The story
Skid Row is an American hard rock/heavy metal band formed in 1986 in Toms River, New Jersey. Their current lineup comprises bassist Rachel Bolan, guitarists Dave Sabo and Scotti Hill, and drummer Rob Hammersmith. The group achieved commercial success with their multi-platinum albums Skid Row (1989) and Slave to the Grind (1991), the latter of which reached number one on the Billboard 200. Those two albums also produced some of Skid Row's most popular hits, both in the United States and abroad, including "18 and Life" and "I Remember You", which peaked in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, and other charting singles such as "Youth Gone Wild", "Monkey Business", "Slave to the Grind", "Wasted Time", and "In a Darkened Room". The band's third album Subhuman Race (1995) was also critically acclaimed, but failed to repeat the success of its predecessors. Those three albums featured the band's "classic" lineup, which consisted of Bolan, Sabo, Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and frontman Sebastian Bach. The band had sold 20 million albums worldwide by the end of 1996. Amid rising tensions, Bach was fired and Affuso left Skid Row towards the end of that year, after which the band entered a three-year hiatus.
