what a voice, a range, a sustain….he absolutely killed it

[@KISStributeNYC97]

Agree!!! Not an easy song to sing. This guy has invigorated the band….good for them.

Erik had some big shoes to fill.....and filled them!

[@kathleenguth2193]

So thankful Erik made a full recovery from Leukemia after his bone marrow transplant. Rock on Erik!!

[@brucifer1965]

Sebastian set the bar pretty high, but wow....Erik has it. Cannot wait to see them live this fall. Kudos to Skid Row and to Erik....cheers.

[@Cas_anova]

In terms of range yes. In terms of technique and actually hitting the notes Erik blows Bach out of the water.

Hands down … my favorite singer today. 👍🏼

[@Radiozo]

This guy and Björn Strid in Soilwork are my favorites.

[@asianhooker100]

H.E.A.T Live in London is one of my favorite albums because of him. 🤘

[@charlesthomas9294]

Damn. This is an incredible vocal performance!

[@tts42572]

This is fantastic! Glad to see this song in the set as it's probably my favorite Skid Row song if I had to pick one. Hopefully it stays in their set!

[@gstmusic69]

Erik is f'n amazing...no matter what he sings. The life he has brought back into one of my favorite bands...Incredible.

[@theheidis]

I agree! Erik is unbelievably amazing 💗

[@tts42572]

So true! Nice to see this band back. I was a fan of them back in the day with Bach but they kind of fell off my radar. But they're squarely back on my radar now. Looking forward to seeing what they can accomplish with Erik. Hopefully there's many more albums with him as I feel like he's the guy they've been searching for since Bach left.

[@hamory-nu3rr8ox2l]

대단하네 저걸 부르다니 ㅋㅋㅋ

[@nickmelara78]

Spectacular job! This song is very easy to sing flat but he was pitch perfect. That scream is famously impossible but he did it! Amazing

[@KISStributeNYC97]

Holy shit!!!! This was so good. It’s impossible to not compare singers….but this is the closest they’ve ever gotten to that legacy sound. The spirit is there….the vocals are there….and the band still kicks. I’m here for this and would definitely go see this show if they play near me. Thanks for the video!!!!!

[@rip-vanwinkle]

Sebastian recorded this masterpiece 33 years ago. But hard rock singers voices have a shelf life and Bach is no exception. Erik is a worthy replacement and it just makes me happy to see him tear this song up and see the band keep plugging away at a high level. Long live Rock and Roll!

[@myprivateyoutube1440]

Sebastian used to often tank the high notes live in his prime..... This is as good as most of SBs best performances of this song

[@fvgoya]

I LOVE this song!!!! I remember when I bought the Slave to the Grind vinyl disk in '92. I listened that disk all the time. Wasted Time and In a Darkened Room it is also one of my favorite Skid Row songs.

[@kristerlundqvist4436]

Absolutely incredible and admirable that this band has found the two best singers of each time? Good work!

[@catalinasoto16]

What a beautiful song and what a great performance by Erik 👏👏👏

[@greghillmusic]

This guy just nails every note.

[@shredrenesol]

Best live performance of this song ever!

[@BiggDaddyCJ]

Obviously the only one you have ever seen then.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHitdJeNfteip5I Notice Baz doesn't pull the microphone away from his mouth on the sustained notes because he knows he can hit them. Erik does not do this....he isn't even CLOSE to Baz.

[@shredrenesol]

@@BiggDaddyCJ I've already watched that one, and don't get me wrong, I love young sebastian's voice, but the biggest difference between erik and sebastian is that erik keeps every note in tune, even the hardest and highest ones, and sebastian... well, you can listen to him

[@donniemartin8747]

@@BiggDaddyCJ Agreed. Erik does a brilliant job and is in tune for sure BUT, but, the power isn't there. The music which is not overly loud almost drowns out his vocals... He is singing with intensity (but also strain) but not full vocal power like SB did. Many original singers don't sing to their full volume potential but Baz did in his versions back in the day. And for that, I give the nod to Baz... and of course he wasn't trying to sound like anyone but himself.

[@rickrick6933]

Prime Baz destroyed Eric. I am sorry I like him and I think he is the right man for the job 2023 but 92 Bach was amazing.

[@johndoe-ge3qy]

​@@donniemartin8747that is the audio engineers fault

[@brianpatrickreddington1750]

Erik fits Skid Row so much better than any other replacement singer since Bach was forced out in 1996

[@layn3904]

Thats exactly what im thinking!! My love for Skid Row has come back thanks to this guy!!

[@jymmid.8278]

Likely one of SR hardest vocals to pull off. Erik nailed it A+++.

[@MadPata]

One thing i love & admire with Erik is he give always 100 % of him self, doesn't matter what he sing or doing.. That is a true rock star attityde! Guys!! u have to look him do Alone cover at his youtube channel.. it blow´s my mind for sure! Keep em rolling Erik!🎸

[@rickbrunet2559]

Such a phenomenal voice!

[@JotunStudio]

This is insane! The part after the solo was killer, so well performed with such strength and passion...Erik is amazing, and the guys still play their songs to an amazing level.

Bach has never nailed this song live of the 2 to 3 live recordings available of this song on KZbin. This was spot on. More or less like on the album! Amazing!

[@angymclaughlin2688]

This is my favorite Skid Row song. Love to hear it live!

[@bobdeal2241]

While we cannot deny the creator of the vocal parts WAS amazing, Erik is simply put THE most incredible singer I’ve heard in years. His energy onstage rivals the greats, and as previously stated DUDES GOT PIPES FOR DAYS. THE MIGHTY FU**IN SKID ROW…. LONG MAY THEY REIGN.

