I saw Solinger Row on the Psycho Circus tour. Solinger and Phil Varone were the best part of the show, with Sabo coming in third.VincentVanWinger wrote: ↑Sat Apr 12, 2025 5:44 am
Fun fact. I saw SR once..with Sollinger. He was the best part. The other guys were not essential/memorable at all.
Too bad he passed. I'd love to see a package tour of all former Skid Row singers with a house band. Just a nice middle finger to Rachel and Dave.
Also, I'm going to push back on all the "Skid Row and Sebastian" are on the same level of demand. They're not.
They might get similar guarantees, but Sebastian has a bigger draw. I've mentioned this before, but Skid Row hasn't played a Chicagoland date that wasn't part of a free village festival since before Covid. So, those two years Erik was in the band, they didn't play here. THAT is part of why Erik wanted a reduced schedule, they were playing these hole in the wall venues in the middle of nowhere in D markets, as evidenced by the show they played with Lzzy in fucking CARTERSVILLE. Sebastian, on the other hand, played not one, but TWO shows in Chicagoland on the last tour, and they were both well attended.
These guys have every right to run their business how they see fit. And Tracii was overstating things when he said "millions" of dollars the other day. But he's not wrong when he says they're leaving money on the table, and a considerable amount. Which is totally their right. But Tracii's not necessarily wrong to point it out, especially when he has direct experience with a similar situation.
