SKID ROW the Interview: "Finally Skid Row Again" 

The new album sounds like classic Skid Row. Erik kills it on vocals. Best wishes to the band going forward!

So happy for these guys. This is definitely the best they’ve sounded since Seb. Really looking forward to seeing them this summer at ‘Rock Imperium’ Cartagena, Spain 🤘🇪🇸

I saw them a few days ago and I cannot express enough how incredible Erik's voice was.

Skid Row are great and I loved all of their singers but Erik is the without a doubt the best since Bach! And Bach isn’t Bach anymore these days, he butchers the songs. Erik sings them! The new album is amazing to listen to - so great choice and great comeback Skid Row

Freaking awesome. "The Gang's All Here" album is brilliant, it's up there with the first two Skid Row albums. Skid Row kicks some serious arse again with Erik.

It is truly sad that Erik had to leave but I understand why. A difficult and mature decision. I hope that the guys in Skid Row look in Europe again. There are a ton of big-range, talented singers. Check out Eugent Bushpepa's cover of She's Gone (Steelheart). Eugent is an Albanian singer.

I think many in the Skid Row clan don't quite appreciate the absolute legend Erik Gronwall is. H.E.A.T. is one of the leading bands in hard rock today - kickin a$$ on the same level Skid Row did back in their prime. For Skid Row, to get Erik Gronwall today, is the equivalent of CCR getting Sebastian Bach in 1991. That is no exaggeration.

bach said it best. when skid row was interviewed and said how the whole first album was written well before bach joined. hie response was no one fucking cared until he sang those songs.

well they were a cover band for the last 25 + years of having a singer trying to sound like bach.its about time they do something with the new singer.there is no skid row without bach!!!

I'm Swedish and vaguely familiar with Erik (I never watched him on Idol, but I've heard him here and there although never with Skid Row) and I feel a certain pride for what he has accomplished, even though I don't know the guy myself. That said, Skid Row for me will always be with Bach. No matter how great of a singer and performer Erik is, I don't think it's possible to replace Bach. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, but I feel like it'd be like replacing Freddy Mercury or Kurt Cobain. Bach's name will just always be Skid Row, for better or worse. All of that said, I wish both Erik and the guys the very best moving forward.

Good luck guys. Great songwriting, epic albums. But???? You cannot, even decades later, replace Sebastian Bach. Best of luck.

It’s not Skid Row without Bach. Sorry.

The Gang's All Here is the best Skid Row song. Yes, I said it and I mean it. Better than Youth Gone Wild. Better than I Remember You. The energy and the insanity of the song are so good!

In my opinion Erik had made Skid Row relevant again. He is on the same level as Sebastion was!

Not back. But close. He can sing but his stage presence needs work BAZ is a hard act to follow but the kid can sing next album needs to be heavier if he pulls that off then then there gonna be fine.

Out of the 80s bands, Skid Row was the only band I ever liked. I grew up when heavy metal, so I was a huge Scorpions, Y&T, UFO, etc. fan. I saw the Vegas show, and I was so impressed with SR! They/he stole that show!

It's sad, in a way, that this is their comeback album, as they never really went away - or at least, they'd like to think so.

He is a good singer. I think he is the best since Sebastian Bork.

what is the song at the end?

I hope this works out

I think this new singer Erik Gronwall, is AMAZING! He's extremely humble, cool & pro. But I've gotta be honest here. Skid Row ran it's course YEARS ago for me! I'm not even interested in anything they've put out, or going to put out. To me, this band is long since OVER!

It works or it don’t, it’s obviously working.

They should of put the name skid row in the bin and used a new name, its not skid row without Sebastian

I don't care who wrote the songs - It's not Skid Row without Sebastian Bach. He was not only the voice of the band but also the personality of the band.

Funny but unfortunately, I’m sure they were a family with Johnny Tony Hardell ZP also Erik was great😊. It’s time to reunite with Sebastian.

No ....Bach No Skid Row. All these guys are just trying to hold onto the memory lane has been money. And they suck too.

Big Hell Yeah.

No thanks,gotta be BAS for me!🙄 Jman

Skid Row should have changed their name years back.

Where's the REAL singer?....you gonna be playing empty clubs without him

I was convinced when I went to see them live… in a sold out venue a couple weeks ago. They were ridiculously good… Erik was so full of energy and had so much control of the stage…while hitting all the notes and staying on pitch. And a huge smile and personality that oozes from the stage. People can debate these things forever on the internet…but, I left a fan.

Sorry it sounds like karaoke

Alright haters and lovers. Listen to the new stuff, if its good be a fan , if its not your thing don't listen. Times change and so do people, tastes and life bit don't put this down just because Bach aint in the band

Nothing will ever touch those first couple albums… Miss those days gone past 🤘🏼

Comparing Gronwalls stage presence to Iggy and Freddie Mercury is a bit of a stretch. Personally i to think he looks like a little kid jumping around in his bedroom.😂

Boy, are they trying hard to sell this lineup.

