This was their first ever single in '89, so , yes Jay, it's original singer Sebastian Bach here. When you come back to them, suggest trying "Monkey Business" or "Slave To the Grind".
The 80's can't be beat. The music and movies will never be matched. I'm happy to say I lived in that time and enjoyed every note of all this music. On cassette no less! :) Keep rockin the 80's metal. You won't be disappointed.
This was my defining song. I felt this and dedicated my life to never get in line and shut my mouth. I am 60 years old in 3 months and still stand behind this song as my anthem.
51 years old…I was 17 and dressed just like this….caused a lot of trouble, cause i was tired of being judged for my long hair, and torn jeans…followed by security at the mall lol
Skid Row was SO good!! I love how y'all instinctively understand and appreciate my generation. The music, the culture, everything! We thought we were the kings of everything and I guess we were in so many ways. I love these reactions.
I was 15, when this song and video came out in December 1988. After the video debuted, MTV's switchboard lit up with countless people requesting it. This song was the public's introduction to Skid Row, and their first two albums would be stuff we would indulge in for many years to come! Cheers from northeast Ohio.
I was 19 yrs old when this came out. Seen them the following summer opening up for Aerosmith. The 80's was by far the best decade to grow up in. The concerts were amazing. Back then we didn't have the internet. The only way you could hear songs were either buying the cassette or catching it on the radio and only way to see them was catching the video on MTV, when it actually played music videos. All we did was go to concerts
Yes grew up in the 80's it was a decade of driving everyone crazy are parents are teachers our police. Had so much fun listening to all the hair bands and Metal bands. With our ghetoblasters lol. No cell phones just lots of fun.
Yes, we were the youth gone wild. Late nights, loud parties and concerts like this just about every weekend in Chicago. I would not sell those memories for anything. Still the long hair and leather jacket...for life. You really need to check out Dangerous Toys. They were one of my favorite bands from the 1980's. Maybe look at the song "Sticks & Stones".
57 years old, I grew up in all of the 80s starting at 14 years old. All this music was part of my youth. I would not change a thing and my kids think I am permamently stuck in the 80s. Since I weight lift to 80s music exclusively. LOL
I’ll never forget working at a grocery store when I was 16 stocking an aisle one night when a co-worker ran in waving his Skid Row album and telling everyone how big these guys were gonna be. That was almost 35 years ago 🤯
I see Skid Row in concert they were awesome the lead singer sounds just like the record they were really good. When I was younger I used to try to go to all the concerts back then I was a big rock fan I had the big hair and all LOL it was the 80s look lol 80 music with some of the best music ever! I miss them days😢
As someone born in 73, the 80's were the favorite time in my life, especially the music. So happy younger generations are getting to hear and enjoy the music that made me who I am today.
Are we really going to ignore the fact when Rob first heard the music, he said the opening line to the song without having ever heard it before?? “Ooooh Yeahhhh.” 5 seconds later Sebastian opens with, “Ooooh Yeahhhh.” 😂😂😂
YES! And yes, he really did sound that great live back then! Great band all around. You should hear this song live if you want to hear a real anthem chorus because WE sang the chorus with them and yelled out SKID ROW in that one line.
You've covered most of Skid Row's biggest hits. I Remember You, 18 and Life (which Amber should hear), and Wasted Time. Now Youth Gone Wild. Next should be Monkey Business and Piece of Me.
Generation X baby. I swear this is the most jacked song I know. The first song on my work out playlist, I can testify this song makes you run faster on the treadmill than you’re naturally capable of.
Agreed!!! I know they've reacted to I Will Remember You video but they definitely need to react to the live version. That live and I Saw Red by Warrent are two of the best live videos in my opinion.
I love when you do 80's rock and especially hair bands. It brings back some great memories. We were wild and our parents never knew where we were. Lol 😜🤘
For me…if any one song defined our generation for us metal head kids…it was this one….man, we stood up against authority…I remember once I was at the mall, long hair, leather jacket…torn jeans…and security followed me everywhere…my friends showed up, we were in a band, and security stopped us and told us we had to leave, we couldn’t be hanging around….we ignored them, went to the food court, ate some pizza and went to the arcade…and when we left, my bass player gave them the middle finger lol….man those were good days! I was 17!
