Skid Row - a fairly well-known and still popular American metal band, formed in 1986 in New Jersey. It is noteworthy, but the members took their name from a poor neighbourhood in Los Angeles, although in the U.S.A. "Skid Row." any neighbourhood with a lot of homeless and poor people. Despite its far from the most impressive name, the band managed to build a dizzying career and earn a loud name all over the world! Today the band boasts a rich discography, rich and diverse repertoire - from heartfelt ballads to rocking tracks, as well as multi-million circulation and views of clips on YouTube. Let's face it: it's speaks volumes…
Skid Row legend turned handsome. Sebastian Bach: in his youth he was an idol for millions of girls from all over the world, and today he remains an icon of his time and genre, as well as a source of inspiration for today's generation of vocalists. His voice sounds exciting, beautiful, strong... Bach is one of the best and most colourful metal vocalists of his era. But today we will talk not about his vocal data, but about the very songs that made the band so popular. This one Skid Row's top songs by Fuzz Music magazine!
"Slave to the Grind"
Great track from eponymous of the 1991 album.
"I am forced to work from morning to night almost for nothing,
I'm just another cog in the machine...well, no!"
Everything here is perfect: the opening riff, the stunning lyrics, the stirring performance... All of these factors made this a song about life brilliant!
"Monkey Business."
The first single from the second album "Slave to the Grind"for fans "Monkey Business." was kind of a surprise track! It was the first acquaintance of many people with the band's transition from glam rock to a more mature metal sound.
Although the song didn't even make the top 40, it is still fondly remembered and actively rotated on stations dedicated to the classic rock. As you can see - we didn't ignore it either!
"In A Darkened Room"
"In a darkened room." - That's the romantic name given to a song written Bach in conjunction with Dave Szabo и Rachel Bolan. The lyric is very powerful, as is the sound: it's a beautiful message about the importance of hope in the face of despair.....
"Will I be able to face the day,
Troubled by remorse
And watching them become tangible,
While hopes of salvation turn to ashes?"
"Wasted Time."
A gorgeous track, for which a very attractive music video was shot. By the way: the number of its views is gradually approaching the mark 8 million…
"Wasted Time." has achieved success on both sides of the Atlantic, and is often characterised by critics as a "Skid Row's last real hit."Bach himself said that the song was dedicated to his former drummer. Bach himself said that this composition was dedicated to the former drummer of the band Guns N' RosesSteven Adler, who has long struggled with his addiction.
"Piece of Me"
Business card live performances groups, "Piece of Me" cannot be overlooked!
What's most interesting is that it's a song from of the debut album Skid Row, which came out at the end of the 80s. It's been so many years, and it sounds very cool and fresh, as if it came out just recently!
"Quicksand Jesus."
One of the most unique of Skid Row songs that had a big personal value for the bass player Rachel Bolan. During the interview, he said that this song is about the battles with faith and religious issues that he and his bandmate have had Dave Szabo have experienced in their lives.
"Quicksilver Jesus." remains one of the most recognisable and relevant tracks of the band, which is familiar to every metal fan.
"I Remember You"
For Skid Row, it was first powerful balladbut today. "I Remember You" is one of the most powerful and heartfelt lyrical compositions in history! It's already a classic, and an extremely sumptuous one at that....
This powerful track truly touches the deepest strings of the listener's heart. It's no wonder that emotional clip it's been viewed 60 million times!
"18 And Life."
Most people who grew up in the 80s and 90s have heard this song at least once in their lives. A worthy highlight of the eponymous debut, it reached number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. A short time later, VH1 would place it at No. 60 among the best hard rock songs of all time. Ah, yes: just three months after its release. "18 And Life." received a gold certificate.
Why has this composition found such success? It's easy to understand: with deep lyrics, incredible riffs, and a gut-wrenching with a powerful rendition of Bachit's four minutes of perfection!
"Youth Gone Wild"
Skid Row's first radio single became an anthem of a disturbed generation! Actually, everything is clear from the title: "The youth have gone mad.". This was a track about many teens and young adults who got tired of following the rules and... just started rebelling!
It wasn't a significant hit on the charts, but "Youth Gone Wild" became a favourite song many fans of the band.
