Man these guys are fucking arseholes. Why they don't just get Bach in there and give the fans what they want is beyond me. They must love playing toilets.

[The Wretch]

I mean, there is no doubt Bach is a fucking overgrown child, but there must be a reason they can't hold on to a singer too. Even taking into account that Gronwall is ill.

[Pagan Saviour]

I've sympathy for Gronwall of course but anyone could have seen this arrangement wasn't going to work long term.

[Circlepit]

I'd say yerwan will hit those notes. It seems like they have said no and we are not interested in money for so long that refuse to go back on their word now.
One side must be an absolute fucker to deal with.
Surely they would get high enough festival placement with a big reunion thing.
If Axl and Slash can make up them anything is possible. Not for these lads though.

[Trev]

Why would they want to be stuck touring with someone they seem to absolutely fucking hate?

It's not like Bach's voice is stellar these days anyway, any reunion would just be a trainwreck

[son of the Morrigan]

Fuck them. I still haven't forgiven them for stealing the band name off poor auld Brush Shiels and Garry Moore.

[Pagan Saviour]

I still wouldn't mind seeing them with Bach. He's aged but he has the charisma and they're his songs.

Gronwall is a great singer and fit really well with the band.
Shame to see him leave so soon, but I get where he's coming from.

I know it's only a stop-gap gig for her, but Lizzy Hale would actually be a really good voalist for them. Can't wait to see some clips of her performing with them.

[The Wretch]

I like her vocals, and she is a good guitarist, but her songs leave me cold. So I'd be interested in hearing her sing the Skid Row material.

[Pagan Saviour]

Some mad stuff being suggested here.

Skid Row only works with Bach. Nobody is crying over any of the many singers that have left.

Whilst thinking of who's passed through the ranks I remembered the feckin Dragonforce guy was in before Mr X Factor. It'll be easier to make a list of who hasn't sung for them at this rate.

I still wouldn't mind seeing them with Bach. He's aged but he has the charisma and they're his songs.

Ah they're not though, he's got co-writing credits on a handful of songs across the albums he was on

I quite liked the last album with Gronwall, would have enjoyed seeing that lineup but understandable why he left

[Pagan Saviour]

You know what I mean, Bach was there. He's a few credits on the subsequent records. He belongs there.

Not a younglad they plucked from the voice or whatever. Not the same.

I remember on the old forum a few were saying Tony Harnell was a brilliant fit.  Grand, perfunctory, can do a job I'd say but possess zero of Bach's character. The voice guy will be forgotten in a month  and they'll have a new best singer and everyone will say what a great fit they are.

[Bürggermeister]

Shame, that last album was the best thing they've done since Slave. Low bar, I know, but it was a very good album. I can fully understand why they wouldn't want to be in the same room as oul Seb, to be fair and now that his voice is shot... yeah, fuck that.

[The Wretch]

I really liked 'Subhuman Race' to be honest, and I'd rate it above that last album. And the two 'United World Rebellion' eps were pretty damn good too.

Yeah, Bach's voice is blown out. But Angel Down was a great record IMO, and should appeal to fans of Skid Row. His work after that is dodgy enough though. The few tracks out from the new one are OK I guess.

[Bürggermeister]

I've never been able to get all the way through Subhuman Race. It's a baffling record. It sounds dull and shit, even though Bob Rock produced it, and the songs are abysmal. Such a let down after what had gone before. Terrible, terrible album, probably would have it in my Top Ten album let downs, seriously 

I'm genuinely stunned someone could find something to like about it
