This is the closest thing to skid row i have ever heard in 30 years. Kudos eric 👍👍

[@larryshaw6512]

Absolutely 💯‼️

[@nicoleforeman3376]

..soo true!!!!

[@garylindstrom3148]

Goddamn they finally found a great singer!!! Great voice!!!!

[@robertmccartin2025]

The band scored with this dude! They sound great and he is bring it to the table man! So cool to see metal still alive! Thanks Erik!

[@NamTran-fl2ym]

Finally they found a guy can hit that high notes. I almost cry when hear he made that last screaming as Skidrow always been my favourite band for years.

[@larryshaw6512]

I saw them in 1989. saw them again four days ago. It was awesome! So much excitement! They definitely had lightening strike twice!

[@BongDaChongKuoGo]

This is the sound of Skid Row that I know

[@larryshaw6512]

Same 💯‼️

[@guygarcia9257]

I love these guys. And this vocalist is fantastic. Gave me goosebumps

[@timking130]

Wow. Man!!! This guy is freakin unbelievable!!! Wow he’s definitely got some big shoes to fill.

[@DaGuyver]

True. He does an awesome job. Maybe even better than Bach himself in this day and age. But it's insane how high Bach actually could go. Nobody seems to be able to reach it. Not even Bach himself these days. But it just shows how one of a kind Bach and the Skid Row during that period actually was.

[@samuelsherwood298]

One of the best vocalists that exist today, that and skidrow was just bad ass!

[@schlagdog]

I saw videos from the first night and went “this guy is ok”. I watch these and go “Jesus Christ this guy is good”. I should know to not judge on a first show.

[@ghemmajilbury7126]

From the band heat , and now here u are skid row

[@schlagdog]

@@ghemmajilbury7126 I knew of H.E.A.T and never liked them.

[@JJtheguitartech]

Same here. I actually couldn't stand his stage presents when I saw their 1st show. Today I decided to give him another shot and OMFG! This dude kicks ass. I'm glad I gave him a 2nd chance.

[@sharkair2839]

yes but, can he write songs like this?

[@JJtheguitartech]

@@sharkair2839 Their new single is pretty decent. However Bach didn't write most of Skid Rows hits. The band did. Bach mostly just sang and contributed a little here and their.

[@christopherjnoel]

I'm sold. Have to see them now. This guy is a legit Baz fill in.

[@Rallew123]

Erik is just absolutely amazing and completely perfect for this band, anyone saying less is so wrong. Amazing pipes and im so proud of him

[@larryshaw6512]

Absolutely 💯‼️

[@JayLand1973]

Best audio and video I've heard! I appreciate how he keeps it original with his flare! Great! As much I want 'Bas back This young fella is doing a great job. Lightning struck 2x here with Skid Row. Just my opinion

[@warnermusic7736]

Sounds amazing ! breathe of fresh air for Sid Row....the look on Snakes face says it all!

[@Litty2Shoes]

I was at this concert while I was in Vegas for my friends 21st bday. Them and the scorpions were amazing. So happy I got to see 2 bands that I grew up listening to from my parents music

[@marshall9759]

Scotti's still got it and the new singer wow

[@nashdest]

I saw skid row last Thursday at the Burlington sound of music festival. Damn amazing.

[@redbull8661]

This is the best I've heard Skid Row sound in a long time! Definitely will be getting out seeing their show when they get near me.

[@jenniferball1037]

This guy is the best fit I have seen in a band with out original singer. Can't wait to see them on June 2nd!

[@cristo4lee]

I admit, he is impressive in a mighty way. That being said, Bach was always regarded as an all time great front man given his demeanor and personality, not to mention how imposing he is. That part will always be tough to match. Case and point, look how the crowd responds to him when he gets up close and personal in some of the other videos compared to how they still do SB. Either way, this guy is phenomenal in his own right.

[@NoyesFilms]

Fantastic! NOW I'll go see this lineup! Singer killed it. I am very happy for them finding the frontman they need! Though my fave part is at the end when the couple starts fighting. :D Haha!

