- 18 AND LIFE - Erik Grönwall (Skid Row Cover)
This song was basically the starting point of my professional career as an artist. I performed this song during my Swedish Idol audition back in 2009. 12 years later it's time to give this bad boy a try again. Here's my version of the Skid Row song 18 and life.

Ricky was a young boy
He had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked
His fingers to the bone
Just barely out of school
He came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
So no one could take him down, oh no
He had no money
No, no good at home
He walked the streets a soldier
And he fought the world alone and now it's
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time
And it's 18 and life to go
Tequila in his heartbeat
His veins full of gasoline
He kept his motor running
But it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure
Ricky's the wild one
He married trouble
And had a courtship with a gun
Bang-bang shoot 'em up
The party never ends
You can't think of dying
When the bottle's your best friend and now it's
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time
And it's 18 and life to go, ye-yeah
Accidents will happen?
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
That child blew a child away, ye-yeah
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time
And it's 18 and life to go - บันเทิง
In case y’all missed it… HES THE NEW SINGER OF SKID ROW , talk about full circle!
HELL YEAH! 🤘
Game changer
For me still nothing beats Sebastian's voice for skidrow😊
th-cam.com/users/shortsAksZYEX4MzQ?feature=share
This kid sounds like Bach.
@@jenningsmills5398 Not Even Close
Knowing he was battling cancer here and became the new lead singer of Skid Row is incredible. What an inspiration Erik is. I remember seeing him in the swedish idol audition years ago, what a talent.
For real? Amazing how he's able to do this song while dealing with such a hateful disease. What an amazing guy and an amazing talent!
He actually won Swedish Idol that season, he was my favourite. He then was the leadsinger for H E.A.T for many years before he was unlucky enough to get cancer 😢 But luckily he recovered and got to be the singer for Skid Row, pretty amazing!
@@MissSylvia67 yeah,but Skid Row canot b Skid Row without Sebastian!
@@user-lx8rp3vu6m Am not a fan of Skid Row so I don't have an opinion on that, but I am Swedish so I still am a fan of Erik's
I remember him singing this song and playing his acoustic guitar. I used to listen to that version all the time because it was the best
I swore 20 years ago I'd never go see skid row without bach, and now I hear this cover and am suddenly looking for when skid row is coming to my area. This dude can fucking sing!! 🤘🤘
He has a great voice.. But it's not Sebastian. It's not a once in a life time replacement like Ripper Owen did with the priest.
@@RIFFRAFF104 I agree with you he is not the Sebastian of the old days, but he is the best replacement I have heard that fits the band and I'm not knocking any of the past singers. Tony Harnell was awesome in TNT but I didn't think he was a great fit in skid row. You are right about Ripper 100%. No one ever thought priest could find someone to fill Halfords shoes but Ripper is a beast!!
Exatly what i said. No Skid Row without Sebastian, but this guy brings back the 90s voice and spirit. Looking forward to see them in November 🤟
Hey T B! Thank you for this compliment. I agree. I'm not Sebastian. I'm just a guy from Sweden who likes to rock and I will do the best I can with what I have for Skid Row and their fans. Personally I consider the vocal performance on Slave to the grind to be one of the best vocal performances in rock history.
@ Erik. I have listened to the gangs all hear track a few more times. I'm really digging it. My buddy Eric worked for MTV and was the first person to turn me on to skid row. I sent a link to him and he loved it.
Keep up the great work. If you come to NC I'm definitely going to see your band.
Diagnosed with Leukemia in March, records this cover in August that ultimately lands him the job with Skid Row... Amazing bro!
And now Erik’s in the band. Wow. Well deserved. Looking forward to new original music from Erik and Skid Row already.
