Just as a warning I was a big hair metal fan back in the 80s- so this is just one of several heavy metal/hard rock/hair metal bands on this countdown. In fact rock bands reach as high as #5 on my 80's band countdown.
For some reason I thought that Skid Row was much more of an 80's band, I'd forgotten that Skid Row didn't release their first CD, "Skid Row", until 1989. Although if you want to be technical, they did form in 1986. Their second CD, "Slave To The Grind" was released in 1991 and they haven't done much since then. Their 2003 CD "Thickskin" isn't terrible- how's that for an endorsement? Likely Skid Row would be much lower on this list if I'd been more aware of when their first CD was released. But at this point, it is what it is. This blog is dedicated to all the youth gone wild!
Since singer Sebastian Bach left the band, Skid Row has gone through a few lead singers. Although not quite as many as Journey, where even Steve Perry himself briefly reunited with Journey and sang again. Skid Row at the recording of "Skid Row" was Bach, Rachel Bolan, bassist, Scotti Hill, guitars, Dave Sabo, guitars, and on drums Rob Affuso.
This song still packs a mighty punch 27 years later. "Youth Gone Wild":
"That child blew a child away." "18 And Life":
"I Remember You":
A song about pistols and rifles, right? "Big Guns":
"Sweet Little Sister":
"Rattlesnake Shake":
"Can't Stand The Heartache":
"Piece of Me":
"Here I Am":
