@@hugolafhugolaf agree with everything you said until 2022, new singer ERIK has changed everything, I have always been team bach, and nvr thought they could Do with Sebastian, but honestly ERiK now is better than Sebastian now, inSebastians prime maybe not, but Erik is in middle of his prime. And only getting better, bach can still sing, but like with journey and foreigner, stage presence is better now because he has the youth… gone wild 😎 lol, but seriously , he is the best singer for them, I never thought would care to see them without bach, and would’ve rather seen Bach solo before, but now I would rather see them then bach solo anymore.
@@MiNiMeMiniatureDrumCovers yeah the new 2022 Skid Row is the best they've been in decades. If we can't have Rob and Bach..the guys they have now are amazing.
@@MiNiMeMiniatureDrumCovers I agree with you, couldn’t care less about them for ages, but the new singer has brought the band back alive. Then again, their whole setlist consists almost completely of the songs from the first two albums, and maybe Sebastian is a lot to handle, but without him, they would never have made it. Saw them 3 times in their prime, and honestly it ALMOST completely him. He made them all millionaires, no question. So in my books those three guys are cowards, especially Rachel. He deserves an rotten egg shower.
Rob was a student in my class in high school and played football on the high school team I helped coach. He was a great student. He was a great person then and still is. He came back to Wallkill High School and visited several times to talk to members of the high school music classes. Hard to believe he is 54.
i was at party had to be about 30+ years ago and my cousin( I was visiting him in Wallkill) was like "see that guy over there? he is the drummer for skid row.
Meet Rob and Sebastian Back in 1990 in our home Club In Toronto. Rob was A Gentleman back then and evermore so now. Sebastian = As always a Bundle of Energy and a Great Practical Joker. Flies
Sebastian-- a total dick in truth. I met Snake Scotti and Rachel for free after a show. Sebastian charged close to $200 for a meet and greet. He doesn't care about the fans.
I believe I met Rob in my friend's basement way back in the 80's while my friend's band Wasted Angel were practicing in Wallkill NY. Dave & Sammy Torres' house.
Rob is under rated because he was phenomenal! Would love too see him get back in Skid Row, but since they’ll never get back together with Bach, it won’t happen. All Bach had to do was keep his mouth shut, which isn’t in his list of abilities lol would be awesome though! Rob, you are awesome man!
If Skid Row ever decides to get back to the classic lineup it's gotta be all five, meaning Baz and Rob. Those shows during the first and second albums were so freaking good, for a time I really don't think there was anyone better.
@@Floppy_Bacon it's unbelievable how it hasn't happened yet, so much wasted time. I'm sure somewhere along the way the band has seen the comments, most fans would like to see the classic lineup, if not go to the Sebastian solo shows, he puts on a killer show.
@@irocitZ No Doubt. The fans opinions HAVE to mean something to them, right? I know the members of Skid Row say that they are happy where they are at right now but deep down they miss what they had with Bas and Affuso.
Hey Rob,I don’t know if u will ever watch this video,but here is Alex a guy that when u guys played Milan(Italy) I believe opening for Ozzy with John Holmes covering for Zakk Wylde,right after the sound check I took you to buy Italian wine in a big shopping mall close to the venue(Palatrussardi). It was an honor and so fun hanging out with you. You are an amazing drummer. Alex
Ha!!! He had drum sticks in his back pocket the entire time we were in school. Although he’s a year or two younger than I am. Or should I say a grade or two behind. But yes. We weren’t friends. But we did ride the same bus for years and yes. A very nice guy from what I remember. I was always nervous “like sickly” nervous until I sang the first key. Then it was as if I had an alter ego? Or the business me. I was working.
