Re: All-Time Metal Sludge Fav TOAD THE WET SPROCKET Tour Begins 7/17!

If they were coming closer to Columbus, OH I would go but I’m not going out town. Saw them at “The LC” (don’t even know what it’s called now) Pavilion many years ago.

Re: Toad the Wet Sprocket

They have pretty much a full setlist worth of '90s alternative rock hits, a few that crossed over the mainstream rock and pop. I saw them kin a concert in the mid '00s with Big Head Todd and someone else. Also think I saw their lead singer doing a solo slot opening for someone around 2010.

Probably. From what I recall, their buzz had cooled off a little bit when that self-titled album came out.

There are tons of alt rock guitar heroes who write most of the songs, play a few other instruments on record, and are also the singer and frontman. Thurston Moore, Chris Cornell, and I would even say Kurt Cobain were all very good guitarists and songwriters. I’ll bet they aren’t on these lists eith...

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by a few of the interviews and clips I’ve seen of Corgan on YouTube recently, I mean personality-wise. Of course, part of its because of them was with Bill Maher and Corgan was just much more likable in comparison. I think the other one was with Rick Beato.

Re: Streaming ruined the Billboard singles charts. It's all pointless now.

In the mid-'90s to early '00s (for the most part), the singles charts NEVER reflected the reality of the most popular current songs as far as what was most played on the radio and TV and listened to by the masses. Because there is always some peculiar aspect(s) to the chart methodology. Remember whe...
