The fact is, without Sebastian Bach, there is no Skid Row. He's just that damn good. The band needs to stop arguing with each other, and bring him the fuck back !
I love Bach, but the dude cannot sing those songs or do them any justice, anymore. They would simply be playing for a pay check instead of keeping their integrity and doing it for the love of music. They don't get along. Why would you want to play with someone you cannot get along with, just for money? Their current singer does the songs justice, hits all the notes Bach couldn't since the 90's, and the band doesn't hate him. He brings a new energy to the band and the new album sounds like it came after Slave to the Grind. The band was formed before him and all the songs are written by those members. They have found their footing with Erik after 25 years. They sound renewed. Bach has his own band and sings Skid Row songs and it still doesn't sound like Skid Row. Had the band pulled Bach back in, they would have toured for a while and eventually kicked him out again, while falling once again to irrelevance. With their new singer, they have a good energy, and are attracting Erik's built in audience made up of a younger crowd. They sound great at shows and are gaining traction once again.
@shanewalsh4337 well, no matter how handsome he was or how well he sang, the way he behaved was too much to take it over... Bolan has a nasty character as well, though. He's just meant to be the leader, and that is partially he was better off after firing Bach.
One of the best metal albums, period. That thing was swinging fists from the first song until the end. A lot of metal heads dissed Sebastian because he was pretty, that didnt matter at all, SLAVE was proof
Yeah I had the debut on vinyl when I was 11. By the time this came out I was listening to And Justice For All at least once a day, and I was very surprised, in the best way possible, upon buying and listening to it. I'd learned that once a band got big they usually softened up. Not these guys.
7:15 "You think for a second he's going to be smart about it and move on to the next song..... but he doesent....dont do it....Sebastian NO!!.......Ahh Sebastian!" LMAO Im in tears.
as an oldskool thrash metal guy,i do have a handful of Skid Row songs & have seen Bach live when he supported Axl Rose in 2006,definitely has a voice that can marry into most metal genres
Let me tell you this. I waited so long for the 3rd album that when it came out, I listened to the entire album more than 100 times over weeks. Then Nirvana came out in a few months. By the time Nirvana made hypes, all of my heavy metal fanatic friends moved on to Nirvana. I listened to the Subhuman race album for another 2 years while hating Nirvana and all other alternative rocks. My ears just couldn't get used to those alternative bands because I still loved Skidrow so much. I still listen to the full album to this date.
And it was a fantastic single indeed!! For me it was a toss up between Wasted Time and In A Darkened Room as to which was the best song from that amazing album. So many great songs were on that album.
Sebastian has one of the most amazing voices ever. You feel it all over you when he sings and I am so glad that I was born as an 80s girl and the best music ever. There is nothing like 80s hair bands. It is actually still my very favorite music.
I was at that Springfield, MA show. Met some of the boys after the show when the tour bus pulled up at an intersection, because they couldn’t find the police station. What a great night it was! “Take that memories!”
Thank you so much. My very first concert was Skid Row with Guns N' Roses. I pray to God that Dave Sabo and Rachel Bolan release the entire pro-shot footage of the July 29, 1991 Inglewood Forum show.
I saw Skid Row open for Kix. Great performance. They said they had just been signed to Atlantic records the day before. No one knew who they were. A few weeks later everyone did.
No matter what is said about their videos (who really cares?! we don't listen to music for the vids) or their change in sound, regardless of everything, Sebastian's vocals are always top notch with an incredible range and rasp unlike anyone else. His vocals are still, to this day, monstrous! Snakes solos are on point too, although better in their earlier albums. So, not quite sure if this video is against Skid Row or just against Sebastian or exactly what's going on, but the band put out some monstrous metal that will be remembered and loved for many more years. That being said, I still enjoy the videos being put out on this channel. Much needed.
This is probably the first album I ever bought with my own money in 3rd grade. I was an absolutely massive fan. I used to sit on the phone for what felt like forever, trying to get my local station to play them. They never would, probably because they weren't enough like Skynard or Aerosmith. This was Georgia, after all. Skid Row might be the ultimate victims of heavy metal's fall from grace in the grunge era. They had a lot more to give, but the audience had just moved on. They really didn't belong in the 90's music scene, and the fact that they had to try robbed them of their potential. Strangely enough, much later in my life, my wife and her coworkers would get to know Rachel around 2016 when he came into their restaurant. I ended going to see them for free with the singer from Dragonforce. It was a little painful for me because I was a massive fan of Sebastian Bach in the late 80's. But it was still an unforgettable experience.
@@MetalSchoolChannel he really is. He moved to Atlanta because there was this great bar and rock venue north of the city, especially for older 80s bands. There was an Ozzy tribute band that would play all the time. Rachel had an Atlanta plan. But the community complained about the noise so much they were forced to close. Rachel moved away, and that was that, unfortunately.
They have been talked about too much, let the lesser known bands have some light and stop feeding more into bands that have already been talked about millions of times.
The Psycho Love video is actually in 3D. I have the original VHS tape that has this video on it, and it came with 3d glasses. That's part of why it looks so crazy.
I'm glad my first recommendation of your channel was skidrow made me stop by when I was 3 I remember hearing 18 and youth gone wild whoch made them my second favorite band them and ozzy in 89
Their debut was one of the greatest from a metalband in the 80s, only eclipsed by GnR - AFD with Slave being one of the best Metal albums of that early 90s era
