Sunday's Best: Week 8, 2022

Skid Row will release a new album this year and a new song will probably come out next month. That news is from guitarist Snake Sabo in a recent interview. The news that we are finally getting some new Skid Row tunes made me think back to some of the best live performances by Skid Row. That's our Sunday's Best for this week.

When Skid Row played Wembley Stadium in 1991, it was near magic. A huge crowd and then-vocalist Sebastian Bach was at his prime. "I Remember You" is still just about the best power ballad from the era... at least, in my opinion.

"Youth Gone Wild" at the Moscow Peace Festival, 1989. Bach himself commented on performing at this show when Russia attacked Ukraine overnight Thursday.

"Monkey Business" at Rocklahoma 2009, featuring then-vocalist Johnny Solinger (RIP). I remember this set really well - I was down front with Kari for it and it was about 100 degrees! I liked this song in particular because of the guitar solos.

Holy hell! I saw Gallogs comment and I had to look up the SNL performance. It is killer. I honestly don't remember seeing it before. I'm sure I probably have, but 1991 was a long time ago. This performance of "Monkey Business" is just straight, heavy rock. Amazing.

Great post. I always thought their performance of Monkey Business on Saturday Night Live was great too. Plus, to play like that on national tv and in front of an audience who aren't your fans is even better.

The performances during the rehearsal for the SNL performance are really, really good, too.

First they aren’t Skid Row without Bach. Full fucking stop. Besides that, they were a fabulous band back in the day & to see them with Pantera opening, second row, was fucking amazing! 🤘🏼

Holy shit bk. I was there, too. I remember when bas whipping out his dick during "Get the f*ck out". He preceded that rant with, "I wanna f*ck
each and every single one of you'

Then, on Howard Stern, he tied his cock in a knot.

Haha fletch. My favorite was when he brought out the huge joint, the size of an arm, & he and Phil started smoking it onstage. Good times indeed!