And Johnny Solinger, was the 2nd lead singer for Skid Row. I worked with him at the City of Denton swimming pool. He was a lifeguard there. And would very often get on the P.A. and showcase his vocal talent. Dude was an amazing friend. No longer than I was around him. RIP JS
I thought Thickskin with him on vocals was a pretty good album. Perhaps not typical SR, but good nevertheless. Sorry to hear of his passing a few years ago.
Knew you'd love it Rob Squad! Glad you finally got to their debut hit. I was in 10th grade when this came out, and they hit BIG. We loved them and cranked them in our cars at lunch time. Skid Row is one the bands I unfortunately never got to see live. I know they rocked, so that hurts a little.
I've seen a lot of bands live but Skid Row really rocked HARD & put on a great show back in the late 80s & early 90s, prob 2 of the best gigs I've seen were those guys. I was 15 when i first saw them, amazing night!
Today's music will never top what we had. I know it's a whole new generation, but they lack originality and vocal mastering that the past decades brought. We'll never have the greatest music again. But the younger generation revisits it and finds out what greatness truly was.
Thank you Jay & Amber so much for reacting to this.Absolute banger.Skid Row did come in late.(1989) pass the point of the glam period Though he's not with the band anymore he can still hit those high notes
For many of us, this was our first introduction to Skid Row and we definitely adopted this one as our anthem. They quickly became my favorite band of that era and I got to see them multiple times opening for Bon Jovi. Such great memories of great shows. Thanks for bringing this one back! I’m glad you loved it!
I was 8 yrs old listening to this tape and singing every word. Some of the older kids, teens in my neighborhood were definitely the "youth gone wild". My wife who is twelve years older than me, was 20 at the time and still remembers rocking out to Skid Row.
Glad you both enjoyed this! I love how open you guys are to such a diverse range of music. "Monkey Business" is another great Skid Row song you could react to.
1989, I was in military AIT. My only personal property in my locker was a cassette player with one tape. The original skid row tape. One of the best of all time. Has a lot of significance to me. Thanks for the memory.
This band was one that came outvin 1989 that just caught the ears immediately!!! Sebastian Bach is the lead singer. My co worker Lisa used to have me sing this constantly back then .
Sébastien Bach the lead singer is a Canadian from Ontario and a fantastic voice. The band is from New Jersey and when they heard him sing he was invited to join them but yes he is a proud Canadian
@tomstockley7055 Yes, he is. I knew . Appreciate your information on that . The old rocker loves all the Canadian bands. Favourite one is Bachman Turner Overdrive.
" Monkey business" from Skid row is good too 😊 Let me suggest another " Hair metal" band from this era( late 80s early 90s) that always got a lot of hate from the metal community. The band is Enuff Z Nuff and their songs are " Fly High Michelle" and " New Thing" there's more but my old self can't think of them Lmao 😂 PS When Ya'll get to some Christmas songs later on might I suggest " Christmas is a time to say I love you" by Billy Squier
You all compliment every song you listen to even if they suck. But when you hear a banger your personalities spike to a new level. This is my favorite workout song
If you want a new hair band to react, I'd recommend "Nelson Brothers", they are sons of Ricky Nelson and have some nice songs to react to like "After the Rain", "I can't live (without your love and affection), "More Than Ever" and some others.
Love the reaction. Saw them in concert in 1989 when they opened for Bon Jovi. On a different note - you really should react to Jamiroquai “Virtual insanity”. Do the video version if possible. You won’t regret it.
I went to their Australian Concert during their "Youth Gone Wild Tour" at Fesitval Hall in Melbourne back then. I swear, when this song came on, I thought there was going to be a riot. He got us fired up that much.
Tora Tora is another good band from this genre. I don't think you guys have done them yet? Walking Shoes or Phantom Rider would be good songs to start with.