This is the best rock video story explanation Channel om the planet. All the videos in the 80 and 90es were weird. This guy explains to you whats really going on.😂 Thank you for excisting. Great channel I love it. Looks like a lotta work. Thanks man. I’d like to see some Saraya,Winger,Firehouse,Extreme,Mr.Big. Thanks. Great Job….And keep comming with video commentary 😂
That’s a really good question. Wow. Well, I honestly can’t remember for sure, but this one (and Ratt) was severely butchered by TH-cam and I had to cut down or remove a lot of the music videos. But I also see some other YT channels have posted the In a Darkened Room video with no problem. This was actually only my second video and my first really after deciding to do them “regularly” so by now I’d have figured a way around the video or something and mention it for sure, as I totally agree with you. But yeah, I know I watched the music video for it when I made this one and I try to mention every track with a video, so either TH-cam wouldn’t let me show it or it was a brain fart on my end. Either way, good point!
Blackie still to me rocks just like when I was 13 and heard his voice for the time! Wow what great memories of music I still listen to and always will!
The first two Skid Row albums were game changers for me. Personally, I think the cover to the first album is kind of iconic. I don't know of a better place for a sleeze-metal band photo than a dark alley!
Forgot the EP "B-Sides Ourselves" where each member picked a song to cover. Songs like.... Delivering The Goods by Judas Priest, C'mon and Love Me by KISS, Psycho Therapy by The Ramones, What You Doing by Rush, and Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix.
Your quips on the 90s symbolism, e.g., "we're left with whatever this is supposed to mean" made me laugh. It's so true. Those 90s videos were so dark and weird. The 80s videos were more colourful and fun - and so cheesy, but often in a tongue-in-cheek way. The 80s were better for music and everything else.
I always classed myself as a fan of Skid Row, yet I only bought the first 3 albums. Today I'm only interested in the first two. I didn't even know the later albums existed. No Seb, means no Skid Row for me. He was a superb vocalist and frontman, but you can understand why the rest of the band got so sick of him. He's hard work and has a tendancy to be a bit of a dick.
I remember when Skid Row first came out. They were one of my favorite bands. It was exciting back then. Alice Cooper trash came out ,and Kix was also on the charts and GNR was kicking ass.
I absolutely loved the first 3 albums. each offer something different and still rocked. The new album The Gangs all Here, with this new kid, is also absolutely brilliant.
Psycho Love video was a 3D video, which is why the have all of the stuff floating across the screen and other images. There was a VHS that had it on there. Kiss eventually used the idea for an entire tour. I'm sure the 3D video can be found on the internet.
They had to change their sound to fit in the new music scene. So they lost the magic that made them great. They lost the sleazy punk rock metal sound that made them who they were.
They also released a video for In a Darkened Room, partially filmed in Iceland, when they played the Reykjavik national sports indoor arena, in front of some 3.000 people in 1991.
Yep. Bach was one out of a handful of all-time greatest singers. I never was a huge fan of Skid Row but my goodness... They had THE singer for a while. That time period was screwed up though. In my mind, PANTERA held down the fort during that sad period.IMO.
Hey glad you liked it! Your Skid Row videos are great too. Just checked them out. Really well put together and have way more information than mine too, so that's cool. Yeah, I like Sebastian and everything but they just aren't the same apart as they were as Skid Row. The last show I saw pre-Covid was actually Sebastian's solo show where he played all of Slave to the Grind.
@@MetalSchoolChannel thanks man I would love to see them back together one day but I think what ever window we had to see that happen is now gone me and you should Colab on a project in the future sometime
Still defending Subhuman Race, all these years later. It's misunderstood, and a bit of a grower, but has some fantastic riffs, and a lot of energy. It's underrated, IMO.
Subhuman race may not be quite as good as the first 2 albums, but it's miles better than thick skin. Thick skin is the only album I ever bought that I literally listened to it once and threw it in the garbage. Skid Row needs to realize that bach is 75% of what made them great, without him they are just a boring run of the mill hard rock band. Yes, I do realize bach is a handful though. He's been mature enough to reach out to them several times for a reunion though and they refuse.
Subhuman Race is solid. Some bangers on there. They were headed in a heavier direction. Rob definitely showed he could blast weapons of mass percussion.
That’s a great thing to fantasize about but don’t you think it would have to be 100% spot on or else it would be a huge disappointment? Just think about it for a second. If people caught even the smallest sour note, wrong lyrics, or missed beat etc., that would be all that most viewers would remember from watching. Not everyone, but most . I wouldn’t want to watch a live reunion show. A recording perhaps. 🎸 🎶 🔥 😎
Skid Row is my favorite band, & have been since Youth Gone Wild... waiting on the day that not only Bas is back with Rachael & Snake, but Scotti Hill & Rob Affuso too...
Scotti never left. Bach was fired and Rob left after they formed Ozone Monday when as he said he didn't like their singer Sean McCabe or the direction the band was going in, that was '98.
1991, June: Skid Row drops 'Slave to the Grind' 1991, September: Nirvana drops 'Nevermind' Skid Row did not copy Nirvana's grunge sound in 1991. Subhuman Race album sound was not their fault; Bob Rock did that in the mix, they were not happy about it
Sebastian Bach was one hell of a frontman! He was The Skid Row!
Bachs antics reminded me of David lee Roth when he was in Van Halen. Skid row will never be the same without Sebastian. Unreal singer.
The fact is, without Sebastian Bach, there is no Skid Row. He's just that damn good. The band needs to stop arguing with each other, and bring him the fuck back !
Correct. They don't even sound the same now. The same thing happened when Sepultura lost Max. They now sound like some nu-metal band.
I love Bach, but the dude cannot sing those songs or do them any justice, anymore. They would simply be playing for a pay check instead of keeping their integrity and doing it for the love of music. They don't get along. Why would you want to play with someone you cannot get along with, just for money?

