About this listen
Episode #295 celebrates Skid Row’s explosive 1989 self-titled debut album, the gritty hard rock masterpiece that launched the New Jersey band, featuring Sebastian Bach’s soaring vocals, Rachel Bolan and Dave “The Snake” Sabo’s songwriting, and produced by Michael Wagener, into multi-platinum stardom with massive hits like the rebellious anthem “Youth Gone Wild,” the tragic storytelling of “18 and Life” (peaking at No. 4 on the Hot 100), and the heartfelt power ballad “I Remember You” (No. 6). Peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and eventually certified 5× platinum in the US amid heavy MTV rotation and tours with Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, it blended raw attitude with catchy hooks as one of the last great hair metal successes before grunge took over, pure ’80s rebellion with timeless energy.
