Биография группы

Manifested in 1986, Skid Row first began as a songwriting partnership between Dave and Rachel. After a year of swapping
coplementary song ideas," as Rachel put it, the guys put together Skid Row's final line up in the fall of 1987.
For Scotti Hill, becoming a member of the rock band was inevitable. Having jammed with Bolan in a previous band and also
landing a job at the Garden State Music store where Bolan has hanging out made him perfect for the role as Skid Row's
second riff thrasher.

Another Skid Row co-founder, Dave Sabo, who had been employed by a Garden State Music store, was looking for the right
people to form a band. He was already in process of songwriting with Rachel Bolan. Dave has been infuenced by Kiss and his
guitar hero was Ace Frehley. I went to the store with a bunch of dollar bills, rolls of quarters and pennies, and I said
'I neead that Guitar.' This spunky young pup picked up his new Ibanez Iceman, went home and stood in front of the mirror
for few hours each day, played his nine chords, and saw Ace Frehley or Paul Stanley for a reflection. Dave Sabo was soon
learned how to write a song or ten, before deciding it was time to set up his own band.

Since Rob Affuso and Dave knew each other from times before, it was an easy choce as who would take the Skid's stool.
Rob's heavy banging talents are natural for Skid Row's non-bullshit edge. Rob has been trying to get into the band by
following Dave and calling him constantly. Finally Rob came to the studio and jammed on "Midnight Tornado". After, Rachel
and Dave looked at each other and asked him: "Do you want to be in the band?"

With the rest of the band set, the quest for the ultimate frontman had began. Nine months later, Sebastian Bach flew in
from Toronto after Skids sent him a tape. In the business, a match-up like Sebastian Bach,a frontman with a talent,
energy, balls bravado, and, most importantly, chemistry. A front man who would breathe, eat, sleep, and shit Skid Row! The
business, and Skid Row is known as SCORE! COUP! MIRACLE! Bands with attitude of Skid Row donґt grow on trees, and neither
do people like Baz!

Born in the Bahamas and raised in Peterborough, Canada before moving to Toronto, Canada, Baz remembers with typical flair
how the first meetings went!
When he heard "Youth Gone Wild", he knew it had been written for him to sing. They jelled as a band right away. It was
like missing pieces; they had been looking for each other. We got along, and that was the important thing.

Skid Row did their first gig together as a band, on Jan 1st, 1988 in ROCK 'N ROLL HEAVEN, a small, no more exsisting rock
club in Toronto, Canada.
That place had a Skid Row history in itself!

"Worked out" is an understatement. Ah c'mon, you all know just what it did: five million in U.S sales, while
international fever ran high whenever the Skids hit another country. Top 10 singles, magazine poll-winners, cover stars -
- Skid Row took on the world and won.
Skid Row' 89" went quadruple platinum world-wide!

That left them with the task of a follow-up album "Slave to The Grind", the first album to debut at #1 in three years on
Billboard, is another example of their commitment and attitude to the perfection of ballsy music. The band crancked out
successful jams such as, Monkey Business," QuickSand Jesus",Wasted Time" and Slave to the grind", a song which speaks out
on the evil's of becoming a slave to the system. That song is about being tired of everyday's life. If you allow your self
to be a slave to the system, then you're fucked. Slave to the grind sold more than four million units world-wide and they
headlined in over 20 countries.

Touring all 1989, opening for Bon Jovi in US then for Motley Crue in Europe, Skid Row has proved that they werent another
follow up rock band but had their own sound. Skids sometimes took over Aerosmith's shows so when Aerosmith would go on
stage they'd get booed with people yelling: Skid Row, Skid Row, Skid Row! Skids had killed lots of bands they had opened
for. Slave to the grind tour was the longest tour in a history of Skid Row.
18 Fucking months of hotel rooms went just unbelievable great for the guys!

Skid Row had played all kinds of different festivals around the world including two biggest ones, "DONINGTON" in 1992,
opening for Iron Maiden and Rio De Janeiro "Rock in Rio". Around 100.000 people had attended the show. Thats pretty much
how many fans Kiss had on their last make up date in Rio in 1983. Before ending their 18 month world tour, Skids have
played last 6 months in USA with Pantera opening!

Skids took about two years off to have some fun and to write their next disk which is called Subhuman Race". That album
is the best CD in the history of homosapians!!! Subhuman Race" is a masterpiece with different variety of styles and
sounds. Sound ranges from Pantera's to Kiss', from Alice In Chains' to even some hardcorish Biohazard type of thing! White
Zombie and Metallica riffs also present.

On the Subhuman Race tour Skid Row were opeing for Van Halen U.S dates and it went really great. Guys were playing
outdoor amphitheatres, and packing large clubs and smaller arenas on their days off. We can say Metal in 1996 isnґt dead
yet!
It will last a lot longer.

As for the present of Skid Row, guys are working on a new CD which will be hopefully be out by March. The band wants to
get on tour with Reunited Kiss as soon as possible, so if they get their guts going, we may see them hitting the stage
sometime in 1997. Sebastian has been following the Kiss reunion tour all over the USA. He has attended the Detroit
Kick-off , four nights at the NY Madison Square Gardens with the rest of the band and in his home town Toronto.
