I was the biggest Skid Row fan back in the day. Loved the self-titled as a kid, and then Slave to the Grind really hit the sweet spot with some of the more serious subjects and heavier music. And production issues aside, I loved Subhuman Race. I tried with Solinger, and the rest, but they don't sound as edgy at all.
So, having never seen Skid Row or Baz before, I just don't know. Baz can't sing AT ALL. I mean, he was so bad on his last tour, I had a cheap ticket (15 bucks or something) and I passed given it was mid-week and I saw he was playing some lame 65-minute set with four opening bands. I had a Skid Row ticket for this TINY (less than 100 people) club in midtown about 10 years ago, and passed on that too, for some reason.
When ZP was announced, I thought they made an improvement on Solinger and Harnell. The former was just too bland, and the latter too polished. I'm interested in seeing them, but if only ZP is into it, and the rest of the band is just standing there, forget it. Such a shame. I get that Baz let his voice go to shit, and he's not easy to work with. And I realize that in their 50s, Rachel, Snake, and Scotty just don't really care, they are getting paid. But that band had something really special that still touches a nerve, and you'd think they'd at least get in a room and talk about their issues.
