“So right now we’re just taking our time, because we have time. And we’ve got a couple guys on the radar that we’re gonna audition.”
— Rachel Bolan of Skid Row
Metal Sludge — The Skid Row singer saga continues and it seems there is hint of light at the end of the tunnel.
In a recent interview with the band’s co-founders Rachel Bolan (bass) and Dave ‘Snake’ Sabo (guitars) the pair shared news from the Skid Row camp which included the band having their eyes on a couple of potential singers.
Bolan and Sabo are the band’s leaders and have remained steadfast that they are looking past re-hiring their classic era singer Sebastian Bach.
The following was shared on Blabbermouth: “During a question-and-answer session at this past weekend’s Days Of The Dead horror and pop culture-themed convention in Indianapolis, SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan was asked about the band’s current activities. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We’re always writing, throwing ideas at each other. Right now we’re in the middle of looking for a singer.
I hear all you guys rolling your eyes already.
Our [last] singer, Erik [Grönwall], left to prioritize his health, [which was] understandable. So right now we’re just taking our time, because we have time. And we’ve got a couple guys on the radar that we’re gonna audition. And there’s also a couple of our friends that wanna do what [HALESTORM‘s] Lzzy Hale did and sit in [on lead vocals] for a few [SKID ROW] shows. And that’s fun too. That was so much fun doing those [four] shows [with Lzzy in late May and early June].”
Added SKID ROW guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo: “We also have a live record [‘Live In London’] coming out, too. In the next couple of months it’ll be coming out. And we did it in London, which was really special for us because that city holds a place in our hearts since the beginning of the band. So, it was a place where we could have a moment in time sort of in perpetuity. And it was a really fun show. And I’m so happy that, after all this time of having SKID ROW, that we were able to capture finally a live record. It’s something we’re very proud of it.
