Grant’s Rock Warehaus: Skid Row – A Career Retrospective [VIDEO]

Park Avenue leads to…SKID ROW!  But Skid Row leads to Grant’s Rock Warehaus!

This week on Grant’s Rock Warehaus, we talk about a band that Grant has been digging seriously for the last several weeks, ever since seeing former singer Sebastian Bach on an 80’s cruise.  We don’t talk just Bach.  We tackle the Johnny Solinger years, the unfortunate tale of Erik Grönwall’s short stint, and of course, current lead singer Lzzy Hale.  Take a look at my Skid Row collection, including The Atlantic Years box set (unboxing!), my original 1991 vinyl of Slave to the Grind, my Japanese Best of Skid Row, and a rare promo single from 1995.

Grant and I tried to cover as much ground as possible.  Album artwork is discussed, and a few underdog records are praised.  I tried to highlight what I think are some incredible and underrated ballads that might be forgotten in the shadow of “I Remember You”.  We shone a light on the talent of all the members, and questioned what they could have done differently through their career.  Leading to the present day, we have some suggestions for Skid Row about their future and reissues we want to see happen.

It’s all here, on Grant’s Rock Warehaus with your host, Grant Arthur!

  1. This was a great show!
    I’ve always loved the Bach stuff, never paid much attention to the Solinger years, and what I have heard from those albums didn’t click with me. However, I really liked “The Gang’s All Here”; talk about a return to form for the band, and Grönwall was a great addition, he fit right in. Shame they had to part ways, but the reasons are understandable. Just checked out a performance of Lzzy Hale doing “I Remember You” with the band, and she sounds great! Curious about the future of the band. I’m in the camp that would like a reunion with Bach, but that has been ruled out time and time again. Still have my fingers crossed though, lol!

    1. There will never be a reunion…someone will die first. And then they will regret it. All the money in the world won’t make Rachel change his mind. Not after 28 years.

      Lzzy is great and as I said on the show, I wanna see an EP like Chester did with STP.