One of the greatest debut albums !!! A few others from the 80’s that you’ve not yet looked at would be Bulletboys -Smooth up in ya, Accept - Balls to the Wall, D.A.D - Sleeping my day away and Sleeze Beez - Stranger than Paradise. All great bands with a nice library of hits !!
I miss the 80's so much. I would go back in a heartbeat. And yes we were the last of the rebels.
I freaking love skid row every song every oh my God it's so good Sebastian Bach kills it
This song still kicks ass all these years later!!! ❤❤❤
This was their first ever single in '89, so , yes Jay, it's original singer Sebastian Bach here.
When you come back to them, suggest trying "Monkey Business" or "Slave To the Grind".
Monkey Business is my favorite.
Dam, Slave to the Grind is a really good one too. I just posted the link for Monkey Business before I even read your reply.
Slave to the grind is my fave.
Both those tunes are absolute bangers!👍
🤘🏻
One of my all time favorite tracks....Glad you guys liked it...Monkey Business is another BANGER!!!
Uncle Tom's cabin 🤘
@@jimrupe9991 Not a Skid Row track though.
@@headlibrarian1996 Yes. It's Grateful Dead.
@@josephgilbert3632 It's Warrant.
Slave To The Grind, Mudkicker, Big Guns, Piece Of Me....lots of fist pumping bangers to choose from with Skid Row!
You have to remember, this was during PMRC when the government was trying to censor music
The 80's can't be beat. The music and movies will never be matched. I'm happy to say I lived in that time and enjoyed every note of all this music. On cassette no less! :) Keep rockin the 80's metal. You won't be disappointed.
Youth Gone Wild is one of the unquestioned anthems informing what it felt like growing up in the 80s.
Sebastian has always had such a GREAT voice and phenominal scream.
Check out their song Wasted Time. Perhaps Sebastian’s finest vocal performance
They did that one already
Check him out on the Masked Singer tonight. He hasn't been unmasked yet, but it's obviously him
Agreed
@@sparkyth67as a daily follower of this channel, I am ashamed i didn’t know that
@@joek7606 It's all good. I think that was the last one they did but it was over a year ago
“Park Avenue leads to skid row” is one of the best lines ever written about the 80s.
Hard.
This was my defining song. I felt this and dedicated my life to never get in line and shut my mouth. I am 60 years old in 3 months and still stand behind this song as my anthem.
I turn 60 next month & I agree with you. The 1980's had the best music , best hair bands, & best anthems.
I'm 45 and I'm the same. This was my teenage anthem in the early 90's when everyone else was listening to grunge.
me too 60 in feb skid row and cpp love it@@meggiles6848
51 years old…I was 17 and dressed just like this….caused a lot of trouble, cause i was tired of being judged for my long hair, and torn jeans…followed by security at the mall lol
So you like soft radio shit. Big deal.
Man, this tune rocks. I miss stuff like this! Top notch musicians all around.
Skid Row was SO good!! I love how y'all instinctively understand and appreciate my generation. The music, the culture, everything! We thought we were the kings of everything and I guess we were in so many ways. I love these reactions.

Youth Gone Wild is such a banger!!! Thanks for doing this one. I highly recommend “Monkey Business” and Slave to the Grind” from Skid Row!
Skid Row " In a Darkened Room" is a killer song. 🎶
Quicksand Jesus too.
My favorite 😍 Darkened room
Gets me all the time 😢
I was 19 yrs old when this came out. Seen them the following summer opening up for Aerosmith. The 80's was by far the best decade to grow up in. The concerts were amazing. Back then we didn't have the internet. The only way you could hear songs were either buying the cassette or catching it on the radio and only way to see them was catching the video on MTV, when it actually played music videos. All we did was go to concerts
I saw that concert too! January 1990 in Syracuse, NY!
I seen them in Pittsburgh, Pa. The 80's and 90's concerts were the best
@@therealmciver3761 Agreed the 90s were just as epic as the 80s in many ways. Collective soul, and others made the 90s rock as well.
I caught 'em in Seattle in either '89 or '90...amazing live.
Seen em in 89 open for Bon Jovi. They only had this song at the time. Bought the cassette the next day and kept rewinding I Remember You for hours!
