Skid Row "lucked out"/finally found a "replacement" for Sebastian with Erik Gronwall, he was a great fit, high energy, charismatic front-man, and had the range to cover their catalog (and the new album was solid). Because of Gronwall, they brought back a lot of fans who had checked out during the 2 decades of mediocre vocalists and weak albums.
Unfortunately Gronwall also confirmed that SR is a faceless bar band without a true "front-man", and SR is not going to find another Gronwall (and/or look like total morons if the next guy didn't pan out).
There will be no reunion......., despite all the shit Bach gets, IMO, Bolan's ego has just as much to do with it (he thinks SR is all about his prolific songwriting).
My prediction is that after Lizzy Hale, they will continue milking the "special guest/fill in singer" angle. (and it will probably be underwhelming scabs like Andrew Freeman 95% of the time).

How many shows do you think they'll do a year with this strategy?

Re: Skab Row prediction
They are definately reuniting with Bas
Both will finish out their 24 schedules & announce for 25, going out w/ Poison/Cinderella in sheds or Guns/Motley in Stadiums
First off, Bas needs to keep his mouth shut for the next 9 months

I feel like he is too busy for the SR gig. The guy is always working and doing something.skinni wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 4:07 pmthat would be perfectionChip Z'Hoy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 12:41 pm I predict the next singer of Skid Row will be...

Re: Skab Row prediction
I don't think they have a choice. After 4 singers or whatever that haven't worked out, they are looking foolish.greengoblinrulz wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 5:10 pm They are definately reuniting with Bas

I also think it's odd that Bach is unusually quiet right now. You would think he would be all over Erik leaving saying "I told you so"...

Re: Skab Row prediction
As has been posted before, many times, Bach is the only move left. Not because its a good move but because of time. There is a closing window on taking a victory lap. All pushing 60. Bands with bigger hard ons for each other have been able to pull this off, so the logistics are easy. Swallow the bullet. Social security isn't as much as you think

That's a good one! I say if JSS doesn't work out, they should get Michael Bormann! He might actually be a better fit.Chip Z'Hoy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 12:41 pm I predict the next singer of Skid Row will be...

Want to really see Sebitchian's head explode? Get word to him the CEO will be the new SR singer

Or Bach'd salivate at the idea of his nemesis making a fool out of himself trying to sing "his" songs.Black Stuff wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 8:00 am Want to really see Sebitchian's head explode? Get word to him the CEO will be the new SR singer

Re: Skab Row prediction
Tuff singer has always been like bench player in WNBA for a season
Bach is like that new Iowa sensation that got drafted to Indiana few days ago. Now Nike giving her 8 figure contract
But we still remember that bench player for season. Going see his greatness in 2024 at Whisky show
