The Worst of the Best Podcast

In this lively episode of The Worst of the Best Podcast, hosts Ryan and Ruban, fellow Canadians with a passion for '80s and '90s metal, dive deep into Skid Row's iconic era with frontman Sebastian Bach. They celebrate the band's self-titled 1989 debut and the heavier sophomore album Slave to the Grind (1991) as their top-selling masterpieces, sharing personal anecdotes like Ruban sharing a mic with Bach at a packed Surrey club show and Ryan witnessing Skid Row open for Guns N' Roses in Tacoma during the Use Your Illusion tour. The duo laments the band's refusal to reunite with Bach despite his Broadway success, Gilmore Girls fame, and solo prowess, while dissecting tracks for standout riffs, vocal chills, and the "worst" picks—those hokey misfires amid flawless rock anthems—urging fans to pressure for a long-overdue reconciliation.
