“First of all, I do need to say something too, is that the reason that this isn’t happening is because there’s three of us — myself, Scotti and Rachel — who’ve had conversations about this, and we’ve all been on the same page that we don’t wanna go down that road again. We just — we don’t.”
— Dave ‘Snake’ Sabo on Skid Row reuniting with Sebastian Bach

Metal Sludge — It’s safe to say the rock n’ roll world was waiting for this… and it’s also safe to say, this question has not seen it’s final ask.

The Skid Row camp have officially broken their silence and answered the million dollar question that everyone is asking and has been asking for a decade or two.

“Will Skid Row reunite with Sebastian Bach?”

In a brand new interview with The Hook Rocks podcast, Skid Row guitarist, co-founder and one of the band’s primary song writers Dave ‘Snake’ Sabo has spoken out, and it’s not going to be good news for Bach.

Sabo in short has stated: “It’s not going to happen.”

Blabbermouth has shared an article that has detailed some of which was said by Sabo in The Hook Rocks in the recent interview.

Blabbermouth writes: “We haven’t targeted anybody. If we wanna continue as SKID ROW, we’re gonna have to get another singer. But we haven’t targeted anybody. There’s a lot of great singers out there. But Lzzy [Hale of HALESTORM who recently played two shows with SKID ROW as a stand-in singer] just raised the bar, man. And Erik is a great singer. He raised the bar as well. And then Lzzy just came in here and just really raised the bar and showed us another side of what this band could be. So, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a male singer in SKID ROW. The options are wide open. And like I said, there’s so much talent out there, but we just wanna make sure that we make the right choice and that we can bring the band to another level. That’s the hope.”

Pressed about whether anything has changed in terms of his thoughts about a possible reunion with the singer from SKID ROW‘s classic era, Sebastian Bach, Snake said: “Well, the answer has been the same for — I don’t know — 20,000 years now. It’s not gonna happen. And I say the same thing every time. I’m thankful that people have such an interest in wanting to see that happen, but I also have to reiterate that this is about being happy in the situation that you’re in. So I’ll speak for myself personally.

“First of all, I do need to say something too, is that the reason that this isn’t happening is because there’s three of us — myself, Scotti [Hill, SKID ROW guitarist] and Rachel [Bolan, SKID ROW bassist] — who’ve had conversations about this, and we’ve all been on the same page that we don’t wanna go down that road again. We just — we don’t.

“Rachel has taken a beating over this through the years,” Sabo continued. “He’s the one who’s been blamed for this. ‘Oh, it’s Rachel‘s ego.’ ‘It’s this and that.’ No, that’s a load of bullshit. That is not true. And I feel bad because he’s really, really had to shoulder that blame and has never said anything derogatory or anything like that. But you know what? The truth of the matter is that Rachel, Scotti and myself have continually felt the same way, that we enjoy being happy in this band and we’re really happy.

The article has much more to add, and Sabo has left nothing to the imagination.

Like the guitarist has noted, it’s not his opinion, nor any one person’s opinion within the band.

Sabo makes it clear, that all 3 of the core members, Sabo, bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Scotti Hill are all on the same page, and it appears nothing has changed.
