I've been a Skid Row fan since I was 7 (I'm 39 now), and that's the first time I'm impressed with a skid row singer other than Sebastian. Very good, Erik!
I entered here to state that only Sebastian can sing properly and finally I was amazed by the video. The voice is exactly like on the record and I really regret not looking up Eric's career. 🤔
Wow. I was expecting to hate on this guy but after listening to this, I'm pretty blown away. This guy actually rocks pretty damn hard and a really strong voice. Really good job!!
@@uisselamat2574 What? He's taking Chemo???? I did not know that. And performing so in the pocket with such energy like this? There IS NO choice but have mad respect for this guy.....
He is always like this. Of course he is happy to sing in Skid Row, but under the 13 years I´ve seen him on stage he always smiles and sings his lungs out.
Props to the frontman. Trying to even begin to hold up a band like Skid Row following in the footsteps of the wild man Sebastian is a task that aside for only the bravest Of the brave. This guy did a damn good job.
the album is out and its pretty damn good i must say. as a former no bach no skid row guy, damn i cant wait to hear what they make in the future... new album kicks
I love Sebastian and I believed that was impossible for skid row to find a singer that nails it like him. But this time.. ohh this time.. I think they found it. Most difficult songs to sing in rock history and this guy kills it. Nice!
Erik Grönwall won Swedish Idol in 2009. He audition with 18 and Life and it still to this day is one of the best audition in Swedish Idol history. He had is own band for 10 years. In 2021 he got diagnosed with cancer, lymphocytic leukemia. When Skid Row contacted him to sing with the band he was still weak after his chemo. Here is the video from his audition in Swedish Idol: ruclips.net/video/Mkx5TU48A2U/видео.html
Good Luck in you're new frontship!.... I'm 59.... yup... I saw the best in the 80's... and you're bringing that fuckin kick-ass back.....!!!!!!! ❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍
In all fairness he is 34 vs some of these front men in original bands are in their 50/60s. They can’t be expected to hit those high notes like when they were younger. I have to say it’s ok if you need help to hit the high notes but if you can’t even carry the tune anymore then it is time to hang it up. Don’t ruin our memories.
@@davydarkohi3016 It’s too bad Sebastian wasn’t Sebastian either. He could only pull off 70% of the studio work live. This kid is like the albums live. Now Bach’s studio work is right up there with Halford, Tate, & Dickinson…but live, he left a bit to be desired.
Bruh I’m named after Sebastian. He hasn’t had it. This dude emulates very fucking well. He naturally sounds like it. Like Marc Martel with Freddie Mercury
I went to this concert a week after this performance.I didn't think they would be as good without Sabastian bach.boy was I wrong.and I must say the zapos theater had excellent sound to it.scorpions were awesome too
I completely can't get over just how good he is!! I mean he hits every single note perfectly in key while walking around the stage, and his tone, vocal range and power, is truely amazing to listen to!
Hes fuckin AMAZING I rocked Skid Row since i was 17 speeding around Queens NY in my Camaro BLARING Skid Rows First album on my benzi box ALPINE ..SIGH....those were the dayz....this guy is a perfect replacement . i love Sebaz of course but this guy carrys the flag...
This singer nailed it! Don't argue with me. I listened to their albums 1000s of times. Believe me, if I thought he wasn't cutting it, I mean killing it, I'd be the first dickhead to attack him. I can't imagine anyone coming closer to the rock God master front maniac singer/screamer SB.
So good to see a band that was part of my childhood and adolescence return with everything turning around and making the biggest success. And to see how the band has matured with the new singer and how they are in tune and everyone with an incredible stage presence .
Ahhhh memories.... 18 & Life was my favourite song as a kid. Everyone else was into Madonna, NKOTB etc & I was a little metalhead in my skin tight black jeans, New Metal boots etc. Not much has changed - I’m just an older metalhead now. I seen Sebastian Bach perform when I was travelling in in Sydney, Australia years ago & he was amazing (although he looked totally whacked out). This new guy seems really good. He has that Seb kinda voice needed for these songs while still just being himself. Great to see Skid Row are still going 😎
Guys actually solid and can sing. Love it. You can tell he grew up listening to Bach... Dudes voice is HEAVILY influenced off 80s vocalists. Definitely the best vocalist theyve had since Bach
This is the best that I've heard them sound since Sebastian left. I don't know if this is a new singer or what but you guys are finally rocking hard once again. Awesome job !!!
Sebastian Bach always and forever be Skid Row, , Sebastian is vocaly trained to hit high notes, he is frekin amazing. the singer in this video done a great job,
@@oliversmith2511 Sebastian eas fired back in... Omg... it was some time in the mid 90's ... because the band kept fighting internal battles and had massive creative and production disagreements that just messed up everything in terms of music and album creation, and the fight went on for days on end... abd Bach was usually the firestarter, stubbornly like a childish dictator because "He was the sound"...
I have been waiting for someone to have been born into this world with an amazing natural high voice and then learn how to sing even higher by idolising Sebastian as he grew up singing these songs to then join Skid Row and be as good if not better than Sebastian ever was and revitalise these tired old guys and make them play better than they have for 25 years, this is awesome to see this happening I bet Sebastian is shaking in his boots, how must it feel to be Sebastian right now knowing someone is singing his songs better than he ever did and absolutely kicking ass and making him look like a real old has been. I hope this lights a fire under Mr Bach's ass and he gets himself in shape and works on getting his voice back to the way it was instead the horrible tone he sings with nowadays, Sebastian was brilliant back in the day don't get me wrong but it's been sad watching him deteriorate and become unrecognisable visually and vocally, I can't watch Sebastian sing nowadays as he is sadly disappointing and has lost what he once had.
Hes brought skid row back into the limelight ..yes i do love original singer but he brought them back alive like new singer journey did but lead singer queen will never be freddy ever
@@johnhutchison9782 hi. I’ll have to ask her. She told me this years ago and I was already aware he was a professional bass player who often travelled abroad on tours. So now I’m interested to find out.
Arnel is good in tone but he puts emphasis in the wrong places as if he doesn't understand what he's singing properly. That was early on at least, he may have learned to speak English better. This Erik guy nails SB's parts like a champ.
No wonder Sabastian Back gets all salty and defensive when talking about Skid Row.....WOW, this guy has taken Skid Row and resurrected this band!!!!! His vocals are PHEMONENAL!! Skid Row songs no longer belong to Sabastian!!!! Damn they sound exactly like they did in the 90's, even better!!!

