The best singer Skidrow ever had apart from Sebastian was Erik Gronvall from Sweden. That guy has an amazing voice.
The best album they ever did was Slave to the Grind in my humble opinion.
🤘🏼🇸🇪🤘🏼

There’s surely some bad blood between Sebastian Bach and someone in Skid Row.

For years, every week you remind us that 30% of us are subscribers. Since that number has never changed, wouldn’t it be wise to assume your pleas are an ineffective waste of time?

This Edguy new shows reminds me of the Rush new tour (I saw them thursday night in Mexico city!), I love both bands but I think this is probably the last dance of both bands because Geddy and Alex aren't getting any younger, and Tobias has said in Facebook that he feels free in avantasia and trapped in edguy because he can do anything he wants in avantasia while in edguy there where arguments all the time

I’m a Faith No More fan from America, but at this point I’m happy to let sleeping dogs lie, especially after the stop start reunions, & European only festival shows. I met them back in 1990 & cherish that memory from the past. Glad to know Vivian Campbell is thrashing again with Sweet Savage, even if it’s just a one-off. I met Ed Guy once at Birmingham Airport the day before their Download 2012 show. They said they arrived directly from a show in Austria. I think Skid Row & Sebastian Bach just hate each other too much for a big pay day reunion. He was a singer originally forced on the band in order to get signed by their record company. He took over their spotlight ever since. Thanks for the updates!

Idk why Marillion won’t reunite with Fish, who made their best albums that I still listen to and haven’t cared about them since he left. Another case of Rock stars throwing their careers away bc of internal problems, and I couldn’t care less about a Rothery and Hackett band. Put the real Marillion back together for the fans. Clutching at straws is an album I still listen to and it came out 40yrs ago, it’s brilliant mates..

It will be great to see Faith No More back out there again. The Real Thing is one of my feel good albums and I like most of their stuff.. As for Skid Row, there is a good pay day to reunite with Sebastian, it’s not Pink Floyd money as I’ve posted before, but even though Bach can be difficult, I haven’t cared about them since he left and they’ve gone through a lot of singers, so it seems that they’re not easy to work with either. Suck it up for 90 mins a night, take separate busses, put your careers back on track and give the fans what they want. The fact that they’re looking for another singer says a lot about them. Pink Floyd has walked away from millions to play together and Skid is no Floyd, but I’m sure it would put them back up there, just look at Guns N Roses who are killing massive tours, playing 3 hr shows and making good money. So, it only seems logical that the Skid guys are a huge part of the problem and it’s not all on Sebastian.

7:04 Mike Patton has been on my Mount Rushmore of vocalists for over 30 years, but it’s disappointing how he’s treated FNM in their later years. Plus, I don’t feel like it’s an official reunion without Jim Martin – even though he’s been out of the band longer than he was in it at this point.

I got this live-version on the brain. It's from their gig at Hellfest in 2024.
If this is an good indication, I would guess that Wacken is going to be rocked hard this year!
