRON MAIDEN level — not a GUNS N’ ROSES either — but they could have been that second tier of main-event-level bands. Be...

Crosby, Stills and Nash Put Differences Aside to Support Neil Young in Spotify Spat
In solidarity with bandmate Neil Young in his battle with Spotify, David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Stephen Stills (you know, CSN) are removing their discographies from Spotify. Although CSN has a lengthy history of disagreements, they have chosen to put them aside in support of on-again, off-again bandmate Young’s protest of Spotify’s practices.

Nash has already begun removing his solo music from the platform, with Crosby’s and Stills’ solo projects soon to follow. Recordings from CSNY and CSN will also be removed shortly.
