Biography

With crunching, melodic guitar riffs, Sebastian Bach's aching high-pitched metal-perfect croon, long locks, and wildly provocative stage antics, Skid Row was a natural to breakthrough in the hedonistic, heavily-gelled late-1980s. Bon Jovi tapped them for their stadium tour in 1989, and by the end of that year, their self-titled debut had been showered in critical praise and both the ferocious, infectious pseudo-anti-violence PSA "18 and Life," and the quintessential monster ballad "I Remember You," reached the top ten. The 1991 follow-up, SLAVE TO THE GRIND, was a brave departure with an abrasive and uncompromising barrage of metallic rock ‘n’ roll, delivered with punk-like arrogance, but after an ill-advised detour into alternative metal, the band dissolved by the mid-'90s.