Yes grew up in the 80's it was a decade of driving everyone crazy are parents are teachers our police. Had so much fun listening to all the hair bands and Metal bands. With our ghetoblasters lol. No cell phones just lots of fun.
It was so much fun growing up in the 80’s! I saw them in concert it was amazing! Glad you like the 80’s hair bands my all time favorites!!!
I real fortunate to grow up in the 70s and 80s generation. Our generation grew up with the best music. Love it!
This was their first hit and this video got heavy rotation on MTV. Great album & band.
This takes me right back to being 15 years old. Good times.
I'm 50 now. This song still makes me young.
80S rock was amazing we were spoiled love it
Yes, we were the youth gone wild. Late nights, loud parties and concerts like this just about every weekend in Chicago. I would not sell those memories for anything. Still the long hair and leather jacket...for life.
You really need to check out Dangerous Toys. They were one of my favorite bands from the 1980's. Maybe look at the song "Sticks & Stones".
I did love Dangerous Toys. “Scsred” is a good one.
Hell yeah! That was us! Still are!
Hearing that song takes me right back to 1989!
Don't Mess with Gen X. Just another one of our Amazing Gen X anthems screaming our battle cry of LEAVE US ALONE. You don't like us.... we dont care
57 years old, I grew up in all of the 80s starting at 14 years old. All this music was part of my youth. I would not change a thing and my kids think I am permamently stuck in the 80s. Since I weight lift to 80s music exclusively. LOL

As someone born in 73, the 80's were the favorite time in my life, especially the music. So happy younger generations are getting to hear and enjoy the music that made me who I am today.
Are we really going to ignore the fact when Rob first heard the music, he said the opening line to the song without having ever heard it before?? “Ooooh Yeahhhh.” 5 seconds later Sebastian opens with, “Ooooh Yeahhhh.” 😂😂😂
That was wild! I think it was spontaneous. Unless the lyrics were on?
@@alexrossi4464 yeah, I’m sure it was spontaneous…. But it was funny AF….
I noticed that too! Thought it was hilarious.
I cracked up when J said it too cuz I knew as soon as the music started what the first lyrics were 😂 love Skid Row!!!
It was so much fun then cruising with friends and singing this on saturday nights!
YES! And yes, he really did sound that great live back then! Great band all around.
You should hear this song live if you want to hear a real anthem chorus because WE sang the chorus with them and yelled out SKID ROW in that one line.
I was 22 when it came out and I think it was a great time to be young and wild!!
This whole ALBUM GUYS/LADIES!!! Sebastian Bach is a Monster!!!
Legendary Hair Metal hype banger no cap
You've covered most of Skid Row's biggest hits. I Remember You, 18 and Life (which Amber should hear), and Wasted Time. Now Youth Gone Wild. Next should be Monkey Business and Piece of Me.
Slave To The Grind is a banger too.👍
I also really liked Sweet Little Sister
Generation X baby. I swear this is the most jacked song I know. The first song on my work out playlist, I can testify this song makes you run faster on the treadmill than you’re naturally capable of.
Sebastian Bach was one of the best vocalist of that era.. his performance on I remember you is possibly the best vocal of a hair band!
Agreed!!!
I know they've reacted to I Will Remember You video but they definitely need to react to the live version. That live and I Saw Red by Warrent are two of the best live videos in my opinion.
I really miss that feeling of being a teen listening to our rock music, and we loved those beautiful, long-haired boys.
I'm 55 and I was just up and shaking my fist w this at max volume. Hello, 20 yr old Rick. I remember you.
This was “The” anthem back in the day 🔥
Amber's reaction to "Park Avenue leads to... Skid Row!" was on point. It hits me the same way!
Sebastian Bach has one of the best voices! And god was that man fine as hell lol.
I absolutely love Skid Row I've never heard anybody review the song Piece of Me it's the first song by them I ever heard it's a real rocker
YES, You finally got to this one. This is my favorite song by Skid Row. Was 19 when this came out. We blasted it everywhere we went.
Wasp please! Blackie Lawless is an amazing vocalist! Wild child, blind in Texas, the flame, sleeping into the fire, love machine and so many more!
