The Best Videos Of 1989 - '18 and Life'

Perhaps one of the greatest rock debut albums ever, Skid Row came out in 1989. Skid Row was smart in just going with the self-title for their debut. It helped brand them and the album seamlessly - and with the beautiful Sebastian Bach at the helm and amazing songs to boot - success was all but inevitable.

There are so many great tracks on Skid Row, but I think the best video + song combo is "18 and Life." The video matches the story of the song - and each band member gets a chance to be a star against a black backdrop. What could be better?

Skid Row's New Track 'Time Bomb' Is Catchy

I have to give Skid Row credit: their new music is solid. It doesn't sound like the old days exactly, but it is good for sure. "Time Bomb" is the latest Skid Row single from the upcoming album The Gang's All Here, due October 14. An official video for "Time Bomb" is coming next week.

I like the chorus - it is snappy. A good foot-tapper.

'Tear It Down' - Skid Row

I'm catching up on... everything and I see that Skid Row released a new song while I was at sea. "Tear It Down" is one hell of a catchy tune! The song will be on the upcoming album The Gang's All Here. I think "Tear It Down" is the best Skid Row song in about 20 years. New vocalist Erik Gronwall sounds amazing. All that said, the video clip itself is pretty bad but what matters is the music.

I can't get the chorus out of my head! I wish Skid Row much success with this new effort.

Skid Row Release 'The Gang's All Here' Video

"Created by fans, for the fans." That is how Skid Row describes their newest video. The clip is in support of the track "The Gang's All Here" from the upcoming album of the same name. I still think the song and album name is some subtle shade, but maybe I am reading too much into it. Then again, we are talking about Skid Row here. The guys know how to hold a grudge!

We are excited to announce the details of the BRAND NEW @OfficialSkidRow ROW video!

Join the gang and watch the premiere of the official fan video for “The Gang’s All Here”

Created by the fans, for the fans.

Sebastian Bach Takes A Good-Natured Slap

Sebastian Bach does a lot of Cameo clips. Those are video messages that people pay for as gifts to others. Anyway, Bach seemingly did a Cameo to... himself yesterday for his birthday. It included a slap, an "announcement" that he is not in Skid Row and more. I have to say, I was amused. Click the video inside the tweet to see the slap!

ANNOUNCEMENT! Hey! WE'RE GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER! Cya this Sunday Las Vegas!! Residency??? @Suzanne_Le @craiggasscomedy @5FDPChrisKael@paparoach @RockFantasyCamp@VampdVegas Happy Birthday to ME!!! https://t.co/MzDTsRko1c
