ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Two GenX guys go down concert memory lane, the legendary shows, the epic letdowns, and the bands that defined a generation.
Jason relives seeing Guns N' Roses in 1992 at the absolute height of their fame, with Metallica as the opening act and Faith No More, right after the infamous Montreal riot. Barry recounts the underwhelming "karaoke" Sex Pistols reunion (surviving members, a fill-in singer, they left early), the electric energy of The Offspring playing Ixnay on the Hombre front to back, and an unforgettable R.E.M. show with Michael Stipe as the ultimate showman.
Plus Bon Jovi in the snow, Mötley Crüe, Madonna, Bad Religion, and the great R.E.M. debate: Jason has never liked them, and Barry is determined to change that.
The shows we'll never forget, and a couple we'd like to.
What's the best concert you ever saw?
Brainwaves with Jason and Barry. Two guys figuring out midlife one pointless debate at a time. New episodes weekly.
