Skid Row Opening For KISS! (Pt.1)

[@elianecampos7787]

People often have no idea how hectic and exhausting it’s to be on a tour like this, but so amazing and rewarding at the same time. Great vlog!!

You are so right, thank you!

[@WhiteOak09]

Awesome job chief , you sound amazing 👏 .

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

Funny kinda, the Skids fired Bach over opening for Kiss! Skids said they were too good to open for Kiss. Killer job anyhow.

[@JDWorkshop-wn9tt]

It’s very cool that you take the time to share this behind the scenes stuff from the road! Thanks for being cool and, real! Skid Row!🎸

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!

[@giorgiofelicia6170]

Saw you guys at Sweden Rock and was totally blown away with your energy and vocal ability . God bless you and keep you safe ❤

Thank you sir!

[@azono.]

[@Manuela-07]

Wow, the stage looks great! It's wonderful to see all the great venues you've played at. And like I said, it makes me happy to see you play on all these wonderful shows. 💯🎶 YOU made a lot of people happy on this tour, happy smiles everywhere as people leave the venue after a Skid Row show. ❤🫶🎶🤘💯 Thank you for the vlog.

[@ashleyweaver7938]

I'm going to say thank you to all the workers behind the scenes so we can enjoy the shows.And you're always amazing 🎶🎤🎶 Have a fantastic tour ❤

Thank you so much!!

[@taylor.cameron]

Love getting to see a behind the scenes look at the tour!🤘🏻

[@saracasados626]

Thank you for showing us the behind the scenes of shows....its pretty awesome to see everything.

[@ryanhennessey977]

Really enjoying these tour vlogs! Its refreshing to have your perspective as an artist, and a music fan. Very much appreciated 👊🏻🤘🏻

[@heatherr1141]

I found you and liked your sound just singing random songs. I started following and learned you are lead singer now in one of my favorite bands. I grew up in the 80s. Big hair bands is what we called them. Skid row was played every day. My brother and I always played 18 and life over and over when we were young . It is cool I liked you before I even knew about It. So I know I just really appreciate your voice and personality. I’m so happy for you. Please stay personable! You are a great people person and have a friendly spirit. I hope it stays that way. Sorry to hear of the struggles with cancer but glad you are through it and doing so well. Congratulations 🎊🎈 ❤😊

[@markmccleary7276]

Ironically, Sebastian was kicked out of the band for signing Skid Row up to open for KISS.

[@prettyflamingo2812]

Oh wow 😂

[@Deriviado]

From a Knivstabo to another Knivstabo, great to see you doing so awesome!

[@ASH_IRIN]

Thanks for saying that

[@staceygutheridge4954]

I know it might suck being away from your family when touring but it is so cool all the places you get to see!! Plus all the other bands you get to see when you are at festivals. So glad you do these vlogs because we never realize how much it takes to do shows and festivals. And it is pretty awesome that you thank all those involved. You such a sweet guy!! ❤❤

Thanks Stacey! Glad you're enjoying these vlogs, it makes it more fun for me.

[@anita.amalie]

[@mjmjphillips]

Great insights into what really goes on behind the scene. Awesome content Eric and keep rockin’ 🤘🏻

Thanks for watching! Glad you like this!

[@sylviegrondin5288]

KISS always performs great shows you’re lucky to have been there 🤘😘

[@wrathforged2179]

I really think that KISS is lucky to be in the presence of Erik Grönwall...🤭

[@VendettaAustralia]

I went to hellfest last year and saw the skid row ad for the new album in the programme. I said to anyone who would listen "I bet skid row play next year" and they did.

There ya go! ;)

[@rfdiehardfan]

It is always fun to watch your vlog. I kept smiling and laughing when I was watching this one. Keep up the good work, Erik! I am glad you are having a good time. 🤘🤘

Thank you for saying that, makes the vlogging more fun!

[@sachikopanda4691]

I'm glad to see you're enjoying the tour with KISS. I love the scene of you like a Jack-in-the-box.😂I'm happy to see you enjoyed Spanish foods,too!It looks so delicious!🇪🇸

Spanish food is so delicious!

[@Melissa_9]

Great vlog as always!🖤 I'm so happy for you that you can play in all these great places. And that you could open for KISS. 🖤 That is so cool!🤘🏻 I saw you in Cologne. Both shows were absolutely amazing!🖤🔥 It was so great to see you both in one evening!🥹🤘🏻

Thanks Melissa!!

