Skid Row

Skid Row is an American heavy metal band formed in 1986. The band was formed by Rachel Bolan and Dave "The Snake" Sobo. They completed the original line-up with Matt Fallon, Scotti Hill and Rob Affuso. Sebastian Bach was the charismatic frontman who replaced Fallon in 1987 and saw the band through their glory days, until he was fired in 1997.

Their five times platinum selling debut album Skid Row (1989) and its follow up, the heavier, double platinum selling Slave to the Grind (1991) are their best known, spawning the hits "18 and Life" and "Youth Gone Wild".

Their next albums, Subhuman Race (1995), Thickskin (2003) and Revolutions Per Minute (2006) failed to make the impact of their first two, but they have continued to tour nonetheless.