[@anasaziprog]

Thanx for the videos, Erik is freakin' awesome ! A second chance for Skid Row to play at his best !!!

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

My God this singer does an awesome job

[@xbin87116]

I'd normally say Skid Row or any other band without their original line up isn't the same but with Sebastian's attitude and shitty vocals this guy puts Skid Row up there as they were at in their prime. This front man is spot on with the vocals.

[@zeprulz1]

Started this thinking "No way he's Sebastian". He's not....but he's as good now as Sebastian was 30 years ago. The band found a hellava front man in 2022!!!

[@danadane2501]

I've heard this man sing in H.E.A.T. since about 2011. It shouldn't surprise me at all Erik Gronwell is now Skid Rows frontman. He not only pulls it off but with ease.

[@mateo7sh]

X2 DANA💯

[@jakekaufman8302]

Yes indeed he sounds very much like Bach. Now I accept the fact that Bach is no longer the frontman as Bolan was jealous of him.

[@danadane2501]

@@jakekaufman8302 Rachel was jealous of Bach? I've never heard or read anything of the sort. I've been a Skid fan since very early 90s. Not calling b.s. at all just never heard that before. However yes Skid Row found a great singer in Singer and now I think they found the perfect front man with Gronwell.

[@jakekaufman8302]

@@danadane2501 it was something about Bach making a decision at one of their concerts that went wrong because Bolan didn't agree with him. That's jealousy in my book. As the frontman, Bach had the right to call the shots and Bolan just couldn't get over it so they had a fallout and Bach went solo.

[@danadane2501]

@@jakekaufman8302 With all due respect yes he was the frontman. However Bolan and Snake have always owned Skid Row the band exclusively. All the songs, albums, name and rights there in. Dave and Rachel are the band leaders and have written Skid Rows music and controlled direction from day one. As matter of fact their debut record was already completely recorded and written before Bach even joined. I'm sure you're aware that original singer is/was Mathew Fallon. You decide to go against the guys who run the band in this case you find yourself hiring young musicians to tour and recreate/play songs someone else had you sing on 31-33 years ago. Of course I'm referring to ol "Baz". Example: I sang for 1 band that I didn't own the name to. I made a mistake in one instance and guess what? The principle song writer (lead guitarist/even though I wrote all the lyrics) let me go. The rhythm guitarist took over vocals and the new drummer rewrote all the lyrics. I'm not comparing myself at all don't get me wrong but that's how it works when you join someone else's band.

[@thuphandinh2423]

During the Three Kingdoms period in China, when Chu Du died, he said, "Heaven gave birth to Du, why was Luong born?" Today "God gave birth to Bach, why did he still give birth to Erik. Skid row is back and better than before. Thanks Erik

[@NewAgeMMP]

finally a singer who worth it 🙂

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

Thursday ASpril 14 My wife and I were there/ here MINDBLOWING AUDIO ! both bands were awesome . My wife and I are 58 N 55

[@GregScott616]

I have been waiting for someone to have been born into this world with an amazing natural high voice and then learn how to sing even higher by idolising Sebastian as he grew up singing these songs to then join Skid Row and be as good if not better than Sebastian ever was and revitalise these tired old guys and make them play better than they have for 25 years, this is awesome to see this happening I bet Sebastian is shaking in his boots, how must it feel to be Sebastian right now knowing someone is singing his songs better than he ever did and absolutely kicking ass and making him look like a real old has been. I hope this lights a fire under Mr Bach's ass and he gets himself in shape and works on getting his voice back to the way it was instead the horrible tone he sings with nowadays, Sebastian was brilliant back in the day don't get me wrong but it's been sad watching him deteriorate and become unrecognisable visually and vocally, I can't watch Sebastian sing nowadays as he is sadly disappointing and has lost what he once had.

[@andreiacantizano6961]

He is getting better and better! ❤️

[@scotty666tt]

This kid a rock star

[@mikehinman4500]

You guys sound tight, and Eric hits it out of the park. I will be stopping out to see a show...

