Skid Row hires yet another new singer.

This is ridiculous!

I thought they were happy with ZP.

(shrug) Good luck to him, I guess. I've only cared for one post-Bach Skid Row album, and it's the one everybody else hates (Revolutions Per Minute) so I got no skin in the game

I'm unfamiliar with new guy or his previous band H.E.A.T., but it was funny to see the reaction to this news yesterday across the various 80s rock/metal FB groups I'm in... it was either "Who the f**k is this guy?" or "OMG THIS IS AWESOME NEWS HOLY SH*T HE'S PERFECT" ... very little in between

Can't wait for the inevitable comment from Sebastian Bach on this matter. Given the track record they've had with singers over the past few years, I bet he'll tell the new guy to keep his suitcase packed

This band has not interested me in a very long time. Everything with Bach on it is all I need from them.

I'm starting to think Sebastian wasn't the only one in Skid Row is hard to work with.

Last Skid Row i got was Subhuman Race. Lost all track of the band after.

^^^what he said

New song is solid. Who cares how many singers they've had? Before the new guy, they had three singers in 28 years, and Solinger was in the band for 16 of them. Everyone is acting like these dudes are running through singers left and right.

Bottom line is, at this point the singer is an employee of the three original members, who undoubtedly take the lion's share of loot. Probably not the most well-playing job around, so they're not going to last.

Lots of people care. When people start to get used to someone, he’s suddenly gone. Solinger aside… Tony Harnell was gone almost as fast as he was announced. But ZP was around for a while and was supposed to do that last EP thing. Who knows how long this guy will be around. Inconsistency is no good (hired gun, or not).

I can’t stand Sebastian as a person (based on his online outbursts and polarizing libtard opinions). But I also can’t deny he was and will always be the voice of Skid Row.

ERIK GRÖNWALL has a killer voice. Check out links.

People are hating on this dude, but he can fucking sing his ass off. Best they've had since Bach, and better than Bach is now.

I agree.

He's getting better at these songs now that he's settling in.

Twas down in the Basin watching a friend's  band play at some Ranch Hand Dive and during their break between sets, I saw a clip of Lizzy Hale fronting Skid Row on one of the Big Screens at The Bar.   She was dressed like a Skanky Ho, nothing wrong with that if pulled off right  Not too familiar with most of what she does, I do dig on the tune she sang on the the last TSO album... "Forget About The Blame (Moon Version)" and recently turned on to a tune she did with The Native Howl called "Mercy".

Here are the 3 tunes referenced in the above verbiage