[@Melissa_9]

@ I thank you!🖤

[@shawncarswellg9401]

Skid Row and Kiss😱😱😱😱😱 that would be so awesome

We had a few great shows together!

[@terrymeyer]

Eric, we saw your first show with Skid Row opening for The Scorpions in Vegas and you blew us away, I'm so glad the see you are still out there kicking ass with the boys. Rock On!!! 🤘

That was a special night, thanks for being there!

[@terrymeyer]

@ My wife and I still talk about that night, you came out and literally blew us away. You were so humble and thankful for the opportunity you were given and oh yeah you can sing too, you have one of the best voices I have heard in a long long time. Stay healthy and hope to see you again sometime soon.

[@Rivin5191]

Funny story. Casey was side stage in Lucca and I knew I recognized him but didn’t know he was playing other shows. I turned and said to him “Your singer is a bit of a weirdo isn’t he!?” And he responded with a laugh. Turns out, we are all weirdos. Didn’t get a chance to say bye but was a great time sharing the stage with ya. Hopefully the KISS crew was accommodating. Thanks for being easy and staying out of the way - KISS Crew

Haha that's great... thanks for having us on this tour! Until next time.

[@francamarianini7936]

Thanks Erik for bringing us on this Festival tour around Europe 🤘🔥

More to come!

KISS IS THE SHIT!! BEST BAND I HAVE EVER SEEN!! I LIVE IN NY, ON LONG ISLAND...THEY ARE OUR HOME BOYS... DEC THEY WILL BE HERE AT MSG IN NYC ...OHHH YESSSS LAST AND FINAL 2 SHOWS...😢❤❤❤👍

[@intblacklight]

👍📽️Great report. I hope to see again soon the group Skid Row in Lyon for a full concert. Exemple Festival "nuits de Fourvière" Lyon 🔥🎸🎙️🔥 the concert at Halle Tony Garnier was Amazing.

[@TheThuss]

I was so freaking happy seeing you walk the streets of Cartagena. I havn't been back there since 2007, but it always felt like a second home. I decided to move there at one point but only ended up staying for 10 weeks before missing my cat to much and went back home to Sweden :P

Haha I hear you, Cartagena ain't got shit on cats!!

[@hellsbells7516]

Wow it's amazing to see how it looks and all the work involved to get a great gig ready. Looks a fun tour, hope your enjoying it

It sure was a great tour! Really enjoyed it.

[@lucianacordeiro]

ERIK GRÖNWALL THANKS ❤ LOVED ❤

[@azurenojito2251]

Every band needs a super hero like Casey Sproatt. Stay well, man. Take care, Erik. xx

I agree. Casey for president!

[@PeterFilbert]

[@late_nightlady]

🤩 Love the energy of the festivals all of these people together for same reason music ❤🎶 Btw you love spain but spain loves you more. 😉😘

Are you sure?! I don't think that's possible.

[@late_nightlady]

@ 😂❤️❤️

[@Rabant777]

Thanks for posting Mr G. I'm enjoying Skindred and The Wild Things as the Kiss supports here in the UK ...... but it would have been cool to switch it up as so many of us Kiss fans do multiple shows .... and the European mainland has Skid Row, Airbourne, The Darkness, Eagles of Death Metal; Hollywood Vampires; Lordi; Nightflight Orchestra; Dirty Honey etc.

[@violainedoucet9978]

Love being with you on the road ❤Great Vlog see you next week 🤘

New vlog on the way!

[@michaela3440]

[@craigrock8444]

I hope if you guys get to Minnesota in the states sometime, I get to come see it! I was there in 89 to see Baz and I'd love to be there to see you bro! Take care and keep on Rockin!!

Thanks Craig appreciate it that very much!

[@mustaine566]

Ohh mentioned Less Than Jake from the banner with the bands. He must be a fan of em.

[@sherririggio4335]

You know, I always wanted to head straight to the sign marked Backstage! Kinda like pre-boarding on First Class!

Oh yeah! ;)

[@theresesvensson5082]

Wow, jag kollar mycket KZbin, asså du är i särklass BÄST! Love it, tack för att vi få följa med på turnén 🎉superkul 🤘😍🤩⭐️

[@cmd1958]

Anyone know what songs/bands are playing in the background of the video at 12:45 and 13:50 ???

Not really sure to be honest. It's from a music site where I pay for a license to use certain songs in the vlogs.

