Hair Metal Guru- Skid Row has been very quiet - is it happening?

[gtrjay]

Fun discussion and he has some great points.

Does he have inside sources?

I mean, Bach has been doing fly in gigs since May, so seems like things are business as usual for him.

What would be absolutely hilarious is if the Skid Row guys were finally ready to let bygones be bygones, and then Bas gets offered the Motley gig to replace Vince.

Dont see that happening, but would be friggin funny as hell

I have no idea why the band didn't bend over backwards to make it seem as if everything was still business as usual with Gronwall even if they knew they'd never play another show together. Seemed so unnecessary to announce his departure right before the release of the live album. They could have still done the shows with Lzzy and auditioned new singers on the down-low (and if news broke that they were doing so, they could have always said that they were simply looking for fill-ins in case Erik had health issues or whatever). The band had legit momentum after years of brand neglect and worked their way back into HOB-level venues, and between that and the occasional high-profile placement a la the Minecraft movie, it was almost cool to be a Skid Row fan again. They could have played this hand much better than they did. Instead, it's been crickets for over a year now.

Seems like they always shoot themselves in the foot.

They were trying to land Lzzy Hale while they still had that very momentum.

[Hair I Go Again]

They were trying to land Lzzy Hale while they still had that very momentum.

So it was like when Portnoy quit DT and threw himself at A7X, only to have them say, "Uh, no thanks, boomer"?

They really thought she'd be willing to commit to Skid Row on a full-time basis? I agree it would have been a boon for them, but she plays in a band with her brother and her significant other. It'd be foolish to think she'd step out on them for more than a handful of dates.

At this point, the only play the band has left is the reunion card.

There's no way. Anthrax had a better shot at bringing in Corey Taylor.

I like to goof on Rachel and Snake as much as the next guy, but even they're not THAT stupid.

Skid Row obviously has enough money in other things that they don’t need to tour.

They’re 60 now, so full time touring isn’t something that they’re going to do for the next 20 years.

They’re just going to fadeaway.

[gtrjay]

Their draw and “stock price” let alone venue size are all starting to go to go down like Blockbuster vs Netflix

[LAglamrocker]

Must give Skidrow sometime to make another bad choice

Final 2 are
Lita Ford ex husband(not the Wasp pool legend)
Hurricane 3rd singer

Skidrow new singer announcement should be on TMZ Live(everytime)

*** If Skidrow makes correct choice
Pantera /Skidrow conheadline arenas for 5 years

Not happening. They'll do the predictable move and hire someone young and up-and-coming.

Will they? In the Vince thread, I said Nikki and Tommy would absolutely fire Vince, and someone said that they couldn't, because people wouldn't buy tickets without Vince.

But, what if they replaced Vince with someone who was an actual name, that they could potentially market?

I'm just saying, crazier things have happened.

[Hair I Go Again]

Christ, I hope there’s eventually a Fasterpussy Cat and Skidrow show

[ParaDime77]

It’ll definitely happen. When it does this place will explode.