Skid Row is Rachel Bolan. His songs.
They've turned down megabucks deals to reunite on more than one occasion. The band just don't want to work with him again. Says everything really.
@shanewalsh4337 well, no matter how handsome he was or how well he sang, the way he behaved was too much to take it over... Bolan has a nasty character as well, though. He's just meant to be the leader, and that is partially he was better off after firing Bach.
Slave to the grind is a great album
One of the best metal albums, period. That thing was swinging fists from the first song until the end. A lot of metal heads dissed Sebastian because he was pretty, that didnt matter at all, SLAVE was proof
For me i thought Slave to the grind destroyed the first album. And I thought the first album was great.
@@nightmarerealms5372 I like the first one better
Agreed!

Indeed.... and they way he says it.. classic! "Waiting for those aliens again" (or something similar)
Agreed!
7:15 "You think for a second he's going to be smart about it and move on to the next song..... but he doesent....dont do it....Sebastian NO!!.......Ahh Sebastian!"
LMAO Im in tears.
their 2nd album was and still is badass
"Ricky No!!" ...ha ha ... you do the best retrospectives - the music video breakdowns are gold...
18 and Life is one of my favorite song’s still today. I loved Sebastian so much. What an amazing voice!!!!
Sebastian Bach, for me, the best voice of the glam Rock era.
That is hard to argue. Definitely one of my favorites from the time.
as an oldskool thrash metal guy,i do have a handful of Skid Row songs & have seen Bach live when he supported Axl Rose in 2006,definitely has a voice that can marry into most metal genres
IMO, Sebastian Bach’s performance on Skid Row’s first album is the greatest rock vocal performance ever recorded.
Agreed.
I like Stephen Pearcy from ratt and Tom Keifer from Cinderella better
Skid Row with Sebastian Bach is the only Skid Row!! Period!!!!!
Let me tell you this. I waited so long for the 3rd album that when it came out, I listened to the entire album more than 100 times over weeks. Then Nirvana came out in a few months.

I don't even know how to say how much this album influenced my life, definantly one of my all time favorites.
You forgot their all covers EP "B Sides ourselves" They did heck of a job with that one!
i listened to the first album on cassette last night while working in my garage. perfect soundtrack
"Take that memories!"
"Way to get kicked outta yer house, dude!" I had to chuckle at that one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your commentary is great . No one could put these together better.
Thanks! ❤️🤘🏻
Honestly one of my top 5 bands ever
You forgot about the other single on Slave To The Grind. In A Darkend Room was also a single
And it was a fantastic single indeed!! For me it was a toss up between Wasted Time and In A Darkened Room as to which was the best song from that amazing album. So many great songs were on that album.
“The little girl immediately runs off to sell the rosary” 🤣🤣
"take that memories". Some great fun to be had with these videos mate
Anyone remember Shotgun Messiah? Their album Second Coming kicks ass!
Oh yeah. Tim Skold
First three albums are awesome. Very different but kickass
@Cuber Newb That was first album, even came with the cassette lol.
@Cuber Newb Me too. Wish I had kept those, but a lot if them were wearing out from use anyway.
I do remember them. The singer had killer hair.
Sebastian has one of the most amazing voices ever. You feel it all over you when he sings and I am so glad that I was born as an 80s girl and the best music ever. There is nothing like 80s hair bands. It is actually still my very favorite music.

