''Slave to the Grind'' is Skid Row's second album, released on June 11, 1991. ''Slave to the Grind'' is notable for being the first heavy metal album to debut at #1 on the ''Billboard'' 200 during the SoundScan era. ==Overview== Two different versions were released: the original version, and the "clean" (censored) version. The clean version replaced the song "Get the Fuck Out" with the less-offensive "Beggar's Day". ''Slave to the Grind'' marked the band's move towards a heavier sound. The lyrics were more complex, criticizing modern ways of life, authority, politics, drugs, and organized religion, among other topics. Sebastian Bach's father painted the cover art, which is actually a long mural, continued inside the album's booklet. It is set in the medieval era (inspired by Caravaggio's Burial of St. Lucy (1608)), yet has people using modern technological gadgets. John F. Kennedy is in the crowd. It was voted Album of the Year in the 1991 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Awards.〔Metal Edge, May 1992〕 Music videos were produced for the five singles "Monkey Business", "Slave to the Grind", "Wasted Time", "In a Darkened Room" and "Quicksand Jesus" all of which feature on the video album ''No Frills Video''. A music video was also made for Psycho Love in 3D which featured on the video album ''Road Kill''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slave to the Grind」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