Never heard of the dude, just checked this video with no expectations, holly shit dude has some pipes excited for skid row something i havent been in over 25 years
@@rondarkman. Come on, friend!! Are you an American where you live in a bubble and only consume what your market tells you? Erik Gronwall have a huge career successful, for more than 10 years!! We know it all over the world!! Except the North Americans! Look for H.e.a.t, Amercian idol Sweden, New Horizon!! Listen this song: th-cam.com/video/0-RS5PdYWfk/w-d-xo.html
I would have to think that this is what got Erik the gig with Skid Row or at least an audition. To bad for H.E.A.T. though.
@@bueymb H.E.A.T. got Kenny Leckremo back, they'll be just fine. Love both of the singers' voices equally. :)
He ain't no Bach that's for damn sure Bach all the way
I would love to hear you sing Livin' on a prayer
From 10 years ago until now, I have been your fan. Nice to be on TH-cam.
와 티도강님 여기서 보시네요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Not very often a band gets a replacement singer that can pick up where the other left off. Been following this guy for a few years now and he's going to be a great fit for Skid Row.
I am super happy that Skid Row has you as their lead singer. You have the best sound of any singer they have had. Since the original lineup. Give em hell dude. I can't wait to see you all in concert. I grew up playing skid row's music in drums. Just thrilled they finally hit it out of the park with an awesome singer and an awesome voice. Like I said Give em hell. Mike
Yup
Best damn cover I have ever heard!!!
I appreciate that!
Damn, imagine having a voice like Erik. So incredible.
1st time EVER hearing this song and I just played it 10x back to back.
Brotha, I am so fuckin proud of you. I'm from New Jersey and I grew up with the guys. I still see and talk to Baz once in a while. And I've seen all the singers come and go. You absolutely fuckin killed it. Fuckin killed it!!! You keep that shit goin and never stop. Do your thing brotha and every fuckin door is gonna open for you. Stay amazing and make smart decisions. Super proud brotha!
exit118, true
Not everyone knows him/heat. They are niche market in the UK for sure. No one outside of dedicated rockers etc know them. Its a shame but its true. If it was the 80s it would be another story but it is what it is.
At least people are now looking at him and hearing him.
I love Eric, but not sure how long skid row will keep him around. They appear to be spinal tap when it comes to singers. I want to know the timeline for firing zp
... and some😊🤘
Full Circle: Love a band, audition with their song, and years later become their new vocalist. True rock star story, and considering what you've overcome to get here it's pretty amazing. Happy for you...keep rocking and live the dream.
Ripper Owens did it too
@@KB-jh3rt still a pretty cool story, didn't Journey do something similar?
There was a movie with Mark walkberg about this story... with the best band that never existed (steel dragon)
@@Stevin13 yeah, it's called Rock Star. Another note is at the end of that film, Mark's character Izzy pulls another guy on stage to take over for him. That guy is a young Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge.
This actually sounds really good. This kid's got some pipes.
Thanks Erik, for saving my beloved Skid Row.
Skid Row just became relevant again!
I was 18 when this song was released as a single. To have you fronting Skid Row is simply magic. Feel like I am back in the 80's, where I belong! 🙂
Amen to that. I wanna go back to the 80's. The best damn decade there ever was.
Just discovered Erik on TH-cam. Listened to this and I will always love you cover. Simply amazing. What a talent!
Best Skid Row news in over 20 years. You are fuckin' amazing dude. As a kong time SR fan I'm happy as fuck to say: Welcome Aboard dude!! Rock on!!!
Congrats Erik. I'm so stoked when I read that you are the new singer in Skid Row. Finally excited about Skid Row once again after all these years. Can't wait to hear the new album. A W E S O M E ! ! !
Congrats on the new gig with Skid Row, that’s huge and you’re just the right person for it…huge voice and a huge personality!
Erik, you are going to breathe new life into Skid Row!
This is going to be awesome. I listened to the new song “The Gang’s All Here” and am looking forward to new Skid Row music again.
Your performance gave me the chills just like the original version does. Amazing job and welll deserved honor to be the next Skid Row frontman !