[@zinglizh]

Really happy you have pulled this one back out of the vault. My favorite Skid ballad, hands down. And a real bitch to sing, especially live. Great work Erik!

[@phunkymonkiee]

He did it, the absolute madlad. Even Bach can barely do half this song live any more.

[@mabeltimas1254]

Oh yes he can..he doesn't have to prove it to anyone

[@shellybean9]

​@@mabeltimas1254 He can't, even though he keeps trying to prove it to everyone. Even Bach himself has said his voice isn't what it used to be. Btw Erik's not trying to prove anything to anyone, he sings this way because he can, and because IT IS that effortless. Bach absolutely cannot do this anymore, booze and drugs took care of that sadly.

[@culleykaufman2295]

Holy Fuck, this is not a easy song and he totally killed it....impressive! Good job Erik.... Lets hear October song live!!

[@theheidis]

Yes! Can’t wait to hear October Song live! 💕

[@shanefitz9648]

Oh he's getting comfortable in his role and his voice is really shining through Erik is sounding amazing and the band sounds solid as fuck...

[@KISStributeNYC97]

Have to agree. I’ve only seen videos of when he first got in the band. But just looking at this video….yes, you’re right…he seems very comfortable now, and the band is still bringing it. What a find this guy was. You can’t beat it if you want the legacy sound of Skid Row. Hope to catch this show.

[@shanefitz9648]

@@KISStributeNYC97 yeah you can definitely hear a difference in the way the band plays too... They're afraid to screw this up and Eric quits so he can really do no wrong which is unfortunately what got them in trouble with Sebastian they really created that monster themselves but not wanting to reel him in from the start... Erik seems like more of a humble kid... now they just gotta keep him involved in writing new material... Erik got that swedish background and his vocals can handle some heavier shit than the nostalgic hits... Not that they should stray to far from their sound but they were a far heavier of a band by Subhuman Race than they were on their debut album and would fit in on a bill with Metallica or Megadeth as opposed to a Bon Jovi or a Def Leppard tour....

[@edwardtran1974]

Sebastian missed the notes live. But Erik nails it. BTW Erik was only 3 years old when this song came out!

[@seb5]

WTF! Im sorry man... but as far as I know.... not even Sebastian has a live version of this gem sang with this insane quality Erik you are a freaking best

[@BiggDaddyCJ]

Well then let me educate you..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHitdJeNfteip5I Notice Baz doesn't pull the microphone away from his mouth on the sustained notes because he knows he can hit them. Erik does not do this....he isn't even CLOSE to Baz.

[@seb5]

@@BiggDaddyCJ mm first of all.... ive been listening to skidrow since the first album so.. let me educate you? Take a chill pill man... Second... I love sebastian and he was one of the reasons I started singing. Hes a freaking legend. Im not questioning that. But this song from my opinion is one of the hardest skidrow songs to sing (along with wasted time) Anyway.. at the end you can clearly see that hes not hitting the note.... If you want a proper Bach live you have the SNL monkey business. But if you prefer this live version is fine man. Relax. Both amazing singers. Enjoy them.

[@alkaadwitiya5333]

It's not Apple to apple man.. Eric is very very younger than bach.. Look about 30 years ago.. Bach can do it better even with the old technologi of the stage and old type of microphone.. You know what i mean..

[@azono.]

@@BiggDaddyCJ What? Bach has never sung this live without it being messy and pitchy, he doesn’t even hit the notes for the high parts, he’s either flat or a half step down on purpose. The sound engineering of this live show seems quite unfortunate . Notice how Erik keeps moving his earpieces, he can’t hear himself sing properly and that’s not his fault. Never the less, i’d rather hear a correct clean note with pulling the mic away than everything i hear from Bach doing this song live. He was great for the time and he was an amazing guy to watch live, his energy etc, but it’s changed now and for people not still overly obsessed with the past, they’ll realise the singing in Skid Row now is way better than it ever used to be

[@seb5]

@@alkaadwitiya5333 ​ It is actually apple to apple. Im not comparing old bach with young Erik. My comment was clear. "as far as I know.... not even Sebastian has a live version of this gem sang with this insane quality" So that includes 90s Bach. this Chad guy shared a pretty solid live version of Bach.. obviously singing like a badass rockstar.. but as @Azono explain it very clear on his comment "Bach has never sung this live without it being messy and pitchy, he doesn’t even hit the notes for the high parts, he’s either flat or a half step down on purpose"

[@rejuvenator8966]

Look for youtube vid title "Skid Row Oslo December 1991.m2ts", that's one of his best shots at this song. Imo even tho it still has a little of that Bach live roughness and pitchyness, I'll pick that one over this for the extra magic. Imo of course

[@manuelespinosa450]

Look at versions from 1991 in Oslo (the best), Brazil, St Louis, Miami and Sweden in 1992.. The kid here has some issues w/the 1st part of the chorus to reach/sustain the air/notes.. At the end on the highest peak of the song he takes some air which is something Bach didnt use to do and I would say even on the recent years when started playing it again..

[@fourlomm]

I saw skid Row twice in 92 I believe and yeah This sounds as good now as Bach and Skid Row sounded then.

I bought the debut cassette tape at age 8, and was hooked. The way Bach sang over the years was generational, but it sounds like he wasn’t conducive to the band reaching creative pinnacles. This guy has the tools, and it seems like the band is reemergence is here. Redemption. 🤟
