baz mentions axl :)

Well, yeah.... I mean, do you want to see an opening act that performs good or just dances for you?

That was my point for people who only commented on what Baz said or how he acted.


I'm not sure if Baz and his band were there because they're relevant. The shows I saw with them opening they did a great job of getting the crowd going. Which kinda is why there's the opening act(s).

That's a funny review of an opening act at a concert. No mention of what he's there to do, which is to sing.

I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, tastes differ. It's fine.
But there's more to an opening act than what the singer says on stage or the way he acts....

So he is only there to 'sing'?
I said the music was woeful and additionally his behavious was infantile and cringeworthy. His voice was a long way lacking from his prime as well. So if I had have said the exact opposite to the above that would be deemed ok? Sorry it was a bad look for a support act to a band intending to be relevant IN MY OPINION. that is all. Just my opinion but I think it was shared by a loy of people. Just as having Vanilla Ice opening would offer some guilt by association. That's all I'm saying.

I don't see how anybody can criticize his voice, impressive range and power- he is a great opener for GNR, imo.

My gripe was simply that he used to run his mouth about GNR a little too much for my taste- very subjective and only my opinion.

To this day, I remain a huge fan of Baz era Skid Row.

'Slave To The Grind' is still a desert album for me.  Even though I bought the cassette back when I was only 13.  Still love, love, love that album.

Shit, I even like a few tunes from 'Subhuman Race'. 

What I am trying to establish here is that despite him being dated, not relevant in forever...I still love the guy.  GREAT voice for his (admittedly, musically limited) genre

But, I can't get all that worked up if people roll their eyes at him.  I actually tell people about my love for the STTG album with no shame.  It rarely, if ever, gets me an "atta guy".  I did meet one guy once that, once I told him that, actually started quoting 'Wasted Time'.  He might be the only one though.

^atta guy!!!

breaking down of subhuman race is one of my all time favourites (not just skid row, but rock in general)

I heard Skid Row this past weekend at the NJ Food Truck Festival. They were good, but not great. They need Baz there.
