 Tartarean Desire - Skid Row - Revolutions Per Minute - review by Ken Wood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Skid Row have come a long way since the days of "Youth Gone Wild" and "Monkey Business." After two classic 80s rock releases—Skid Row and Slave To The Grind—Skid Row struggled to match the greatness of those two albums with their third full-length album, Subhuman Race.
Skid Row is yet another band not willing to let go of a name that is far too synonymous with what they're clearly not anymore, and never will be again.
If Skid Row decided to record a stylistically consistent album, they'd do well in either style presented on this album—if they pandered it to the right fans.

Skid Row distinguished themselves from the legions of pop-metal bands of the late '80s and early '90s chiefly by their attitude, which was closer to Guns N' Roses than to Bon Jovi.
Skid Row produced a powerful song in 18 & Life and the ballad, I Remember You is a classic power ballad.
Although Skid Row was, indeed, an excellent band, they never really got the proper recognition they deserved, because they arrived on the scene so late in the eighties metal movement.

Musically, Skid Row has loud, crunchy guitars but they have a tendency to over use the string bending technique, but only on a few songs, the drums are average on a scale of originality, but the drums sound has an impactful THUMP, and the bass work is above average yet not revolutionary.
This band had so much potential but the grunge movement effectively killed off any widespread success the band would have surely had if they debuted earlier in the 80s.
Bands like Skid Row and the incredibly underrated Hardline (with former Journey guitarist Neal Schon) suffered from the Cobain lead assault of 90s alternative rock.

In fact, it took the embittered and embattled frontman nearly a year before he was ready to return to the road and, once he did, the singer launched into a veritable Skid Row nostalgia campaign.
With twenty-five songs already written, the band plans to lay down the tracks in January with producer Michael Wagener, who worked on 1989's Skid Row and may mix Bring 'Em Bach Alive.
Though he and Sabo disagree with respect to what transpired on that day of truculence back in December 1996 when Skid Row imploded, Bach still says he did not quit the band, and he never would.

I know that they just got Johnny in the band, and two weeks later they got the tour, it was so quick there wasn’t any time to prepare…We talk about that to this day, if we had a record out we would have sold so many units.
Varone says the band has already done a few weeks of warm-up performances, including club dates and two dry runs with the whole RNS line-up, which also includes Tesla, Vince Neil, and Jackyl.

Musical tastes evolve, just as this band has, and I think the Skid Row sound is still there enough to please the original-sound fans.

Dispelling the ridiculous knee-jerk reaction that the band couldn’t possibly still be good without original front-man Sebastian Bach, Skid Row returned in 2003, straight on to a support slot with the mighty KISS, and then released the superb Thickskin and followed it up with two successful World Tours.
As a whole the band have long been known to be fans of punk, particularly the Ramones.
Giving such a low rating to a Skid Row album, who are one of my favourite bands of all time, with both singers, is an extremely painful thing to have to do, but this record really deserves it.

Like the Japanese soldier who was found in the 1950s on a remote South Pacific island assuming World War II was still on, bands like Britny Fox, Warrant and Skid Row persevere, totally unaware that their names are forever associated with spandex, forgettable music and, well, bad hair.
Although the spandex may have gone away a decade ago -- as has the bad hair, considering vocalist Sebastian Bach is no longer part of the group -- not much has changed in the music department.
In fact, when the only positive thing I can say about Thickskin is that it's not as bad as Britny Fox's god-awful offering from last year, Springhead Motorshark, you know the return of Skid Row is about as welcome as Michael Moore at Charlton Heston's house.