Follow erik gronwalls page. Has some amazing shit he does.
Sebastian rocked the 90s, but you will rock the rest of time! Peace

What ever happened to Sebastian? Is he still alive?
He's sort of adequate - not great; nice try though
Exactly, agreed.
@@posernaphtali19 looks like it... didnt know he wasnt skid row anymore XD i was wondering where his hair was and then see this is a different singer
Yes
You can see that Erik has spent countless hours listening to Sebastian! I’m impressed
Holy shit that frontman is good! Now the Skids need to put out a new album!
Release in October ,listen the single The Gangs all here! Erik is Awesome!
the album is out and its pretty damn good i must say.
as a former no bach no skid row guy, damn i cant wait to hear what they make in the future... new album kicks

Ok, that makes sense since his voice doesn't have the power at this stage. He has the range though.
This is the Bachest guy you have ever had. My warmest congrats guys😊💪🎸🎉
Proud to be a Swede like Erik. Must be a privilige to front a band like this. Great voice, great character.
What a perform haven't sounded is beautiful since 80's like stazing wow
Good Luck in you're new frontship!.... I'm 59.... yup... I saw the best in the 80's... and you're bringing that fuckin kick-ass back.....!!!!!!! ❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍
this old man saw them with the greatest band ever.. Pantera. My two favorite bands at the time. so.. Skids and Scorpions? hell yeah!
Pantera 🤘
Just great all around especially the vocals, so many of these guys have nothing left especially up in that register. Top notch.

I have to say it’s ok if you need help to hit the high notes but if you can’t even carry the tune anymore then it is time to hang it up. Don’t ruin our memories.
Sebastian was the absolute greatest singer of his time never forget what he actually contributed that carries on to this day
He's no Sebastian

FINALLY keep this guy Snake ! this is the guy !!!
I remember this song as a kid, absolutely rocked it out!
@Ducati 749
Which song???
There were two songs in this video clip!
18 and life
He’s good! Damn! This dude is singing this song perfect!
Hes fuckin AMAZING I rocked Skid Row since i was 17 speeding around Queens NY in my Camaro BLARING Skid Rows First album on my benzi box ALPINE ..SIGH....those were the dayz....this guy is a perfect replacement . i love Sebaz of course but this guy carrys the flag...
Wow! Singer is ridiculously great!!!
I’m 16 and I love skid row I listen to classic rock when I’m in the school hallways
The show must go on and this singer did an excellent job, I'd buy a ticket.
Erik was fantastic in H.E.A.T. and now he is even better in Skid Row, he is by far the best hard rock front man and signer nowadays!
You might be getting a little carried away there dude
Hahahahahahaha!!!! Holy flying fuck.
He's good...
...but not _that_ good!
Long Live Skid Row, Nice that there still waving the flag.Im impressed.
Hell yes ....WOW wow great singer....perfect job good good
Was at this show. Didn’t know what to expect. Skid Row delivered the goods
WOW! Vocals were awesome! Band sounds great!
Way better than sebastian would be now
Snyggt sjunget Erik! Det är imponerande att du kom med i ditt drömband. Tack för ett fantastiskt framträdande!
What a singer! This is the best thing happening for Skid Row for a very long time!
Finally! A replacement worthy of fronting this awesome band.
What an amazing singer... YESSSSS
This singer nailed it! Don't argue with me. I listened to their albums 1000s of times. Believe me, if I thought he wasn't cutting it, I mean killing it, I'd be the first dickhead to attack him. I can't imagine anyone coming closer to the rock God master front maniac singer/screamer SB.