I love when you do 80's rock and especially hair bands. It brings back some great memories. We were wild and our parents never knew where we were. Lol 😜🤘
For me…if any one song defined our generation for us metal head kids…it was this one….man, we stood up against authority…I remember once I was at the mall, long hair, leather jacket…torn jeans…and security followed me everywhere…my friends showed up, we were in a band, and security stopped us and told us we had to leave, we couldn’t be hanging around….we ignored them, went to the food court, ate some pizza and went to the arcade…and when we left, my bass player gave them the middle finger lol….man those were good days!

Sebastián Bach did Phantom of the Opera on Broadway for a while. After his Skid Row fame.
And Johnny Solinger, was the 2nd lead singer for Skid Row. I worked with him at the City of Denton swimming pool. He was a lifeguard there. And would very often get on the P.A. and showcase his vocal talent. Dude was an amazing friend. No longer than I was around him. RIP JS
He had a great voice, for sure.
I thought Thickskin with him on vocals was a pretty good album. Perhaps not typical SR, but good nevertheless. Sorry to hear of his passing a few years ago.
Sad, he died of liver failure at only 55 I believe.
Man, you guys really need to hear White Lion. One of my favorites from this era.
Knew you'd love it Rob Squad! Glad you finally got to their debut hit. I was in 10th grade when this came out, and they hit BIG. We loved them and cranked them in our cars at lunch time. Skid Row is one the bands I unfortunately never got to see live. I know they rocked, so that hurts a little.

Sorry you didnt :(
Their new singer is pretty good, worth checking out if you get the chance@@dustinjones8887
the first two Skid Row albums are killer... saw them on both tours, great stuff!
If you want anther great 80s rock anthem, try “Rock you like a hurricane “ by The Scorpions. Epic!!!
I was 18 when this & "18 & Life" came out. We went nuts
Today's music will never top what we had. I know it's a whole new generation, but they lack originality and vocal mastering that the past decades brought. We'll never have the greatest music again. But the younger generation revisits it and finds out what greatness truly was.
Sebastian has performed on Broadway. His voice is that good.
One of the best debut albums. Every song is good.
Thank you Jay & Amber so much for reacting to this.Absolute banger.Skid Row did come in late.(1989) pass the point of the glam period Though he's not with the band anymore he can still hit those high notes
I was about 21or 22 when this came out its been a long time since I last heard it.
This was my teenage Anthem as a teen in the 80's
This was my group of friends theme song in high school! Bunch of girls in a Camaro singing at the top of our lungs... good times.
For many of us, this was our first introduction to Skid Row and we definitely adopted this one as our anthem. They quickly became my favorite band of that era and I got to see them multiple times opening for Bon Jovi. Such great memories of great shows. Thanks for bringing this one back! I’m glad you loved it!
Rock on Rob Squad
The 80's were the generation for teen rebellion. Which as a Rocker/Metal Head, that was me.
Sebastian Bach not only has the pipes but he is one of the greatest frontmen in rock.
And was so freaking sexy❤
I was 8 yrs old listening to this tape and singing every word. Some of the older kids, teens in my neighborhood were definitely the "youth gone wild". My wife who is twelve years older than me, was 20 at the time and still remembers rocking out to Skid Row.
Glad you both enjoyed this! I love how open you guys are to such a diverse range of music. "Monkey Business" is another great Skid Row song you could react to.
Sebastian Bach with his long legs, hair & vocals that can go forever 😍‼️
You guys have no idea how great the 80s were!!! To call it a blast is a gross understatement!
A steam roller of a song!!!!!!
"Metal Health" by Quiet Riot, first 'metal' album to hit #1 on the charts, 1983.
See if you hear the iconic phrase in the song that became culture.
Man I miss those days, music was awesome 😎😎
The first time I saw them, they were opening for Bon Jovi on the New Jersey tour. I didn’t really know that much about them at all and I loved them.
I saw that your also. They were amazing. They blew Bon Jovi away. They were so good.
I’m jealous! I wanted to see that show!