Although i don't know SR personally. But judging from the recent interviews of Bach, Rachel or snake and Rob, it is clearly not difficult to realise Rachel is the cause of every thing.
Rob, Sebastian has had stuff for sale on Ebay. It would be awesome to bid on something that Rob Affuso has touched. Do you have any old cymbals or broken drum heads. My brother would freak out opening a Christmas gift with your autograph on it. Perhaps an old shoe or how about a used car. The original Skid Row lineup is one of my favorite bands. Party on
An old shoe, that's funny. As for pre-owned cars, I picture one of them having something like a low mileage third gen Camaro. Perhaps a 1988 IROC with T-tops. If so, I'd bid on it. It makes sense because those were the official cars of the Garden State for a good part of a decade.
Rob was the adult in the band. Snake, Sebastian and Rachel's childish egos collided and everything imploded. I read where Rob had been trying to get the band back together but Sebastian would say something stupid and Rachel would get pissed off and it always fell apart. I wish the rest of the bunch could be more humble like Rob.
People want skid row for themselves...to see a show..they don't think about the fact the other guys in the band have to deal w Bach for the next 364 days of the year and 24/7.... He's obviously the problem and as great as he is..ask urself...WHY does every other band or super band pass on him.... Idk either but it's something w his character
Slave to the grind is a good record it’s not my faveroute by any means but I honestly think subhuman race is the strongest out of the first three records they did it was just bad timing it came out in 95 instead of the year before or even 93 it would have stood a lot more of a chance then it did later on by the mod 90s it was just alternitive and grunge music both of which is featured on sun human race but it didn’t sound as if they were jumping on the band wagon it sounded to me like they would have gone that way regardless of grunge or what was hspening at the time
Skid Row didn't have an album in 85' they weren't even a band yet. Subhuman came out in 95 and Bach left at the end of 96 and the band officially broke up in 98'.
Got a call from Jon Bon Jovi at the beach in the early 80's? On what phone rob, a pay phone? Lmfao. I love rob but he said skid row played for 80,000 people, when? Slave to the grind first rock album to debut at number one? Vinnie Vincent invasion debut album was first rock album to debut at number one!!! What's up with rob? Quiet riot metal health went to number one not sure if it debuted at number one, don't think so. This is anthony carosella from finyl vinyl records. Subhuman race was released in 1995 not 1997 as rob stated. Too many discrepancies!!! Your solo band was wildly successful? Come on rob!!! Brandon the interviewer asked rob do you like playing music more than being a musician? It's the same thing!!! I just can't with these two!!!
1)Vinnie Vincent invasion number 66 look in wiki!!2)Slave to the grind the first album that DEBUT number 1!! and Metal Health not debut in number 1 few monthes later going to number 1!!!! 3)Play in 80000 people support Guns n Roses!!!
They played for 80,000 + at Rock in Rio. Thats just one time. Also every night opening for GNR and Metallica. And on their head lining tour that filled up Wembley stadium in 1991.
Undoubtedly the quietest and most polite former member of Skid Row.
ROB AFFUSO is a treasure. His light shines the brightest.
Has to be the nicest guy ever in a rock band. He was so overshadowed because he was so nice. Sweet sweet guy.
There is no Skid Row without Rob and Sebastian. Period.
You're absolutely WRONG because they are not the founding members. They were the last to join. Know your history.

