The Toadies - "Possum Kingdom" Acoustic

The Toadies stopped by the iHeartRadio studios to perform some acoustic songs.

[@tnwhiskey68]

This is probably the most recognizable song of the 90s that people don't know the name of!

[@chrisa1125]

One of my favorite songs of the 90s and this was an awesome version!

[@freshpack8928]

I am the biggest nirvana fan and this was the best song of the 90s and a go to for me singing karaoke . This is my favorite 90s alternative song.

[@seanwillingham3755]

Love this

[@globalgourmand]

This song... forever. And this acoustic version is near-flawless.

[@gerald4133]

I haven't heard these guys for a long time but in the 90s' they rocked my Ford 4x4. With dark hair and soft skin pretty cool lytics ....so help me Jesus.. Do you wanna be my Angel.

[@jeffreyschutte4477]

I was there for this set! Absolutely amazing sound and the nicest guys. Thank you to the Toadies, WEBN, and of course Shroom for the opportunity. Two of the best performances I have witnessed.

[@valeriegray8068]

Lucky!!

[@ringleader5150]

Saw their show later that night. They rocked

[@ChadGrattanMusic]

These guys COULD HAVE BEEN the next big thing... this album was phenomenal. They blew it by waiting and wasting... A killer follow up could have blasted them into 90's amazingness.

[@stacianichole]

I was thinking about this, and maybe it's that two of their best (imo) songs are pretty dark in subject matter. Cause otherwise I have no idea why they weren't more well known. Rubberneck was solid. But you're probably on to something.

[@AppInventorCode]

I had looked into this...the problem was that "Tyler" and "Possum Kingdom", to top songs on the album, were not anywhere on the Lyrics. So while it got radio play, lots of peeps couldn't find who they were. Lost opportunities so to speak.

[@theskinnieguinea]

good point

[@vpdp0001]

i played this cd so much i wore it out

[@donniev8181]

Chad Grattan they were the next big thing??

[@valeriegray8068]

This is the most familiar song of 2023. I ran into alternative. Oh my gosh. I'm blown away with this song . Perfecttion!!!! My most played song on utube last year.. maybe this year too... 😅

[@thatbrad]

Nice work - enjoyed it. I love hearing versions of songs like this totally raw and unfiltered. Really let’s you appreciate the artistry.

[@silverbullitt24]

This band was f 'Ing badass live. So sad they never exploded on the national scene. W're very big in multiple parts of Texas. So much energy coming out of those lungs

[@bobclark7939]

They were big enough for heavy rotation on Mtv and hosted the MTV show 120 minutes..I think y'all are underestimating how big the Toadies were..Their record label screwed them and they had to wait 5 years to release there second album Hell below stars above..They toured the world with Rubberneck..they were pretty damn big.

[@kennedykiser557]

Love this unfiltered rendition of this classic!

[@jtocwru]

Drummer has metronome timing!

[@lilshaw09]

Sheldon Cooper in a past life!! Good stuff. Oh the 90's..

[@TracyIce]

I was thinking the same thing! lol

[@hiramturrubiate8580]

Hahahahhahaj yes is cooper

[@JonathanFox-uj1rv]

That is just wicked! When you pick up mid riff.😮

[@jerryhoppe9364]

Its the Sheldon Cooper dude for me

[@alisterfolson]

Awesome that a Rickenbacker is still used for this song, like in the video

[@jacklewis515]

My first question for you (if we happened to be in line at a food truck) is are we related? Next would be ‘what are you going to order?’ There is a third question. Which was actually the first question. This is unquestionably (ha!) a bit of a dark song to say the least. I can listen to it endlessly and enjoy it every time. Do you love and appreciate this tune (every time you play it) as much as we do?

[@monkeyb1820]

sounds great.

[@shammaboy]

my favorite song from the 90's.

[@donniev8181]

Waiting for him to kick the stool out and start blasting! All time favorite!

[@judesantillan]

love it, love u guys

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Digging that Guild D-55 it's next to join my steed.

[@mikeymumblesreal]

Damn dude you can sing

[@matthewbeadle8680]

These guys were awesome. One of the most memorable rock songs of my 20's

[@bloodepic]

My first album on CD!

[@prongs97]

Balls out rock.

[@johnwhitworth679]

These drums 🪘

[@crk140]

Nicely done

[@somemedic]

Couldn't get my man a mic to sing into?

[@millermonsterair]

how do you think youre hearing his voice?..... i do get what youre saying, however, with proper acoustic levels, you really dont need one.

[@fightinggamefanatic]

nice!!

[@barryc6100]

I never knew Moby was in The Todies

[@jacquelinek6588]

🎶

[@stikeepauz]

who remembers seeing the toadies every other weekend at Madhatters across from All Saints hospital , when they were a 5 piece ..that other chick and the dude withthe super dork status back turned hat...lol i used to see them all over Benbrook and Westside ft worth... CHAD GRATTAN is dean on right about them ,,, they could have been huge but they did nothing with it..still one of my favorite bands i always felt marks drumming was better than vinnie pauls ..

[@fedbumoz987]

I♡TS

[@schradermasonry3974]

great song love on ninetys nooner

[@JackCondor44]

this album was phenominal... I guess there success was so fast and the prospect of following up with the 2nd album jinx might of caused them to just say.... hey we weren't expecting this much success of going platinum why fuck it up leave on a high note ...... though years passed and the scene faded..... guess we'll never know now what they had to offer rock with a string of albums.... but this one was awesome.... i played it over and over .... im looking to investing some time into those later year releases at some point ..... but at 50 im a little less committed to the music scene .... sadly....

[@bigbromiki1]

you are clueless

[@willardtheband]

O-possum

[@PedroAraujo998]

[@16BitOG]

Bass player like, "what's acoustic?"

[@daisieb7547]

What is going on?

[@ArtificialJetleg]

Is that the same bass player????

[@williamconstantin8795]

@@averia942 what happened to her?

[@relyesss]

William Constantin she left after she realized that their record label at the time, Interscope, wasn’t going to promote their next album

[@skullcrusherpine3307]

what bass is that?

[@supervillain3213]

It's a Rickenbacker, possibly a 4003S model?

[@supervillain3213]

i think the better question though is....where is the girl that used to play bass?

[@joeyoung1498]

Skullcrusher Pine I was wondering the same thing

[@revolutionday1]

Supervillain321 Lisa Umbarger.

[@someperson7622]

where is the original bassist? and, burden brothers was bad assed, i kinda liked em more than toadies

[@organizm2251]

it says acoustic yet the bass is not

[@hornman82]

these guys still fkn thrash

[@foureyedchick]

The drummer doesn't seem to be working very hard.

[@JosephTerlingo]

Less is more

[@Randy-lb6sn]

This is acoustic. Ain't supposed to be hella crazy

[@JonathanFox-uj1rv]

Ohh. Just not right!!

[@camillesdiddly4843]

[@joeyfrishkorn]

[@TheFragnatic]
