About Skid Row
Skid Row formed in 1986 in Toms River, New Jersey, started by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo, who recruited guitarist Scotti Hill and drummer Rob Affuso through newspaper ads. Sebastian Bach replaced original singer Matt Fallon in early 1987 after the band saw him sing at a photographer's wedding. The Bolan, Sabo, Hill, Affuso and Bach lineup recorded the band's best-known albums, and the band had sold 20 million albums worldwide by the end of 1996.
Bach was fired at the end of that year, Affuso left, and the band went on a three-year hiatus. Skid Row reformed in 1999 with Johnny Solinger as singer. The current lineup is Bolan, Sabo, Hill and drummer Rob Hammersmith.
Sabo and Hill were the core of the band's guitar sound; Guitar World's review of the debut album credits their dual-guitar attack as a key part of its success. Guitar Radar follows the band's guitarists and their gear in the context of hard rock news.