This is why SKID ROW WERE so great... " failure is not an option"
After hearing from Bach, Bolan, and 🐍in so many interviews it is nice to hear Rob's perspective on stuff.
Rob was a student in my class in high school and played football on the high school team I helped coach. He was a great student. He was a great person then and still is. He came back to Wallkill High School and visited several times to talk to members of the high school music classes. Hard to believe he is 54.
Great story. Yeah it seems like he's got the Ringo personality of Skid Row. The most civil and approachable one, in other words.
I'm a drummer as well and I wish I could find my cross country coach because I was a star runner and this guy always pushed me!!!!!!
i was at party had to be about 30+ years ago and my cousin( I was visiting him in Wallkill) was like "see that guy over there? he is the drummer for skid row.
Go to see you Rob. Miss you in Rock & Roll- Skid Row...
I'm glad of Rob taking an interview because..we all WANTED TO KNOW WHERE HES BEEN....THANKS ROB💜🌹💯👍🤙
One of my Top 10 All Time Favorite Drummers - Rob you RULE🤘🤘
Love this robs so humble and chill. Nice to hear his point of view.
Great drummer

May they reunite with Sebastian!
What an enjoyable and insightful interview this was to watch
He is nice and grounded, easy to listen.
Rob is a killer drummer, I love all his songs, but, what he did on Skid Row's Face Against My Soul song its Insane!
My Friend Rob Affuso❤
If you don't mind me to ask...is Rob your friend for real?
You Are beauty
If Skid Row ever decides to get back to the classic lineup it's gotta be all five, meaning Baz and Rob. Those shows during the first and second albums were so freaking good, for a time I really don't think there was anyone better.
I hope bolan and sabo realize that 😁
@@1211jinx I think they realize it ain't Skid Row without Baz & Rob, they might not wanna admit it but that's the way it is..

Rob is SO ADORABLE! Fascinating guy and so intelligent. My crush from the 90s and today. 🥰
Very groovy metal drummer and he seems like a kind of guy I could get along with
I totally agree. Skid ROW could never be SKID ROW WITHOUT BASS OR ROBBY.

GODBLESS SIR!
HUGE LOVE AND RESPECT.

Skid row was great band un '90s
Come back to Skid's man !
It sounds like he would go back and most of the fans would like to see it happen, it's the others that seem to have the problem.

Prince and John Mellencamp..... awesome!!!!!!
Listening to Rob is such a big contrast to the craziness of Sebastian
What a nice fella
Although i don't know SR personally. But judging from the recent interviews of Bach, Rachel or snake and Rob, it is clearly not difficult to realise Rachel is the cause of every thing.
I’ve always thought that, couldn’t agree more
Alex Skolnick and Rob Affuso those two are the nicest rock star
I still have the hots for him lol
Rob, Sebastian has had stuff for sale on Ebay. It would be awesome to bid on something that Rob Affuso has touched. Do you have any old cymbals or broken drum heads. My brother would freak out opening a Christmas gift with your autograph on it.

True rockstar
Are you back In SKID ROW yet with BASS?? I HOPE SO.. long live RUSH AND SKID ROW WITH THIS CHAMPION AND GENTLEMAN..
Hey i didnt know he had audition for Bon Jovi
I was really hoping Guns N Roses hired Rob back in 1990 instead of Sorum
They couldn’t. He was still with Skid Row till’96….
Skid sempre foi Rachel...Snake e Scotti
Why is Rob not a member of the current Skid Row?
He said he's only joining back if Sebastian was in it as well.
They asked him but when he asked if Sebastian was coming back to they no longer wanted him in the band
@@ridehead8771 no wonder they are still very close till now.I love rob’s personality.
@@MizakiFelix those two really despised Sebastian.🤔 Someone commented and asked bolan about a reunion and he was immediately blocked by Rachel.Lmao
@@1211jinx true. Seems Rachel with one with the major problem right now
Hahahaha!!!!!!!! "" D.W. DRUMS.. SABIAN SYMBOLS.."" OH...OH !! OF COURSE... WHO ELSE WOULD HE CHOOSE.. YOU KNOW YOURSELF.. THIS IS A DANCE BUDDY..
Didn't have a single hit after Bach left says it all.
What hits has Bach had since he left?
Robbie ever get your plow truck fixed hydraulic island corner garage kevin wouldn't let me touch it i did hydraulic work 15 year's

Sub human race released 1995
95
An underrated drummer. Seems like a humble guy.💪👍 subhuman race is the best album Skid Row ever put out🔥
I love Rob but his dates are wrong here. Subhuman Race was released in 1985 and the original band split in 1996.
Skid Row didn't have an album in 85' they weren't even a band yet. Subhuman came out in 95 and Bach left at the end of 96 and the band officially broke up in 98'.
I always loved his drumming. Never liked his look. It’s just my opinion. I didn’t think he looked right to play for SR.
