Asdiz Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 open this summer for gnr? i can guarantee that's what sebastian's thinking."Only way a Skid Row Reunion could happen is if we somehow tried2 bury a 20 year hatchet between us. Would love the chance to do so #SitDown""To be honest, I have said some super shitty things 2 them. & about them. I would like to apologize for shooting my mouth off @iLikeSamiZayn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 they already have a new singer so i doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 After their latest singer quit a couple of weeks ago, Skid Row immediately put out a statement saying there is no way Bas is coming back to the band. It would have been cool though. Trust me, I saw Skid Row open for GNR 25 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadApples87 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 bachs tweets tonight show he's trying anyway.Bas has always been up for doing it. Rachel is the main thorn in that deal. Snake doesn't seem too interested either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoop Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 What's in it for GNR? That brings in zero people that wouldn't already be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsfanoldie Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Was gonna start a thread about this but didn't know where. Yeah, Bach really seems to be laying it on thick here. He probably means it, but its always gonna sound a little disingenuous and clearly selfish.Would be cool to see. I'm not even a Skids fan, but clearly they aren't going anywhere bigger and they all might just have to accept that Skid Row won't really be anyone other than those original 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asdiz Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 bach has always wanted a reunion but this is the first time he's gone so far as to issue a very public apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDwolfwood Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 A Skid Row reunion is as unlikely as GNR's was a year ago atm. Its a shame too, that band has been mediocre since Bach left. Maybe him posting an apology on twitter might break the ice a bit and maybe get both sides to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak1nney Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I could see them getting a younger band that falls into more of the hard rock stuff that the rest of the crowd may listen to. A band like Avenged Sevenfold or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 They could be the opening act with a stronger mid level band like A7X going on before GNR. In Stadiums you need a band who can sell tickets on their own and that is still a draw to bump up attendance. A reunited Skid Row,as much as I love them doesn't add sales since anyone who'd come see them would be at the GNR show anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It makes more sense for a reunited Skid Row to do their own shows at a handful of festivals, they'd open for Bon Jovi if they were going to open for any band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A band like Avenged Sevenfold or something. Eww, I wouldn't be able to stand it. Then stand in the lobby during them. I don't care for many of the acts being brought up. I'm not big on The Killers,A7X or Slipknot. But you'll need a band that is capable of headlining arenas to bring in a different demographic to these shows. Maybe GNR can sell 40,000 tickets per stadium and one of the aforementioned bands bumps it up to 50,000. It's not going to be Metallica,Foo Fighters,Iron Maiden etc since they would be too big to "open" for GNR. So,even as fantasy bookers/promoters, we must think realistically about who could open the tour and still draw their own fan base out to a stadium.

HuskerTornado Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Harnell leaving so soon was a surprise. You start wondering why they can't keep a vocalist...Baz and Rob Affuso have both said they'd be interested in a reunion. How many singers are Rachel and Snake going to go through before they get over 20 year old bs? Their creative peak was with Baz and Rob in the band. Maybe they don't care, but their fanbase certainly does. Bach has put out several very good albums since the split, while the brand of Skid Row has put out nothing above mediocre.

Darkness Descends Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 What's in it for GNR? That brings in zero people that wouldn't already be there.Come to think of it... who else is left in US that could be a good headliner band.From his track record Axl has usually chosen bands that were weird or out of the ordinary... soundgarden etc.. He wanted NWA or during 2000s he chose some scratch DJs.I think A7x or Slipknot would be very cliche. GNR will (IF a reunion tour happens) probably choose some weird rappers or underground bands... probably some international musician who knows.

BadApples87 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The question for Snake, Rachel, and Scotti is this: Do you want to play at bars and night clubs for 500 people. Or bury the hatchet with Baz and play for 2,000-5,000 as a headliner. Or open stadium tours for GnFnRs ha ha ha ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ak1nney Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I think the point I was trying to make is that I really don't think it will be an older band from their era. It'll make it seem too nostalgic or like they are trying to co headline or something. It'll be a younger, somewhat relevant band or a lesser known for dates or switching off. Probably depends on their confidence on filling out the venues. Edited January 7, 2016 by Ak1nney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Johnny was with them for 13 years, it's not like they've had a revolving door of lead singers over the last 20 years. I agree though about Sebastian's solo albums blowing away anything Skid Row has done without him. I have witnessed first hand that Rachel gets a big ol' stick up his ass if you even mention Sebastian around him, the others don't seem to get as bothered by it, which leads me to believe that Rachel is the one preventing any reunion.
