History in Five Songs Episode 306: Offshoot Band, Shadow Band

In Episode 306 of History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff, Martin toys with the concept of "shadow bands"—offshoot groups formed by former members that mimic, diverge from, or rival the original band—ranging from dim echoes like David Lee Roth’s solo work to near-equal counterparts like Slash’s Snakepit to Ozzy’s post-Sabbath solo reign.

• David Lee Roth – “40 Below”

• Slash’s Snakepit – “Soma City Ward”

• Roger Waters – “Bird in a Gale”

• Mike + the Mechanics – “Blame”

• Streets – “If Love Should Go”
