Skid Row

One of the best 1980's and early 1990's American heavy metal bands; that ever existed. They wrote very mature content; but were very overlooked and overshadowed. (both by the Glam metal i.e. Guns N' Roses; and Grunge music scenes. i.e. Nirvana; But still managed to stand-tall.) Their music and lyrical content was about Relationships, partying/good times, tragedy, life's struggles/hardships and life out on the streets. By 1996; Sebastian Bach left the band. He noticed the band were starting to become egotistical assholes with their new found success; and begin to disagree with them on creative issues; so he opted to quit the band. Skid Row never really recovered without him in the mainstream and later faded into obscurity. Their music skill declined as musicians as well; and the new "Skid Row" without him, sounds like a painful post-grunge Nickelback or Creed version. Seb's departure somewhat hindered Skid Row's fanbase; and alienated a lot of original fans. Skid Row needed Sebastian Bach more than he needed them. If Skid Row continued with Seb, they might have became the next Alice in Chains.
