Skid Row Return!!!! New Album 'ThickSkin'

August 2003
In 1987 Skid Row was born in a garage somewhere in New York. They relentlessly pounded the New Jersey club circuit; packing houses wherever they performed. 1989, Skid Row's debut album goes on to sell over 5 million copies in the U.S.A. In 1992 the band releases their second record 'Slave To The Grind' which debuts at #1 on the Billboard charts, making them the first Heavy metal/Hard rock band to do so. 'Slave' rockets to multi-platinum status.
In 1995 band relationships severely strain, but they reluctantly go into the studio to record what was thought to be their final release, 'Subhuman Race'. Soon after, the band parted ways. That was until late 1999 when founding members Rachel Bolan, Scotti Hill, and Snake Sabo decided that Skid Row meant far to much to them let the music fade into rock obscurity. With their new frontman, Johnny Solinger and the drummer, Phil Varone, they thought things couldn't get better but they did. In 2000 Skid Row landed the coveted opening sloton the Kiss 'Farewell Tour'.

The tour of tours, it brought Skid Row's music back to the hungry masses. Since then the band has logged a few hundred thousand bus miles and some 350 shows during which the band was busy writing new songs for their upcoming CD 'Thickskin'. "This new album will put Skid Row's past in perspective and future in place", says singer Johnny.

I had no idea Skid Row had reformed without Sebastian Bach. Anyone see the new line-up on tour? Whats Sebastian up to?