Just popped in to say Congrats on the Skid Row gig! Still miss you in H.E.A.T and I was hoping you'd get back into melodic hard rock...and guess you have! Honestly, I've paid zero attention to Skid Row since Bach left but they have my attention now that they have one of the best vocalists and front men on the planet fronting them! I'm hoping things work out for all involved and they've found a singer they can stick with and make some great new music. I see a Def Leppard, Tesla and Skid Row tour in the future! That would be something!
Wow Travis... thank you... don't know how to reply to that compliment to be honest :-)
Erik..you got presence..and the three important aspects: emotion,melody and teqhnique...to do that in a high octave like that is impressive...keep it up!...Rock on!...///Anders
Every now and then, I come back here and think how amazing (and deserved) is the fact that now you sing with them. And having seen you live too, it's just amazing, your voice is too
Wow...just wow
Lets' go! The best rock singer of the current generation for sure!
Yes, the best there is 👑!
Indeed!!!!!!!
absolutely
Absolutely true!!!! 😎
I had the pleasure of seeing you perform this song on MORC 2020 and it was stellar then (cocktails and all 😉)
Been a big fan since 12 years back Erik, i just wrote to Sebastian Bach to take a look at this one, he can't miss this. Best version i've ever heard and its even better since your first version on Idol :)
What a voice, magical
Fantastic
Rick was a young boy , he had a heart of stone... Kick's ass Erik!!!
I was at Skidrow's conserts four times in the 90s and your voice is equally good as Sebastians ❤❤ He be proud ❤❤❤
Sebastian does it live{ no auto tune }. Just sayin....
@@themegasexybasterd Guessing you have never seen Erik live.
@@themegasexybasterd what a potato head comment.
LOL If u all really seen a 70s or 80s concert when we ruled the arena u would or put ur little pee pees back in ur pants and had ur mommies come pick u up. "bass cat"
@@themegasexybasterd yeah but he sounds like shit LOL
Congrats on joining Skid Row. Looking forward to a new album.
Cheers ricande!
@ I´M 45 AND HEARING YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME REMINDS ME WHEN I HEAR SKID ROW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE 90S. SO GLAD YOU BRING NEW BLOOD TO THE BAND. CAN´T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS IN ARGENTINA.
So we first heard you sing this on t.v’s “Idol”, when we were living in Sölvesborg. You are still ripping it up and we have been listening to you ever since.
Amazing voice. Big love to you from the UK.
Wow, thank you!
ERIK❤ Perfect vocals! ❤😘🇧🇷
Outstanding.
You Are Amazing I Have Never Heard Your Songs Before and I Came across Your Singing And I Thought OMG Listen To That Beautiful Voice .Wow Buddy You Truly Rock Anything You Sing.God Bless You..(Gloria)👍🏻🙏🏻😇🙂
No one can compare to young bach when singing skidrow songs, but this is the closest we can get
Amazing. The absolutely right voice for Skid Row.
Wow!
Just amazing!
I saw Skid Row in 89 opening for Bon Jovi in Toronto Ontario Canada.
Last month they came to my hometown of Burlington Ontario for the sound of music festival. I went to relive my youth not expecting to really enjoy the sound too much.
Man was I impressed! Great job guys especially Erik. What a set of pipes!
HOLY SHIT! Du blir bara bättre och bättre! Det här är en av mina favoritlåtar och du tog den till en helt ny nivå! Grymt jobbat!!
Perfect!!
Awesome
Wow amazing!!! Thank you for recording this one again.
It's an absolute masterpiece !

I was so glad to see you in the Skids…phenomenal vocals, and you fit perfectly in the group.

I have always been a Skid Row fan and thought Sebastian was the only one that could carry on the legacy. Once I saw you are the new singer for Skid Row, I think I can actually get on board and look forward to the new album in October. Thank you!!!
