    They made it up the music industry hill and figured they could coast the rest of their career off of a batch of hit songs with a revolving door of vocalists rather than deal with the headaches of dealing with Bach.🤨

    Ironically the heaviest album to hit number 1 by skid row was followed up in 1994 for the now record heaviest record to hit #1 far beyond driven by pantera. Crazy how they both toured together and both got to number 1

    Bach may be a great singer, But he's such an enduring embarrassment to his former bandmates.

    Good for skidrow for not taking this colossal jerk back just to please the fans.

    I did the math ! If skid row would have opened for kiss back in the 90’s , skid row would have become just as big as KISS and would have made over $300 million dollars plus world wide total plus

    I can count on one hand the time high profile rock bands fired a lead singer, or let one go, and went on to prosper…you could argue the case of Van Halen and DL Roth, but people were completely split on that one as well. And they pulled an established singer/guitarist with a large fanbase into the mix. The fact that Skid Row's remaining members finally agreed to a reunion tour is the first thing positive thing I have heard in a while. And I am well aware of how juvenile and unhinged Bach used to act…almost like he was a young rockstar…

    For a point of reference, Alice in Chains, who were still absolutely massive in 1996, opened 4 shows for Kiss that summer. Those ended up being Layne Staley's final shows. My point is, if AIC weren't too big to open for Kiss in 1996, then the thought that Skid Row were too big to open is fucking hysterical. That said, the fact that Snake & Rachel have FOR YEARS turned down millions of dollars to reunite with Bach speaks volumes about what a headache the dude can be.

    His Big mouth is probably the main reason. I honestly don't think he's that good of a singer. I mean he stabbed bon Jovi in the back and he's the one who helped him get going. Sebastian Bach is a hypocrite Big mouth idiot…

    Skid Row was a great band with a vocalist in Bach and egos got in the way,my opinion is Bach got to be too big of an asshole and liability,nowadays he still runs his mouth about how much he hates the USA,then he walked back on the comment,he can go back to Canada if he really hates the country that paid him big money,good riddance

    If Rachel and Dave can't get over what happened 30 years ago then just find a way to go on stage for an hour with Bach and play for the fans. You always hear bullshit bands say we did it for the fans. NOT Skid Row.

    I met Bach @ a record store I was working at. I was playing The Ohio Express & he asked if he could buy it. If he records 'Yummy, Yummy, Yummy' you got me to thank.

    To open for kiss in 1996 would of been a 100% solid paying gig. The only touring kiss did was the Reunion tour. Which was massive and sold so many tickets it was insane. Why would anyone say they are too big to play with Kiss on the Reunion tour lol talk about EGO

    We wouldn't want to offend a gay person now would we? Why the fck would he even care? It isn't like they comprise the majority of album sales in this genre. Also isn't like the rank and file fans wanted anyone like that around this scene back then. Probably the same today. Go watch a drag show and stay out of our scenes