[@juancarlosortiz4188]

Estuve en el ROCK IMPERIUM y estuvisteis geniales, me lo pasé de puta madre 🤘🤘,ojalá grabeis algún dvd porque el setlist es espectacular

[@celestecorlatti8532]

Wow.. Ilove your vlogs..awesome all the work behind the shows.thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much 😊

[@BloodStainedTear]

I've seen KISS with Skid Row and Ted Nugent in Indianapolis Indiana during the Réunion Tour

[@hauge-sol]

Grymt 👍

Tack!

[@mariesteenebruggen1728]

Thank you so much Erik for these vlogs 😍 As a Belgian fan, I would like to say, Yes, some people are here for you 🤩 I bought the Kiss ticket only to see Skid Row, and I’m not the only one 😁 Also I’m sorry to say that the video you used for GrasPop was not in GrasPop, you were on the left stage at GP 😬 All Europe is waiting for you guys to come back 🤘🏻💥🙏🏻👋🏻

Haha oh really? Well I wonder where that video was from then... probably France. Oh well. Good show anyways ;) Glad you like these vlogs!

[@pacoloco4030]

Í saw you guys June 12 in Amsterdam! It was a great show, you guys were LOUDER than Kiss LOL!!!! When are you guys coming back to Holland?? Also, i just wanted to say that I prefer buying my cd's and lp's in the shops so i had to walk almost 2 miles to get the new Skid Row when it came out!! (My bike was in the shop!) It was worth the walk, 4 miles in total, got some great music and lost some weight in the process.

Thank you! That's awesome. No plans to come back yet but we'll be there eventually ;)

[@chr1llee]

I'm from Sweden but I'll write in English. Do the guys in KISS remember you from IDOL? When you sang "Shout it out loud"?

Haha we didn't talk about that but I think they do. I met Andreas Carlsson at the show in Amsterdam.

Another town, another place Another girl, another face Another truck, another race I'm eating junk, feeling bad Another night, I'm going mad My woman's leaving, I feel sad But I just love the life I lead Another beer is what I need Another gig, my ears bleed We are the road crew Another town I've left behind Another drink, completely blind Another hotel I can't find Another backstage pass for you Another tube of super glue Another border to get through I'm driving like a maniac Driving my way to hell and back Another room, a case to pack We are the road crew Another hotel we can burn Another screw, another turn Another Europe map to learn Another truckstop on the way Another game that I can play Another word I learned to say Another blasted customs post Another bloody foreign coast Another set of scars to boast We are the road crew That's right

[@noinfo326]

I can't believe this. What a slap in the face to Sebastian. Didn't he get kicked out because he wanted to tour with Kiss?

[@rosishagstrom4209]

Såg dig på Sweden Rock 🤘🥰

Det var kul det!

[@tapanim6576]

🤘😎🤘

[@bjorncalmgren6699]

Should hav been Kiss as support act instead of Skid Row

[@grahamvarey1144]

Ya ok ...not with this current garbage lineup

[@mmmetalwolf]

Ehhh no

[@mmmetalwolf]

@@grahamvarey1144and This kiss Line up is good

[@bjorncalmgren6699]

Kiss is one of the most overrated bands in the world. Skid Row i actually geting better then Theo wire in the days

[@mmmetalwolf]

@@bjorncalmgren6699 ehhh no Kiss is one of the best band in the world

[@jockeeriksson3145]

Kiss know you since idol right, shout it out loud

Yes sir!

[@erkjan]

Hej Erik...har du nån kontakt med Calle Kristiansson?

Nada ;)

[@jukesters123]

Eric can you boys book more dates in Vancouver BC area?

I hope so!!

[@MikeHart72]

The irony lol

[@НадеждаХристова-ц5ы]

Ерик детенцето ми на музиката гръонвал

[@MNNMMNNMMNNM]

KISS not playing same venue like Metallica, probably half size

[@rockinvegan1765]

Haha, diet coke is actually not bad for your health. Proven by a lot of studies.

That's good to hear!

[@robertlove7013]

Skid Row w/o Sabastian Bach is a nobody band lol

[@ZeldaLu1010]

Your vlogs are so funny Make me laugh every time

Love to hear that, thank you!

[@charles-mp9nt]

What's bullshit is they fired Bach for saying they would open for KISS and here they are opening for KISS sorry but Skid Row is not the same without Bach

[@vixx4269]

Even though you are not here this year I so enjoy watching all the footage of the shows its just amazing..and all the members pics too! It just all looks like sooo much fun!

Thank you, that makes me a happy vlog:er.
