hbkdx1125 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hello guys and gals. I need some help. I know very little about Skid Row but I hear that if you like GN'R (and I obviously do) then you will like Skid Row. On the other hand, I heard that they were kind of hair metalish. I don't really care for hair metal. So my question is... should I start listening to Skid Row and if so, which CD should I get first? Thanks.

Fizz Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'd recommend the self titled debut album first.That CDs got the tracks that most people would know from them like "18 and life" and "Youth Gone Wild"I've only heard the self titled album and "Slave To The Grind". I enjoyed both.The self titled album is probably more on the "hair metal" scale, compared to "Slave To The Grind" but both albums have some solid tunes and some more "fun" tunes (Big Guns comes to mind). So yeah, get those two. If you want to buy only one Skid Row album at first, I'd get the debut, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbkdx1125 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'll take what you said under consideration. The main reason I asked was because I went this huge mall the other day and saw the debt album for $9.99 and was considering buying it but didn't know if it was worth it. I'm going back tomorrow so I was wondering if I should still get it. Thanks for your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DThockey2 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Skid Row rocks man, they are more metalish than a regular hair band (even though I like hair metal as well.) Buy Slave to the Grind for a heavier listen, the song slave to the Gring rules and there are some other good ones off that cd such as Quicksand Jesus. the self titled album is more hair metalish, but is also a solid listen.

You guys have definitly convinced me that they rock. Now I just have to decide which CD to buy. You say Slave to the Grind is better and Fizz says the self titled ablum is better. I guess I can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Yeah, the 2nd album is heavier than the first, Wasted Time is a great song, show off Bach's amazing pipes!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civil_War Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 No second album kills the first, they sound gunish on the second. The first is amazing too but like its not as good as the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild_Child Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 i have both the self titled debut and "slave to the grind". personally i prefer slave to the grind, but it may be better to get the self titled debut first, eventhough i got "slave to the grind".

hbkdx1125 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks everybody for your opinions. Today I got the self-titled CD. I listened to it and I like it a lot. Bach can really sing. Not as good as Axl but thats nothing to be ashamed of. It is more of the hair metal type of rock but I can handle it. After I listen to this for a while I'll probably get Slave to the Grind. Even though I made my decision I'm still open to hear what you have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 They are pretty good muscians. The music normally rocks but they didn't have a great vocalist. Bach has a good voice but some how they just never come over as being real. Slave to the Grind is classic. I got Thickskin as well, that's their new album. They're still pretty good!!!

MrBrownstone531 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Who is their singer now, and is he anywhere near as good as Bach was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperado Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) I love Skid Row but I only have one cd but I have listen to some songs from Slave To The Grind My favorite song is 18 And Life Edited June 22, 2005 by Desperado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x Axl Rose x Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 "I remember You" is wicked and "wasted years" is about Steven Alder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
