History Music / SkidRow

* GenreShift: The band's self-titled debut album was HairMetal (although it was heavier and more aggressive-sounding than most other hair metal at the time). With their second album, ''Slave to the Grind'', the band dropped the hair metal in favor of Music/JudasPriest style heavy metal as well as some Music/ThrashMetal tracks that sounded similar to Music/{{Megadeth}}.

* CoverAlbum: ''B-Side Ourselves'' EP, which contains covers of Music/TheRamones, Music/{{Kiss}}, Music/JudasPriest, Music/{{Rush}} and Music/JimiHendrix.

* BasedOnATrueStory: "!8 and Life" was based on a story guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo read about an 18 year old boy who accidently shot his friend.

** A segment on Metal Head Magazine #2 has drummer Rob Affuso and Sebastian Bach’s wife at the time, Maria Aquinar, looking at photos of Bach in a magazine. When Maria remarks on Bach’s attractiveness, Affuso responds with “He’s alright. I’d do him!”

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: A number of the comments on Skid Row videos are of guys saying while they are not gay, they find the young Sebastian Bach very attractive and prettier than most women.

* BigGuyLittleGuy: Bach with basically everyone. He is 6'3" and towered over the other members.

* BasedOnATrueStory: "!8 and life" was based on a story guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo read about an 18 year old boy who accidently shot his friend.

The rise of grunge and the departure of original lead singer Sebastian Bach in 1996 contributed to a decline in the band's fortunes. While they still recorded and toured with other singers (Johnny Solinger from 1999-2015, Tony Harnell of {{Music/TNT|Band}} in 2015, and ZP Theart of Music/{{Dragonforce}}), they had a much lower profile than their heyday in the late 80s and early 90s. It remains to be seen if they can revive their fortunes with their current vocalist, Erik Grönwall, formerly of H.E.A.T.

* ''Skid Row'' - 1989
