Skid Row... Speakers?

Apparently Xounts makes fancy speakers... that are branded with all sorts of things like festivals and band names and whatever else you can think of. Now Skid Row has teamed up with Xounts for some light-up, branded speakers. These things look freaking cool.


When I went to check on the price, I discovered that there are a lot more branded covers including Sammy Hagar, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper and more. These don't come cheap, though: these are more than $800.

Skid Row, 'Piece of Me' - Live

Skid Row will release Live In London (recorded in 2022) next month. Of course "Piece of Me" is a staple at Skid Row shows, so it is no surprise the song is part of the package.


The 2LP or CD/DVD package are available for pre-order now on the band's website.

Saw this post and it filled my heart with joy. "I Remember You" is my favorite Skid Row song - and one of my fave tracks of all time, period!

Lzzy Hale Rocks With Skid Row (There Was Never Any Doubt)

There was no doubt, but the videos prove it: Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale rocked her gigs fronting Skid Row. Moreover, her vocals just prove how amazing Sebastian Bach was back in the day, recording the tracks. Hale worked her tail off to hit every note and she's got a great range! Bach hit the notes in "I Remember You" with ease and it is just a testament to his rare gift.


I wish these videos were pro-shot - I'm greedy like that and I want to hear Lzzy better! There are a couple more dates left - maybe one of those will be pro-shot.



Here's "18 and Life" - did I mention Lzzy looks fantastic too?




A little Halestorm live, just for fun:

Skid Row Music Featured In 'Civil War'

"Sweet Little Sister" from Skid Row's self-titled album is featured in the new movie Civil War. The movie is in theater's now. You can read about it if you click through the article linked below but there are spoilers.


I scanned the article just enough to get the Skid Row featured song because I didn't want to ruin the plot for myself. This is a big deal for Skid Row, so good for them.

Skid Row Announce Lead Singer Departure

Erik Grönwall has left Skid Row. The band says the departure was amicable and Erik says he had to leave the rigors of a touring band because of his health and continued recovery from cancer.

Interestingly, Lzzy Hale of Halestorm will fill in for the band's already-scheduled dates. I think that is amazingly cool and will be fun to see. I hope Erik continues on his path to health. Touring has to be a nightmare of exhaustion for anyone, let alone someone recovering from cancer. I wish him well... and this will just fuel more Sebastian Bach "return to the fold" rumors.