1989, I was in military AIT. My only personal property in my locker was a cassette player with one tape. The original skid row tape. One of the best of all time. Has a lot of significance to me. Thanks for the memory.
This band was one that came outvin 1989 that just caught the ears immediately!!! Sebastian Bach is the lead singer. My co worker Lisa used to have me sing this constantly back then .
Sébastien Bach the lead singer is a Canadian from Ontario and a fantastic voice. The band is from New Jersey and when they heard him sing he was invited to join them but yes he is a proud Canadian
@tomstockley7055 Yes, he is. I knew . Appreciate your information on that . The old rocker loves all the Canadian bands. Favourite one is Bachman Turner Overdrive.
Bto is a great choice but I've always been a big April Wine fan with Streetheart a close second.
@@tomstockley7055 Excellent choices!
This was my Senior Class song. Class of '91! Great reaction!
this album was a game changer for me when I was a teen....it was amazing.
My generation and i am proud
And still a rebel 30 years later
✌️💛🤘
A great 80's metal band you've completely missed so far is ANTHRAX! "Got the Time" is a great one to start with.
also from anthrax bring the noise,I'm the man
ANTISOCIAL 🤘
They we're the youth gone wild.
Is it just me or is the sound not right? They sound far away lol
Yeah, kinda tinny or something
Yup, tinny
Sounds messed up
No issues...yet.
It's not just you.
Oh yeah...the 80's WERE wild lol.
i think you guys would enjoy their song "Quicksand Jesus". it's my all-time favorite by them.
oh yes! i love it too!
One of the best voices from that period.
80s metal so many good ones. Time for more Stryper!
you bet!
I met a guy who had Sebastian Bach's entire 'Youth Gone Wild' forearm tattoo about 2 years after this album was released. He was a school bus driver.
" Monkey business" from Skid row is good too 😊 Let me suggest another " Hair metal" band from this era( late 80s early 90s) that always got a lot of hate from the metal community. The band is Enuff Z Nuff and their songs are " Fly High Michelle" and " New Thing" there's more but my old self can't think of them Lmao 😂 PS When Ya'll get to some Christmas songs later on might I suggest " Christmas is a time to say I love you" by Billy Squier
Didn't they sing "Mother's Eyes"? It's one of my all time favorites.
@@Robsan40 Yes, Mothers Eyes is another great one from them. Also "In The Groove" has a very hard driving beat.
Fly High Michelle is an amazing song, would love a reaction
You all compliment every song you listen to even if they suck. But when you hear a banger your personalities spike to a new level. This is my favorite workout song
If you want a new hair band to react, I'd recommend "Nelson Brothers", they are sons of Ricky Nelson and have some nice songs to react to like "After the Rain", "I can't live (without your love and affection), "More Than Ever" and some others.
They performed at my high school in ‘91. Love them!!! Great ballads too. Back then, they went by Nelson. Matthew was my fave of the 2.🥰
Used to listen to this while cruisin in my 5.0 , great times!!
Love the reaction. Saw them in concert in 1989 when they opened for Bon Jovi. On a different note - you really should react to Jamiroquai “Virtual insanity”. Do the video version if possible. You won’t regret it.
GEN X DIDN'T JUST PUSH BOUNDRIES WE TRAMPPLED THEM WE WERE THE DEFINITION OF WILD YOUNG AND FREE
I went to their Australian Concert during their "Youth Gone Wild Tour" at Fesitval Hall in Melbourne back then. I swear, when this song came on, I thought there was going to be a riot. He got us fired up that much.
You guys need to check out Monkey Business by Skid Row! Kick ass song!
I was 18 at the time. Big hair, cowboy boots, ripped jeans and just loud music loving the moment because nothing lasts forever, except the music.
Tora Tora is another good band from this genre. I don't think you guys have done them yet? Walking Shoes or Phantom Rider would be good songs to start with.
One of the greatest debut albums !!! A few others from the 80’s that you’ve not yet looked at would be Bulletboys -Smooth up in ya, Accept - Balls to the Wall, D.A.D - Sleeping my day away and Sleeze Beez - Stranger than Paradise. All great bands with a nice library of hits !!
