Revolutions Per Minute is best avoided, but Thickskin was a solid album from start to finish at their two United World Rebellion EP's were worth a listen. RIP Johnny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefuck Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Thickskin was released around the time that I discovered Skid Row. Has some cool tracks on it. He seemed like a good and down to earth- kind of a guy, sad to see him go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see he died of liver failure, just out of a bit of morbid curiosity, did he have a drug or alcohol problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 This was a million times better than the Nickelback shit like "Figured You Out" the radio was playing back in 2003: Shame the new Skid Row wasn't ever given a chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering the same myself. If you read the statements from the band regarding the firing it's rather vague. I got the sense it had something to do with some kind of problem with a substance addiction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 RIP Johnny 💔😢, this is very sad. You will be missed by many! I was hoping that he could make it to the liver transplantation but unfortunately his body was already to weak. This hits me hard. I love Skid Row and Johnny did a great job in the band. Many fans didn’t give him the chance but those who did loved his contribution to the band. Thickskin and the United World Rebellion EP s are awesome albums! He was a good guy, always talked to fans and had a smile for us. this is all very very sad… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the sense it had something to do with some kind of problem with a substance addiction. He was not fired due to addiction problems. They stated that he didn’t give all 100% for Skid Row anymore and that he had other priorities. They meant his solo work, he did want to do country albums. For Rachel, Snake and Scotti Skid Row means everything, so when they get the feeling someone doesnt put the same effort in it as they do they begin to think if its the right fit. johnny was the right fit for a long long time but in the end he wanted to do other kind of music which is ok. Bless him As about his liver problem: don t want to speculate or spread rumors. There are two options why someone suffers from liver failure.. Rest in peace Johnny ⭐️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
