As a 50 year old and having liked Skid Row since the 80's it's hard to embrace any singer but Sebastian. However after seeing Erik perform that will change. The first person to even remotely rock out and sound like old Skid Row. He's energetic and great with the audience and that's huge. Oh yeah! He can sang too!!

We went to Vegas to catch the Skids/Scorps show last week. Sold out. 7k people and even during Skids everyone was on their feet the whole show and you could clearly see people were absolutely blown away by Erik. I'd known of Erik for the past several years having been a fan of H.E.A.T. Was very bummed when he left last year, but thrilled he joined Skid Row. He's a phenomenal replacement and an amazing fit.

I've been a fan of Erik since Idol way back, and as a person. It is completely mindblowing how ignored he has been here in Sweden, and he's not lone case here. Somehow that great musical talent and voice skill doesnt get that recognized on wide range. Hopefully, the US and world has the amount of love and recognition for him that he truly deserves. Great interview👍🏻

For the past decade, I have been a fan of Erik and his prior band H.E.A.T. I missed the opportunity to see him perform years ago in Chicago, and then felt I would never get to hear his golden pipes live when I heard he left that band. Now he's in a band that I loved growing up, and I'll finally get a chance to see him perform! I love Bach's voice, but was really turned off when meeting him in person on his 1st solo tour. Not a nice guy. I've never met Erik, but he seems like the whole package: voice, presence, and a DECENT HUMAN BEING. I haven't bought a Skid Row album since Bach left, but that will change this fall!

I was just floored, it was Victory with Gronwall on it from H.E.A.T II (their latest album). I was blown away and proceeded to buy all their albums and they're one of my favorite bands now, in large part because of Erik's vocals.

I am just learning of him as of 2 days ago, I have always been team Bach…. But You couldn’t have said it better, he is absolutely perfect in every way, I have no doubt that skid row will now be the 3rd band to sound just as good as the original, ( the other 2 being journey and ironically who he was there to see foreigner) and bringing new life that has been missing since bach was fired, they are all amazing musicians, but bach is one of if not the best technical singer out there, like I said it has taken 25 years, and if you asked me a month ago if could skid row be great again without Sebastian, I Would have told you no way, but I am so happy to say how wrong I have been proven, I am more interested in this then new Guns N’ Roses or any other band from this era now, they were always my favorite, but since bach it hasn’t been the same, I have been watching videos for 2 days straight,,,,, I can Say that I LOVE The current line up of skid row, they better not let him go, he is the last unicorn.period

Like he said he is not trying to replace Sebastian Bach he only wants to perform Skid Row music up to it original standards I've been a fan of the band heat for years Erik did an awesome job in that band. Funny how things work out in the band Heat Erik replaced the original singer Kenny. Now in Skid Row doing the same thing which is back to original audition on some Idol show in Europe doing the song 18 and life and he was only 15 at the time which in turn started his music career. Full circle! This guy is the real deal with his voice and more important his character as a person.