@@MetalSchoolChannel It was! Rachel Bolan's bass strap broke and he finished out a song with the body of the bass pressed against his stomach!

I absolutely love your channel! Your commentaries on the music videos are priceless! Keep making this stuff. It's the best!
Wasted Time is one of the best rock songs to come out of the early 90’s. Love love love Skidrow so much!

They weren’t your typical hair band. They had an edge that the rest didn’t!! Fucking love it!!!!!
Just like guns n roses.:)
Skid Row is not hair metal to me. They don’t wear makeup, or dress too flashy.
What about W.A.S.P. and Dokken?
All these bands were hair metal, its just that after appetite for destruction the make up and glam just went away.
When you gonna do Ratt, Dokken & Motley Crue?
They did the one for Ratt, I saw it last night.
They have been talked about too much, let the lesser known bands have some light and stop feeding more into bands that have already been talked about millions of times.

Delivering The Goods by Judas Priest,

BEST COMMENTARY ON THE 18 AND LIFE VIDEO FKN YESSSSSSS

Hey great videos man I like that you cover a lot mores obscure bands also with great detail.
Psycho Love video was a 3D video, which is why the have all of the stuff floating across the screen and other images. There was a VHS that had it on there. Kiss eventually used the idea for an entire tour. I'm sure the 3D video can be found on the internet.
They had to change their sound to fit in the new music scene. So they lost the magic that made them great. They lost the sleazy punk rock metal sound that made them who they were.

Subhuman Race is solid. Some bangers on there. They were headed in a heavier direction. Rob definitely showed he could blast weapons of mass percussion.
Love it
These guys need to REUNITE 🤘🤘
That’s a great thing to fantasize about but don’t you think it would have to be 100% spot on or else it would be a huge disappointment? Just think about it for a second. If people caught even the smallest sour note, wrong lyrics, or missed beat etc., that would be all that most viewers would remember from watching. Not everyone, but most . I wouldn’t want to watch a live reunion show. A recording perhaps. 🎸 🎶 🔥 😎
Big fan could you do a video on Ratt? I would say Mötley Crüe but everyone knows their story at this point😂
Ratt is on the list for sure!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Skid Row. I wish everyone would just bring Rob and Baz back!
🤘wow 1st disc n' slave..grind are awesome 🤘
Psycho Love was one of the very first 3D videos. This video came with a pair 3D glasses. And it worked great too!
That was scene of walking together with tuxedo in cementery as then been adopted by A7X on their Sieze The Day video.
Wow, my two favorite bands here on this channel - Aria and Skid Row. Thanks Metal School for such an amazing job!
I just discovered your channel, and I love your analysis of their videos 😀. Oh, Ricky, no!!
Slave to the Grind is one of the best metal albums ever recorded. No one can ever take that one away from the boys.
i have bachs very early recordings when he was known ad Kidd Wikkid the album is called Maple Metal. Pretty damn good.
That's the most Canadian album title I've ever heard. Nice
Skid Row is my favorite band, & have been since Youth Gone Wild... waiting on the day that not only Bas is back with Rachael & Snake, but Scotti Hill & Rob Affuso too...
I’d love that too. You never know! It seems like everyone has mellowed out by now so maybe someday
Scotti never left. Bach was fired and Rob left after they formed Ozone Monday when as he said he didn't like their singer Sean McCabe or the direction the band was going in, that was '98.
Interesting fact; Nirvana almost got the name Skid Row for their band, but it was already taken!
"Take that, memories!" lol
The one late 80's hair band I actually liked, my brother bought their first album, and I had their 2nd album.
1991, June: Skid Row drops 'Slave to the Grind'
1991, September: Nirvana drops 'Nevermind'
Skid Row did not copy Nirvana's grunge sound in 1991.
Subhuman Race album sound was not their fault; Bob Rock did that in the mix, they were not happy about it
Sabo and hill,one of the best guitar duo,'s ever!🤘
Bach is one of the BEST vocalists of all time definitely!
I'd also add the amazing Geoff Tate, from Queensryche !
