Rachel Bolan Says SKID ROW Will Re-record Sebastian Bach Era Classic Album With Erik Gronwall

BIG NEWS! Rachel Bolan Says SKID ROW Will Re-record Sebastian Bach Era Classic Album With Erik Gronwall 😲😲

READ HERE: http://tinyurl.com/4pspca3b


Skid Row’s Rachel Bolan recently discussed with Jeremy White Show, where he said that he would re-record some tracks from the band’s ”Subhuman Race” with the new singer Erik Gronwall.

Bolan first discussed what went wrong while recording 1995’s album ”Subhuman Race”, the last Skid Row album featuring former singer Sebastian Bach:

“It was the beginning of the end for the band, pretty much… Even more than the beginning of the end. The band was falling apart. It was evident that this (”Subhuman Race”) was, probably, gonna be the last record that we do, but the songs were rushed; I shouldn’t say rushed because we had some cool stuff but they were really torn apart.”

If he is willing to re-record some tracks from the 1995 album, Bolan said:
“Man, we were just following the process that made it successful. Let’s just do it the same way. It happens with every band, it is what it is.

”I still like some of the songs on that record. I would love to rerecord a few of those songs with Eric.”

Bolan Is OBSESSED with Sebastian

Now he will re-record all the Bach songs because no one cares about their new stuff with the new singer.

"Slave to the Grind", "Wasted Time", "In A Darkened Room", etc.. Bach songs are more memorable

Re-recording songs with a new vocalist doesn't usually work so well.

Exodus re-recorded Bonded by Blood to shite reviews, Anthrax re-recorded Belladonna songs with Bush, I'm pretty sure that bombed too...

You can't erase Bach! Facts is facts, I won't listen to this crap...

On a related note, Scab Row announced in February 2023 that they were going to release a live album in 2023, where is it?! If they do release it, I'm guessing it's going to be 75% songs from the debut and Slave!

They should release a double album.
Skid your Illusion I: a selection of 10 classics re-recorded with Erik
Skid you Illusion II: live show 10-12 tracks
Or make it a bonus disc thing.
Bach would implode

Skid Row records like most records of the time from Motley, RATT, Human League, The Fixx, are a product of the time. We love them because we remember what it was like cranking them while driving down PCH in the 80s. You can't re-create that for a new generation. It's gone. I get Taylor Swift re-recording her albums, because she still gets played and wanted her publishing back. No radio or streaming svc is going to play re-recorded Skid Row, so as mentioned above, it's lighting $$ on fire unless the entire objective is to fuck w/ Baz, in which case I'm all for it and will contribute to a kickstarter campaign.

Nobody cared in 1995.

It didn't sell then it's certainly not going to sell 30+ years later.

Just light the money on fire.

This ^ , yes Bach might be a pain in the ass, but It kills Bolan that nobody gives a shit about "his songs, his band".......... Skid Row is a faceless bar band without a commanding front-man, that's why Solinger and ZP didn't work. Bach was 99% of why they got signed, and also what separated Skid Row from Hericane Alice and Trouble Tribe. It only took them 20 years, but I think Bolan/Snake finally figured it out and got a front-man (Erik) who can sing the back catalog and has a personality.
With that being said, instead of re-recording songs nobody gave a shit about 30 years ago, they would be better off doing a live albums with maybe a few new studio songs added on. But this idea does sound like typical Bolan, one step forward, two steps back.........

I'd be fine with either of the first two albums, it wouldn't be a good look but nobody has to buy it if they don't want to. But why the fuck would it be Subhuman Race? What's the point, exactly?

More than likely they haven't been writing, and want to ride the momentum a bit longer. They should just put out a live album if they want to do something like this. Even the people who bought their latest album aren't going to buy this. I know I won't, and I loved the last one. Shit, do an EP of songs that weren't good enough the last time...anything is better than this.

I assumed it would be the debut album and I was immediately pissed! :)

It doesn't bother me as much if they wanted to re-record some Subhuman Race songs. Even the production on that album sucked. It was very UN-Bob Rock sounding. You never know. Erik might help with arrangements and find a couple good ones in there after all. I always thought Breakin Down had the most potential.

They just need to re-record the hits and they have enough room for Subhuman Race stuff.

I wouldn't say bombed, because I don't think it had high expectations to begin with. It sold to the same people that bought We've Come For You All, which was...no one. They probably won't admin it, but It was a contractual obligation album, as the band was about to get Belladonna back, due to the fact that at that point, they down to playing clubs with Bush.

It's too bad, because it's a fantastic, raw recording of those tracks done live in the studio, and Bush did his absolute best with songs selected by the fans. It's just that it only had a very SELECT audience to begin with.

I think the Skid Row guys know better than to re-record an entire studio album with Erik. However, I could see them doing an album like Warrant's Greatest and Latest, with Erik singing a greatest hits lineup.

If they wanted to fuck with Baz, I figure they'd do one of the first two.

This is probably one of those "too cool to like your most popular albums" things.