[@itzmadisonduh5368]

❤❤❤ he nails it

[@sighermike]

I remember when Journey decided to give Arnel the opportunity to sing for them. They sent him to a vocal specialist to make sure he was singing properly and would be able to sing for years to come with multiple shows in a row. I hope Skid Row did the same for this guy. He's got a great voice and really embodies the original sound and feel of Skid Row. Hopefully he can last for a good long time without destroying his voice. Oh, and that solo during "I Remember You" was pure perfection.

[@ImDembe]

Erik have been singing like this since he was in Idol 2009 in Sweden, havent followed his stuff with HEAT and New Horizon but my guess is that everything is fine in that department.

[@Heavymetaleternia]

He is singing those highs and with such power for many years now (his former band H.E.A.T had at least equally demanding songs). Plus, he already mentioned a few times he is working with a vocal coach for quite some time. So I‘m sure he will last a long time if they let him.

[@shellybean9]

He's been using a vocal coach since before Skid Row and sadly Bach should've been doing the same, but he didn't. Scotti definitely owned that solo.

[@erika8214]

Another shinning talent from Sweden.

[@andersonaraujoluz8978]

Incrível como a voz do Erik caiu "como uma luva" nos vocais do Skid Row. "CANTA 🎶 MUITO"

[@JA-rn5qv]

3 bands of the same genre (heavy metal/glam metal) from the 80/early 90's have an almost impossible task when it comes to trying to find anyone that can match the vocal abilities of their original lead singer, namely G&R's, Skid Row, and Stryper. It each of those cases they had lead singers that were so outrageous in the vocal abilities and range that when other people have tried to fill the shoes of the original, it ends up sounding more like a tribute band with session musicians filling in rather than the original band. If anything I guess it just serves as a reminder of just how great the original lead singer of each of those bands really were. Of course same can be said of many other bands of other genres as well such as rock/hard rock like Boston (Brad Delp), Queen (Freddie Mercury) etc but in those cases the singing style wasn't quite as extreme as in the case of later heavy metal/glam metal , and that does actually come in to play being that the signing styles of the 3 above mentioned bands (yeah I know G&R transitioned more towards hard rock) is that even if/when they can find someone that can come close to matching the range of the original singers, the replacement singer's vocal cords will be shredded in just a few road tours as in most cases they were already straining their vocal abilities to try to match the range/style of the original lead singer. I've seen it happen many times.

[@jeangreenwood6680]

Ya he can sing 🎤 for sure - those are hard songs to hit

[@pabloandresparisi]

09:51 when the singer hit de high note without problem and the bass man not the right fret! 🤣🤣

[@s10compautotech]

I don't miss Bach as much now. Erik is gold!!! Excellent singer!!!

[@danturner5355]

In line with a lot of other comments, we all know it’s not gonna be Sebastian up there. But hands down this is the best I’ve heard them sound. He stays true to the songs, he hits the notes like a champ. Amazing vocalist! A+ I say!

Bands change members all the time, (I'm looking at you, Dave Mustaine) but new singers rarely work. Erik trashes that theory with major chops and presence. This makes me so happy.

[@alfiend331]

This guy is light years better for Skid Row than ZP was. I thought Johnny Solinger was pretty badass too. Still, a reunion of the original guys (including Rob Affuso) would be cool to see. Short of that, this lineup is solid.

[@timking130]

No freakin way! 10:45 is freakin unbelievable!!

[@jasoncrambone4898]

[@timking130]

He just sits down, crosses his legs like This is just what I do.

[@wannapostacomment]

I think Sebastian unknowingly taught this man how be him. He's perfect. A perfect vocal clone, but still really really amazing. The whole band lost 30 years and became themselves again! I miss Bach, but this IS awesome!

Bach is what made this band Skid Row, dude might be able to sing but it's like watching Journey without Perry, not the same

[@shellybean9]

Well like Skid Row who's original singer was matt fallon, Journey's original singer was Greg Rollie (6 albums with Greg), meaning it's not supposed to be the same, but it does say that Skid Row are back as far as I'm concerned. I get it though.

Im a musical purist when it comes to all original members in a band if possible but I hate to admit, Sebastián would be a downgrade for Skid Row at this point.
