Re: Skid Row
One of my favourite bands. Slave To the Grind (groin!!!) is a brilliant album all the way through. Cool heavy tones, sebastian is a kickass singer. So what happened? Where they caught up in grunge killing things off? I heard Sebastian was fired. Can anyone enlighten me? Ive only got into them in mid 2005 so don't really know their history.

Well, Slave did debut #1 on the Billboard chart--first time for a Metal act IIRC-- and they got booked on SNL then. (IIRC Def Lep was the first Metal act to hit #1 on Billboard though). But yeah, Slave was a solid album, liked it mucho.

Re: Skid Row
I remember reading an old Guitar World many, many years ago (with Reb Beach on the cover) that profiled all the young guitarists at the time. At the time of the first album Snake was using an Ibanez Iceman with EMG's fed into a Marshall JCM800, and he had a few Spector guitars with PRS HFS pickups in them. Scotti Hill used the ADA MP1, and various Charvel, Jackson Strats, as well as Spectors all loaded with JB's.
Their tone did change alot for Slave to the Grind, but a JB into a tube screamer in front of a JCM800 will do it

Re: Skid Row
The first 2 albums- Skid Row and Slave to the Grind. Forget anything without Sabastian Bach. I saw them open up for Ted Nugent and Kiss a few years ago with the new singer. The band was good, but sounded horrible with the new singer- made them sound like a bad bar band.
It's also worth checking out a live Sabastian Bach CD- Bring Em Back Alive- after he left Skid Row he got a few musicians to do a show in Japan, doing Skid Row material and a few covers. Really shows the set of pipes that man has live in concert

Re: Skid Row
1st album: ADA MP1 & Groove Tubes preamp through Marshall heads & BBE's. Duncan JB's extensively.
2nd album: Rivera heads & cabs.
"I Remeber You" from the 1st album has one of my favorite solos & tones.

Re: Skid Row
According to Sebastian (there are always three sides to every story) the rest of the band wanted to go more grunge, and he wanted to stick with the metal, so he split.
I always here about how there's bad blood between them, but I haven't heard anything else about it.
That's one band that I don't think we'll see on the summer reunion tour circuit!

Re: Skid Row
Ya i caught that tour in Toronto.... i thought the boys in Skid Row did a great job..... the singer was different but i was hoping they would of recorded something with him so i could hear how he really sounded..... my hearing is F'd and sometimes in those big arena's i have a hard time hearing clearly.
