The song is a love ballad. The video is about a man being unable to move on because the love of his life passed away. In the first half of the video he still holds onto the thought of her and laments his loss rather than celebrating the memories they made. After hearing the band play in the building he realizes that he wasn't remembering her rather than mourning her and that is when he has a rush of memories come and he is so elated that he finally feels like he can move forward. As a final farewell, he burns the photos he has been holding onto for so long. Symbolically showing there is nothing holding him back from this point in his life.
It's about grief.. He lost his wife and his world fell apart.. Homeless and alone, he kept the pictures.. Dropping them one at a time at the end, he was finally letting go.
It warms my heart to see younger ones jamming to the music from my younger years. Keep exploring. You’ll find so many wonderful and talented voices out there.
I think this song was about how his wife died (he has a wedding ring on at one point), and how his mourning led to his life spiraling out of control, and he wound up homeless… The burning pics part at the end maybe symbolizes that, yes, he still loves her, always will, and will never forget her, but he has to let go and move on…
Oh girls, welcome to the world of 80s power ballads. Literally every 80s hair metal band has at least one power ballad, and they’re all worth checking out. I’m gonna subscribe just to see your reactions.
Man I miss the 80s! We had great musicians! Skid row was to another level of greatness! His voice combined with the riff of the guitar! Just awesome!🤟😝🤘👍they just don’t make or produce great music like this anymore! You young ladies got a new subscriber out of me! Loved your reaction’s!✌️
Girls I know what happened..I went through it when a man loses his love of his life. Sometimes thay can't function in the world. I became homeless jobless and wanted to die. This is the story of my life. Burning the pictures is finally letting go .and starting a new life Sometimes men go into a cave of depression and they need to find a way out .they stay alone for a long time. This is a story of my life. And many other men. God bless all who read this
Best power ballad of all time...the video/song is about a guy losing his girl to cancer, and he spirals into depression, loses his job, and home...at the end, he realizes that she wouldn't want him to think of her in sadness...so, he burns the pictures...
My friends kids, 16 to 19 are all metal heads and discovering older tunes like this. I tell them this is 100 percent why im not mad at being old. I had the absolute privilege of growing up as a 80,s and 90s kid and it was awesome. I wouldnt trade it for a million dollars.
This yearning song is about a guy who can't let go of the memory of the girl he loves. His days are endless and his nights sleepless as he obsesses over her, refusing to move on.
Was about a man losing the love of his life. Was heart broken and couldn't recover. Lost everything. Wants to be with her again. Dropping pics/burning them, he's done. Hoping when they're reunited she would say I Remember You.
Finally my favorite reactors reacting to my favorite genre!! I need to see more Hard Rock power ballads in your channel! 😛. If you like Skid Row you will love Firehouse, Cinderella, Stryper, Poison, Slaughter, The Black Crowes, White Lion, Mötley Crüe and many more!!!
Sebastian Bach and crew. 80s hair band with a power ballad. I think you ladies will love it. I usually respond before watching....time to watch and see.
Sebastian Bach equals 🟰 VIBRATO! Sebastian Bach’s voice is awesome! A great singer! My daughter said: Daddy why is his lower lip quivering? I said honey that’s called: Vibrato and all the great singers have it! I live in Santa Monica California (LA County) Skid Row is a heartbreaking 💔 place and what makes it worse is a mile down the road are mansions! If you listen to Poison do a song called Give Me Something To Believe In Brett Michaels points out this very fact! I’m encouraged by seeing some celebrities feeding the homeless there! I remember working Thanksgiving and Christmas there shoulder to shoulder with some of the cast of Days of Our Lives! I worked beside Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans) and her twin sister Andrea Hall (Hattie Adams, Samantha Evans). God Bless the people who make their mark helping people on Skid Row!
Hey girls, great reaction. Consider this meaning for the song... What if the song is a lament. Have you ever heard of people dying of a "broken 💔 heart" sometimes people find their soul mate and when they lose them it's like a part of them selves has died. A person can feel sadness, anger, hate loneliness and many other feelings about losing their dear partner.
Their two top hits were this one and "18 and Life". I'd recommend that one, it also tells a story, you won't have any problem interpreting that one! Both great songs!
