When i went the setlist from what i can remember had:

Slave To The Grind
Beat Yourself Blind
18 And Life
I Remember You
I Remember You Two
Makin' A Mess
Youth Gone Wild
Thick Is The Skin
Ghost
New Generation
Lamb
Monkey Business
Psycho Therapy
Get The Fuck Out

None of the songs you mentioned were played but trust me Lineker it was a fucking great time, the new vocalist is not as vocally talented but they put on one hell of a fuckin' show, like he said anyone fucker tells you this band is not Skid Row tell them to get the FUCK out

im going to see skid row on next wednsday... does anyone know if they play this setlist at the euro shows too? and if they really play I remeber you and IRY2 in a row?

i cant wait to see them. i only hope that the new drummer is as good as mr phil...  

[Hammy]

That setlist i posted was not the order of the songs played I Remember You and I Remember You Two are played but not back to back they are separated throughout, when i saw them it was November the album was very new and has only recently been reviewed in some magazines over here since the album has now been out longer id expect more songs off the new album, anywayz Captain write a review of the show when you get back tell us what you thought

hehe.. will do... might be hard though, if im not in the front row, there will ALWAYS be  some tall motherfuckers infront of me. cant be mistaken! it sucks bigtime!!  

[Captain P?l]

god!!!!!! i was at the show wednsady! it rocked!!!

im not even gonna atempt to write the setlist... but i know they played mostly old songs...

and sloinger surely do fucking truly amazingly rock damn much! he has screams from hell that the album dont show... almost those axl b(r)anshee screams....

and when they did I Remeber You (1) snake did it on an acustic guitar... and it the brigde they stopped playing cuz the band was missing.... i dont know if they where sposed to play the whole song, but solinger did bitch about it alittle  

and they did Psycko Therapy or something by The Ramones with Rachel on vocals! and rachel did a bass solo during a song.....

i was at the fron line right infront of Snake, so i got a pick from him... i got hit a couple of times by some wanker to the left of me thinking he was the drummer and aired drum. he was so out of beat that even snake laughed at him!   the same guy wanted one of the guards there to go onstage and get him a drumstick while the band was off before the encore's  

anyway, great band, best live band i have ever seen! lots of energy!!

and i really though that Snake was they lead player, but scotti hill played most solos. and that guy rocks much! he is PSYCO!! the look in that guys eyes are cruel! evil!!! funny guy.
he even help some poor guy in the front row who got pulled back by an asshole back to the front bu giving him the guitar and scotti pulled him back! that was cool!


GO SKID ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! we love you, yes we do

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...

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  

[Hammy]

Is this the dude you saw or not?

[Captain P?l]

im pretty fucking sure. to be honest, i didnt look at the drummer the most.

but im 99 % sure.. but i dont recall all those tatoos though....


oh, and is it only you and me liking skid row here? :p

It looks like Phil Varone could still be in then i was meant to be seeing them at the end of the week but im saving my money now for Download instead so i won't be able to shed anymore light on this matter until they update their site or release a video (what's happened to the 'Ghost' vid they were making).  There are others who like Skid Row Lineker10 and Dizzy come to mind but i guess we are their biggest fans on this board

[Captain P?l]

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



do you have that DVD? is it cool?

[Hammy]

I don't have it, it's like 40 minutes long and about ?15 so i thought it was a bit expensive, i'll buy it eventually though

Finally found a good review of Thickskin, one i agree with from www.allmusic.com ;

When Skid Row reunited without Sebastian Bach in 2000 and hired Johnny Solinger as their new lead singer, many longtime fans were understandably skeptical. Some were hostile to the very idea, arguing that a Skid Row reunion without Bach would be like a Led Zeppelin reunion without Robert Plant, or a Nirvana reunion without the late Kurt Cobain ? in other words, they saw Bach as irreplaceable and indispensable. Period. But Thickskin, Skid Row's first studio album with the expressive Solinger, is surprisingly good, although it should be stressed that this 2003 release is hardly a carbon copy of the band's Atlantic output of the late '80s and early- to mid-'90s. Instead, Skid Row updates their sound, offering a more modern approach (by early 2000s standards) that is obviously cognizant of alternative rock tastes. It isn't as dramatic a makeover as Tommy Lee gave himself after leaving M?tley Cr?e and forming Methods of Mayhem, but it certainly isn't a dose of hair band nostalgia, either. Those who expect the Skid Row of 2003 to sound exactly like the old Bach-era Skid Row are bound to be disappointed; those who are open to a more alternative-friendly outlook will find a lot to like about this melodic yet hard-driving effort, which fuses elements of Slave to the Grind and Subhuman Race with an awareness of the sort of post-grunge sound one would expect from the Foo Fighters, Silverchair, Creed, or Default. It's an appealing combination, although some diehard Bach loyalists will inevitably insist that an alterna-rock version of Skid Row isn't really Skid Row. Regardless, this is a decent outing ? one that falls short of essential, but is still a respectable demonstration of the band's ability to revamp their sound and carry on without Bach. ?

skid row are pure class just because they lost their lead member bach doesnt mean that the band is crap. I went to see them not long back and they rocked they really did i though that the vocals of the main man wernt as good as bach but come on they are hard to beat but apart from that they really did get into their songs.
