You nailed it on the head. The song made headlines when it came out for being one of the first of its kind to directly address child molestation. It’s an important song in the history rock and metal music for this reason. Definitely brought Skid Row into the main stream conversation to that point as something more than just another rock metal band.
Sebastián was after a choir boy 👦..... good possibilities is happened to him .. prolly y it came out ... idk makes sense to me but idk if he's ever been asked directly or not
Also it’s about S.xe traffic. Ing Nobody was listening back then, now you know why they were forced to break apart, stop them from bringing light to issues like this, there’s always an agenda
In a darkened room beyond the reach of God`s faith lies the wounded the shatered remains of love betrayed. And the innocence of a child is bought and sold in the name of the damned. The rage of the angles left silent and cold. Great lyrics J. Thanks
Dude, his lyrics on some of these songs on this album are so profound and amazing! Like QS Jesus: A slow parade of wind That blows through trees That wilted with the season's children". Just Beautiful!
One of my favorites from this band. Just a note: this was Dimebag Darrell's favorite Skid Row song; his band Pantera opened for Skid Row on their Slave to the Grind tour...those were some crazy shows!
@@madj3202911238 Agree on the coolness. IMO the Abbott brothers were welcoming and approachable from that tour through to Damage Plan. Vinnie remained that way with HellYeah. They are sorely missed.
49 and in my time also. It was so much better then, we simply tried to work, raise a family and had great music. Our music had meaning unlike the song FRIDAY WICH IS THE WHOLE MEANING OF THE SONG... REPEATED OVER, OVER, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.. my God what a waste of recording time. I wish I could go back. My God, with what I know now... I would be very well off, I would have put in the work and retired at 30!!!!!
This is why we like you. You listen carefully and do your best, and really have a good intuition and genuine curiosity for what songs are really about.
I have skid row on an actual vinyl my mother bought new. When she seen me getting more into her "era" of music as a teen she gave me her old albums and taught me how to keep them crisp and clean. Also have my dads original motley Crue albums. Now almost 30 myself I look for these old records. They seem to be making a comeback but the new records dont sound the same to me. I prefer the originals
OMG!!! I can't express my gratitude for you reacting to this song. I used to sit in my bedroom and cry with this song on repeat. Thank you for everything you do!
Skid Row was my favorite band during my teen years. I had posters of Sebastian all over my room. Thank you for doing their best ones. Time to dive into Shinedown 😉
U are correct good sir, this song is about child abuse. The Row is one of the greatest bands ever. All their songs have meaning, not to mention probably the greatest rock singer ever to live.
This man’s vocals have always been above the rest. I’m listening to his book said he started singing real young in the choir and loved singing his whole life. I think he’s been on broadway if not mistaken.
Originally the band had a fully produced video for this song. They got together to watch a tape of it and everyone hated it. They all left the room but Sebastian hung back and grabbed the VHS tape from the machine and kept it. So he supposedly has the only existing copy of the original video for this song. I don't know if it was destroyed in Hurricane Irene, along with the rest of his Skid Row archives.
Here's a couple of suggestions-- WHITE LION When the Children Cry. Hugely popular late 80's rock song most have forgotten about, softer quiter sensitive song. The other is JUDAS PRIEST A Touch of Evil. Soaring vocals in that one as well and definitely a British Metal vibe. Hope you'll give these a shot, would be an interesting reaction
White Lion's unfortunately small catalog is a goldmine and Vito Bratta's unfulfilled musical output is one of the worst crying shames in rock and roll.
This version of the song with that break in the middle going to live action, really takes you out of the moment. I would listen to the album version when you get a chance, much better for a song as powerful as this.
Yes yes yes!! You are solid my brother! Im new with you, but I think it’s tribute to u and your channel. Many of us love your venture with Skid Row. WE LOVE IT!!! 💯💯 You have listened to our requests, and have followed thru! It’s why you have 650 THOUSAND Subscribers. You listen!!! So now after going thru the main arsenal of Sebastian and “THE Best” that Skid Row put out, hands down, this dude could sing anything??? Right! And the Lyrics are deep! Absolutely part of their whole existence! Love your versatility. Let’s keep it rolling!
