Let's be honest, you can't blame Limp Bizkit for everything that happened at Woodstock '99. Even if they didn't perform, chances are the fires and looting were still going to happen on Sunday night.

The guys wrap up their discussion on Lollapalooza by going over where it stands now, as well as covering The Simpsons episode "Homerpalooza".

The guys continue down the path of Lollapalooza, discussing what led to its downfall and eventually comeback.

Perry Farrell had planned Lollapalooza as a goodbye to Jane’s Addiction. It ended up running through 1997, until a brief, 6-year hiatus. It is now a four-day music festival that takes place in Chicago’s Grant Park.

Ritual de lo Habitual is split into two parts, with tracks 1 through 5 being hard rock songs unrelated to each other, and the second part in memoriam of Perry Farrell’s deceased girlfriend Xiola (zie-oh-la) Blue.

Ritual de lo Habitual was the second studio album from Jane’s Addiction and ended up going 2x Platinum in the US. Just one month after its release, the album had sold 500,000 units.

The guys continue discussing Mudhoney as they try to figure out if Mudhoney, in reality, was the only true “grunge” band.

Mudhoney was formed in 1988, with Mark Arm and Steve Turner continuing what they started with Green River. One of the first, or maybe only “true” grunge band.

Shim and Brandon wrap up discussing Green River. They make another Jane's Addiction connection, as well as covering some interesting facts about Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Green River was a band from Seattle that would eventually breakup, but create two of the biggest “grunge” acts of all time. Mudhoney and… Pearl Jam.

We learn that Shim really doesn't like Alice In Chains. He respects them and their talents, but he doesn't like the music. That's okay though, because Brandon LOVES Alice In Chains, so it all balances out.

As the guys wrap up the discussion on Nirvana's Nevermind they talk about the connection to the Beastie Boys and go over the reviews the album received after it was released.

For a lot of people, Nirvana’s Nevermind is THEE album that introduced them to “grunge”. The guys discuss the beginnings of the album and bringing on Dave Grohl.

Soundgarden’s breakthrough album, Badmotorfinger, was released just after Pearl Jam’s Ten, and featured hits like Rusty Cage, Outshined, and Jesus Christ Pose.

We dig deeper into Pearl Jam's debut album, including learning about the mini-opera contained within.

In the wake of the death of Andrew Wood and the one-off album by Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam was born.

Shim and Brandon continue to discuss Temple of the Dog, while also getting sidetracked on a variety of topics, including other band names Shim and Sick Puppies toyed with.
