CAN’T STAND THE HEARTACHE
Skid Row’s Sabo on reuniting with Bach: “I don’t want to be traveling around with people I can’t stand.”

 

 

 

Blabbermouth — France’s Loud TV conducted an interview with SKID ROW guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo and bassist Rachel Bolan at a recent stop on the band’s European tour. You can watch the entire chat below. A few excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).

Skid_Row_2015_1On the band’s forthcoming studio album, tentatively due in 2019:

Rachel: “The last ten years, we started the ‘United World Rebellion’. It’s going to be a trilogy. We just decided to go with EPs because it was something different. We figured we get them out quicker and then we made two singer changes since the last one. [Laughs] But, yeah, we’re working on the third installment. It’s going to be a full-length record. We’re working on it with Michael Wagener, who produced ‘Revolutions Per Minute’‘Slave To The Grind’ and our debut. It’s going to be awesome. He’s really excited; we’re really excited to be working together with him. Snake and I have been writing like crazy and demoing songs. We’re going to go into full-on pre-production next month. We hope to have a record out by early 2019. We have so many shows left on the year and he has a busy schedule that there’s no conceivable way of actually getting it done. We can get it started, but it won’t be done. We have a lot of songs written, but we tend to just write more than we need and we re-think stuff a lot. We’ve been writing with outside writers, friends of ours. We’ve never really done this. Snake and I have always written everything, either the two of us or with the guys in the band. This is a first for us, without a doubt and it’s fun. It’s been a lot of fun.”

On the constant calls for the band to reunite with former vocalist Sebastian Bach:

Rachel: “The only one that can put pressure on ourselves, is ourselves. If someone wants to complain about it and someone wants to post horrible things about it, don’t fucking listen to us, man. There’s so much more music out there to listen to if you’re not happy. You know what? Do something with your life. Go out and do something. We’re very happy and we’re creative and this is it, man. If people got a problem with it, that’s exactly what it is: It’s their problem.”

Snake: “At the end of the day, that’s what matters the most. You have to be happy with what you do. This is our lives. It’s not a job; it’s our lives. Every day you go out there, you lay your heart out there, you lay your soul out there. You have to be happy and be able to look in the mirror and be able to look around that stage and say, ‘I don’t want to be anywhere else but onstage with those four other guys.’ And that’s what we have. That wasn’t always the case. So, but now it is. That’s all that matters is right here and right now. I don’t want to be traveling around the world in a bus with people I can’t stand. What’s the point? I’ll go flip burgers if [that makes me] happy.”