In '89 they were with Bon Jovi ....they were hungry then and the shows were great. The song is about " child abuse and traffiking". Check out the line" innocence of a child thats bought and sold " I am sure you read the lyrics by now. I think the line about the fear of running into the abuser is crazy sick. To me it means nothing happened to them. I have loved all the Skid Row songs. Keep it up.
Pat Benetar also did a powerful song about child abuse called HELL IS FOR CHILDREN. She said it was the most important song her and her husband Neil ever wrote. 🔥🔥
Jamel! Love your reactions! My 3 daughters and I went down a Jamel Rabbit hole yesterday! Responding to your Mike Patton question of “How many voices does he do?” Patton is a beast. Faith no more is just one of his many outfits. I’d love to see a reaction to Mr. Bungle: “Carry Stress in the Jaw” (mainly the second half- it’s a 2 part song. Mike Patton at his weirdest)
Every WORD he sings in this song.. is POINT On! And this quality you can hear every detail perfectly!! As well as Scotty Hill’s SOLO! 😎 and let there be light.. on this FANTASTIC BAND!! 💖💖🖤🎼🎼🎶🎶✨✨🎸🎸🌟🌟LOVE SKID ROW!
It's saying in a way imagine being so scared of the very thing that you are meant to love. And that fear is a darkness that this child cannot escape and only wants to wake somewhere else where there is a light so they can for once feel true love away from the emotional darkness of their own so call protectors.
My brother would play these songs just simply listening once or twice... I played drums some bass and a good friend played rhythm. Good times, we stayed out of trouble just playing music & games at home. Much safer than running streets, we would roll up a hog leg and drink couple beers then we would mellow out then do what we loved... Music. I miss my brother so much and this song brings back all those old but great memories of a simpler time.
Omg I used to watch this video on repeat in high school. I love Sebastian. And everything about this video was just awesome. The way he took control of that performance.. the lyrics.. his vocals.. always one of my all time favorites. So amazing
As someone that has a very close friend that was abused as a child, this song pretty much sums it up from what she's told me. She was 5 years old when it started and thus had no idea that there was anything wrong going on until she got older as it was portrayed to her as normal. This was her favorite Skid Row song as it spoke to her about what she went through especially the "Please forgive me cause I know not what I do" line as she had no idea she was really being abused by her family members.
Fun fact: skid row became Thin-Lizzy He fronted several bands as a lead vocalist, including Skid Row alongside Gary Moore, before learning the bass guitar and forming Thin Lizzy in 1969
I hope the guys in Skid Row have seen these. They all still play and tour. Well skid row without orginal drummer and singer..but Baz still tours and Drummer has his own gig with soul system orchestras... i have always hoped for a reunion with all og members. At least for few tour dates or big show in L.A or sumin. Eveb if its virtual gig with just few songs..sumin..i know Rob affuso joined Sebastians band om drums for Skid song when sebastian was out on tour that was cool to see. Anyways thanks for doing these skid vids. Bringing back memeries of my teen yes which i feel are some of the best yrs of my life. Very good memeries and the skids are big part of them.🤘🏼
@@thabudmaster for sure. Yah not holding my breath. But man, would be killer. Rob has stated before he would be down but not sumin thats been talked about. Again even if it was for one time, one night only would br fukn awesome! Ya never know!
Hi Jamal, people speculate on this and every other Skid Row song that touched them... listen to this song again and think of Judas' betrayal of Christ... the kiss of love becomes a lie. This fear of running unto you, please let there be light... Out of God's light is the ultimate punishment... Just words for thought from an 80's rock star who was there. Peace out.
Oh yeah, the lyrics of the inocense of a child is bought and sold, in the name of the damned, the angels left silent and cold The name of.the damned is Satan. God's child was sold for 30 pieces of silver... more food for thought
The Sound of Freedom. This song should be in the movie! I hear they're making a part 2,..so i DM'd Jim Caviezel and suggested he hook up with Bach on the next flick
Heavy metal doesn't shy away from the heavy subjects. That's why they call it 'heavy metal'. You should try the original studio version of "Beyond the Realms of Death" by Judas Priest.