Now it's only fitting you react to Steelheart - She's Gone or I'll never let you go and your minds will be blown for real. Similar to Sebastian of Skid Row Miljenko of Steelheart had such a high range it was insane.
The original Skid Row was an Irish blues-rock band of the late 1960s and early 1970s, based in Dublin and fronted by bass guitarist Brendan "Brush" Shiels, It was the first band in which future Thin Lizzy members Phil Lynott and Gary Moore played professionally; When (Skid Row) got signed to Atlantic, Gary Moore heard about it and said we could have the name for $35,000 U.S. dollars. "We have to pay Gary Moore 35 grand to use the name," and so we, as a band, did buy the name from Gary Moore. We were all glad to do it because it is a great name for a band.
The singer is Sebastian Bach and the reason why he sounds incredible is because he’s classically trained his voice has a ginormous range go down the rabbit hole and pick another song out of a hat randomly and you won’t be sorry.
You girls look soo young it's amazing after all these years people have same reaction as I did as 20 year old hearing song for the 1st time love & hugs to you both
Skid Row's self titled debut (which this song is on) was a huge commercial hit when it came out. It gave 3 huge radio hits: "Youth Gone Wild" (a heavy rock song), "I Remember You" (ballad) and "18 and Life" (another sad but 'heavier' ballad). Their 2nd album "Slave to the Grind" goes a heavier direction and the title track is my favorite. When Sebastian Bach (singer) talked about those two albums later on, he said "The debut was for the record company. Slave to the Grind was for us".
When you get older like 30 plus or so, you will get more intense feelings about this song ! This is way deeper ! Have lost my best buddy in 2008 December in an arson. For both of us this was one of the most fav rock ballad. He lost everything in his life prior to that incident as his wife (whom he loved like anything) betrayed him and left for UK along with his young son, to have higher studies and nver got back. All the descriptions of love in the song happened with him. I can't help crying each time I see this music video ! What a trenchant lyrics and the solos ! So painful man !
Two years ago this song came on the car radio as I was leaving the animal shelter, having surrendered my sick cat to be euthanized. I had just stopped crying like a fool, then started all over again hearing this..."I remember you". And so this song is now his song, my since departed Cashew (his name).
Sebastian Bach, despite his grating personality (Which caused the implosion of the band) had one of the greatest voices in Metal. Also, this is their best song and is rated as one of the top ten metal love songs of alltime. If you’re talking about a perfect example of a power ballad, this would be it.
I was never into Skid Row, more into Heavy Metal like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer etc.. BUT I have to admit Sebastian Bach’s vocals are incredible!! He does use his vocals like an instrument, I do like “Piece of Me”…
I loved your reaction girls!! For me, Sebastian Bach was one of the best heavy metal singers of the 80's. "Sadpy", a new word has come 👌👌👌👍👍👍!!! Greetings from Mexico, ladies 🤟🤟🤟!!!
I was a teenager in the 80s. And my father HATED all my metal and rock music. BUt then he heard Sebastian Bach sing. He became a fan of (some) Skid Row songs but a fan of Sebastian, I winded up taking my parents to see Sebastian play the lead in Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde on Broadway.
Sebastian Bach was created in a laboratory to be the perfect hard rock singer. (Actually, he told his dad he wanted to be a singer so his dad paid for vocal training when he was young)
Hey girls, ya gotta check out their first two albums. Such great songs. Sebastian was blessed with a wonderful Rock star voice. They wrote some great music skid row.
Would love to see you react to Steelheart “She’s Gone” (1990 Live). The lead singer Miljenko Matijevic’s voice will blow you away. Think you would enjoy it like you did Skid Row.
He's one of the greatest voices ever i saw them twice back in the day they actually toured a lot with the band on your shirt Guns N' Roses i saw Skid Row open for GN'R check out Slave To The Grind or 18 and Life, Youth Gone Wild my friend got killed in a car accident in 1990 they played this song at his funeral your guy's reaction to his voice is exactly the right reaction to have when you hear his voice🤘
You guys are just great at this kind of analysis. And yeah you can take it a couple ways. I remember my first break up…kinda loved and hated her for a long time after. Sometimes at the same time. It’s….complex.