Honestly I love your voice so much! You are also one of the must humble people I have interviewed, a lot has changed in 18 months but hopefully we can catch up some time soon! Speedy recovery and keep these amazing covers coming! Beautifully controlled and such an angelic voice! X
grandioso!!!!
This version is absolutely amazing, my favourite one, definitely 🙏 My God what a voice.
Canta demais, cê é loko!
Immense.
You had a pop up from your TH-cam channel, "Thanks for watching". Shoot! Thanks for singing! You are blessed with that voice & I for being able to listening! Ty!!

Vilken nostalgi! Idol och wow på andra skärmen 😃 Alla gick och sjöng denna låt i skolan efter din audition kommer jag ihåg 🤘
Simplesmente Maravilhoso!!! Parabéns Erik 🇧🇷
WoW!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god you are back! I was gutted to hear you were no longer in HEAT, you really were fantastic and made that band better, your voice reminds me of a younger Johnny Gioeli from Hardline. Keep it up man!
As expected, stellar work, Erik! Could you do Robert Tepper's No Easy Way Out?
Pure awesomeness!
Wow!!!!!!!
He hit the high and it literally put chills though me and my wife whos laying next to me. Im rarely impressed. But this kid is as good as ive heard or better actually. And ive heard them all. Gotta see skid row live now. Im 63 and feel like a kid when i listened to this. Wow wow wow
The talent and voice of Erik is undeniable, I wish him lots of success in this new project with Skid Row but I wish he starts his own band and hit it out of the park like he's capable of! \m/
Amazing! 🤘🤗🇦🇷
Great voice...
Theres only one man in the entire world that does this song better than Bach, and thats Erik. This is just OUT OF THIS WORLD
Not even close to Bachs voice no one can top the original....this is good for a cover band thats it!
@@metalheart3334 Yeah, agreed, even now, Bach is still better than this guy, even though he's the frontman. lol They are not Skid Row without Bach! 🙂
@@metalheart3334 ent that the truth. Bach has a clean brilliant voice.
Mate, I have your 18 and life version downloaded and passed on every cellphone I had since the Swedish Idol, and I just found that you're the new Skid Row singer! That's one of the best news I had this year, I'm so happy for you! Sebastian was a great singer, and you're definitely the best choice to carry on his legacy! 👏 👏 👏
Totally agree
Wow !!!!!!!! Awesome !!!
I love this voice
Congratulation Erik!! You are officially Skid Row voice!!
Wow first time I’ve ever heard this guy sing. He definitely is awesome. Excited to see what he can do with Skid Row!!
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing....
Oh my God. Erik I think this is the best cover of that song I have ever heard. Such an amazing vocal range. Next song from Skid Row that I would like you to sing is "In a darkened room".
Great song and suggesiton!!
agreed for the time since sb left I will go and see them now
@ CONGRATS!
Yes.. In a darkened room /wasted time, please sir🙏
Quicksand Jesus!
Absolutely nailed it!! I remember seeing the audition years ago and being blown away. It's 10x better now. Keep up the great work. I would love to hear you sing Rainbow in the Dark, you would do Ronnie James Dio proud!
Much love from England!
Perfect
Awesome ❤❤❤❤🌹
Once again amazing ! Had super high expectations and as expected you delivered big time ! 🤘 love you man keep it up !
Thank you! One year later I found this comment. I filtered all the comments so that it's from members only and found this. Sorry for the delay! Keep rocking!
Adoré, magistral
Memories...Good ones!
Man Bass is happy knowing he inspired you to be as good as you are . I am a Peterborough boy and I approve of this message . Basses mom was my art teacher and I know she would be happy too.
That's awesome! Thank you.
Wow!! Just wow. Grew up with Skid Row, loved Baz and no-one can sing his SR era songs… that is except you!! 2021 Erik wins hands down. I agree with others on here you are the BEST male vocalist on the planet right now. ❤️❤️❤️
mind blown!!!! amazing!!!
Wow! Blown away!!
