"There was talk about it, the two camps went back and forth, and it was not to happen. "But it was a battle - it was really down in the fucking shitholes again, and the vans and the RVs and the shitty hotels, when you get them, and we worked our way up."ĭespite the fact that rebuilding the SKID ROW brand has been anything but easy, Hill is adamant that he has no interest in a reunion with Bach. We're out playing now and we're having a really good time," he said. Hill called SKID ROW's relaunch "very difficult" and described the band's journey as "a battle to get where we're at now. This is what's happening.' So that's what we did."
People are gonna freak out, but they can start their own fucking band then - do it the way they wanna do it. And I remember Snake and I were going to New York one day, we were on the ferry riding over there, and he was, like, 'Would you be interested in doing SKID ROW with a different singer?' I was, like, 'Yeah. "But after a while, that just wasn't feeling right. "We just wanted to try something different - whatever comes out comes out - not particularly for heavy music, or any kind of music," he explained. I need a break.'"Īccording to Scotti, he didn't see any of his bandmates for "probably a year" until he, Snake and Rachel "started a little side project," the aforementioned OZONE MONDAY. So with all that combined, you've got guys that just were, like, 'All right. So when there's lots of turmoil and stuff like that, it's hard to go on. For people that get along, that will wear thin. I mean, we went out on that first tour - it was sixteen months - we came home, we did a record, we went back on tour for twenty-two months, we came back home, we did another record, we went on… We were out for a long time, but those first two tours were really long. So when that happened, we just all stopped calling each other. Everybody had had enough of everything, and it wasn't worth it for anybody to leave the house for that. And at that point, with everything that was going on internally in the band, something was gonna give, and that just happened to be what it was. And then we had gone out and done that tour and it was a failure. He said: "Well, at that point, grunge had come into play. Hill also talked about SKID ROW's decision to take a break following Bach's departure from the band. "He called his house on Thanksgiving and said some horrible things into his answering machine, and Snake says, 'You know what? I'm not gonna be in a band with you anymore.' There you go. "That caused a giant uproar is what it did, and did something to Snake that was unacceptable," Hill revealed (hear audio below).
Eight months later, Harnell exited the band and was replaced by South African-born, British-based singer ZP Theart, who previously fronted DRAGONFORCE, TANK and I AM I.ĭuring an appearance on the August 7 episode of "Another FN Podcast", Hill was asked if it's true that Bach was relieved of his duties from SKID ROW when he reportedly booked the group to open for KISS without first consulting his bandmates. SKID ROW fired Solinger over the phone in April 2015, a few hours before announcing ex- TNT vocalist Tony Harnell as his replacement. In 1999, SKID ROW reformed and, after a bit of shuffling over the years, featured a lineup consisting of original bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarists Dave "Snake" Sabo and Hill, alongside drummer Rob Hammersmith and singer Johnny Solinger. Instead of throwing in the towel, the remaining members took a hiatus and went on to play briefly in a band called OZONE MONDAY. Two and a half years ago, Hill ruled out the possibility of a SKID ROW reunion with singer Sebastian Bach, explaining he and his bandmates don't want to "put ourselves in a volatile situation and be unhappy and destroy what we have now."īach fronted SKID ROW until 1996, when he was fired. Watch the end to see my amp and settings. "Ive been asked many times about this solo, and if I would do a video lesson. In a statement accompanying the video's YouTube release, Hill wrote: "Coming to you from high atop of the Shitty Vista Building in Black Lung Canyon California.
