Skid Row is a hard rock band that was formed by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave Sabo, who got the band a quick record deal through being close friends with Jon Bon Jovi, lead singer of popular hard rock band Bon Jovi. The band signed a deal with Atlantic Records and their first self-titled album was finally released in 1989. It included their three most famous songs: "18 & Life", "I Remember You" and their first single "Youth Gone Wild". They performed at the Moscow peace festival in 1989 along with Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Gorky Park, Bon Joviand Cinderella.

During 1990, the band prepared to record their sophomore record. Spring 1991 saw the release of "Slave To The Grind"; it was just as succesful as the first album and was also the first heavy metal album ever to reach number one on the American Billboard album charts. In the following year, there was a five-song EP of covers called "B-Side Ourselves". The band took the years 1993 and 1994 off and did not release their third album, "Subhuman Race," until March 1995, which is the last to feature their original line-up. The album was not as successful as their two previous albums.

The band's original line-up parted ways in 1996, and frontman Sebastian Bach moved on to a solo career. Shortly after Bach's depature drummer Rob Affuso quit too. The rest of the members did a project named "Ozone Monday", which never saw a release. There was no sign of reforming until 2001, adding Johnny Solinger as the new singer and Phil Varone on drums. The band finally toured again and put out a new album in 2003, entitled "Thickskin," on their new label, Skid Row Records. The band have recorded new album "Revolutions Per Minute", and are expected to release it in October 2006.
