OH YEAH!| FIRST TIME HEARING Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild REACTION

[@playmeri]

I miss the 80's so much. I would go back in a heartbeat. And yes we were the last of the rebels.

[@alfavan31]

This song still kicks ass all these years later!!! ❤❤❤

[@tristramcoffin926]

Youth Gone Wild is one of the unquestioned anthems informing what it felt like growing up in the 80s.

[@chriso6719]

This was their first ever single in '89, so , yes Jay, it's original singer Sebastian Bach here. When you come back to them, suggest trying "Monkey Business" or "Slave To the Grind".

[@gwts1171]

Monkey Business is my favorite.

[@larzakalazerath6655]

Dam, Slave to the Grind is a really good one too. I just posted the link for Monkey Business before I even read your reply.

Skid Row was SO good!! I love how y'all instinctively understand and appreciate my generation. The music, the culture, everything! We thought we were the kings of everything and I guess we were in so many ways. I love these reactions.

I was 15, when this song and video came out in December 1988. After the video debuted, MTV's switchboard lit up with countless people requesting it. This song was the public's introduction to Skid Row, and their first two albums would be stuff we would indulge in for many years to come! Cheers from northeast Ohio.

This was their first hit and this video got heavy rotation on MTV. Great album & band.

Youth Gone Wild is such a banger!!! Thanks for doing this one. I highly recommend “Monkey Business” and Slave to the Grind” from Skid Row!

[@therealmciver3761]

I was 19 yrs old when this came out. Seen them the following summer opening up for Aerosmith. The 80's was by far the best decade to grow up in. The concerts were amazing. Back then we didn't have the internet. The only way you could hear songs were either buying the cassette or catching it on the radio and only way to see them was catching the video on MTV, when it actually played music videos. All we did was go to concerts

[@tk848]

Yes, we were the youth gone wild. Late nights, loud parties and concerts like this just about every weekend in Chicago. I would not sell those memories for anything. Still the long hair and leather jacket...for life. You really need to check out Dangerous Toys. They were one of my favorite bands from the 1980's. Maybe look at the song "Sticks & Stones".

For me…if any one song defined our generation for us metal head kids…it was this one….man, we stood up against authority…I remember once I was at the mall, long hair, leather jacket…torn jeans…and security followed me everywhere…my friends showed up, we were in a band, and security stopped us and told us we had to leave, we couldn’t be hanging around….we ignored them, went to the food court, ate some pizza and went to the arcade…and when we left, my bass player gave them the middle finger lol….man those were good days!

[@nevarddrol]

Today's music will never top what we had. I know it's a whole new generation, but they lack originality and vocal mastering that the past decades brought. We'll never have the greatest music again. But the younger generation revisits it and finds out what greatness truly was.

Knew you'd love it Rob Squad! Glad you finally got to their debut hit. I was in 10th grade when this came out, and they hit BIG. We loved them and cranked them in our cars at lunch time. Skid Row is one the bands I unfortunately never got to see live. I know they rocked, so that hurts a little.

And Johnny Solinger, was the 2nd lead singer for Skid Row. I worked with him at the City of Denton swimming pool. He was a lifeguard there. And would very often get on the P.A. and showcase his vocal talent. Dude was an amazing friend. No longer than I was around him. RIP JS
