    Not digging the new material.

    The new guy can sing, but to me it's just a Skid Row cover band. The new material is extremely average IMHO. The only post-Bach album that I liked was Thickskin.

    Saw Bach this year and he was awesome--still had the pipes. I also really enjoyed his solo material, a lot better than what Skid Row did without him.

    Thickskin is a really good album

    I saw Baz in 2017, did Skid Row covers. I wish he had more faith in his solo stuff. Harmony from his last album is such a good song among others.
    Angel Down, Screaming & Kicking and Give Em Hell have stuff that are better than post Subhuman Race indeed

    I'll still buy the new disc and give it a chance, but I'm pretty biased.

    Slave to the Grind was a good surprise when it was released. People used to think they were in the Bon Jovi catergory

    Dave Sabo was the original guitarist for Bon Jovi, early on.

    On Skid Row's 1992 tour, both Pantera and Soundgarden were the opening acts. Shows there was a brief overlap during the changing of the guard after Nirvana in the early 90's.

    I gave The Gang's All Here a listen yesterday and thought it was pretty good.

    Pros:
    -album sounds great
    -the material is generally strong
    -great guitar work from Snake/Scotti
    -album clocks in at about 40 minutes and doesn't overstay its welcome

    Cons:
    -Erik has the pipes, but he's still a Bach clone
    -the songs seem to blend together, not enough variety

    I'd give the album a 3/5 or maybe a 3.5/5. It's a pretty respectable album from a dinosaur from the George H.W. Bush era.

    Erik Grönwall has left the band over health issues and Bach is open to returning.

    Bach may be (or was) difficult to work with, but Skid Row have had four singers come-and-go since Bach left. It can't be all him.

    Not sure how many people give a shit about a reunion with Bach, but I'd go see it. Loved the first three Skid Row albums.

    Lizzy Hale will be singing for the band for four upcoming shows.

    I’d like to them with her. I’m not fan necessarily but I saw her band perform years back and they were really good. In think it would be pretty cool to see.
