Most bands would keep the same winning formula for their sophomore album. I was able to catch them at Glens Falls Civic Center opening for Aerosmith on the “Pump” tour. They followed up “Youth Gone Wild” with a pair of power ballads, “18 and Life” and “I Remember You” both of which were in heavy rotation on MTV. Sebastian Bach had a voice unmatched in rock at that time. Topping it off was a twenty year old Canadian singer with an operatic vocal range. This band had it all, from the hard driving rhythm section of Rob Affuso on drums and Rachel Bolan on bass to the dual guitar attack of Dave “Snake” Sabo and Scotti Hill. Lead single “Youth Gone Wild” was everywhere that year. Their eponymous debut record dropped in January of 1989. I first got turned onto Skid Row in 1989 by my much cooler older sister.
