Skid Row thread

[Hammy]

That said, I really like the song Born a Beggar.

Yeah cracking tune, probably one of my fave tracks along with Ghost.  The shit stuff on the album was stuff like Thick Is The Skin and New Generation, when they go for the melodic stuff they are still pretty damn good, and although you don't like Johnny singing the old songs i don't mind.  He's obviously not as good but live they were still very fuckin' enjoyable and as for the change in appearance of Bolan & Co., that's what happens when you get older, your styles change etc. it would be cool if he looked like he did, way back when, but times change and people did, he's still a great performer live especially when he belts out Psycho Therapy

yeeey! skids rules!

i though johnny was WAY better live than he were on the album, more screams higher notes and such, but that might have been cuz i saw them live and had a blast... but i dunno...

wasnt they going into the studio again? for like over a  year ago? or something?

Dude, you know what they're like, they update things at the same rate GN'R do

Last i heard they were entering the studo a few months back (I think....) i think the album is/was due this spring/summer, we'll have something in a few months i'm pretty sure of that

Yeah hopefully it will be, i mean they don't even have a message board.....

....do you know of any Skid Row fansites with message boards or information dude?

[Captain P?l]

no.

you mean (new)skid row has more fans than you and me?!?

[Hammy]

no.

you mean (new)skid row has more fans than you and me?!?

Well my best mate is a fan so there's like 3 of us

[Captain P?l]

no.

you mean (new)skid row has more fans than you and me?!?

Well my best mate is a fan so there's like 3 of us

wow,... i must say the fanbase increases in lightspeed! from 2fans and now 3! thats like 50percent increace in like notime! wooohoo!!!



to add something "usefull" to the conversation:

well, i didnt like the nose chain rachel had, and i think he looked way cooler with spiked hair and long bang down... aaaw, the awesomeness!

[spacebrain5000]

i'm sort of a fan, so you can make it 3 1/2. So song as Johnny doesn't go over Sebastian's turf. Though I have to say, I really really really like the punk version of I Remember You.

and no wayy, the nosechain was so fucking cool, back in the day, man, rachel was a badass motherfucker. I think he looks like a mall punk type nowadays. Which is still kind of impressive consider he's... 40 () Though, I really like his arm electrical tape. And yeah, he's still pretty cool.

[Captain P?l]

you cant be a badass with nose chain.. someone would easily pull it out, and thereof one would be in very much pain...

:p

but he rocks anyway!

Happy 40th Birthday Rachel Bolan

[leila]

Skid row are one of my favourite groups,but the "old" group..today they are a good group..but nothing special for me..don't give me the same emotions..in spite of Solinger is a great singer and in spite of my love for Rachel Bolan...I don't know..but Skid row+Sebastian Bach were a magic combination..something incredible....
..and..happy birthday Rachel!!

[mrlee]

all my heroes are getting on now  now bolan...

DAMN LIFE CYCLES LOL

[spacebrain5000]

yeah Bolan!!!
 
I bought 40 seasons today, not even for any particular reason, I just thought I should complete my skid row collection. you know what's a good song? "forever".

Good, It's fuckin' amazing, one of the best tracks they ever did, how it never made any of their albums i don't know.....

[AxlsMainMan]

yeah Bolan!!!

Completely agree with ya...It's an absolute gem if there ever was one as far as Skid Row goes.

[spacebrain5000]

I can see how it wouldn't have made any of their records, despite it being a fucking excellent song. I find Skid Row's albums to be crafted in a certain way, with as much regard to its whole than its individual parts. And they never looked back. 

Really though, with the old Skid Row band, there isn't a song I don't like. And that's not even something I can say for GN'R. Back in the day, they were so fucking great.
Looking at the liner notes of 40 seasons, their "best of" (really if people want the best of Skid Row, they should just get all their albums, 'cept skip maybe B-Sides. But even B-sides I find highly enjoyable.) ...I found it so depressing. What can you do though. I have a poster of the old Skid Row circa 1989 in my room. That's it I guess.

[GNRBABY]

I didn't bother reading, but I think you all should see this movie http://www.wakingupdeadmovie.com/  it's about Phil Verone: drummer for Siagon Kick and Skid Row. Checkit out- it's a kick ass film about sex,drugs,and rock n' roll.

The new group kicks fuckin' ass live. I bought Thickskin based soley on their live performance.....it wasn't as good as live.
