Skid row is the greatest band to release a debut CD in 1989. Also, they suck now without their classic lead singer.

One of the best 1980's and early 1990's American heavy metal bands; that ever existed. They wrote very mature content; but were very overlooked and overshadowed. (both by the Glam metal i.e. Guns N' Roses; and Grunge music scenes. i.e. Nirvana; But still managed to stand-tall.)
Their music and lyrical content was about Relationships, partying/good times, tragedy, life's struggles/hardships and life out on the streets.
By 1996; Sebastian Bach left the band. He noticed the band were starting to become egotistical assholes with their new found success; and begin to disagree with them on creative issues; so he opted to quit the band. Skid Row never really recovered without him in the mainstream and later faded into obscurity. Their music skill declined as musicians as well; and the new "Skid Row" without him, sounds like a painful post-grunge Nickelback or Creed version.
Seb's departure somewhat hindered Skid Row's fanbase; and alienated a lot of original fans. Skid Row needed Sebastian Bach more than he needed them.
If Skid Row continued with Seb, they might have became the next Alice in Chains.

Skid Row were a really good band up until Seb left. The 3 albums they released before Seb's departure, are pure overlooked classics.
Skid Row were always the unsung band of the Heavy metal scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Guns N' Roses, Metallica and Nirvana were always stealing their limelight. If those three bands never got mainstream attention; EVERYBODY would know of Skid Row and their superiority/brilliance.
(If you want my opinion; Sebastian Bach should have joined Alice in Chains after Layne Staley died. He would be the perfect match. Imagine Seb and Jerry Cantrell playing in a band together. That would be kickass! I'd pay to see that.)

(n) A very nice late 80's rock band that really made it big with their song "18 And Life".
They have very enjoyable rifts and solos. Nothing beats their rebellious song "Youth Gone Wild".
Still listened to today mostly by people in their late 30's to early 40's. Also enjoyed by some teenagers.

A line up of skids in which you can point out the different kinds of skids. Most of them still believe wireshark can be used to hack the NSA alone, and can't even identify what python looks like.
We've got a nice Skid-row here of scrows, scrids, and skids to pick out of, shall we skidgineer them?
