      Rachel Bolen? Haha, just kidding. Sebastian of course..Haha, right you are. It's like when Motley Crue and Vince first parted ways and they both put out an album, the Vince Neil band album sounded much more like Motley Crue than the actual Motley Crue did and was way better IMO. At this point I don't think Sebastian needs to go backwards to that band, because he pretty much was the band.

    Skid Row were a good rock and roll band that were going nowhere back in the day. That is until Sebastian Bach joined the lineup. Then they became a great rock and roll band with Bach's incredible pipes. Sebastian elevated them to Superstar status. They would have remained unknowns playing the New Jersey Club Circuit without Sebastian Bach.

      Doc Mcgee said it best...
      "They were always the Bridesmaids but never the Bride"
      They were a damn good Rock n Roll band but never got to Headliner status due to who they were up against when they were in their prime with bands like GnR, Metallica,Aerosmith,ect.
      It's too late to try and capture that back in 2022....The Boat had already left before Bachs departure in 96.
      Bach can't hit the notes anymore,anyhow....I personally wouldn't pay to see a diminished version of the great Band I remembered.

    Skid Row not getting back together with Sebastian Bach for a tour is one of the most puzzling things in hard rock/heavy metal. I get where Snake, Rachel, and Scotti are coming from.... but I also get where Baz is coming from. I get it, they get offered a lot of money and still don't want to do it...but c'mon, us fans of the first 3 albums aren't getting any younger either. 1 little tour pleeeeaase

      Just from hearing the 3 original SR guys in interviews I think Baz should just stay solo, I used to want a reunion as well. I'm not sure it would be fun being in a band with those 3 anymore, I mean they wasted so much time talking shit about Sebastian when they could have been working things out a long time ago. The solo shows are killer, that's all anyone needs.

      I agree, but there's always a flippside. Couple things, Skid Row has money, no doubt. I'm pretty certain they accumulated most of their wealth when Baz was there, more than all of the other singers combined, that's why they can afford to say no to a reunion. I've seen many bands throughout the years with replacement players and sometimes its fine. Unfortunately, it seems that 90 percent of the fans aren't ok with SR unless the original band is intact and I'm pretty sure they know it, they gotta read the overwhelming amount of comments.

I know who's voice I originally heard back in the day, but YT videos of Erik singing the songs and the new songs, I hear Erik. Back then I did focus on all five members, but Bach WAS the focal point, he also thought he WAS the band and that was a slow screw up on his part because, it's part of the reason he got fired. Erik has no drama, isn't a loose cannon loudmouth and most of all is humble and appreciative. Skid Row is five guys now, a band and not just a one man circus with players in the background. Jmo.

    the Hardest thing is to replace a Voice. Especially a well known good voice. Motley couldn't do it, priest and maiden couldn't do it. Journey found a guy that looked and sounded just like Steve Perry but Never had the same success. Queensryche got a guy who sounds Alot like Tate but I don't think there selling venues out. Van Halen ( lMO ) had great success but let's face it EVH was on a different level than most players but even as great as he was couldn't get Gary over. This is No knock on Any of the replacement singers. Listen to those TNT albums, Tony Harnell is Freakin Awesome. Ripper and Todd are great singers. Snake and company need to realize if it wasn't for Bach I'm not sure Anybody would know who they are. The 80s were special. Suck it up and do it for the fans. For Gods sake If G&R can do it, I think skid row could too.

They tried in 2016 with the help of drummer Rob Affuso, but it only got as far as texting, when Bach demanded 50% ( if that's even true) among other ridiculous demands. They came close to saying yes, but Bach ruined it and all texting ceased after that. Rob says he actually tried three times for a reunion, but every time Bach would open his yap and say something stupid and then again no reunion. They said they will never work with him again.

    Look, Skid Row without Bach isn’t the Superstar band “Skid Row” They’re just another band. The magic 🪄 happened when Skid Row added a super star front man. It was the musical 🎵 talent of the band coming together with a gorgeous guy with pipes from another world!!! And I don’t care if Bach can still hit those high notes or not! It’s 30 some years later! Who can??? Who would ever expect him to? Not me! Can Ozzy? Can Vince Neil? Can Paul Stanley? Hell No! It’s about Skid Row WITH Bach that instantly transforms me back in time to a place when I was young and free and had the world at my feet!! I LOVE that feeling! I love going back to visit that time in my life! IMO, the problem is Dave Sabo and his wife. His Pride. Too Controlling. He knows how big they were with Bach and he doesn’t want to share that spotlight again. It’s too bad that Dave and his wife can’t put their differences aside to give the fans what they really want. A REUNION!!! Bach’s willing…

    Sebastian was a great voice, but after seeing him on MTV Cribs I realized drugs are bad. Dude is burnt. Other people outside of Skid Row have said he’s belligerent, way egocentric, and impossible to work with. Humility goes a long way.

      i met him and his ego is so huge no wonder why he doesn't like to play nice with others

    I think they still have their ego on the way. Sebastian is very open and humble at this point. They should get together. Period.

      He’s possibly the most obnoxious person I’ve ever heard speak.

    So the only way I'd go to see this upcoming Pantera tribute tour, is if Skid Row reformed and was named as support!!!