Royally fucked ZP over !! Disgraceful!

9:00 He probably sees a lot more comments saying "this sucks - it's not Skid Row without Sebastian".

Erik is a BEAST! He has the pipes for sure, such a cool dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎤🎶

If they can make new songs that are relevant today with the new singer, then it's cool. If they're just playing the old songs from back in the day, they are simply a cover band.

No Sebastian? No Skid Row.

I can listen to Skid Row All Day!

I am just discovering Skid Row. Shamefully I prejudged them as individuals. This band has heart. It’s understandable why people pine for yesterday’s singer but this new guy is excellent imo.

I'm sorry nothing against anyone but skid row is not the same without Sebastian and i know Rachel and Snake never accepted but without Sebastian there is no skid row the original

Skid Row 2.0 kills!! Took a 3hr road trip last Oct to see them in PA well worth it, Erik is the second coming. Can't wait to see them again in September

They will never be Skid Row again until they get Sebastian Bach back , after all if it was for Sebastian's voice . They wouldn't have been as big as they were .

Like many of my contemporaries have stated no Sebastian no skid row, it is simple and plain Eric is a fine singer, but Sebastian was an incredible front man and rockstar who actually breathe life into the music they wrote lol , when they are on stage with Eric singing, it sounds like they are cover band of themselves, which is utterly embarrassing to them, and Eric Many of you like Eric and cheer him on, and think he has revitalize his band, the simple fact of the matter is he has not their new album isn’t relevant nor will it be. They may become more relevant to fans if they ever got back with Sebastian but otherwise, Eric is simply a Walmart version of a superior brand. To all of you who want to argue Sebastian voice isn’t what it used to be, you are correct however, I would still take his stage presence, and 75 to 80% of his voiceover Eric’s every day all day all the time Lastly, even though Sebastian‘s voice isn’t what it used to be, he’s still outsells Skid Row, and feels larger events than they do with Eric LMAO, that must really burn their ass and proves a simple point… Sebastian was the band

It’s got to be rough going from being a popular hair metal band, opening for GNR to playing clubs and selling 12 records.

Sebastian Bach made this band basically. I am certainly not going to be buying any tickets anytime soon.

What a great comeback album!

Feel so sorry about this band, they were great!

He is a blessing man.

He sounds a lot like Sebastian. I haven’t listened to Skid since Sebastian but I got their new album the gang is all here and really like it. Sounds like classic Skid Row cuz the singer sounds like Sebastian Bach!

The new singer and Sebastian both are awesome !!!

It's such a shame how it just didn't work out in the end because of Erik 's health reasons for keaving. He really gave this band a second life...

“Finally skid row again”?? So the got Sebastian and rob affuso back!? “He’s so entertaining to watch!!” Kinda like bas huh?

AWESOME !!!

Erik, lets make skid row great again! Hejja Dej!

No Sebastian? No skid row! Simple as that.

😂😂😂Please.

*Skid Marks*

Erik is the best thing to ever happen to Skid Row. The man is a legend and a really nice guy on top of that!

Yes absolutely. Bach sounds awful trying to hit the high notes now. Erik sounds amazing with Skid Row and they are back! I never cared about them after Bach, but Erik changed my mind. I feel 19 again and like I'm hearing the self titled for the first time again. I hear Bach butcher those songs now and all I have is those memories, Erik brings them back and I actually want to go hear Skid Row doing them again. I wouldn't waste my money on Bach now.

I really like the singer a lot. I do have a confession, I grew up on 80's metal and love Skid Row. When they fired Bach like an idiot I quit buying their CD's and listening to them. Then... Big mouth Bach started crying and hating on #Trump2024 and my eyes were opened and I truly saw what a b/thch Bach is... Long live Skid Row

1st.

The two albums after Bach was fired had the band straining away from their signature sound. The Gang’s All Here has the signature sound and feel from those two first album and is the legit 3:rd one. Huge props to Nick Raskulinecz for bringing back the real Skid Row. And God bless Erik Gronwall for stepping up to the challenge. And for the band to believe in him. This is ace.

Eric makes me interested in SR again.He is great. You got your guy and so did we.Come to Vancouver pls.

In all seriousness, and concern, are you guys @80smetalrecyclebin ok? I used to check for new vids regularly, i now drop in once a month to see if anything new, and see nope, still that Skid Row vid from 4 months ago. Hope you are safe, healthy and well.

Now,all that Skid Row needs is a proper major record label deal and they'll officially be back,as Erik is the type of singer that would have recharged Van Halen had VH still been together(and had Eddie Van Halen still been amongst us). Otherwise,I'm sure that Sebastian Bach would be appalled by this video as it would be interesting to hear what both Sebastian and ZP Theart would have to say about Erik's involvement with Skid Row.

Bwahahahahahaha ☝️ JFC!! What like the 10th singer in this band?? Hang it up already guys.
