Attention attention Rachel Bolan’s ego has run amuck and ruined a great band! Rachel Bolan is a friend/band betrayer and band destroyer! He’s cold, calculating, and has NO remorse for anything. Don’t ever join that band or you’ll be fired like the other close to 30 members (including 3 straight lead singers and about 25 drummers). He won’t even listen to a guy he says he loves like a brother Rob Affuso, who wants back in the band yet Rachel (and his lap dog friend Snake) continue to deceive fans into believing that Rob’s heart is not in making their kind of music anymore. Just as Rachel and Snake continue to perpetrate lies about another guy they also “loved as a brother” johnny solinger. The guy was a ball-less yes-man who did everything Rachel wanted him to do and yet Rachel/snake STILL stabbed him in the back and rehearsed with other singers (like tony hartnell) behind his back before giving him his pink slip over the phone.

But if that wasn’t bad enough, they even called solinger a liar in their press release and wouldn’t let it die when he tried to bow out graciously and say he “Quit to pursue a solo career”. No they had to defame his character after all the other insults to his friendship and loyalty they put forth for years. They lied to Rob, they lied to Johnny, they continue to lie to their fans. Just as they have lied to other past band members who have ALL BEEN FIRED because of the ego controlling monger Bolan and Snake who goes along with anything Rachel says… This is a band with at least 2 members who couldn’t care one iota what their fans like or want. They have proven this time and time again.

So I listen to subhuman race, their best record ever. and the other two before it and I blissfully pretend they BROKE UP after subhuman race and never got back together. Because as far as I’m concerned, skid row the band died in 1996… And no matter how many new singers Rachel the control freak ego man fires with the same predictable lame remorseless excuses and blaming, we know the REAL story here. And this band hasn’t put out any thing even remotely good in songwriting, sound, attitude, or musical direction, etc since they fired bach… At least the Bolan/Snake from 1986-1995 were pieces of crap that could write good songs. Unfortunately the bolan and snake combo from 1996 to the present are two pieces of crap that can’t write even one decent metal song…> RIP Skid Row.

i loved skid row at one time much like all of that music,but skid row much like all the other type bands from the 1980’s-1992..are done..there glory days are over..that type of music is finished..i did not want to admit that for years but one day i woke up and grew up and got rid of all those cd’s that i uesed to cherish..trust me i loved all that stuff but it is over..remember where george costanza was talking to the clown and was upset that the clown had no ideal who bozo is..and he said to george your living in the 60’s man get out of the 60’s ..well that is how i feel about the 80’s era music….

I grew up with baz in Peterborough ,Ontario he’s always been crazy hyper stubborn and a really fun guy to hang with and smoke lotsa hoolies! lol On the other hand he can be fucking crazy and out of control when he’s drunk…but that was back when we we’re 14 years old.But I can see him pushing for a reunion and if it was a possibility at all he’d be on board in a split second.I guarantee that!

I think at this point the only people waiting for a skid row reunion is Sebastian =)

We don’t care anymore.

Skid Row is to stubborn. Rather screw the fans