I've made it through an abusive and loveless childhood, ended up in foster homes at 12 yrs old.. this is one of the best songs that shares the emotion of those times. There's 4 songs that I know of that are clearly about abuse that are deep meaning to me SKID ROW - In a Darkend Room FLOTSAM and JETSAM - Wading through the Darkness PAT BENITAR- Hell is For Children and THE CRANBERRIES- Zombie
That was an odd vid. The first half was the studio version, then where the volume jumped up it was from that LIVE recording for the rest of it. 🤷🏼♂️ I guess they wanted to show that he could do that high scream LIVE. After seeing him myself, twice, I had no doubt! 🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥
Dave Sabo was a very underrated guitarist. If Skid Row had hit the scene in the middle 80s, he'd been listed among the greats of the time, but because they came out late when grunge was taking off, he doesn't get the respect he deserves.
You're very perceptive when it comes to getting the messages of a song 😭 Like you get it pretty much immediately and it's very satisfying. Yeah this song is about child abuse & how it can mess with a child's head. Love your Skid Row reactions, for another band suggestion I'd love to see some Alice In Chains reactions, specifically Love Hate Love, Man In the Box, and Would ! 🫶🏽
This song basically encompasses the reason how some psychopath's are made. Did you review Quicksand jesus yet? It IS without a doubt one of the ten greatest songs EVER RECORDED.
Super suggest the band Warlock! They rule and singer Doro Pesch is the Queen of Metal! 🖤🤘 (mentioned this in another comment but for good measure haha). Songs: -All We Are (awesome vid, song is an anthem, Jamel would love the message) -Without You (beautiful/powerful ballad 🖤) -I Rule the Ruins (epic) -Dark Fade (rad/badass/fast tempo)
YOUR CLOSE , BUT THE SONG IS ABOUT THE ALLURE OF BIG LIGHTS , DRUGS , AND BAD PEOPLE . THE YOUNG PERSONS FIRST KISS IS JUST A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL SEDUCED BY THE GLITZ AND GLAMOR, THAT FALLS IN LOVE , ENDS UPBWITH A BROKEN HEART AND SHE IS A RUNAWAY , ON THE STREETS OF THE BIG CITY , TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND ENDS UP ON DRUGS IN A DARKENED ROOM , AND ONLY THE ANGELS HEAR HER TEARS .... LET THERE BE LIGHT , HOPE ....
Love your channel dude!🤟 You are bringing people together with your love of music brotha!!! I have a request. I would love to hear your reaction to a fav song of mine. Chris Rea - The Road To Hell. You have to find the long version tho. It will give you shivers. Keep music alive man🤟🤟🤟🤟
Being molested is a major depressant. I have often had a niggling thought that he might have been molested in his own childhood (there's a noticeable difference in their writing styles, this is Baz...) I was trying to figure out where his temper came from, because he idolized his dad and mom, big on family. Then I heard this song-- it's all but confirmed IMO (there's always uncle so n' so). The whole thing is sad and beautiful! Doing that to a child... well there should be no statute of limitations because the damage is for *life*! Again, JMO. Aside from that, sad but beautiful song, great guitar work and Baz's vocals just *beyond* amazing, as usual! Thank you Jamal! Take good care hon!
My favorite Skid Row song wasn’t as popular because it’s from a later album after the grunge scene replaced metal, but if you have a chance please check out “Breakin Down”! Great song, powerful message. Love your reactions!
Thank you! Love your Skid Row reactions!! Slave to the Grind, and Piece of Me are other songs you should do. Such an awesome band. Bach is amazing, even today. Saw them open for Guns N Roses, and headline with Pantera opening. Was gonna see Bach solo at the end of March, but the pandemic hit.
Great review of an incredible track! I’ve not a huge hair metal fan as I prefer bands like Tool, Soundgarden, Pink Floyd, etc., but this is such an amazing song. 👌🏻
if he means what he is singing...and he NEVER participated...he gains not only MY RESPECT...BUT, LOVE...LOVE a man or woman who is A PATRIOT and one who DEFENDS THE CHILDREN and those lost in HUMAN TRAFFICKING
There is an amount of interpretation to this song which I think is very important. I loved it when it came out, but as a breakup song for teens. The lyrics play very well as that breakup song -shattering the past and the future- and the lost and betrayed feeling you have in those lonesome, dark moments. The intent of the song was to shine a light on something clearly far worse. Either way, boy howdy did Sebastian Bach nail this one out of the park on the studio recording. Just amazing vocals.