Damn guy is nailing high register. Keep going!
This Vocalist Power like a Young Sebastian Bach
Im kid 90's skid row top fan . I am now 49 yo.. skidrow never fade.. 💪💪💪
Made me feel 18 again 🤘
So good to see a band that was part of my childhood and adolescence return with everything turning around and making the biggest success. And to see how the band has matured with the new singer and how they are in tune and everyone with an incredible stage presence .
Holy he’s got the voice. Awesome range
I love Skid row
Best signer ever, so so so awesome to see him back on stage. He deserves this all so much ❤️ I'm so happy for him. 🖤

I hope this lineup keeps going! Frickin" awesome!
They sounded great. Glad I caught them at the Vegas residency. Amazing sound at that Zappos theater.
Sounds killer guys, been a fan since 89
He started his career with this song in swedish idol 13 years ago, pretty cool that he found his way to Skid Row
He'd never imagined he was gonna be a member of Skid Row when he sang this song in Swedish Idol. What a life!
They finally found someone as good as Sebastian at being Sebastian let's hope we get a new album that can match Slave to the Grind.
I am happy for them am going to see them in 2 weeks. But he is not as good as a 1991 Sebastian Bach. But he is as good as you are going to get
😳🤣
Haaa match "slave to the grind" good luck. This is pathetic. Sebastian is skid row. This is borderline stolen valor
@@justinkassinger8238👍👍👍

While I still miss Bach, you did a pretty good job with a replacement. I would come to see you live!
Guys actually solid and can sing. Love it. You can tell he grew up listening to Bach... Dudes voice is HEAVILY influenced off 80s vocalists. Definitely the best vocalist theyve had since Bach
Clean vocals , spot on , band as tight as ever . Keep the Slave to the Grind Train rolling…..
Yes!!!!! He's still has it sounding pretty damn great!!!!!
Who?? SEB or eric
This is the best that I've heard them sound since Sebastian left. I don't know if this is a new singer or what but you guys are finally rocking hard once again. Awesome job !!!
It's their actual singer, joined Skid Row this year. His name is Erik Grönwall, previously from H.E.A.T.
SORRY to disagree. I don't think we are hearing the same thing .
Then clean the wax out of you're ears..
ruclips.net/video/C2w3cok19jo/видео.html same guy actually
Sebastian Bach always and forever be Skid Row, , Sebastian is vocaly trained to hit high notes, he is frekin amazing.
the singer in this video done a great job,
Damn!!! The frontman is beast! Now i love this skidrow more than!
Wow! This guy is killer. He's got the "it" factor. Finally Snake you did it. (Found someone)
He is indeed good....... some new material will be the definitive answer.
@@DutchVai check out "Gang's all Here" on RUclips. That's pure proof this guy is a killer singer!
@@antimurphy8212 yeah man that was good...... and as I understand it, he only met the band in person a few days prior to this performance ?
@@DutchVai yes. 4 days I believe.
Yeah as much as I'd love a reunion, this guy is killing it🤘
He's not Sebastian. He's not singing like Sebastian. But he is fitting in perfectly with Skid Row. Which is the important thing
Great job. Love it. Welcome back Skid Row. 💪💪💪💪
This guy knocked it outta the park !!
I'm shocked. Good for them. They finally have a legit replacement for their vocalist. Even his tone and tambre is similar. Excellent work.
Agree, his voice is very similar to that of Sabastian Bach, almost like a clone, it sounds great.
What happened to Sabastion? I wondered if it was him by the sound. But looking at him I thought that can't be him can it?

Nice job guys......You have a keeper with this guy
Well if the younger generation don't listen to such vocalists ...you will never know what guys are missing ...🤘🤘🤘🤘
The live vocals are top notch. Looks like Skid Row has the goods to make it all happen. This guy fits in as well as Al Pineda does with Journey.

Wow this guy is amazing it's like I was listening to the original line up
I've seen Skid Row with Bach & Sollinger and after seeing this I will see this version of skid row very soon!!!!!
Sebastian called and said he wants his voice back, Scott Weiland also called and he wants his clothes back
Gene Simmons called, but put the phone down.
What an un original comment come up with something new
I remember when this song was released, 18 seemed so grown up. I'm 47 now and it brings me back a few decades.
The singer did a great job. That's the only spot in Skid Row that is very difficult to properly replace.
This song brings back some memories 👍
My favorit song by skid row. Unreal how good he is. Massive Yes to him
매일 듣던 노래였는데... 세월이 많이 흘렀네
여전히 좋다!♡♡♡
No wonder Sabastian Back gets all salty and defensive when talking about Skid Row.....WOW, this guy has taken Skid Row and resurrected this band!!!!!
His vocals are PHEMONENAL!! Skid Row songs no longer belong to Sabastian!!!!
Damn they sound exactly like they did in the 90's, even better!!!
Damn what an awesome singer.. really surprised me in 2022 gave it all
Sounds awesome 🤟
Simply AWESOME this new singer!!!
Holy S, Skid Row must be so happy 👍🏻
A new singer has really great voice,congratulation and I wish you all the best band Skid Row and a new singer too.
Like I said earlier, Erik has defied The odds against him. He still looks like a young man and his voice is like a fine wine 🍷, the older he gets the better his voice gets. He's a freaken beast of nature with his voice.
