Skid Row thread

[Thorned Rose]

I know there has been a topic about this but whatever I don't care.

I have gotten Thickskin and I know it didn't make the charts or sell at all because of the lack of promotion but this album is very very good. It is a great rock n' roll record. Different drummer and singer, the drummer doesn't really matter that much but the singer change is a little weird but he's alright. Nothing like Bach but good.

There are 6 songs on there I adore. Does anyone have the cd? I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I like the song "One Light" alot and "Think is the Skin" "Ghost" is great too.

The best song on the album is probably "One Light" "I Remember You Two" is stupid and it fucks up the song all the way.

GET THIS ALBUM guys... Skid Row rules

I love the band. The new singer may not be Bach but he's good, when Thickskin came out i was praising it in this thread, go back a few pages to see dude  The weakest songs on the album IMO are 'Thick Is The Skin' & 'New Generation' but the album is utter class.  They cover such a wide range and have old school Skid Row songs and plenty of good new shit i recommend everyone to buy it, ignore the bad reviews  I saw them live in November supporting it and they put on a fantastic show playing new and old stuff, once again my review of that gig is a few pages back.  I also think they have done a damn good cover of their song 'I Remember You', i really love 'I Remember You Two'

Come on man, "I Remember You Two" sucks ass. It is the wrong beat for that song, the original blows it to hell and then back again.

I still prefer the original dude but i think both are great, i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

i do know that johnny said something about the video. if i rember correct they are done filming it.... and will soon be released...

Well after all this time the video has definately been released for sure.  I was watching SCUZZ today here in the UK (channel 471) and i thought fuck i recognise this song, and this band and to my amazement it was The New Skid Row w/ the Ghost video.  I was really pumped to see they've got some more publicity.  The video was a good bach to basics old school thing not much money spent but fun to watch and Johnny Solinger looked pretty damn cool and Snake looked a bit younger than his has been looking lately anyway for anyone in the UK who wants to see it watch SCUZZ (Channel 471 )

You're right dude he is class at interacting with the crowd you would think he wrote the songs he's so into them he seems really passionate about the old tracks just as much as the new which is great to see.  I really hope something happens soon but their website hardly ever get's updated [sounds familiar ] and when it does it's pointless news but yeah the video did finally get made and like i said it's class

Tim DiDuro has been named as the drummer for SKID ROW. ?DiDuro from Orlando, FL. will replace Phil Varone who abruptly left the band due to "personal reasons." Tim was signed on to play for the first leg of SKID ROW's 2004 World Tour which starts in Vernal, UT in February and runs into Europe in April. He will also appear in the new SKID ROW video for "Ghost."

i just remembered, in Norway, it was Phil playing drums... atleast thats what Johnny said.. the drummer, Phil! he said...

so i guess he is back in... mr. Varone that is... ?

That's damn weird if he was you would expect them to post something on their site

i know... when ?he got introduced i was like... wasnt he suposed to be out? but it rocked anyway... :p

but johnny may have said wrong, but i find that hard to believe to. and i know it was Phil the drummer was called. i wasnt drunk, so...


but then again, you would belvie that GNR would have posted something on their website about anything.... ? so it might be delayed or just a lazy ass webmaster ?

Ok Captain, since their site seems to be updated once a year ive gone digging round some message boards and it seems he is definately back in here's a copy of someone's post:

Message:   Me and a friend caught the band at the club John Dee inn Oslo. The show started a bit late cause the band was checking out the TNT show upstairs. (At least thats what we were told).

When the show finally started we were already pretty drunk and ready to rock. I think they started with Slave to The Grind and it rocked!!! Johnny did that tune great and the rest of the show kicked ass.

Anyways....about half way trough the second song i noticed that it was Phil playing drums and i started wonder if i had to much to drink maybe.....not so....it was Phil and that was a nice surprise considered i was a little ****** when i read about him quiting. I havent read anywhere that he is back in the band and wonder if someone has any info on this.

Anyone heard the song "Forever" by the original Skid Row?

It appeared as a bonus track on their greatest hits album Forty Seasons.? If you haven't heard this song, download, buy the damn CD, or something.? "Forever" is far and away the best Skid Row song ever, Sebastian's vocals on it are some of the greatest ever recorded by any singer.? It was recorded in 1988, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why it was left off their first album.? It's better than every song on it.

I have to agree it is amazing, i did not realise it was so old though i assumed they recorded after Subhuman and would of used it on a new album if they had not split up because that song is pure class it makes the greatest hits album worth picking up.  Why the fuck would you leave a track like that off any album??

Skid Row without Bach is like the Doors without Jim Morrison.

What`s the point? I`ve heard 1 or 2 new songs by them, not impressive.

The point is they have 3 original members and they want to go on and are still putting out good music Van Halen & Iron Maiden managed it and bands like Guns N' Roses have changed numerous members and most of us here still have faith and support the band.

from www.hardradio.com:

SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan has contacted us with news that the band "are in the midst of writing the new SR record and looking at a May release." In the meantime, Rachel has been working with his other band, THE QUAZIMOTORS. He states, "Skid aren't taking a break but I always need to create. The Quazimotors stuff is hard to describe. It's a three piece with two singers (myself and the guitar player). I've heard it described as, 'If Johnny Cash and Iggy Pop were to write songs on a 10 day bender', so that works for me "

Definately, i can't wait to see them perform again.  Long time no see dude, we're probably still the only 2 fans of the new band on this board, we've made up a good majority of this thread

Bach is a better vocalist but his quality of new tracks on that CD is medicore, Thickskin's tracks are far better, the live stuff on Bring 'em Bach Alive is good though but i have bootlegs of the old band i was hoping for more new tracks and good ones as well.

[mrlee]

do you have any of skid rows previous albums.


self titled, slave to the grind and subhuman race?

i got those and b-side ourselves and most other stuff they let out.

i also downloaded a live bootleg named *gutter punks* but its when they first came out with self-titled and i dont like that album because it sounds to 80's to me.

im not a fan of the 80's. Some very good rock bands came out then i will agree. But the fashion was the most annoying especially van halen with hagar and those flourescent pnik and yellow trousers lol.