One of the best voices of rock.
The best.
His voice is like ice!
My opinion having blessed to be a teen in this era Axl Rose couldn’t compete with Sebastian Bach’s voice. Not even close!!! Skid Row 🤘 rock on!!!
And Broadway

Wasn’t just molestation but abuse as a whole.
Specifically child molestation in the catholic church.

Right On Brothas🙌🏾
My favorite too.
@@jamelakajamal Uriah Heep The Magician's Birthday great song to react to? this will send you on a great adventurous trip
Skid Row was the first band I was in to all the way back in sixth grade. Sebastian has an amazing voice and is criminally underrated IMO.
I saw Bas perform 2 years ago and he still sounds incredible.
A really heavy tune about the abuse of children.
Thank you so much for going on a Skid Row reaction streak. Great band, great vocalist.
You can review EVERY song on this album and never be disappointed
Damn, he was so pretty. I had an immense crush on him in middle school. This is bringing me back.
This is why we like you. You listen carefully and do your best, and really have a good intuition and genuine curiosity for what songs are really about.

Skid Row was my favorite band during my teen years. I had posters of Sebastian all over my room. Thank you for doing their best ones.
Time to dive into Shinedown 😉
Shinedown does indeed have some epic songs.
@@Rikalonius love them. Sebastian had one of the best voices in the late 80”s early 90”s and (IMO) Brent has one of the best voices in Rock today.
So many great Shinedown songs, deep rabbit hole
I had his posters up in my room too.
U are correct good sir, this song is about child abuse. The Row is one of the greatest bands ever. All their songs have meaning, not to mention probably the greatest rock singer ever to live.

i haven't started watching this, but I was so hoping you would review Darkened Room. I really like your Skid Row reactions.
great vocalist, sounds the same when he talks on the trailer park boys years later, hes just gifted
Originally the band had a fully produced video for this song. They got together to watch a tape of it and everyone hated it. They all left the room but Sebastian hung back and grabbed the VHS tape from the machine and kept it. So he supposedly has the only existing copy of the original video for this song.
I don't know if it was destroyed in Hurricane Irene, along with the rest of his Skid Row archives.
Great tune... should check out the studio version if you liked that ending scream.... Bach.. just a master vocalist..
Seems like it was the studio track and then cut into a live version.
@@1RungAtATime this is how Skid row released this video. I rember owning the home videos back in the day and this video was on it
I agree. I respect wish they hadn't edited the studio scream on this video, tbh it fucks it up
This song, is in fact, about child abuse.
It's a beautiful but heart breaking song.
God Bless 💙
Here's a couple of suggestions-- WHITE LION When the Children Cry. Hugely popular late 80's rock song most have forgotten about, softer quiter sensitive song. The other is JUDAS PRIEST A Touch of Evil. Soaring vocals in that one as well and definitely a British Metal vibe. Hope you'll give these a shot, would be an interesting reaction

My fav skid row song
Saw Bon Jovi and Skid Row in 89.
I saw them the same year! I saw them in PA where did you see them?
@@virginiawheeler1494 Tacoma Washington.
@@GlennTheSadMarinersFan I thought Skid Row was better than Bon Jovi.
Me too..in OC. California 🤘🏼
In '89 they were with Bon Jovi ....they were hungry then and the shows were great.
The song is about " child abuse and traffiking". Check out the line" innocence of a child thats bought and sold "
I am sure you read the lyrics by now. I think the line about the fear of running into the abuser is crazy sick. To me it means nothing happened to them.
I have loved all the Skid Row songs. Keep it up.
Such a shame that they imploded and were never able to bury the hatchet, they could have been huge. Too much, too young I guess.
one could say.... youth gone wild? =P Ill see myself out =)
Could have been huge(er).
Omgosh! I so loved this band. Sebastian Bach's voice and the music 🤤💜 . Thank you for doing a reaction video to this song.
Thanks for reviewing, anything off this album was POWERFUL! The guitar work just oozed emotion- made his voice even better
Thanks so much! You made my day since I was one that requested this song. I love your channel and you're the best!
Pat Benetar also did a powerful song about child abuse called HELL IS FOR CHILDREN. She said it was the most important song her and her husband Neil ever wrote. 🔥🔥
Freshman year...This was fire!!! And cathartic...
Thanks Jamel, Welcome To the Skid Row Family

