Sebastian went on to say that a SKID ROW reunion “should” happen “for the fans. And the ‘Gilmore Girls’ think I’m okay to work with Broadway thinks I’m okay to work with the ‘Trailer Park Boys’ think I’m okay GUNS N’ ROSES think I’m pretty cool. You don’t know anything about what I’m like. “Shut the eff up about you thinking you know what I’m like. We have not been in the same room together since the year 1996,” he said. “When those guys try to say, ‘He’s difficult to work with,’ let me just say this one more time. Last summer, Bach told Florida’s 98.7 The Gater radio station that “there’s no reason” for the classic SKID ROW not to reunite. So, while I’m thankful for people’s interest and whatnot, I’m even more thankful that we still get to play music for a living under our terms.” I don’t wanna be up onstage and kind of living a lie it just doesn’t feel good. A lot of other bands can go out and they don’t see each other till they’re on stage and travel on separate buses and all that stuff, and that’s all well and good, but I don’t wanna live my life like that. I need to be happy being in a band with the people I’m in a band with. So while there may be people out there who are flashing dollar signs with a lot of zeroes, I still have to be happy doing it, and I am. “I have nothing but gratitude and humility for what we have achieved and for what we’re able to continue to do. I mean, Jeez - I live a very, very blessed life, man,” Snake added. “The music climate is what it is, and we’re a classic rock band, and I’m proud of that. And so are the guys everybody’s really happy. “I wanna be happy, and I am very, very happy. “I’ve been asked a thousand times: ‘What about the payday ?’ And that’s all well and good, but if that’s why I did this - if that’s why we did this I can speak for everybody - we probably wouldn’t be doing it,” Sabo explained. “I’m very proud of our past, and all due credit to everybody who’s been involved in every aspect of our career, whoever that may be, ’cause it all led to where we are now. “I am really, really happy where we are,” Snake continued. It’s just one of those things where we still could not see eye to eye we couldn’t even get past the point of simple texting. We dipped our toes in the water and realized that it didn’t feel so good.

He said: “Well, it’s been 23 years, so to say that I’m over it would be an understatement. This past March, Sabo was asked by Scott Penfold of Loaded Radio how he feels about people still calling for a reunion with Bach. Theart was fired from SKID ROW in February and was replaced by Erik Grönwall, who was previously a member of the Swedish hard rock band H.E.A.T. Eight months later, Harnell exited the band and was replaced by South African-born, British-based singer ZP Theart, who previously fronted DRAGONFORCE, TANK and I AM I. SKID ROW fired Solinger over the phone in April 2015, a few hours before announcing ex- TNT vocalist Tony Harnell as his replacement. In 1999, SKID ROW reformed and, after a bit of shuffling over the years, featured a lineup consisting of bassist Rachel Bolan, guitarists Sabo and Scotti Hill, alongside drummer Rob Hammersmith and singer Johnny Solinger. Instead of throwing in the towel, the remaining members took a hiatus and went on to play briefly in a band called OZONE MONDAY. So that conversation doesn’t even enter my brain, to be honest.”īach fronted SKID ROW until 1996, when he was fired. We’re really proud of the way we’re playing and the tours that we’re doing, and we’re just gonna keep moving forward. “We’re really proud of where we’re at right now. And I think we’ve made some really, really great music. “And we have a new record coming out, ‘The Gang’s All Here’. “The only thing that I can have any sort of part of or control over is the right now, and it’s the band that it is now,” he continued. And I’m thankful for everything that we’ve created - all the collective people who’ve been a part of SKID ROW - that we’ve all created since the very beginning up until now. My mind is always in the present and the here and now. Truly, it’s not something that I think about.

I’ve gotta be honest - it’s not something that I think about. Pressed about whether he ever sees a day down the road when he is able to make amends with Sebastian and they are able to have a conversation again, Snake said: “You know what? I don’t know. It was an awful long time ago we’re talking 23 years ago, so that’s an awful long time ago. In a new interview with Pushing The Limits, SKID ROW guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo was asked if he still has a relationship with the band’s former singer, Sebastian Bach.