Bro those guitar models on your wall are sick!
"The innocence. Of a child is bought and sold" Way back then they were telling us of child sex trafficking.
This.😎😎😎😎 This was the one I really couldn't wait for you to do by Skid Row🎵🎶🎸
Still love this song after all these years, seb's vocals are different level. Amazing song.
One of The best heavy metal singer
As someone that has a very close friend that was abused as a child, this song pretty much sums it up from what she's told me. She was 5 years old when it started and thus had no idea that there was anything wrong going on until she got older as it was portrayed to her as normal. This was her favorite Skid Row song as it spoke to her about what she went through especially the "Please forgive me cause I know not what I do" line as she had no idea she was really being abused by her family members.

I hope the guys in Skid Row have seen these. They all still play and tour.

THE YOUNG PERSONS FIRST KISS IS JUST A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL SEDUCED BY THE GLITZ AND GLAMOR, THAT FALLS IN LOVE , ENDS UPBWITH A BROKEN HEART AND SHE IS A RUNAWAY , ON THE STREETS OF THE BIG CITY , TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND ENDS UP ON DRUGS IN A DARKENED ROOM , AND ONLY THE ANGELS HEAR HER TEARS ....
LET THERE BE LIGHT , HOPE ....

One of my favs
This song means so much to me.
I'm sorry to hear that.
One of the best singers of all time
I’m pretty sure the “darkened room” is his depression, and the innocence of the child was his own.
Being molested is a major depressant. I have often had a niggling thought that he might have been molested in his own childhood (there's a noticeable difference in their writing styles, this is Baz...) I was trying to figure out where his temper came from, because he idolized his dad and mom, big on family. Then I heard this song-- it's all but confirmed IMO (there's always uncle so n' so). The whole thing is sad and beautiful! Doing that to a child... well there should be no statute of limitations because the damage is for *life*! Again, JMO. Aside from that, sad but beautiful song, great guitar work and Baz's vocals just *beyond* amazing, as usual! Thank you Jamal! Take good care hon!
I don’t disagree, I’m merely pointing out that whatever the darkness is, the child in the song is him as far a as I can tell
I love the break before the high note!
My favorite Skid Row song wasn’t as popular because it’s from a later album after the grunge scene replaced metal, but if you have a chance please check out “Breakin Down”! Great song, powerful message. Love your reactions!
Xyz : when i find love !!!!!!
Thank you! Love your Skid Row reactions!! Slave to the Grind, and Piece of Me are other songs you should do.
Such an awesome band. Bach is amazing, even today. Saw them open for Guns N Roses, and headline with Pantera opening. Was gonna see Bach solo at the end of March, but the pandemic hit.
That's my hero! 🔥🤘
Great review of an incredible track! I’ve not a huge hair metal fan as I prefer bands like Tool, Soundgarden, Pink Floyd, etc., but this is such an amazing song. 👌🏻
It's about child molesting and the fact that they had the balls to write about it. 100% Real Shit! Kudos to The Row for having the balls to record it
if he means what he is singing...and he NEVER participated...he gains not only MY RESPECT...BUT, LOVE...LOVE a man or woman who is A PATRIOT and one who DEFENDS THE CHILDREN and those lost in HUMAN TRAFFICKING
The video switched rather abruptly from the studio version to a live version. I remember this video when it came out...it was cool as shit.
The greatest voice of all time
There is an amount of interpretation to this song which I think is very important. I loved it when it came out, but as a breakup song for teens. The lyrics play very well as that breakup song -shattering the past and the future- and the lost and betrayed feeling you have in those lonesome, dark moments. The intent of the song was to shine a light on something clearly far worse. Either way, boy howdy did Sebastian Bach nail this one out of the park on the studio recording. Just amazing vocals.
@3:08, he said the innocence of a child bought and sold... hun
You nailed the theme Jamel...
Хороший ты парень Джамал,будешь в России заезжай в гости!
